Seventeen Zombie Apocalypse AU

🧪Fifty four🦠

"oh my god are you guys okay?!" Chan ran over to Seungkwan and Y/n, having watched the scene from a distance. Seungkwan had long dropped the blade from his hands, Y/n whining about him damaging her precious weapon. He looked like he was having a meltdown,
"does this make me a bad person? am i going to hell now? oh my god I can't believe i've just killed someone" Seungkwan rambled on, running his hands through his hair over and over as if it were a ritual.

The rest of the group made their way over from each of their previous hiding spots. Jeonghan sighed and used his sleeve to wipe Y/n's face.
"how do you always manage to end up covered in blood hmm?" he questioned. She closed her eyes when he wiped over her eyes, smiling softly at the gesture. Jeonghan had always treated her with so much care as if she were his own little sister.

"The real question is why do you always get yourself into trouble?" Seungcheol asked rhetorically, a playful smirk on his face.

"why are you all so calm?!" Seungkwan exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air dramatically. Everyone just stared at him for a few seconds. Seokmin walked over to him coolly and pat his shoulder,
"don't worry kid, you'll get used to it" he said. Soonyoung and Mingyu instantly burst out laughing at Seokmin trying to be cool and nonchalant.
"says you" Soonyoung continued to laugh.
"yeah i mean you still scream like a little girl when something bad happens" Mingyu added, wiping his eyes and doubling over as he laughed, hitting Soonyoung's shoulder.
"okay guys that's enough, we need to keep moving" Jihoon said, trying to bite back his own smirk.

For the most part, besides Seungkwan who was still getting over killing his first zombie, everyone was in a good mood and their spirits were high.

Junhui's head was cast downward the majority of the time, his eyes glued to the map in his hands, reading out directions every now and then. Minghao would occasionally need to guide him away from trees and poles - well he took it upon himself to help him after he witnessed him trip over a pothole in the ground.

Chan was still trying to make his "weapon" that he crafted back at the cabin stay together, it falling apart every two seconds. Seungkwan was trying to help him because apparently he now "knew all about weapons and protecting people" even though his hands were still shaking.

Soonyoung and Mingyu were still making fun of Seokmin, impersonating him every now and then, cracking up laughing in random moments of silence. Seokmin would try to be mad but would ultimately cave and end up laughing with them.

Seungcheol was reluctantly giving Y/n a piggyback ride. He refused her request multiple times but eventually gave up when he couldn't stand her complaining and pestering anymore.

Jeonghan was walking next to Seungcheol and Y/n, sulking because Seungcheol wasn't giving him a piggyback ride instead, muttering something about favouritism and him being a pushover for his younger sister. He brushed his hair, that was now tied up into a small ponytail which Y/n had done for him earlier because "she thought he looked pretty", behind his ears dramatically as he rolled his eyes.

Vernon and Jihoon were walking in silence, Vernon occasionally rapping to a random song that popped into his head, trying to fill the awkward silence but ultimately making it worse. Jihoon would just tell him to shut up and that he was being annoying, and Vernon would listen and shut up...for about a minute and then he would randomly start rapping again.

They all continued to walk for as long as they could, not wanting to stop unless they absolutely had too. It was starting to get dark so it was hard to see where they were walking and it was getting harder for Junhui to direct them in the dark. Everyone was gradually becoming tired, their walking pace slowing down significantly as they became fatigued from travelling all day without rest. Their reaction times were also a lot slower, so it was becoming more and more dangerous for them to continue on their journey to Busan.

"we should stop for the night, we'll get going again as soon as it gets bright out" Seungcheol said, loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone was quick to agree, wanting to rest as soon as they could. They walked for a little while longer until they found a few buildings, most of them were destroyed and were just piles of rubble and concrete but there was one that was still standing.

The building was an old library, filled to the brim with books that littered the shelves as well as the floor. Once everyone filed inside and made sure the building was empty and free of zombies, Mingyu and Seungcheol stacked a few shelves in front of the door so nothing could get in while they were sleeping.

Everyone chose a place within the small building that was comfortable enough for them to sleep. Y/n stood staring at the array of books, a thoughtful and somewhat sad expression on her face. She jumped slightly when Jeonghan spoke next to her, bringing her back to the present.
"hey you okay?" he asked, noticing how her eyes shone slightly.
"When we found Shua, he was in a bookstore, being here with all these books lying around...it just..it reminds me of that" she paused and looked at Jeonghan, a sad smile on her face as she tried to hold back her tears.
"I miss him Jeonghan..I miss him so much" her voice broke and she began to finally cry when Jeonghan cradled her head against his chest.
"I miss him too".
