A Cruel Twist Of Fate

Chapter 6

[Mina's POV]

We got Yeonjun into the hospital room. He was still sleeping, but he was moving around a lot like he was having some kind of nightmare. We were waiting for results from a doctor who ran tests and scans on his body. All he keeps saying is Changbin, is it someone he knows? The doctor came back with the test results and PD-nim and I listened to what he had to say.

"We ran multiple tests on Choi Yeonjun here and he's showing signs of the infection," the doctor said. This had us both worried, the person who saved me is gonna be infected... "But surprisingly, he hasn't turned. I don't know how, but he should be infected by now."

"Did he cure himself?" PD-nim asked.

"We don't have a certain answer of what this means, but it's a miracle he's surviving the infection like this. Other scans tell us that he's safe to be around so don't worry."

"Phew, thank goodness he's alright!" I said.

"Who's this Changbin guy he's been hallucinating about?" PD-nim asked.

"Changbin is another officer working alongside Yeonjun, from the looks of it they were really close friends," the doctor said.

"So... He lost his friend to the infected..." I said feeling bad for Yeonjun. I remember finding that journal Yeonjun had in his bag. I decided to read what he wrote in there, I flipped through a couple pages and read them. He's been writing about his experiences during the infection. He wrote about a house, the station, the gallery, and now the forest. Those were only four pages, but he had plenty to write about. I looked at Yeonjun and decided to wait for him to regain consciousness. "Should we tell him about his supposed infection?"

"Maybe it's best if we leave him in the dark, if he learns of this he will distance himself certainly and most likely die to them instead of getting infected."

[Yeonjun's POV]

I woke up in some kinda of empty white room, I looked around and recalled what happened. At the sewers after escaping the school I fainted because of a headache. I saw visions of my parents and Changbin for some reason. I don't know why Bang Chan wasn't among them, but this wasn't a dream I wanted to wake up from.

"Mom, dad, and Changbin?" I said.

"You failed..."

"I-I'm sorry..."

"You couldn't protect us..."

"I-I know, I wasn't there when you guys needed me the most..."

"You should've died back at that house you know?"

"I know I know, I don't know why I'm alive!"

"Don't listen to them Yeonjun!" I heard a voice call out to me. I looked behind and saw a vision of Mina. "It's a miracle you're still alive! Don't let that go to waste!" she said.

"You're right, I can still hope for a better future!" I shouted.

"Insolent brat..."

"No you're the insolent one! What's done is done, I won't live in the past with all of my regrets haunting me!"

*Gasp*

"Yeonjun! Thank god you woke up!" Mina said and hugged me.

"Mina? Wait where am I?" I asked.

"You're in the hospital, we took you here after you fainted in the sewers."

"Oh..." I looked around, I was indeed inside a hospital room.
