Knees shaking and stomach grumbling, Hoseok drags himself towards a nearby gasoline station. He can hear zombies growling ahead but it didn't bother him, all he could think of is getting rid of the gnawing pain of hunger he feels in his stomach.

"H-Help.." He tries to call out but no voice left his mouth, only a vibration in his throat. He took a dry swallow before trying once again.

"Help.." This time, a desperate moan escaped his lips. He smiled for a bit. It has been days since he lost his voice from his outcries and screams. Now that it came back, he's glad he'll be able to call for help once again. He was somehow proud of himself.

However, a loud screech of tires was heard from a distance. It did not only interrupt him and his thoughts, but it also called the attention of the zombies nearby.

He gasped with his whole heart, immediately absorbing what's coming for him. No, it wasn't the approaching zombies — it was because finally, he's seeing a moving car!

"H-Help!" He breaks out a shout eagerly, waving his arms frantically in the air. "I'm here!"

The vehicle haphazardly parked as they noticed the frenzied man, opening the doors immediately upon pulling the breaks.

Hoseok beamed his biggest smile as he saw a man hopping off the car and approach him.

However, his smile immediately turned into a painful wince as he felt a strong punch on his abdomen. He stares at his shaky palms coated with blood he just coughed as his vision slowly turns blurry.

"W.. Why?" All he could ever speak before everything went black.

"Huh.."

Hoseok finally gained his consciousness but as he softly flutters his eyes open, he was only welcomed by the pitch darkness and the vibrations of the engine. He was certain he is in a moving vehicle, but where is he exactly?

He tried to squirm but the space was too tight, he could barely move. His skin could only feel the hot carpet and the cold metal that squishes him to a corner.

Did they put him inside the trunk?

Upon realizing his state, his pupils immediately dilated.

"H-Help!" He started panicking, slamming his palms frantically at the roof of the trunk. "I'm inside here—" But before he could scream his throat dry once again, he heard a voice just beside him.

"Don't eat up all the air, we'll suffocate.."

He halted with his eyes wide open, his chest heaves up and down. "W-Who's there?"

The owner of the voice paused for a moment before squirming lightly on his place as if he's reaching for something. He then softly jabs something on Hoseok's abdomen. "Eat."

Upon hearing the word, Hoseok gasps and quickly went for it. It was a piece of bread. Delightful, he yanked it with his might and shove it into his mouth, beads of tears start rolling down his cheek.
