INFECTION (ATEEZ FF)

14

"So you're telling us that the both of you snuck out of your rooms and went to the forbidden section of the building only to find Professor Yeager making clones of the infected?" Seonghwa recited what me and Hongjoong just told the. We both quickly nodded in response.

"Wow we've only been here a day and more shit is going down." Yunho said, slurping on his ramen. Seonghwa glared at him and he instantly looked down, muttering a small 'sorry' in the process.

"Are you sure the both of you weren't dreaming?" Yeosang asked.

"No way. I mean If this happened about 2 weeks ago before all this happened then we would've understood if you guys didn't believe us then, but think about it. We've seen infected people walking around on the streets. Normally you would only see that in movies."

"I believe you. He did look incredibly suspicious when we first met him. I would have a feeling he would've been planning something big. He did take our weapons away too." Mingi stated, drinking his glass of orange juice.

"Same here. The guy is a complete prick. He split Ara and you away from us." San huffed, leaning back in his chair.

"What does prick mean oppa?" Ara asked Wooyoung innocently. Wooyoung's eyes widened.

"Umm don't worry about it Ara-shi. San was saying a very naughty word." He said, messing up the girl's hair.

"All i'm wondering now is when he's going to actually set them loose." I spoke up.

"Could be really soon so everyone please be on guard. I don't want anyone to be hurt, let alone scratched. I can't bear if any of you turn into one of those monsters." Hongjoong said, watching the brown haired professor enter the room. It looked like he had something to say.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" The room immediately became silent as everyone turned to look at the man.

"I would like to thank everyone here who decided to take hostility in our very own safe haven. I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm with all the activities we have set up for you to do over the past week. Sadly, I have to say that it'll all be coming to an end." There was a lot of muttering going around the room, people trying to figure out what he meant.

"You see, i've become fascinated with the idea of the infected, which is why I have been doing some research here. I was one of the original creators for the drug that had turned millions around South Korea into zombie-like creatures. Which is why I am now starting an experiment in this very building." I watched as everyone in the room was shocked at his words. He was the creator? I watched as the man's eyes darkened, a huge smirk decorating his face.

"Let's see how fast you can run from them." He pressed a button and we all heard a click of a door opening above us. We heard people scream and run around, looking for an exit. We were all vulnerable. I immediately stood up and lifted Ara up, holding onto her tightly.

"Let's head to the room where our weapons are being kept!" Jongho said, leading the way so we can get our stuff back. San kicked the door open when we made it there, quickly grabbing his katana and we grabbed the rest of the weapons that were scattered around the room. I placed Ara down gently and told her to stay with us at all times, which she listened to, standing next to Yeosang and Wooyoung.

"You think you can get the laser door open Yeo?" Hongjoong asked the boy, who nodded.

"I can but it could take a few minutes to hack through the security. I'll need you all to hold off the infected." We all nodded. Me, Mingi, Seonghwa and Yunho all stood in front of Yeosang as were were shooting the infected whereas the rest ran towards them as they were holding melee weapons. Ara stood next to Yeosang, watching the boy at work.

"They keep coming!"

"Why won't you fuck off!" We heard the other boys shout as they were fighting the creatures off. Whilst I was shooting I heard screams of people getting killed by the creatures. I watched Aliyah and I believe her younger brother trying to run towards us, only to have an arm from the infected go straight through their chests. My eyes widened. I put my gun down and grabbed a baseball bat with spikes on it.

"Protect Ara and Yeosang!" I shouted to the three boys.

"Kyra, get back here now!" Seonghwa shouted, still shooting the infected.

"They killed a friend of mine, so it's only fair that I go to the front lines!" I ran away from them, joining the others. I started whacking the skulls of the infected who were heading towards me when they noticed my presence.

"Kyra what are you doing here? Get back to Yeosang!" Hongjoong shouted over to me.

"It's better if I help you guys out here. We'll hold them off quicker!" I said as I ran over to Aliyah. She was still breathing.

"Aliyah, look at me, you're going to be fine. I'll patch it up for you."

"Kyra, you...can't patch it up....an arm went straight...through me..." She spoke hoarsely as she groaned in pain. Tears were rolling down her cheek as he held my arm.

"Aliyah?"

"Survive....for...me....please..." She said, her eyes slowly closing. The grip she had on my arm softened, her arm falling to the ground.

"I'VE GOT THE DOOR OPEN! LET'S GO!" I heard Yeosang call out to us. I was shaking with grief, tears flowing down my cheeks. I then felt someone grab my arm and pull me up.

"She's gone Kyra, we need to go." I heard San softly speak to me. I slowly nodded and he dragged me towards the exit, his grip not letting go. We ran out of the building to find Zeke there.

"So you all managed to escape, well not for-"

"Bye bitch!" Mingi shot the guy in the chest, instantly killing him.

"Good job Mingi." Yeosang patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Someone had to do it."

"Hey I wanted to kill the man!" Wooyoung whined, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well it's done now so let's go back to the house we were staying in."

"You do realise that there's still infected people following us right?" Jongho pointed out. We all quickly ran like cartoon characters towards the truck that we left alone, instantly climbing into it.

"LET'S GO SEONGHWA!" Hongjoong shouted out. Seonghwa started the truck and we drove away.

"Anyone have a spare grenade-"

"NO." They all shouted at me.

"But I promise i'll look this time."

"Don't believe you."
"Can't trust you."
"We don't have anymore."
"Not buying it."

"Wow, you guys are really supportive." I sarcastically spoke out, turning around to watch the infected try to keep up with the truck. As Seonghwa's driving like a maniac, there's no chance they're getting close to the truck.

"Umm, unnie..." I heard Ara speak out. I turned to her and saw that she was softly crying.

"Ara, are you alright?" I asked her and she shook her head in response.

"Unnie...I've been scratched..."

My heart immediately shattered.
