Population Zero | Katseye X Male Reader

When Sophia, Manon, Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae wake up in their Los Angeles dorm one ordinary morning, they expect another day of rehearsals, practice, and city life. Instead, they discover something impossible: everyone is gone.

The streets are silent. The freeways are empty. No phones connect, no voices answer, and no matter how far they search, they can't find a single person. Yet the city doesn't look abandoned. Meals still sit warm on kitchen tables. Cars idle with engines running. Movies continue to play in empty theaters. It's as if millions of people vanished in the middle of their lives without warning.

Determined to survive and uncover the truth, the six friends turn their dorm into a base of operations and begin exploring the eerily deserted city. But the deeper they investigate, the more disturbing the mystery becomes. Strange clues suggest that whatever happened wasn't an accident-and that they may not be as alone as they thought.

While searching for supply's, Daniela and Megan make a shocking discovery: a lone soldier wandering the empty streets. Dressed in a Ranger uniform and just as startled to see them as they are to see him, the stranger triggers a tense standoff before both sides reluctantly lower their guard. He introduces himself as Y/n, explaining that his unit had been temporarily stationed at a nearby military base and that he woke up to find every member of his team gone.

Now, with more questions than answers and a growing sense that something is terribly wrong, the seven survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of an entire city. But as they follow the clues left behind, they begin to realize that finding out what happened may be far more dangerous than being alone.
