A Zombie's Heart

Chapter 30

The door opens late that night. Yoongi, Abbi, and Taehyung walk in. I'm half asleep so I don't move.

 Abbi starts jumping on the bed. "Wake up Celeste! We're back! Wake up!" She sits on the end of the bed and I groan. 

"I was almost asleep Abbi!" I push her off the bed and she falls to the floor with a loud thud.

 "Oh wow. Rude." She laughs and stands up. "Hey, me and Yoongi are getting a late night snack. Do you and Taehyung wanna join?" 

I sit up and yawn. "Sure, why not."

 Taehyung takes my hand the four of us leave the hotel. We walk down to a small shop with food, supplies, and medicines. I sit at a table outside along with Yoongi and Taehyung. 

"How are you feeling, Celeste? Have you been in any pain?" asks Yoongi.

 "Not really. The pain killers help a lot." 

Abbi walks out of the shop holding a bunch of food and drinks, then sets all of it down on the table. "Alright. This was some of the stuff I found that wasn't expired or covered in blood. Someone was killed in there by the way." she says as she opens a bag of chips. We all eat except for Taehyung who looks sad. 

"I'll be back." he says as he gets up. He walks down the street slowly. 

"Is he okay?" I ask.

 Yoongi answers. "He's been thinking a lot about his family lately. His parents, his brother, and his sister."

 I look at Yoongi who's watching Taehyung. "I've never heard him talk about them. Do you know what happened?" 

He nods slowly. "It's a hard thing for him to talk about. He was very close to them. He was with me and the other guys and when he got to his house, the police were there and they wouldn't let him in. His family was infected by some zombies. They were one of the first."

*FLASHBACK, TAEHYUNG P.O.V*

"Okay, I'm leaving! I'll be back this evening! Love you!" I yell to my family as I walk out the door. 

Jin's truck is here with everyone inside it. I run down the driveway and hop into the truck. Everyone is in a good mood today, smiling, laughing. We get to a restaurant shortly and take a seat at one of the back tables. We order our food and it comes a little while later.

 Namjoon takes a bite. "Hey, did you hear about the zombie drug breakout? It's all over the news and I think it's a round here." 

Hoseok's eyes widen and he looks at Namjoon. "Are you serious? Zombie drug? What does it do?" he asks worriedly. 

"It takes control over the consumer. It basically turns them into an actual zombie. Only a little less...simple-minded. I also heard if you get bitten or scratched by one, you'll be infected too. You don't even have to take the drug." 

"Do they go after brains?" I ask. 

"If they do, they you don't have anything to worry about, Taehyung." Yoongi replies. Everyone laughs. 

"I think they just go for flesh. Not brains." says Jungkook. Hoseok take a a deep breath and leans back against the wall. 

"Don't worry Hoseok. They aren't going to get us. Besides, I'm too handsome the zombies will spare my life." Says Jin. 

Jimin starts laughing and almost chokes on his food. We all burst into a fit of laughter. After we finish eating we spend the rest of the day running through parks and shopping. We drive down the road leading to my house talkin and laughing.
