Run (A Zombie PJM FF)

"Winter Marie Bennett I could kill you." My mom said over the phone. "Jimin sweetie when she gets you here I'll try to see if there is anyway back to Korea for you okay?"

"Do you... do you know if this happening in Korea?" Jimin almost whispered.

"As of right now it's just in the city. Thats why I need her to get you out. I'll keep in touch stay alert both of you and do not stop for anyone."

"Noodles and Ramen mom. I'm going to get Noodles and Ramen."

"Winter Marie Bennett did you not hear me?"

"I'm sorry mom." And I end the call.

"Noodles and Ramen? Are we getting food?" Jimin looks at me confused.

"No they're my pets and I'm not leaving them here. I live in the outskirts of the city. Not many people live there."

He nods. "You couldn't save my friends but were going to risk our life for your pets?"

"Listen Jimin, unfortunately your friends which I'm a fan of clearly, didn't make it. I can't go back. They were being bitten. I saw it with my own eyes and I know you did too. How you survived by the time I got there I couldn't tell you Jimin. But you did. My pets have no way to feed them selves or defend themselves. We're getting them." I see him crying again. "Jimin I'm sorry. My brother and best friend were there too."

"I want my mom." He says looking at me.

"You don't have your phone on you huh?" He shakes his head no. "Do you know her number?" He nods yes. "Here. Use my phone. I have free international calling it should uh reach her."

He takes my phone and quickly dials her number. They speak in korean.

"Eomma?" Jimin cries when she answers.

"Jimin?" She ends up crying hysterically on the other line.

"I'm okay eomma." He sniffles. "But I have to go soon. I just wanted to tell you I loved you."

"I love you too Jimin." She says and he hangs up.

"Please stop crying Jimin." I say.

"What if the zombies go to korea?"

"They're probably cutting off all flights."

I look up and there's a bunch of military helicopters every where. I turn on the radio to listen to whats happening.

A zombie out break has happened, starting at a BTS concert in Boston, MA today. There is reportedly no survivors of the BTS members themselves however fans say that the concert experience was traumatic and has left them unable to relax once in the quarantine zone. We'll update more as we find out about the BTS members and we hope some how some way they survived.

Jimin looks at me wide eyed. "They think I'm dead?"

"Jimin, all of your band mates were attacked. Naturally they'd assume that...." He begins crying again. "Jimin you have to pull yourself together alright?" I pull into my driveway. "Come with me and lock your door." I grab the keys and lock my door, I run into my house with Jimin right next to me. "Listen I don't know if we will be able to make it to my mom. In case of that, we'll need supplies."

"Like?"

"Food, water, blankets, I have a tent and flash lights. I'll throw it in duffel bags and you run them out to the car okay?" He nods. We walk into my room and Jimin smirks.

"So I'm your bias?" He laughs.

I slap his chest. "Listen right now you're a pain in my ass and I can leave you here."

"Sorry..." he mumbles.

I roll my eyes and grab Noodles. I gently place him in his cat carrier and place him near the door next I grab the small container Ramen came in. "I'm sorry little buddy I know this little container sucks but I have to get you out of here." I scoop him into it and grab his jar of food.

"We came back for a fish?" Jimin questions.

"Ramen is my family and if you don't like it you can leave."

He sighs and comes and looks at him. "How old is he?"

"I guess we'll never really know his true age but I've had him for 3 years." He nods. "Alright take all the canned goods out of my cupboard. And any other non perishable food item. Throw them in those lawn bags. I'll bring the cases of water out along with my cat."

I pick up 3 packages of water and run them out of the car then grab noodles and ramen and gently buckle his carrier in the car. I place Ramen in the cup holder. Jimin follows behind me with a large bag of food. "The trunk." I point and run back in the house. All the food was packed. I grab a can opener and toss it in a duffle bag, I take all the blankets from my room and some pillows and run them to the car.

"Jimin I need you to grab all of the medicine and first aid things out of my bathroom and throw them in a bag. I have to grab the camping equipment." We both run in separate directions and meet at the car again. We toss all the stuff in the trunk. "One more thing." I huff back into the house and grab my 3 favorite stuffed animals and a family photo of my family. I hesitate then grab a polaroid of BTS as well for Jimin. I look around one last time and grab a bag of charged portable chargers, and a box of tea candles. I toss everything in the trunk and slam it shut.

"Do we really need all of that stuff?" Jimin says.

"Mostly yes. Especially if anything happens." I pull out and drive towards my family's vacation home. "Listen Jimin. I know what you seen was traumatic but please do not lose focus."

"I won't."

"Can you use any weapons?"

"I um, I can do archery."

"Cool I grabbed a bow and a hunting gun along with some throwing knifes and hunting knifes."

He nods. "Why did you have those?"

I roll my eyes. "I'm a girl who lives by herself Jimin get real."

"You don't have to be so mean." He shrugs.

"I'm sorry, I just..." tears fall down my cheeks.

"I'm scared too." He whispers.
