Min Yoongi
I cried out.
It happened so suddenly, so abruptly, so instantaneously that my mind couldn't comprehend much of what was happening.
There all of us had been, in a quiet, abandoned, medicine factory. If it were so abandoned, I asked myself, then why was a hand pressing down on Jimin's shoulder; it's grip so violent that it tore the muscle apart?
Where Jimin's shoulder had been mere moments ago, was nothing other than a bloodied lump of meat.
Before I could help, before I could form a coherent thought, before I could do anything more than gasp out; two more hands were reaching down on his body, tearing him apart. Another glance out the window showed me who those hands belonged to, and I freaked out.
Deciding to help my friend before escaping, I ran towards him and tried to pry away the fingers that tore at him, but I could see it in his eyes that he himself had given up.
His lips were forming words but I couldn't make anything out over the screams of my friends and screeches, moans, groans of the living dead; who were now tearing down the door.
I myself was screaming too, screaming for him to keep living, to fight against the decayed hands, but he only smiled, while a single of blood ran down his lip.
Go, his lips formed. Go.
And then he was gone. Head snatched clean off his shoulders, blood spraying all over me.
And then Jungkook was pulling me away from the headless corpse and I was running out the back door, the rest of us running beside me as we escaped out into the dark night, leaving Jimin's body behind.

I grasped my head in my hands, pulling at my hair is distress. I left him. I couldn't save him. I--
"Y-yoongi..." It was Hoseok. "It's oka--"
"It's not okay Hoseok!" I yelled. "He's dead! He's dead and we left him like that. He was our friend, and now he's g-gone!"
I could feel stares my way. I never freaked out. I never screamed like this. But there's something about seeing one of your closest friends die in front of you, that makes you want to curl up into a little ball and scream.
None of them answered, but Hoseok sat down and looped an arm around my shoulders.
Taehyung was crying, tears sliding past his eyelids, while Seokjin seemed to be hyperventilating. Namjoon kept glancing out the window of the ramshackle hut we had seeked refuge in, and Jungkook just seemed empty. Devoid of emotion.
Finally, Namjoon spoke up.
"We need to figure out a plan." He said, his voice grim. "What we need to do now and where we have to go."
He looked around at all of us. "As much as I hate it, we can't be weak right now. We have to save our tears for later. Our literal lives depend on it."
"You're right." Hoseok seemed determined as well, albeit a little shaky.
"Our best bet is finding out why this is happening." Namjoon continued. "Why it started, and how we can survive."
"We already know how it started." Taehyung said, voice still sore from sobbing. "It was that serum. We saw the test subjects turned in the lab. It's the only explanation."
"Okay, considering that's true, we still don't know if this was accidental or on purpose." He took a deep breath. "That's why we have to go to KAIST."
"What!?" I exclaimed. "You want us to go where it began!?"
"Yes, that's the only way we can find out how this started--"
"Who cares about that!?" I stood up, throwing Hoseok's arm off. "Don't you think it's better if we go away!? We can actually survive then!"
"No, Yoongi." Seokjin spoke up. "He's right."
"No, he's not!" I tried to calm myself. "Think about it; going there would mean more of these zombies and more trouble. Do all of want to die!?"
Silence.
"Yoongi." Hoseok seemed tentative. "Maybe we should."
"You too?" I was hoping at least Hoseok would side with me. "Wow. Unbelievable."
I plopped back down, running a hand through my hair in frustration.
"Well...." Hoseok tried to grin. "Look on the bright side; at least none of us actually took the serum, so as long as we're careful, we'll be okay."
Amen to that, I thought, but my insides churned when he opposed Hoseok's statement. When he stepped away from the wall he had been leaning against and uttered that sentence.
"I took the serum." Jungkook said.
