Chan's hand gripped his just the slight bit tighter, as they stared out at the passing mutant. Scraps of cloth hung between the scales, stained brown with blood, and it's claws and hand things were covered in the blood of Jeongin's family.

The boy whimpered, covering his eyes and pressing closer to Chan. Memories of his father screaming as whatever it was affected him, and turned him feral. Memories of hiding in a closet as his hyung and mother were mauled...

Chan's arm wrapped around him, as he stared at the passing creature. Chan wasn't like Jeongin. He was brave, strong, fearless. Everything that Jeongin wasn't.

The pair stood like that, frozen for five minutes as they watched the mutated man prowl around, like the beast he'd became. Jeongin hiding behind Chan and trying not to panic.

Only once Chan was sure that the monster was gone, he linked his fingers with Jeongin's dragging the younger out of their hiding place and into the building they were aiming for.

"Hyung... I'm scared." He whispered, as Chan tucked them into the building, placing his bag on the ground. The elder hummed, pulling the younger back over.

"You're being brave, Jeonginnie, I promise." Jeongin didn't believe him, but he nodded numbly anyway. His fingers wrapped around the hem of his shirt as he let himself sit down.

Chan sighed, sitting next to him and linking his fingers together with a slight frown.

"We'll get through this, Innie. Dunno when, but we will." Jeongin glanced up at him, before smiling.

"Yea, we will."
