Seventeen Zombie Apocalypse AU

🧪Fourty seven🦠

The group struggled to keep the door closed. The zombies that were behind it were banging loudly against it which attracted more and more of them. Jihoon looked over at Y/n who was next to him as he pushed against the door.
"Y/n go see if the stairwell is clear" he said, sweat dripping from his forehead as he used all his strength to keep the door closed. She hesitated to take her hands off the door.
"now! we don't exactly have a lot of time" Jihoon yelled, growing impatient. Y/n quickly took her hands off the door and ran down a few steps, leaning her body over the railing so she could look down a few flights.

Her stomach dropped. The noise that was being made against the door was attracting zombies from other levels of the shopping mall. She watched as zombies from other floors were quickly making their way up the stairs to where the noise was coming from.
"fuck fuck fuck" she repeated, running her hand through her hair out of stress. She quickly ran back over to the others,
"there's more of them coming from downstairs, we need to go up" she informed.
"but thats the roof?" Vernon asked.
"it's our only option so unless you want to suggest something else i suggest you start running" Jihoon retorted back. Vernon nodded and began running up the stairs, Y/n and Seokmin following suit.

The others stayed back for a few seconds to continue holding the door. When they heard noises coming from the stair case a floor below them they decided to take their hands off the door, the door immediately slamming open. The zombies behind the door fell forward and they began piling up on top of one another, allowing the males time to run up the stairs to the roof. There was another door that they needed to open in order to gain access to the rooftop, luckily this one was able to be locked from the other side.

Everyone breathed heavily with their hands on their knees.
"why do we always end up on the rooftops of buildings..." Seokmin breathed out while trying to catch his breath.
"Is there a way down?" Y/n asked Mingyu as he looked over the edge of the building for a safe escape off the roof. He looked around for a few more seconds before shaking his head. They all jumped when they heard a sudden and loud bang on the door to the roof. The door shook violently with the constant banging and pressure being applied behind it from the zombies trying to get to them.

There was a building next to the shopping mall which was around the same height but it was a fair distance away from the roof they were on. A few of the males made their way to the edge of the roof, peering over at the buildings roof across from them.
"we could probably make that jump" Vernon mumbled, trying to calculate the distance in his head. Y/n looked down over the edge, feeling her stomach churn. It was high. Very high. If you fell from that distance it would lead to a very certain death and that didn't exactly sit very well with her.

"I'm not jumping based off a 'probably' I don't really feel like dying today" she said, backing away from the edge, hugging her arms tightly to her body.
"that door isn't going to hold forever, so if we don't jump we're going to die anyway and i would honestly  rather die quickly from falling than die to those things" Seungcheol said, trying to motivate his sister but failing miserably. She shook her head,
"I don't know... I can't do it". She felt herself start to panic. Her brother sighed and held her shoulders,
"you'll be fine okay, i'll go first so i can be on the other side to catch you alright?" he reassured. She would be lying if she said that made her feel better. She didn't want to jump because she was scared of falling to her death, why would she want her brother to jump and possibly fall too?

When he didn't receive an answer from her he just decided to prepare himself to jump across to the other building. There was a gap in the parapet (the wall along the edge of the building) which made it easier to jump from one roof to the other. He gave himself a few metres and started sprinting, jumping at the last second across to the other building. He made it across safely and made it look fairly easy, encouraging the others to do the same. A few of the other males made it across fairly easily as well, some of them stumbling or falling over once they made it to the other side.

Soonyoung and Y/n were last two still on the shopping mall roof. Y/n was pacing back and forth nervously. She was the shortest out of everyone in the group, which meant she had shorter legs and would need to jump further compared to the others. Her anxiety rose with every passing second, the loud banging and growling from behind the door only making it worse.
"Y/n hurry up you need to jump!" Seungcheol shouted from the other roof, ushering her over with his arms.
