Apocalypse

Part 2

I woke up after a while, only to find myself with a warm towel on my forehead. It smelled like mint. It made me smile slightly and finally open my eyes. When I turned around, I saw the guy with the blue hair again.

-Hey, -I called him and he immediately came to the bed, sitting down next to me.

-How do you feel? You need to eat something, you look pale, -I couldn't let him go so I grabbed his hand, catching his surprised facial expression.

-Who are you and what am I doing here?, -I tried to sound strong but the words came out weakly, -where is my family?

He was staring at his hand in mine and was about to caress it with his thumb. I pulled away. What does he think he is doing?

-I thought you were dead...

His words caught me off the guard. Why did he seem worried? Have we met before? Why does he care about me? Or maybe he's just pretending and he's an evil himself? One thought rushed to another.

I looked into his eyes with a steely stare. Well, with what I could. I was always a kind and good girl. But the Apocalypse made me cautious and tough. All for the sake of survival.

-You either tell me everything or I will fucking kill you!, -I stood up from the bed and grabbed the vase.

-Shh, relax. I will do as you wish, just please..., -he paused with puppy eyes and continued, -eat what I brought you first.

This guy must be kidding me. What games is he playing in? Though, I am starving. Having no idea how many hours I haven't eaten, I nod and take the tray. He lets out a sigh of relief and his lips break into a smile.

Not gonna lie. He seemed handsome. While I was looking like a trash, in my dirty clothes and messy hair, he wore all black and his hair was done perfectly well. I couldn't help but stare at his plump lips. Damn it, what am I thinking about? Forget it, Y/N. He might seem a good boy but not actually be him.

-Now, are you going to answer my questions, blue boy?, -I scoffed after finishing the plate with food.

He left a chuckle and face palmed himself.

-A blue boy, really, Y/N?

My little smile immediately disappeared when I heard him calling my name. How did he know it? Was I mumbling something in my sleep? My thinking process was disturbed by his sudden:

-Don't worry, I am not a stalker or something, I've read your name when took your gun.

Pfew, at least one rational question from him.

-So, -he started adjusting next to me, getting ready to finally open up about everything, -I am Yeonjun, and this is my place.

I looked at him and somehow I felt at ease. I was finally getting my answers and his voice also calmed me down. He ran a hand through his hair and continued:

-I was almost at the store when I heard screams. When I got there, I saw no one, -he paused, lowering his head, -except you, Y/N.

I instantly covered my mouth as I was ready to scream with my full lungs. I felt agonized. What did he mean he saw no one? Those men took my family? I tried to stay calm, but my breathing became ragged and I couldn't see well because my eyes were swaddled in tears. One by one they fell heavily down.

I got up quickly and felt a surge of rage in my body. I was terrified and seemed that I lost control.

-Where is my gun and knife, Yeonjun? Where is it?, -I screamed at him wiping away my salty tears. Sniffing I looked around the room for my weapon.

-Where is it? Tell me now! I have to find my relatives!, -I burst in tears cupping my face and collapsing on the floor.

A second later, I felt spontaneous and warm hug.. His arms wrapped around me and I buried my face in his neck, hugging him with all the strength I had. For a moment the feeling of being protected enveloped my body. His embrace was strong yet soft. I could smell his faint but intoxicating mint scent. The same as the towel he put on my head while I was sleeping.

I pulled back slightly to look into his eyes. I didn't say a word, just continued staring at him while quietly sobbing. He hesitated but brought a hand to my face and wiped the last tears which were slightly rolling down.

-Y/N, you can't go now. You are still weak.

-Yeonjun, -I mumbled still piercing his soul with my gaze, -where are my stuff, huh?, -I moved closer leaning to his face.

I knew exactly what I was doing and I wanted it more than anything. He widened his sparkly brown eyes and gulped. I put his hand in mine and stood up. Yeonjun followed my lead still processing the situation. Pulling him on the bed, I hovered above.

-W-what are you doing?, -I heard him saying.

-You will love it, trust me, -I reassured him, touching his cheek.

His heart started beating like crazy by my touch and I knew this was it.

-I am sorry, and thank you for taking care of me, - grabbing the tray I slammed it on his head and ran to search for my weapon.

I knew it couldn't kill him but it would buy me time to escape.

-I want to find my family more than anything, Yeonjun. Farewell.

I glanced at his unconscious but live body and left the house.
