The Plague (Nct & Male Reader)

03.

Jaemin's P.O.V:
     Walking down the halls that are dressed in black and white tiles that are checkered board, the whole atmosphere of the building sends chills down our spines as it looked like something out of a horror movie set. I could tell that none of us wanted to be here and that it would be the last place we wanted to be but unfortunately it was my fault that were here, my doing, there's no going back now.

     We stopped when Haechan stopped and looked up, the small sign on the old wooden door saying "school's office". They all turned to look at me, making me confused but suddenly realized that I was the only one with the paper from our school.

     Hesitantly walking up to the door while checking the paper in my hand as I do, I thought to myself that this is it, this is what my actions have lead us. Taking in a deep breath, I slowly opened the door which led out a horrible tired old groan as the hinges protest.

     There revealed a woman who looked to be in her 40's, her hair was tied up in a short ponytail and she wore a blouse and short skirt which looked like it was about to explode due to her chubby-ness. Her nails were a bright red and she was smoking on a cigarette, the school here is different from the ones in the city right off the bat.

"Uhm excuse me...": I managed to whisper out but she seemed to hear me as she gave us a deadly glare.

"What do you want and make it quick.": she asked, making us gulp in fear.

"W-were the exchange students from (school's name).": I told her.

"Ohhh city boys aye, you all don't seem as "godly" as they say. Give me your names so I can check which sections you're in.": she told us and we began to say our names one by one starting from Renjun.

She lifted her brow and looked at each one of us for a moment before taking a file in the desk drawer to check.

"The six of you are in class C7 and your dorms are in block B.": she said and handed me a paper of what seemed like the map of the school.

"T-thank you.": I shuttered and bowed my head slightly.

"Becareful out there little beans, don't want to get a bullet through your head!": she laughed as we left the room.

3rd Person P.O.V:
     When they closed the door, the five of them began to follow the pink haired boy as he opened the map to lead them to their dorms to prepare for class tomorrow. Jaemin who held the map was at the front while Jeno was helping Renjun to walk properly and Jisung was holding onto Chenle's hand tightly, leaving the tanned male to trail behind.

     He was busy with his own thoughts when a few grunts snapped him out of his thoughts. Abruptly stopping in his tracks, he curiously looked towards the direction of the sounds and immediately regretted it. There were three boys with different coloured hair getting beat up by a tall boy with dark jet black hair. He seemed to have a busted lip and a few bruises on his arm that was evident as he was wearing a sleeveless shirt that revealed his strong biceps.

     He kicked the last conscious boy in the stomach before stopping and turned his head, looking at him. The cold glare was enough to make him tremble in fear. The male then started to slowly walk towards him but he couldn't move until Chenle called him, snapping him out of his daze. He turned around and sprinted away back to his group of friends before the male could catch him.

     When he was finally behind his two youngest friends, he hesitantly looked back but the male was gone. Images of the boy was stuck in his head but he soon shrugged it off when they finally reached their dorms.

     Walking in, they immediately fanned their noses from the dusts. Looking around the small place, there were bunk beds of cheap stripped pine with their rough canvas mattresses that were jammed from one end to the other of the long, drafty room.

     At the other end of the central aisle was a light shone dimly through the grimly mullioned window onto the grey bedding and the grey dusty floor. Haechan thought that if he had to use a color to describe the place, it would definitely be grey.

"Lets look at the bright side guys, at least we don't have to sleep on lumpy mattresses right?": Jaemin said with a smile, trying to cheer us up.

"There's no electricity...": Renjun said while flicking the switch.

"The notice says that electricity at the dormitory will be available after 7 pm.": Jeno said after reading the paper that was placed on the dusty study table.

"At least we still have a kitchen!": Jaemin said and pointed at the small extension of a room which had a small stove and short refrigerator.

"Lets just face it, this place sucks...": Jisung said while placing the luggage on the bed.

After that, everyone just went quiet and unpacked their things until Jaemin broke the silence again.

"Anyone hungry? I can cook some ramen!": he said while pulling out a few packets.

They all smiled and nodded, thanking him before he went into the kitchen. Sitting down on the bed, Jeno was the first one to take out his phone after being too caught up in the mess back at the town. Without even needing to ask him but just by looking at his facial expression, they could tell that it wasn't anything good but aren't surprised.

"Really? No signal?": he said in anger.

"Are you serious right now?!": Chenle asked and looked at his phone.

"How in the world are we gonna survive a week without signal?! We could be kidnapped and nobody would even know about it!": he exclaimed.

"Let's all calm down for a bit okay? We're gonna figure something out.": Jaemin said as he handed each a bowl.

     After that, they just stayed silent and enjoyed their bowl of ramen while sitting on their individual bunk beds cause their dormitory didnt have a dining table, only a small study table that was shoved at a corner.

"So what are we gonna do now? I already feel boredom kicking in.": Jeno asked, breaking the silence.

"How about telling ghost stories that will keep you up at night?": Renjun suggested while smirking mischeviously.

"No Renjun, this place is already creepy enough and we still have school tomorrow.": Haechan said.

"Scared much?": Renjun asked.

"Ya think?": Haechan retorted while crossing his arms.

"Well since I can't control the wifi, how about we all make some conversation? To pass the time.": Jaemin suggested and they all agreed.

     The five then began talking about random things like their childhood memories and weird habits. Despite Chenle and Jisung's quarrel every so often, it wasn't loud enough to get to the tanned male's ears as his mind was filled with the images of the attractive male he saw earlier.

     It wasn't like he wanted to meet the male again, if so, he wish he wasn't going to. Who knows what will happen if he meets him again after witnessing the fight he had with those boys. 

"We should get to bed now, school starts at 7.": Jaemin said and they all went back to their beds.

"Ah shit.": Renjun suddenly cursed.

"What's wrong?": Haechan asked.

"I forgot to bring an extra bottle of my meds.": he said.

"We'll head to town and find a pharmacy tomorrow.": he said before laying down.

"Okay. Thanks.": the chinese male thanked him before going to sleep.
