Apocalypse // Stray Kids

Ha-rin

We sat in the other room as the boys took turns on using the toilet in the next room. I had my head down on the table, feeling as tired as ever, but I don't think I can sleep with what's going on right now.

Han came out of the room sighed in relief and leaned against the door. Everyone groaned in disgust as they smelt the smell from the recording room.

"Stop being dramatic, it doesn't smell too bad." Han said as he sat in the corner next to Rhys.

"I told you to hold it in." Lee Know said, scrunching his face in repel.

"Well I couldn't." Han retorted back.

"No one's there." Clara said, standing at the window, "all the lights are off in that building. They either got out or they're dead."

"What do you mean by that?" Jeremy asked.

"What I mean is that no one is coming to save us." She said quietly as she turned away from the window and leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor. "My mum would tear this city apart to look for me, but no one had come."

"So what should we do next?" I.N asked everyone.

"We have to wait to be rescued." Jeremy said.

"What if nobody comes?" Changbin said, "then what?"

"Do you think we should wait until we die?" Jeremy said sarcastically.

"No." Changbin answered.

"Then we should wait for as long as we can, there's no way we can get out now anyway."

"Someone will come in the morning, right? It's only nighttime and there's a lot of helicopters flying around." Felix said as he sat on the ground next to Bangchan.

"Yes, someone will eventually come for us." Bangchan answered, "we just don't know when."

I sat in the chair and placed my head back down in my arms before I thought of something and then lifted my head back up. "Wait a minute." I said quietly, but getting everyone's attention, "we can put up a sign for help. Dad taught me an SOS signal that's used internationally." I told them, getting out of my seat and pacing around the room, trying to remember what it was. "I had red and blue and it was arranged in some sort of pattern."

"Or should we just write SOS on a curtain." Rhys said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Let's do that." Clara said.

"We're not gonna last long anyway." Clarity said as she leaned calmly against the wall. "Three minutes without oxygen, three days without water and three weeks without food."

"What?" Han questioned.

"It's how long a person can survive." Clarity said, looking down at the floor.

"It's only been a day, we have to try and survive." Hyunjin spoke up. He hasn't said much at all at this time. "We need to leave this room at sometime."

"We won't leave this building until we know something which can help ourselves stay alive." Clarity told him.

"What do we need to know? All we need to know is that there's zombies out there trying to kill us." Felix said.

"What she means is that we need to know more about the situation before we make any plans." Lee Know explained.

"What can we find out on this situation and how?" Clara asked.

"Our phone." Han piped up.

"We don't have them Sherlock." 

"We don't, but the teacher's office does."

Hyunjin

I followed Rhys and Lee Know to the window the next morning, frightened of what I'm going to face.

"Hyunjin, wait." Someone called, I turned to see Ha-rin coming up to me. "Stop being so stubborn." She said sternly. I smirked at her.

"Two rooms across and one floor down, it's a piece of cake." I told her and turned to the window again to follow Lee Know out.

"You shouldn't go anyway." She said, making me pull back from the window and look at her. "What? Worried about me?"

"Not worried, just pissed at you."

I gave out a small chuckle. "I'll be right back once we've gotten a phone or some sort of help." I told her and went out the window and followed Lee Know on the ledge of the building, Rhys leading us as we balanced against the windows.

"I heard Ha-rin told you she liked you." I said to Lee Know. He looked behind him to glance at me and he chuckled. "Is that really the thing to be talking about right now." He said.

I shrugged. "I'm just wondering. Are you gonna go out with her?"

"Do you think I should?"

I was about to say something else until Rhys turned to us and told us to be quiet as he slid down a pipe against the building and onto the ledge bellow us and entered the window under. Lee Know and I copied his actions.

We snuck around the office, opening a few cupboards and drawers to find the phones.

"Found them!" Rhys hissed and Lee Know and I rushed over to him and checked all the phones, but most of them were flat. "Shit." I whispered under my breath before I picked up the next one and it turned on. "Here." I said.

"Great, let's go back." Rhys whispered and he was to lead the way back to the window, but he grabbed my shirt and pulled me down. "Lee Know, get down!" He hissed.

"What's wrong?" Lee Know asked.

""Zombies are coming in, we have no way out." Rhys said.

"Fuck." I whispered and rested my head against the desk and closed my eyes, trying to catch my breath and calm down. "We gotta get out the door and get back to the recording room." Rhys whispered and the threw a pencil in the corner closer to us. He nodded the opposite way as the zombies ran over to the noise, but then started growling calmly when they realized nothing was there for them.

Sneakily made it to the door, but then a zombie hissed at us and Rhys blocked our way. "Get to the window and climb out! Hurry!" He yelled.

"What about you?" I shouted.

"Just go! You won't have time to worry about me!" He screamed as he punched a zombie and then lifted another one. 

Lee Know ran to the window, but I ran to the door. "Hyunjin! What are you-!" Lee Know hissed at me.

"We need to split up, go back to the room!" I hissed back and ran out the door.

I stayed quiet so I didn't alert too many zombies, but I didn't go far. I only made it to the principal's office and closed the door there, figuring how to get back to the recording room with everyone else.

I turned to see two other people in here with me. A student, who I believe is Hyun Duri and the principal. Duir was holding a knife to the principal's neck and I swallowed nervously.
