Dawn of the Dead (TWICE)

DOTD #26

Y/n's POV:

I back up until I could feel Jihyo's ass flattened into the wall.

This puking bastard got us cornered, scouring its sharp nails deep into the floors.

It suddenly lunged itself towards us just in time I dodge into my left along with Jihyo still on my back.

The zed leaped so strongly that it slam its face hard into the concrete wall, leaving it stunned and dazed.

I grabbed the opportunity to run away from it. My heavy footsteps and my labor breathing as Jihyo was still on my back. I did my best to maintain balance as Jihyo was slowly slipping off, she tighten her grip on my neck which make me choke a bit, gasping for air. With two heavy weapons I'm carrying, I needed the air I could breath.

Ensuring the distance between the zed and us, I set Jihyo down in corner. I noticed that we were in a some sort of an exhibit, portraying ancient Chinese army with countless statues standing in the way.

I handed Jihyo the spear "stay here, don't make a sound" I said as I stand up but she held my wrist "comeback safe, promise me that" she said looking at me straight in the eyes.

This aren't the eyes I used to see at her, the hatred and all, what took place is the eyes of worry and insecurities.

"I'll be back, I promise" I said as I grabbed the axe went as far as possible from Jihyo, to lure it away far from her, keeping her out of danger.

I hid behind on one of the statues, keeping myself still.

Then the horrific creature came into sight as it emerged from the corner. It started sniffing the air and snarl, going straight to where Jihyo was hiding.

How the hell did it know?

It then hits me that the blood from Jihyo's wrist was still fresh and that spitting zed is stalking straight to her.

With one dumb move, I emerged from the statue and let out a sharp whistle, like calling a dog "Over here boy!!" I called out grabbing its attention as it turned its head and snarled at me, I pound my axe in the wall, creating a sound "that's it boy, come to papa..." I trailed off as I readied to swing the axe into its jaw.

Instead it opens it mouth and a gargling sound came from it.

Shit, that acid goo again

And whats worst is that I'm shirtless, I used my shirt to wrapped it around Jihyo's wrist, now I'm top naked, with only my black jeans left as a protection.

Shit...

Tzuyu's POV:

"What's taking the both of them too long?" Dahyun unnie said from the front seat

"I'm having wild thoughts here" Jeongyeon said earning a smack from Nayeon in the shoulder as I shot her a glare "whoa, easy there Jedi, I'm just kidding"

I can't help it, Y/n being not here makes me anxious, its making me feel those terrible feelings again back at the school, where he almost sacrifice his life for us, but thank the force he made it back alive. And the fact that Jihyo was the reason Y/n was almost killed back then makes my blood boil, and now that she's the reason again that Y/n is now risking his life again for her is absolutely ridiculous. Jihyo hate Y/n and yet Y/n seems oblivious to it. He will do anything even if it means putting his life on the line. That is what I love about him.

Its been almost 10 minutes and they're still not here, the rain is now pouring hard outside and the windows are now nothing but droplets of rain, making it hard for us to see whats outside.

I'm starting to think about what Jeongyeon said earlier. I shook my head at the thought. I grabbed my crossbow and headed out

"Tzuyu, where do you think your going?" Dahyun ask

"I'm going back inside the museum, see what's taking them too long" I said as Miggy raised from his seat.

"I'm coming too"

"Be safe" Dahyun said and I nodded. Me and Miggy head out the bus, greeted by heavy droplets of rain that feels like sharp nails hitting our skin.

We arrived at the door and went inside

Y/n's POV:

I looked over to my left arm, and it sting as f*ck. A little droplet of goo made it to my skin, and it burns, like a hot cooking oil used in frying a fish.

I barely gotten closed to it as it always sprays it green liquid at me.

Then I heard the door close.

"Y/n?" I heard Miggy and Tzuyu's voice as the creature acknowledges the presence of the two. I quickly ran to them with the creature following pursuit, thank goodness the floors are shine fine wood, making the crawler stumble due to its slippery, and its sharp nails aren't helping.

"Y/n?" Tzuyu asked giving me a weird look as I was panting heavily at them, catching my breath.

"Dude, you should have just said the word that you needed some privacy, not put us all inside the freaking bus" Miggy teasingly said

"What?" I said in between breaths

"Oh don't act innocent now, we now know you and Jihyo had a thing" he said winking at me

I knew that it was because I was shirtless and half naked, I was about to smack him in the head when we heard a shriek.

"W-what was that?" Tzuyu said as she loaded her crossbow with an arrow.

"That... is what" I said and the said creature emerged from the corner. It shriek at us.

We instantly run upstairs and hide inside a big room and locked the door, we went behind the glass antiques for cover as the door was going wild. The zed wanted to break inside.

"S-seriously Y/n, what the effin F was that?" Miggy said breathing heavily

"I honestly don't know too, I don't even know how that thing got inside" I said as I was struggling to think straight

"What about Jihyo? Where is she? Is she okay?" Tzuyu asked and I nodded

"She's downstairs, she's injured, but she's safe" I said as the door keeps on pounding wildly.

"W-what now? What are we gonna do?" The two asked looking at me for an answer.

I looked around and saw a tarpaulin hanging above.

"I got a plan"
