Meant To Be, Or Not? - [YEONGYU FF]

Chapter 21

🎶: 'Dusk till Dawn (ft. Sia)' by ZAYN

Panic broke out in everyone's faces when they heard someone scream 'FIRE'. The incoming freshmen started screaming, scared for their lives.

Beomgyu appeared calm on the outside, but internally, he was also starting to panic.

This was a fire they were talking about after all.

He was trying to quickly remember all of the emergency exits, and where each of them lead. It was there when he remembered that there was one downstairs, but he was unsure whether it was safe to get there.

It never hurts to try.

"EVERYONE, STOP PANICKING!" Beomgyu yelled.

That caught everyone in his group's attention.

"WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN THE STAIRS, AND PASS THROUGH THE EMERGENCY EXIT DOWNSTAIRS! COVER YOUR NOSES WITH YOUR SHIRTS AND STAY CALM AS YOU GO OUT!"

How did I even remember that last part?

Everyone did what Beomgyu instructed them to do. Beomgyu himself took his jacket off and held it in front of his nose and his mouth.

It may not completely block the smoke, but it's better than nothing.

Beomgyu started walking to the staircase, and he glanced up just in time to see the orange yellow flames dancing above them.

They had to hurry.

"COME ON!" he yelled.

"But the fire is above us!" a girl exclaimed.

"WE'RE GOING DOWN AND IF WE DON'T WANNA BE TOAST, WE GOTTA HURRY UP!"

Beomgyu hurriedly descended down the stairs, his group following him as fast as their feet could carry them, before the flames could reach them.

As the red haired guide went down with his group, his only two thoughts were these.

How did this fire even happen, especially today on all days?

And...

Is everyone I care about here safe?

Beomgyu and his group were now down on the first floor, where the alarms were blaring like god knows what.

"Where do we go now?!" another boy exclaimed.

"Look for the emergency exit!"

"Over there!"

Another person pointed at a sign close by, with the neon letters reading 'EXIT'.

"Perfect, thank you!"

Beomgyu guided all of the incomers through the door, and outside onto the university campus.

He signaled all of them to walk out of the gate, and then he looked back at the university.

A good portion of the building was set on fire; from what he knew of the building, they seemed to be coming from where the computer rooms were.

This is gonna cause a lot of trouble.

"Gyu!"

The red haired man turned around to see Zhanghao and Hanbin approach him, both of them slightly covered in smoke.

"Guys!"

"Oh god you came out on time of the building where it started; we got so worried!" Zhanghao exclaimed, hugging the equally tall man before him.
