It's been raining for days and by now, the called sanctuary is now probably cold, burnt into ashes from top to ground.
The roof made booming noises as the rainstorms down from the angry dark clouds that flashes yellow and blue lighting bolts with like cracking sounds.
Baekhyun is worriedly paced back and forth, glaring at the dark clouds covering the skies in the early morning as the wind lashed at the windows.
"Where would they be by now, it's stupid to linger on the city to I suggest they might go back to the sanctuary. But we are not there anymore, so where should they possibly stay. The road is a dangerous trail too as there's a lot of rogues out there." He mumbled to himself as he tapped his fingers on his folded arm.
Relax, Baekhyun. There's a lot of them who are trained to survive and fight. They should be safe and finding you by now. His sane side covered his worry.
Baekhyun decided to sit behind the window from one of the abandoned apartments as he stalked the zombies roaming in the city. The room is strangely clean and there's still a half-filled water jug inside.
Another hour has passed and the sun already disappeared from the depths of the thickness of clouds... But the horizon is clear in his eyes.
His stomach burning not just because he is hungry but the idea that all the people he'd knew for the past month are now nowhere to be found. Especially Luhan and Taehyung.
And the last person he like the least to be with was actually and annoyingly with him right now.
He had lots of thoughts running in circles in his mind. He felt numb as he think how will they end up if they vanished from the camp right long before this happened. Are they still be together now or not.

hanyeol suddenly groaned from his sleep. Pulling Baekhyun's thoughts away from him. His cut is deep. The blade pierced through the far side of his stomach but it already stopped bleeding and he got a few hours sleeping to gain energy.
Baekhyun wiped his tears before the latter would see it, only to find Chanyeol trying to sit up with his injured body.
"What's the problem?" He asked.
"Your face." The boy filled in a flash with a roll of his eyes.
He sighed and stood up, putting his gloves and boots on.
His people are missing and he's asking what's the problem..
He walked towards Chanyeol and kneeled in front of him. His eyes trained on the covered wound.
"The bleeding already stopped but if you move around so often, I bet it'll start to bleed again. I still don't know if there's an organ that's been damaged. You're pale complexion tells me that you've lost a good amount of blood so don't be stupid to force yourself to stand if you can't." He explained.
He stood up and put his hands on his hips. He watched the buildings outside for a moment and then averting his eyes on Chanyeol.
Chanyeol on the other hand was caught off guard by the sudden eye contact, so in reflex, he quickly looked away.
Baekhyun didn't have any comment about that as he grabbed his tumbler and drink the whole bottle of water.
"I needed to find medications for you. Also food." Baekhyun spoke, breaking the silence of the cold room.
The room is pretty small, one double deck bed, a jug of water and a door are the only things that are only essential to be able to survive from the outside world.
"I'll come with you." He sat up with struggle and gripped into the silver pole on one of the edges of the bed.
"What the fuck are you doing? Stay down." Baekhyun grumbled as he practically shoved Chanyeol back unto the bed.
"I'll go alone. It'll be safer and faster." Baekhyun interjected while Chanyeol hissed from the pain. Not to mention that his lips appeared paler because of the blood loss.
"I- I can." He insisted and attempted to stand but failed. He tried again but Baekhyun pushed him down.
"Look at yourself. You're a mess. Don't be so difficult." Baekhyun glared at him.
"You can't last long like this. You'll bleed yourself out. You'll just slow me down! Can't you understand? Do you want to die and end up like them?!" Baekhyun shouted, pointing at the walking dead bodies under the pouring rain outside.
His patience shattering with his loud voice as he turned his hands into fists.
"I don't know where's Taehyung, Luhan, and the rest and you still make me more frustrated! Aren't you worried that there's something bad that might have happened to them in this second?" He added, adding force to his remark.
"I'm worried about every fucking thing! And you know what frustrates me even more? You!" He shouted. He almost spat about how he chose to find him instead of going with the rest but he skipped that part.
The cold room became silent for a second before Chanyeol looked away and stared from the window.
"I'm just worried that you might leave me like the others..." He pointed out. His eyes are far away, and his deep voice cracked a little.
Baekhyun was taken aback by his sudden pain and he just realized that he'd been a bit harsh to him.
Why would he think of that?
"I will not leave you. Not now." He exclaimed, swallowing his anxiety.
"I'm glad to hear that." Chanyeol responded. He didn't expect that this boy, this teenage boy would save his old ass from death, and even though he's a dead weight, the called boy still there for him.
Because in this world, practicality, selfishness, and crimes happen when everyone is desperately wanted to live.
And here's Baekhyun, still with him.
Baekhyun grabbed his backpack and his samurai blade. He slung it on his back and looked at Chanyeol once more.
"We're even. You saved me, I saved yours. You're not the boss of me. However, I still need you to find Luhan, Taehyung, and the rest so don't be such a jerk and listen." He opened the lid of his tumbler and filled it with water from the jug in the corner of the room and handed it to Chanyeol for him to drink.
"I'll just try to find and get some medicine and find some food in the way too. So don't fucking die." He finally instructed, making Chanyeol smile a bit before he threw a thick blanket on the taller's face as he rolled his eyes.
"I don't need medicine anymore. So you don't have to go out alone anymore." Tried once again but he only got a face from Chanyeol.
"If I don't come back within three hours, you're on your own. It means I been fucked up out there." He spoke before opening the door.
"Don't miss me too much." He rolled his eyes before closing the door.
