INFECTION (ATEEZ FF)

24

*2 Weeks later*

I have officially moved in with Jongho and his family for the time being before I go to college. Jongho's mother really didn't want me to live at my parent's house by myself so she invited me to live with them, which I gladly accepted. Now I get to see my best friend everyday. But because of that we now bicker constantly. His parents say that we are like brother and sister when we do. We technically are though. We've known each other for 10 years. 

Me and Jongho are moving to ATEEZ High School today. He told me the rest of the boys have already done so as some of them still weren't in the same school as the others. I agreed to move with him. I didn't want to be left behind. Besides, Jongho was my only friend there anyways.

I was brushing my hair when he barged into my room.

"Hey are you even ready yet?! You're taking forever you know!" He started shouting at me.

"It's only been 5 minutes you asshole! And stop barging in here! What if I was getting changed?!" I shouted back. 

"I wouldn't give a shit! Anyways you're ugly to look at so I would turn my back to you immediately."

"Next time knock!" I said, throwing my hairbrush at him and it hit him straight on the forehead. He groaned in pain.

"Ouch! You bitch!" He shouted.

"Now leave! I'll be down in a minute!" He walked out of the room, rubbing his forehead in pain. I picked my hairbrush up and placed it on the desk I was sitting at. I then picked up my schoolbag and walked downstairs to find Jongho talking with his mom.

"Are you sure you don't want me taking you and Kyra to school?" She asked him to which he shook his head.

"It's okay mom, besides, it's not that far of a walk from here. Much closer to our last one."

"Hey asshole, ready to go?" I asked him, interrupting the conversation the two were having. He scoffed.

"Yes dickwad, let's go." We both said goodbye to Jongho's mom and we left the house.

"So how long is it to get there?" I asked him.

"Only about 5 minutes or so." 

"Yay! I can't wait to see everybody!"

"You saw them 2 weeks ago. Plus, you're only excited to see San again." He smirked and my face went red by what he said.

"H-HUH?? N-not just San you know! I can't wait to see everyone else too!"

"Yeah, sure." He said, rolling his eyes in the process.

We then walked in silence until we got to the school. It looks so much brighter that what it looked like when I first went here at the start of the infection. There was actually nature here, trees, bushes and flowers galore. We entered to see no one around. Is everyone in class already?

"Jongho, are we late? No-one's here." I asked him, looking around the deserted corridor.

"No, I was told to come at this time so it's much easier to get our schedules. Come on, the principal's office is just down the hall." We walked up to the door which said 'Principal's Office' and knocked on the door. We both heard a small 'Come in'. Jongho pulled the handle down and we both entered to see a middle aged woman sitting at the desk, looking at us with a small smile on her face.

"Well if it isn't South Korea's saviours. Good to see the both of you. Here for your schedules?"

"Yes ma'am." We both said and she chuckled slightly.

"I've put you two in the same classes as your friends. Don't worry, I haven't told them that you both were going to be doing so." She said as she handed us our timetables. Our first lesson was Maths in 205. We both thanked her and left the office.

"Right, now let's go and find our Maths class." Jongho spoke up, taking a look at what room it's in.

"It says 205, so isn't that the second floor?" I asked him.

"Right. Let's get going then." We then started to ascend the stairs. When we got to the second floor, we found the classroom we're meant to be in is literally the first room on the right after getting up the stairs. We both went up to the door and knocked on it. The door opened to reveal a tall male. 

"You must be the new students. Please do come in and introduce yourselves to the class." Jongho walked in first and I followed behind him. We heard whispers immediately after we entered. We turned to face everyone to find our friends looking at the both of us in shock.

"Hi everyone, my name is Choi Jongho and it's a pleasure to meet you all." He gave everyone a smile and all of the girls in the class cooed and had hearts in their eyes as they stared at him.

"Hello, my name is Jung Kyra. Nice to meet you." I spoke out afterwards. 

"Okay then, Jongho you can sit in between San and Yeosang. Kyra, you can sit behind Mingi next to Yunho." The teacher said. We both nodded and went to our seats.

"Nice seeing you here Kyra. We all thought Jongho was coming alone to be honest. We were all pretty bummed." Mingi told me as soon as I sat down.

"Well he couldn't leave me alone at our last school so I decided to transfer too."

"I'm glad. Class wouldn't have been fun without you bestie." Yunho cheekily grinned at me. I smiled back and we both started to pay attention to the class.

It was now after school and we all decided to go out for a celebratory meal due to our success with the cure and stopping the infection. We hadn't been able to do so yet because most of us were catching up with family over the past 2 weeks. Now that we're all in the same school together, we can do so. Yeosang wanted to go to KFC but we all declined saying that we wanted proper meat. Seonghwa then pitched the idea of us going to an all you can eat korean barbeque place. He even said that their was Korean Fried Chicken there, which instantly caught Yeosang's attention. We all agreed to go so that's where we're at now.

"Table for 9 please." Hongjoong spoke up for us. The lady nodded and beckoned for us to follow her. She led us to a huge round table with 2 grills in the middle.

"Your meat will be here shortly." She said. She was about to leave when Yeosang called for her again.

"Can we also have 2 bowls of fried chicken please? And 9 glasses of cola." She nodded with a smile and walked over to the kitchen.

"So it's our first actual meal out together as a 9. This is new. Normally i'm used to eating Seonghwa's or Kyra's cooking." Wooyoung spoke up, leaning back in his seat with a small smile on his face.

"I know right? I really felt like the whole infection thing was going on for years, yet it was only a few months." Yunho said back.

"Well i'm glad I don't have to cook for you all anymore. You're a bunch of savages and you all wanted completely different foods instead of agreeing with which one you all wanted." Seonghwa sighed, taking a look at the menu to see what other delicious foods they could order as well.

"But this is something we all can agree on. Right guys?" San asked. We all nodded in return. Then the lady came back with 9 glasses of Coke and 4 bowls of uncooked meat. She passed each of us a Coke and then placed the bowls in the middle of the table. 

"Enjoy. And your fried chicken will be out shortly." We thanked her and she walked off.

"Right guys, let's raise our glasses." We all grabbed our glass of Coke and raised it up in the air like Hongjoong said.

"To surviving the infection and becoming South Korea's newest heroes!"

"CHEERS!"
