Dead Land: A Zombie Apocalyptic Fiction(JeongTae SS)

Chapter 12

Chapter 11

"Wake up, it is time; we have arrived".

I heard a muffled voice speaking to me. Is that referring to me? Is that voice talking to me? I slowly opened my tired eyes to see where the voice was coming from. 

Taehyung's picture-perfect face appeared before my eyes, eliciting a pleasant feeling in my heart. Isn't he stunningly attractive? He certainly is. But, but... Something is wrong; why is he looking at me with concern? Is he worried about me? Why, though? 

In this beautiful world, I am happy, content, and completely okay.

Beautiful? Beautiful? 

I sat up straight from my disoriented state and looked left and right. I am in the van with everyone else. 

Jimin is driving, Yeontan is sitting in the passenger seat, Taehyung is in the middle seat between me and Dahyun, and Jungkook, Namjoon, and Yoongi are crammed in the back. Slowly, everything becomes clear to me.

We escaped the "mini" plunderers, and I killed their leader, so now we are on the run. Where? I honestly do not know. 

"We might need to find a place to stay because it is going to be night." Jimin spoke. 

It is getting dark now, and we can not keep driving, especially at night. Who knows what the night holds for us. So it is best to find somewhere to stay.

But where exactly? Where could we possibly find a safe place to stay?

I looked out and discovered that it was surrounded by large buildings on both sides. It confirms that we are still in Seoul. 

I looked behind me to see the troublemakers, who were sleeping peacefully. I let out a long, deep breath. Dahyun is sleeping soundly, leaning on Taehyung's shoulder. She appears extremely pale now. The entire ordeal may have exhausted her.

Looking at her condition, I frowned; what if something bad happened to her before she received help? That thought made me feel terrible. 

I felt a squeeze in my hand and jerked my head to look at it. My hand is still attached to Taehyung's. What the heck? I jerked my hands away from his and could feel him staring at me, probably thinking I was ungrateful. 

I cleared my throat and mumbled "Thank you" to him. 

"Sorry, come again," Taehyung replied instantly. Why on earth is he whispering? 

I looked at his eyes, which were looking back at me. I could not help but look down at his luscious lips. Is that my imagination, or is he breathing heavily? My cheeks began to burn, and I bit my lips. I also noticed that I was panting heavily. What is this crazy sensation I am experiencing? 

The van came to a halt unexpectedly, forcing me to exit from the strange situation. I wished the earth would tear apart and bury me in it. This is extremely embarrassing. 

I avoided looking at him and focused my attention outside. It is a narrow street with buildings on both sides. I took a closer look and realised it was not a new place for me; it was Hongdae. There was no evidence of human presence or infection. 

"Taehyung, let us check if this place is safe." Jimin carefully opened the van and waited for Taehyung to emerge. 

I turned to look at him, and he was deep in thought. I took a close look at him; he appeared to be very attractive. I gulped down my thoughts before kicking him with my elbow.

His eyes widened as he looked at me, which I thought was funny. I gestured to Jimin, and he understood before carefully detaching himself from Dahyun to leave. This time, instead of following the guys, I chose to sit inside the van and organize my thoughts and the overall situation.
