Never Go

Never Go Part 3

End of flashback

You ran out of the room you stayed in and went to the nearest door. You barged into Minho's room. He was already packing his stuff and holding a gun.

"What's happening?" You asked. He looked at you.

"They found us, we need to leave as soon as possible. Pack your stuff. Let's go!" He said to you as you ran back to your room to pack your stuff. You heard someone at the door, so you walked towards it, but stopped when a hand broke a hole through the wood. The hand wasn't human. It was disgusting. You screamed as the hand reached for the door knob. You ran to the far back of the room, and hoped that someone was still outside and heard your scream. You hugged your bag of stuff and started praying for help. A moment later, you heard gunshots and the door fell down. You looked up to see Minho and Changbin at the door.

"There you are!" Minho said as they ran to you.

"Did they hurt you?" Changbin asked. You shook your head. You got up and started walking to an exit. Minho walked in front of you, and Changbin walked behind you. You guys quietly got out of the house. The others were already in the car.

"Y/n, you scared us half to death are you okay?" Seungmin asked when you got in the car.

"I'm okay, I'm sorry," You said.

"No need to be sorry, as long as you're okay," Seungmin said, hugging onto you.

"Okay guys we got a problem," Chan said when he started driving. He pointed at the gas meter. It was near empty.

"We have to go back to the gas station now..." Hyunjin said as he sighed.

"Why? What happened?" You asked.

"We almost died last time when going there," Hyunjin said.

"Well we don't have any other choice right? Let's go," Minho said, taking his gun out already.

"Y/n, what weapons have you used before?" Han asked, taking out his gun.

"I....i've used a baseball bat?" You said. He dug around in the back trunk and shoved a baseball bat in your hand.

"If something gets too close to you, use it," Han said. You nodded and held on tight to the bat. As you guys drove to the gas station, it was near silent. The only sound you could hear was the sound of the car's engine. You saw the gas station in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. No monsters in sight. You guys parked beside the fuel tank and Chan got out of the car. Some of you guys got out to salvage everything they could find, and the others stayed in the car with their snipers and guns ready. You guys were almost done, when you heard a scream.

"They're coming," you whispered to Felix, who was beside you. He nodded.

"Get ready," he said to Jeongin, Minho and Hyunjin. Hyunjin knocked on the window, signaling to the outside team to hurry up. Chan finished filling the car with gas, and got in. Changbin, Han, and Seungmin returned with a couple bags of supplies. As you all sat down and buckled your seatbelts, you heard a gunshot. You turned to see Felix faced towards the window with his arm extended. Your eyes widened. There was a whole hoard of Zombies.

"We're gonna have to go through them." Chan said. "Get ready."

"Y/n, stay in the middle," Seungmin said as he loaded his gun and faced the window. You sat as comfortable as you could, and held on. Taking a deep breath, you closed your eyes.

"I'm ready...let's go," you said. You heard the engine start. The car started moving. You covered your ears while the group went through the hoard. Many shots were shot, and you guys made it through.

"We're here," Chan said a couple minutes later. You guys had arrived at another abandoned house.

"Let's take a break. Anyone hurt?" Chan asked. Silence. "Okay! We good."

That night you tried sleeping, but thoughts were keeping you awake. You decided to go walk around the house. Walking around, you stumbled across a room with a giant window. The view from it was beautiful. It showed the lake beside the house. The moon was bright and high in the sky. The reflection of it was shown on the lake. The stars were small, yet so detailed. You sat there and looked out. You didn't notice someone walking into the room until he spoke up.

"Y/n? What are you doing up so late?"

You turned to see Chan.

"Oh hey....I couldn't sleep," you said. He sat down beside you.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" He said. You looked at him. He was looking outside.

"Yeah...it's been so long since I've seen something this beautiful." You said. After a couple minutes of silence, you finally spoke up.

"How do you cope without your siblings?" You asked. A small smile formed on his face.

"Honestly....I can't. I miss them like hell, but nothing I do can bring them back. I just wished I could've spent more time with them before all this happened." Then he looked at you. "You know, you're strong. I know how much Eunjung meant to you and Seungmin. You coped faster than he did. And just when he was getting stronger, you disappeared. That was the darkest part of his life. He blamed himself for losing you, and he cried everyday. But then you came back! Unharmed. Now he has you to help him, and you have him to help you. Please cherish that. I'll promise to protect you like I would protect my sister, but you have to protect him. He can't live without you."

You broke down and hugged Chan.

"I'm not strong....everyday I still think about Eunjung. I haven't been able to sleep because I was always scared I would lose someone without having the chance to say goodbye. I can't do this. I need all of you to protect me...how is that strong?" You asked.

"Come on Y/n. You survived 2 months without us. We all experience our weaknesses at one point, but it's all to help us get stronger. Look at you. You may have spent the first couple months feeling weak, but then you went out there and survived. You survived without the help of us. You are strong okay? Being strong doesn't mean you're strong 24/7, it means you're strong at heart. You learn from your mistakes, and never give up. Don't be so hard on yourself."

You smiled. "Thank you Chan....really...." you walked back to your room and sat on the bed.

"I may not be strong by myself, but when I have the people I love around me, We, together, can be strong." You murmured to yourself.
