A Cruel Twist Of Fate

Chapter 9

[Mina's POV]

After meeting two fellow survivors, Taehyun and Chaewon. We were following them back to their safe place. Though they were also on a supply run, so we stopped by a few stores and put the supplies in a different bag since Yeonjun's was already full of stuff he had from the earlier days of the infection. Yeonjun was writing in his journal again which I assume was about the carnival. It sucked how we had to see such a beautiful place at a not very ideal time.

Taehyun is quite a bold person and his bravery is admirable like Yeonjun's, he's also leading the group which I find to be impressive. On the other hand, I do find something about Chaewon strange and it all comes down to her interactions with Yeonjun. Yeonjun just thinks she's shy around him, but she doesn't act that way around neither Taehyun or me. We arrived at Yeongsan, Seoul where they told us their safe place was located.

"You see that building right there? That's our safe place!" Chaewon said. She pointed at a hotel, we could actually sleep on a bed for once now... I mean Yeonjun, he's been camping out in a forest for a month before we met.

"They'll be surprised we found more people. Finding other survivors isn't an easy task," Taehyun said.

"How many other people are there?" Yeonjun and I asked.

"Besides Chaewon and me, there's 7 other people staying with us."

"7 is plenty of people," I said.

"You bet and now we can bump those numbers to 11 including us," Chaewon said.

We all headed towards the gate, but it looked like it was on some kind of lockdown. Taehyun and Chaewon told us that if they were out late at night that they had the other members staying to take precautions by lighting a fire in front of the fence, locking the door with a keycard that the other survivors hid, and a wrench. We brought a wrench from the previous location so we immediately got that part over with. We needed to find a fire extinguisher and the keycard now.

"We'll need to find those to be able to get in?" I asked.

"Yeah, be careful though since there's infected roaming the streets at night," Taehyun said.

"Of course there's gonna be infected..." Yeonjun said and turned away.

"What's wrong with him?" Chaewon asked finally warming up to Yeonjun's presence.

"It's a long story, but had to witness losing people he cared about..." I said.

"I guess we're all in the same boat in that regards," Taehyun said.

[Yeonjun's POV]

"Say how many bullets and arrows do you guys have left?" Chaewon asked and pointed at my gun and Mina's crossbow.

"I have six bullets," I said.

"I have four arrows," Mina said.

"If you're in danger then be sure to use them, once we get inside we have more bullets and arrows we found during some of our supply runs," Taehyun said.

"Alright, should we stick together? Or should we split into pairs?" Mina asked.

"Yeonjun... Um how old are you?" Taehyun asked.

"I'm 20 and Mina is also 20," I said.

"Okay then Yeonjun hyung you're with me, Mina noona you can be with Chaewon noona."

"Alright I'm fine with that," Mina said.

"Same here," Chaewon said and we split up.

I followed Taehyun into an apartment while the girls checked an office building. Taehyun and I investigated each floor finding some locked doors that'd require keycards rather than keys. Taehyun told me that when the infection broke out that people living in this apartment panicked and tried fleeing their apartments.
