UN HAENG IL CHI: Seventeen Post-Apocalyptic

Chapter II

Jun's smile faded. Slice's smile turned into a big grin.

Jun's body slammed onto the cage floor. Slice's body leaned back against the cage fence.

"Move—" Dino said, fighting his way into the cage the moment Jun's body gave up, The8 followed him behind.

"I can't believe this damn it how can you be so—" The8 turned Jun's body so that he's lying on his back, then started to hit him in hope that he'll wake up. Dino tried his best to stop the blood seeping through Jun's shirt.

"Well, believe it, I finally defeated—" Slice stood up above smiling at his opponent. However, the smile didn't last very long.

"Hyung, what's happening to him.." Dino looked up at The8. Both of them took their hands of Jun's body, which oddly turned ice cold.

"What the hell.." The8 stood up. The crowd right outside the cage fence gasped, as the ones behind tried their best to see what's going on inside the cage.

Jun's body turned pale. His lips were colorless, as he bites them hard until blood started to show. His whole body was shaking non stop, but nobody knew what to do to help him.

"What did you do?" Dino slammed Slice against the cage fence, with his hands around Slice's neck.

"What? I didn't do anything.." Slice smiled ambigously. His eyes turned to the dagger his used against Jun.

Dino saw Slice's glance, and picked up the dagger. Just as he expected. An ordinary dagger won't kill Jun this easy.

Poison.

Dino was about to attack Slice, however he stopped because of Jun's scream. Jun's body trying its best to fight the poison. The8 ripped Jun's shirt, as he noticed he was gasping for air and was yanking his shirt trying to take it off.

His pale, cold body was covered in purple veins. Blood was covering his hands in result of clenching his fist too hard. After a few seconds, his breath became stable. He opened his eyes, but he abandoned his natural obsidian black iris and turned to a shocking bright violet. He stood up, grabbed Slice's dagger off of Dino's hand and threw it right to Slice's neck, killing him. "That's— impossible—" was his last words.

"Dude, what the hell—" The8 looked at him confused and scared at the same time.

"Come on, let's get out of here." Jun grabbed The8 and Dino by the arm, and started walking towards the door, trembling weakly, barely opening his eyes.

"Wen Junhui.." A voice in the crowd said. Their eyes widened, pulling their hoods even further down their noses. Startled, of course, but they can't take any risk to make even more commotion. No one from the Outside knows who they are and their names. It's impossible. "How—" Dino muttered quietly while walking through the crowd. "Shut up. Don't show your face. Look down. Walk faster, come on we have to get out of this place." The8 slapped his head. How did that person knew Jun's name? Both of them looked at each other in confusion and panic. They both know how dangerous it is if their identities are exposed. But it's impossible, since they were practically born inside Gangnam, and have spent all their lives inside. No one goes out, and no one goes in. The two of them continued walking, supporting the half awake Jun with all their might. In curiosity, Dino looked back and tried to find who the voice belonged to. His eyes trailed and searched in panic, as his eyes stopped at someone who looked suspicious. A man, wearing a mask that only revealed his piercing eyes, looking straight into them. Not even once the man looked away, somehow it felt like he didn't care if they knew he was staring, nor if they knew he was the one that yelled out Jun's full name. "Could you please focus!? We'll be as half dead as him if we don't make it in time." The8 yelled at Dino.
