HIDEOUT: LEE TAEYONG

soyoung

it has almost been an hour after the battle at the field, sicheng took jaehyun to his room and he hasn't come out yet to at least inform us about him. i'm worried, so fucking worried. i don't even know who jaehyun is, we haven't known each other for a long time but he still deserves to live because all i know is he's been so kind-hearted to me since day one.

"don't worry soyoung, he'll be alright." jungwoo sat beside me.

i knew jungwoo was just trying to cheer me up, i was positive he didn't know if he'll actually be alright but i appreciate his support.

yuta joined, sitting beside me but on the other side. "if it didn't work, he'd still be bitten and... yeah we all know the consequences." he explained which caused me to slowly nod my head with no energy at all.

i could feel donghyuck's glare, i didn't dare to look back because i might just explode in fear and fury.

but when dahye and somin were giving me those grimace look, i wanted to punch them because they really had the audacity to do so. dahye did nothing but stand by the entrance door, and somin is the reason why jaehyun got bit so why is she looking at me like that when clearly she killed jaehyun.

"where's mark?" i asked, looking around the empty classroom. i could still see the blood stain on the floor from jaehyun's hand, gosh it was gruesome.

"oh... he's suppose to help kill the remaining walkers with doyoung and taeyong, but... he's in his room crying because he's so worried about jaehyun." jungwoo's words devoured my heart, mark is so precious and i wish i could tell him that he will exactly be fine and alive but i knew i couldn't. i slowly turned around and looked out of the window, spotting doyoung and taeyong defeating the walkers that entered after i closed the gates.

"i'm gonna go for a fresh air." i announced as they nodded their head, once i jumped off the table, taeil immediately sat on my seat as the three of them began to talk.

as i exited the classroom, i let out the breath i didn't know i was holding in since the glares i received in that room was too severe for me.

i began to walk through the hallway, seeing jaehyun's room that he shared with doyoung... i desperately wanted to go in and question how he was doing, but maybe i will invade his privacy and ruin the atmosphere.

shaking off the thought, i saw johnny walking down the stairs while ruffling his wet black hair. i always wanted to ask him how he could always look so neat during this apocalypse. "johnny, where have you been?" i questioned and stopped my tracks after i stood forward him.

"you wanna know?" he queried while smirking, continuously tousling his hair as i gave him a serious face to gesture that i wasn't in a mood for any of his making the conversation longer because i was too impatient for it. "fine fine, i went to take shower."

"what?! you can shower in this school? i thought the water wasn't working?!" once i screamed out of shock, johnny briskly placed his palm on top of my lips to hush me. "hey~ be quiet that's a secret between you and me, apparently the shower in p.e. changing rooms still works." he let go once i stepped back.

"do the others still use it?" i asked and earned a no from him. "i haven't told them, this is my secret of being the neatest and cleanest in the hideout... i can attract more girls~" he cocked an eyebrow as i huffed.

"there's only 3 girls in this hideout, and would you really rather keep this as a secret or make out with some dirty stinky girl?" i paused and pointed at me. "for example me, or even worse somin."

"ugh, fine i'll go tell the others." he said as i excitedly began to run upstairs, but johnny had stopped me. "oh and by the way, the showers only work in the boys changing room and there are plenty towels- ooh and you know i can just join you there so it would be easy for you to-"

"no johnny, i'm fine." i gave him a sarcastic smile as he winked at me. "okay, go on then."
