INFECTION (ATEEZ FF)

17

It's been 3 days since Ara's death. After the funeral was over I sat next to her grave in the garden. When it was pouring it down I stayed there. It took Seonghwa, Mingi and Jongho to drag me inside the house. I didn't want to leave Ara's side but Seonghwa said that I should take care of myself too. 

The day after I came down with a fever so I was mostly lying in bed the whole day with the boys coming up every now and then bringing me food or keeping me company.

2 days later I have now locked myself away from everyone. I don't want to talk to anyone right now. I miss Ara being here. I can't bear it. But I still want to find this cure. I took out the piece of paper and unravelled it. I read through all of the ingredients and started researching and creating formulas for the drug. As the daughter of 2 scientists it shouldn't be too hard.

Don't worry Ara, I won't let anyone else die.

Hongjoong's P.O.V:

We're all sat around the living room again. Kyra hasn't come down which is worrying us. She's locked her door which we did fix the other day when she was bedridden with a fever. We've knocked but hadn't recieved an answer. It probably best if we left her alone for the time being. She needs space, especially from what happened three days ago.

"So, what now?" Yeosang spoke up, making all our heads turn his way.

"Well we still need to find that cure. Why don't we just continue finding one?" Yunho suggested. I shook my head.

"There's honestly no point anymore. We only wanted to find that cure for Ara's sake but now that she's gone what's the point anymore?" I replied, immediately receiving glares from everyone else. But it's true. I don't know anyone else here. My family are all in America at the moment so what's the point of me even trying to find one anymore? I could just move to America now for all I care, and they could all just come with me.

"There is a point for everything Hongjoong. We all still want to find that cure for everyone else who is still suffering out there. I want to find it so that when my brother comes back here from Japan, he isn't immediately killed by one of those things." Seonghwa said to me.

"Why can't you just go to him?"

"Because then that means I would have to leave all of you shitheads here to fend for yourselves. You all would die of starvation if I left you all to survive on your own."

"I can cook..." Wooyoung softly spoke out, hesitating to raise his arm.

"Look, can't we all just agree to find it? I mean if we don't then we could all die. Plus, none of us know how to drive a plane, yet drive a boat. I don't have all the arm power in the world to row one all the way to another country either." Mingi said, squeezing his arm to signify his muscles aren't no match for the currents of the water.

"If only we had a pirate ship." Jongho muttered out.

"Which side are all of you seriously on here? Hongjoong if you wanna go to America then go, there's no one stopping you. I'm going to find a cure." Seonghwa said, getting up from his seat and walking away from the room. I rose from my seat.

"Are you actually going hyung?" San asked me. I gave him a nod.

"How are you actually going to get there?"

"Fate I guess." I walked out of the house.

Kyra's P.O.V:

I was still researching when I heard a knock on my door.

"Kyra? It's me Jongho. I need to tell you something important." I sighed and opened the door.

"What is it?" I coldly asked him.
