Heart of the Cure

Chapter Eighteen: Secret

A/N: Almost smut warning? towards the end. I'll go ahead mark it with the (*) once it comes but. . . in my opinion it's not really smut. Anyways, leave a little comment and let me know what you thought ^^

"You've been spending less time with me, I thought I did something wrong or something." Jimin shook his head at Eric's comment. "Nah, I was just super excited about Jungkook's return that I kind of forgot about everyone else." The two were walking towards the watchtowers, keeping watch for the day. They climbed up and situated themselves in the front of the gate.

"Yeah, it's totally understandable, he is your brother after all. I'm sure if I had a brother, I would react the same way." "Now that you mention it, what happened to your family? It's okay if you don't want to talk about it though." Eric shook his head and smiled softly "I uh, I actually don't know my real family.

I was adopted since I was a young boy. I was apparently abandoned at an orphanage in a basket. And ever since this started, I haven't seen my adoptive parents at all. I don't even know if they're even alive." "Wow, I'm so sorry. What age were you when the infection spread?" "I was about seventeen I think? It was quite a long time ago. It wasn't as hard as what you and Jungkook passed through though."

Jimin smiled and shook his head "Everyone has gone through something, whether it seems a lot or not. I'm just glad that Jungkook and I met and are alive and well. That's all that matters." Eric nodded as he turned away from Jimin "Yeah, I'm actually glad I'm alive. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have met you." "You're right, we wouldn't have met anyone. I'm glad too." Jimin replied.

He looked over the gate and noticed the straggled zombies walking by "Do you think we'll end up like them? Or killed by people?" Jimin asked making Eric chuckle loudly. "A little morbid to think about and I'd like to think I wouldn't die but to answer your question, I think I'll end up killed by a person. How do you think you'll go?" "I don't know. I wouldn't want to end up like them so I'd probably shoot myself if I was ever bit but if it was by a person, I'd want to make sure he goes out with me."

Eric lifted both eyebrows and gave an amused smile "Yikes, wouldn't want to be your enemy then." Jimin turned to him and smiled "Good thing you're not." He laughed but then turned when he heard his name being called. "Jiminie!" Taehyung yelled from the bottom. "Do you think you can help me with something?!" Jimin smiled and nodded "Sorry, I gotta go." Jimin said to Eric as he walked down the latter.

Eric stared at Jimin until he was a good distance away. "Ah Jimin, if only." He smirked with a loud exhale "If only you knew what's to come."
