shownu's point of view

Vomit.

There's vomit everywhere.

Wonho is throwing up in the tub, Santana in the toilet and Changkyun in the sink. Hyungwon is on the brink of passing out and Kihyun's fever is getting ridiculous.

Jay is throwing up in the bathroom downstairs while Lee and Taeyun are spread across the living-room barely breathing.

What the hell is going on?

Are they all patient zero? The start of a zombie apocalypse.

Santana's eyes are red and her body is burning up, she can barely walk by herself. I sent everyone who is healthy away to grab some much needed supplies.

Changkyun: My insides hurt.

I run the younger boy's back as he hurls up his lungs. Wonho rests his forehead against the cold tile wall.

It smells awful in here but I love them so I won't leave them.

The vomiting calms down and we get all the zombies in the same space. Minhyuk, Jooheon, Anthony, RJ and I stand there with sanitary masks wrapped around our faces.

Anthony: What is happening?
RJ: Natural selection.

Anthony glares at the younger boy before sighing. Everyone has the same symptoms: fever, sore throat, nausea, chills, body pains..

Sounds like a common case of the flu however, the flu doesn't spread this fast. It has to be something else.

Me: Besides symptoms what do they all have in common? Like what did they all do the same?

We think.

And then it clicks.

Me: The food.
Jooheon: What food?
Me: Taeyun cooked his secret recipe last night remember? They all ate it except us. You and Minhyuk went to sleep early, Anthony and RJ were out at the bar and me, well, I just don't trust his cooking.

Food poisoning they all have food poisoning. Santana weakly pops Taeyun in his forehead.

Santana: You poisoned us.
Taeyun: On accident!
Changkyun: I'm going to kill you if this sickness doesn't kill us first.
Hyungwon: Let the record show that I wanted to have vacation in Korea.

We all roll our eyes.

Kihyun: Accidents in Hawaii, food poisoning in California? What next?
Santana: I wanted to ride up to Vegas for a little while but thanks to Taeyun it hurts to do anything.
Taeyun: We just might get murdered if we do or go anywhere else.

True, this vacation hasn't been the best but it's been eye opening.

Kind of.

santana's point of view

Yeosang has always been stubborn, I told him a million times I was feeling better but he insisted coming to check on me anyways.

Yeosang: Your fever is still kind of high.
Me: I thought Cina was the doctor, not you.

He rolls his eyes playfully.

Yeosang: Yes, a doctor who hates hospitals.
Me: Seonghwa is a CEO who hates people.

We both chuckle.

Me: I miss them so much. How are they?
Yeosang: Good, they miss you too.
Me: How's Saelee?
Yeosang: She's doing pretty well too. She's touring at the moment.
Me: Ah, backup dancer right?
Yeosang: Yeah for some group named Ateez.
Me: I've seen, those guys are super talented.

He nods.

Yeosang: My favorite is Yeosang.
Me: Of course, the one who shares the same name as you.

He grins.

Jooheon walks in with a cup full of green slimy stuff. He hands it to me and I eye him skeptically.

Jooheon: Drink.

Is he fucking crazy?

Me: What is this?
Jooheon: Taeyun's grandmother had a natural remedy for food poisoning.

He's crazy.

Yeosang: Isn't that the one you said gave you poisoning in the first place?
Me: They're trying to kill me take me back home with you.

He laughs.

Jooheon: Sannie just drink.

I'm about to go full brat mode if he thinks I'm drinking this.

Me: Did the others have it yet?
Jooheon: No.
Me: Why not?
Jooheon: They agreed to let you taste it first.

Fuck my life.
