Chanyeol: they planned this…
After watching them leave you slammed the trunk closed angry
You: of course they did
Chanyeol: we can kill them when we get back if you want
You: let's just hurry up and go
You got in the car since it was so full you were forced to sit in the front. The ride was silent. you watched the scene as you drove at a slower pace. sport cars are much smoother but you never really saw a clear view just a blur this was nice to if only the window was down and you could feel the wind
Chanyeol: y/n
You: what
You made no effort to look at him
Chanyeol: why are you mad at me
You rolled your eyes. Can he be anymore clueless.
You: are you gonna do this now
he stopped the car
You: we are already behind why are you stopping
Chanyeol: your mad
You: are you gonna hold me hostage until I talk to you? Cause we will be here for hours if that is the case. I am stubborn if you haven't noticed
Chanyeol: I have and i just want to know why you are mad
You rolled your eyes again
You: why do you care… rose said your cold and distant from everyone am i an exception
I yelled at him… I wasn't even angry
Chanyeol: I don't know
You looked at him and he was staring at you seriously. You were shocked.
You: the dead i was experimenting on he was a doctor i got killed…
Chanyeol: what
You: we were gonna take out jinyoung… but jinyoung found out… and killed the leader
Chanyeol: and you feel as if it was your fault
You: it was my fault
Chanyeol: it's not like you told him he was the leader right
You: worse way worse I was the leader and I let him take the fall for me
it got quiet
You: I got all the doctors and nurses ready to kill him. And while we were planning he walked in with a gun… he shot a few innocent people… and he said he would kill more innocent people if the leader didn't step forward. He did for me saying he had no one to rely on him… but I did… he got me through so much before and when the ER first went to shit… I was there almost dead. He got me out… he shared his rations when we started them… and he gave his life for me. And he died thinking he didn't matter to me. If only I took him seriously when he stayed late after his shift with me or when I lost a patient how he would comfort me. He got me through so much and he was just gone
I was crying…
You: I thought Jinyoung was gonna shoot him. But instead he threw him on the other side of the door and began banging on things…. I watched him get bit then run
You wiped the tears away looking out the window
Chanyeol: you loved him
You: I have never known love but he was the only person I ever cared for more than the doctor patient relationship… so if that is love then maybe
Chanyeol: y/n
You: those who think they have no one delude themselves and those who care about them are left a mess cause they got themselves killed because no one cares about you. I hate that you have no care for your life and when you die those who love you are left with this hole they can't fill a hole that may never be filled. How do you expect them to feel? Rose and Baekhyun cause I could tell right away they love you. They look up to you. How do you think they will feel if one day you said you got this but never comeback or they have to watch you get a bit see the process of the transformation? I didn't know the patients that came in after being infected but i still felt the pain of losing them so it would be 10X stronger than that to them.
He didn't say anything you took a deep breath
You: but hey who cares right. If you truly feel like now one depends on you then this talk means nothing to you. Mark really thought I felt he meant nothing to me besides someone who is just there wouldn't matter if they just disappeared hmm. Right yup… happy you know so drive
He started the car up again and made his way. The car filled with silence but different from before more awkward soon a building with huge wall came into view
Chanyeol: we are here
You looked at him and then the place. The gates opened and he pulled in. immediately and a team of people were taking things out of the car. I could see rose and baekhyun waiting for us
Chanyeol: follow me we have to get you processed
He left the car. Wiping your face one last time and got out following behind him. rose took one look at you
Rose: yah park chanyeol what the hell did you do to her
She yelled at her.
You: calm down rose
Rose: look at you your a mess
You: i am fine really
Rose: uh no not gonna do
She yelled even louder. You looked around to see if someone was gonna stop her. But not even baekhyun looked bothered. So you took a step back next to him.
You: are you gonna do something
Baekhyun: he makes her angry a lot so you just have to let her get it out.
You: so it happens a lot
Baekhyun: exactly
You: she doesn't seem like the type to yell
Baekhyun: when she is protecting someone she is dangerous… you are seeing her mama bear… she feels you are family now congratulations...you should have seen her tear the dead apart when lisa was in danger
You: what about you when we left you still hated me
Baekhyun: not hate… I was scared for rose her being out
You: she hasn't been outside the doors
Baekhyun: something like that
I watched Rose continued to yell… chanyeol just sat there taking it until someone walked in and then he tried to stop her
?: I thought I heard you rose which means you are all back
She stopped
?: please continue yelling… it will just give me more to punish you guys for
She shook her head as the man looked over at us
?: who is this
He sounded angry as he looked at you. Causing you to straighten up and avoid his gaze
Chanyeol: sir this is y/n i was taking her to get processed
?: ah you think she should be processed do you
Chanyeol: she was the only doctor left at the hospital… she helped us get more rations of medicine, food, and supplies… that qualifies her don't you think
The man looked at the three cars being unloaded. Qualified does this mean they don't just accept people they have to fit a certain criteria. Meaning if i didn't they would have left me behind. What kind of place is this, what kind of people do that.
?: I see well then we are lucky to have her… assuming she was with you the whole time chanyeol she can skip medical and you both come straight to my office
Chanyeol opened his eyes wide and looked at you
Chanyeol: both of us are you sure
?: it's the last step and i assume you are taking responsibility for bringing this one back unless i am wrong
Rose: no your not it's all him
Chanyeol: she would be better suited for it Rose
Rose: you called dibs she is all on you… baekhyun let's get you to medical
Baekhyun: but i don't want to go
Rose: baekhyun
Baekhyun: right… see you y/n
scurried away like a bunch of mice.
?: follow me
He began walking away. Chanyeol took one look at you and started walking we got into an office it was smaller than I thought it would for the man in charge
?: have a seat y/n… chanyeol
I sat down and looked at chanyeol who seemed like he would rather be anywhere than here
?: My name is Kim JunMyeon but everyone calls me Suho so you may as well…
Suho meaning protector or leader narcissist much
Suho: what's your name
Chanyeol: i told you y/n
Suho: i was talking to her
They seemed tense like there was some unspoken thing between them.
You: my name is Lee Y/N
Suho: Dr. Lee
He looked at you
Suho: how long have you been a doctor
You: 3 years resident and 3 on staff
Suho: you look so young yet you have 6 years. How old are you
You: 25 my birthday passed sometime since the world went to hell
Suho: you started before you were out of highschool how
You: I come from a tiny town. I started volunteering and then was added to the staff when I turned 19. That hospital put me through medical school while I still worked and then I went to the hospital we just came from. I worked there for my 3 years on staff.
Suho: We could really use you as medical staff then. You have so much experience. I saw you also brought a lot of medical supplies and other supplies as well. I have total faith in you.
You: while i still have your faith i would like to help lisa and the rest in your medical as soon as possible
Suho: you know about lisa
He looked at Chanyeol and you felt the air thicken. Did I just cross someline. Why does he assume it was chanyeol who did it anyway
Chanyeol: Rose told her so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
Suho: Well, Rose probably didn't tell her everything. Y/n you see we run on generators and keeping her on breathing generators takes a lot of our resources that we can no longer supply so as hard as that is for me she can no longer be kept on them
You: That is why I am gonna help take her off of them without killing her.
Suho: it has been weeks since the incident do you really believe you have the capabilities to bring someone back from the brink of death
You: I do cause as a doctor no patient is a lost cause as long as their heart still beats and their brain functions as normal. I want to see her
Suho: You have so much confidence you almost make me hopeful again. But you will have to finish being processed and then have a job assignment before you can see her
You: i'm a doctor i'm pretty sure we know my job assignment already no idiot would put me anywhere else. And I only came to see Lisa so all that will either have to wait or you can hurry up cause I am gonna see her today.
Chanyeol snorted i looked at him and he went silent
Suho: are you so sure about that
You: I have stared death in the face and came back. Nothing you do can scare me. So unless you are gonna kick me out I am seeing her today. I wouldnt fight me on this so hurry this along I have work to do
It felt good saying that. I have a purpose again. I looked at chanyeol and he was smiling. The leader looked angry but didn't say anything about that matter. He started off asking me a bunch of questions about me before the dead and what I have been doing since. I was hesitant to tell him about Jinyoung and when I looked at Chanyeol he shook his head so I left out the killings and the dead behind the doors… I left out most of what happened in the hospital the 6 months
Suho: okay well i will speak to baekhyun and rose tomorrow and see if their stories match
I looked at chanyeol and he nodded his head does he have a plan cause baekhyun hates me and is still suspicious of me he will spill everything to suho and i will be kicked out before i can even try to save lisa
Suho: for now everything checks out. But we do have a problem
Chanyeol: you said she checks out what could be the problem
Suho: we went through a rearrange after you left to accommodate for the fire damages and as I'm looking at are room lists we don't have any empty available rooms for her
He smiled like he had won something. So this means I get turned away or what
Chanyeol: then we can have a room of three
Suho: we are at max capacity and i don't think anyone would be comfortable rooming with her you know how they are with new people
You: I could stay in medical then
They looked at me
You: it wouldn't be that different from the hospital we had rooms we stayed at there. It would put me closer to the patients incase of an emergency
It would actually be smart now that i think about it
Suho: every room in medical is full would you like to tell a patient that they are getting kicked out to make room for you
You: i could room with one until there is an opening
Suho: you would just get in the way of how we having it ran now
You: or I can help make better changes to how things are being ran
Suho: are you saying i don't know how to run my own compound
You: no I am saying that i am from medical i have worked in hospitals all my life i have a better idea at how they should be run. No disrespect to you i am sure everything you have done so far has helped your people i am just saying i could help them even more
What is up with all these men and their toxic masculinity
Suho: i will review that with the head staff of medical for now that is off the table
He looked less than apologetic. I was regretting leaving the hospital at this point. It went silent for a couple of minutes. What does he suggest i do then
Chanyeol: I have an empty bed in my room she can have
I looked at him. He seemed like he had contemplated it for a bit before opening his mouth
Suho: I know you don't have much care for the rules but even you know that it is forbidden for males and females to live in the same room
At least he had some sense to have that rule. But we are all adults why treat us like kids
Chanyeol: you let rose and baekhyun sleep in the same room
Suho: special exceptions to those who are married
Chanyeol: they are not married they are just dating
Suho: of course that was a special exception lisa was moved to medical and we needed extra space after the accident
Chanyeol: they weren't even dating at that time baekhyun just had a crush on her. You could say it's cause you forced them in the same room that they got together. This whole case goes against a few of your rules.
Suho: yes but everyone understood why it was needed
Chanyeol: Rose didn't, she hated the idea of staying with him. You basically threatened Lisa's life for her to go
Chanyeol was dead set. These two have a past and something definitely went on to cause them to be like this.
Chanyeol: she should be an exception
He used that word exception. I am finding new ways to hate english now that word just gets under my skin no one should be above the rules.
Chanyeol: What I mean is she needs a room. She can't stay with other girls, she can't stay in medical this is the best suggestion
You: or baekhyun could go stay with you and i could bunk with rose
They looked at me
Chanyeol: you want to be the one to tell baekhyun that he has to move out his room so you could stay there
Suho: he would have no choice. It a good idea y/n
Chanyeol: okay go tell him suho
Suho: what
Chanyeol: it's your rules to enforce so you will be the one to tell him. I am sure he and rose will be happy to hear that especially after the scares he went through thinking she was dead during the breach
It seems the breach is the cause of everyone's problems. And just might be my problem even though i wasn't here
Suho: for now I have no choice y/n you will be staying with chanyeol
He could back down like that.
Suho: but as soon as there is an opening
Chanyeol: I'm sure we will both be happy to not share a room by then
He looked at me and I glared at him. What is that supposed to mean? He would be lucky to stay in a room with someone as great as me
Suho: I guess you can take her to the room and y/n report here tomorrow so we can officially start your work assignment and ration card
Chanyeol stood up pulling you out of the room.
You: chanyeol
Chanyeol: wait until we are alone
You: but i want to see lisa first
Chanyeol: quiet
He walked in silence… we took lots of stairs up almost as much as at the hospital… he pulled out a key and unlocked a room at the very end of the hall. He turned on the lights
Chanyeol: it is not much… we can get you a pillow and blanket after dinner… if you need anything else you can ask Rose or me. Since you haven't gotten your rations points or card you can borrow from us. Just us no one else
I looked at him
You: why
Chanyeol: just cause we all survived doesn't make us good people. No good person survived this mess. We have all done something to get here. So don't drop your guard around anyone, they will take advantage of that.
You: does that mean i should keep my guard up around you too
You were half joking but when you looked at him and saw how serious he was your heart quickened
Chanyeol: especially me.
You: and why is that
Chanyeol: your a girl
You: have been for 25 years thank for noticing
Chanyeol: what I mean is you are a girl in a boys room far from the population.
You: And whose fault is that. You could have pushed for me to stay in medical or when i gave the idea to switch with baekhyun you forced suho to agree somehow that it was a bad idea when he was for it. You manipulated him so this would happen you know
Chanyeol: it's best to keep you close
You: why is that. You want to keep me close but know your doing this whole speech to scare me away. What are you trying to do.
He went silent. why cant he make up his mind. does he hate me or does he approve of me being here. his mood swings are giving me whipflash
Chanyeol: this place is dangerous and you are good
You: you said no good people survived
Chanyeol: I was wrong, there are a few roses, Lisa, you. And I have seen what this place does to those good. It twists them until you can no longer see who they are even more. I don't want that for you. I want you to stay that good person who risked their life for a girl she didn't even know. That just argued with a man that can kick her out for a patient's health. The person who only cares about others. Here that is a weakness that they will use.
You: so it's best to keep me close to keep from others hurt me but to keep and arms distance away from you. Don't you think that will
Chanyeol: will what
You: nothing
You looked away
Chanyeol: I am watching out for you. People here aren't evil, you're right but they do hate me and the people in charge and I don't want anything to happen to you because of that.
You: you act like I have a target on my back now
Chanyeol: you do so just listen to my warning rose is the only person you can trust. But i will be here to help you if you need
You: what about baekhyun
He looked at me
You: never mind I don't want to have the same talk like I am 5… take me to lisa
Chanyeol: you haven't slept since we met you should rest take a shower
A shower sounds so good and i still smell i know that but
You: every second Lisa is on those machines is another that she may not come back… I need to see her
I looked him in his eye
Chanyeol: stubborn
You: requirement to be a doctor
Chanyeol: really
You: no can we go now
Chanyeol: follow me
