The moment he pushed open the door he was greeted by something he did not expect to see, especially in a room that he saw Chanyeol coming out from. The small boy stood rooted on the spot, his pupils shaking at the sight of the tied up zombie. It was a girl and she was wearing expensive clothing- at least that was what Baekhyun thought since what she wore seemed to be an evening gown. Her eyes were on Baekhyun, her growls becoming louder every second as she struggled against the restraints. Baekhyun did not move, his hand gripping the silencer tightly. The scene in front of him had not registered into his mind just yet. So that was why Chanyeol did not want him in the room… Who was this girl? Baekhyun squinted his eyes at her face. She did not look like him. She couldn’t be his sister or his mother.   “Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….” She gave out an animalistic snarl and Baekhyun once again felt nervous when the ropes on her arms seemed to loosen every time she tugged against it. Baekhyun, however, did not move away from the room. He was a curious boy and his fear did not win against his need of knowledge. The boy moved into the room despite the growls that were produced by the turned female.   “So you were the one making the noises.” Baekhyun whispered to himself, walking into the room and looking around. It was a normal hotel room but what made it different were the pictures that were propped on the shelves. His legs brought him towards it, the small boy momentarily forgetting that there was a zombie right behind him. His hands reached out to take a look at the picture, before moving to the window and opening the curtains to get a source of light. The moonlight was enough to see that it was a picture of the girl when she was still normal, her smile so bright it was hard to imagine what she had become. She was beautiful and beside her was a tall boy that had the same kind of smile planted on his face. It was obvious with his big ears and long body that it was none other than Park Chanyeol. He had his arm around her shoulders, and his head lowered in an angle that showed that he was looking at her.   “He knows how to smile.” Baekhyun muttered under his breath, moving away from the window and going back to place the picture where he originally found it. He guessed that the girl was his childhood friend- An like Park Chanyeol? He wouldn’t be able to treat his lover right. Baekhyun pursed his lips in thought, scanning the rest of the pictures without noticing the loosening ropes of the zombie that was being incredibly loud. “Why would he keep her here though? It’s not like we can find an antidote anytime soon. Should we ask Suho Hyung to help her? No…” Baekhyun kept talking to himself. “He was able to bring Baekyoung Hyung to life by making his heart beat but it probably could not turn an already turned person back. Baekyoung Hyung ly for awhile merely because the virus that was injected was from an infected Sehun so the virus was strong enough to circulate the blood but not strong enough to permanently turn him but this girl-“ Baekhyun turned to see her thrashing against the ropes like any zombie would. He turned back to continue talking to himself.   “This girl, she was bitten so there is no antidote.” Baekhyun was happy at his genius conclusion that he came upon by a self monologue that he did not notice that one of her wrist came free from the grasp of the ropes and the other wrist was on its way. “Grrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaash!” The shrill sound of her zombie scream rang into his ears but he did not turn, his back against her while he stared at the pictures absentmindedly. “Grasssssssssshhhhhhhhhh!” “Keep quiet, I’m thinking of how to save you.” Baekhyun said, annoyed at the noise. He had already become slightly used to zombies, having so many encounters with them. He was used of how they sounded. He remembered how scared he was even hearing them breathe. Now, he would get nervous the first few minutes and it was slowly disappear and be replaced by his determination to live. Baekhyun traced the picture with his finger, his finger unconsciously rubbing on Chanyeol’s happy face when he spoke up.   “How was Park Chanyeol like when he was happy-“ “Grasssssssssssssshhh!” Her abnormally loud wail made him turn and he came face to face with the zombie that was charging towards him as if she was a lion that hasn’t been able to eat for years. “Why- How did you get out- “ Baekhyun jumped to the side when the zombie crashed against the shelf that was behind him in time. He scrambled on all fours, trying to get off the ground. He stood back up, running towards to door to exit the room and lock the door. He would leave her inside and she would end up locked back in her room. Baekhyun would run back into his room and cuddle up to his best friend and he would not mention it to anyone. Park Chanyeol, of course, would think that the ropes came off by accident (which it did)… At least that was the plan. “I was actually thinking of trying to save you!” A whine left Baekhyun’s lips as his legs brought him closer to the door. He passed the door and turned to close it but the zombie was just by his heel not allowing him to slam the door on her. Baekhyun now knew that he was in serious danger, if he wasn’t going to get killed by this zombie- he would get killed by Park Chanyeol himself.   “Ahhhhhh!” Baekhyun yelled out, looking behind him to see her gnarl at him as she ran down the hallway with her evening gown blowing behind her. Her legs were pretty long and she was pretty tall for a girl- even taller than Baekhyun and she would be able to catch up to him in no time, he wasn’t that fast a runner. The boy ran up the stairs to the sixth floor bellowing on top of his lungs. “Help! Help!” Baekhyun cried out, his fists slamming against the doors of the rest while he ran past. They were all hung over though, it wasn’t long since they had drank. The alcohol would still be in their blood, making them slow to react to anything he did. The only people available were Kyungsoo and Chanyeol. Chanyeol stayed in his room the whole time.   “Kyungsoo! Soo!” Baekhyun tried again, and almost immediately the door of Kyungsoo’s room opened. Kyungsoo stepped out with confusion and that confusion was replaced with alarm when he saw the zombie that was to his left while Baekhyun was on his right. Kyungsoo’s owl eyes widened, his body twisting so suddenly and the hobbit like boy also found himself running after Baekhyun, the zombie after both of them. “How did a zombie get in?” Kyungsoo asked, already running out of breath. Baekhyun shook his head, trying to answer but his chest was heaving so hard from running he just continued speeding away. They were already reaching the end of the hallway, both of them would be trapped soon. There was a great deal of sound from their yells of help and the zombie growls that the others were starting to stir. The second person to come out of his room was Suho, the doctor stepping out with his face still flushed from the alcohol. His drunken state disappeared almost suddenly when he saw the two at the end of the hall, the smart man going into the room to wake up Kris. Meanwhile, Baekhyun was already tired, his legs giving way and he tumbled onto the ground just in time to hear his brother and Chen yell. Things were happening all at once, the door that was closest to him opening. Chanyeol had woken up from the racquet and came out to see what the fuss was about. Right that moment, the zombie had already neared him, jumping to attack him from above.   “Wha-“ Chanyeol started. “Baekhyun!” Kyungsoo exclaimed in nervousness and fear for his friend. Baekhyun’s hands reacted by instinct, lifting the gun that had always been in his hand and shot it straight at her. The silencer made no noise and after pressing on the trigger, Baekhyun closed his eyes. He expected the shot not to make it, maybe injuring the zombie but not killing her. He felt someone fall on top of him and it wasn’t moving. “Baekhyun!” Baekyoung was sprinting towards his brother with great speed, Kai and Tao peeking out of the open doorway. Luhan and Sehun did the same thing, Luhan rushing over to Baekhyun when he saw what was happening. Minseok had somehow quietly exited his room and was now standing beside Suho. “Pull it off him.” Baekyoung said, both he and Luhan pushing the body of the dead girl away from his younger brother. Baekhyun’s body shook. The gun that he was holding dropped onto the ground, and while Baekyoung fussed over him, the only person he could focus on was Park Chanyeol who looked shocked. The tall boy did not move, his mouth slightly agape. “Are you okay? Did she bite you?” Baekyoung asked, his hands wandering all over Baekhyun’s body frantically searching for any bite marks. All Baekhyun did was shake his head tiredly, turning away from his brother as guilt spread over him like wild fire. Kris and Suho walked over to the dead body, staring down at her. “How did she get in?” Luhan asked, standing up. All of them wondered why a zombie was there. Kyungsoo had walked over to all of them now that safety was reassured. “Is there an opening somewhere that we don’t know about?” Suho uttered nervously, leaning forward to look down at the girl and prod her face slowly with his finger. “I thought this place was safe.”   Bang!   Chanyeol had punched the wall suddenly and no one knew why except Baekhyun. The tall guy turned and looked at Baekhyun, a hiss leaving his lips. “Come here, you son of a .” The tall man strode over to Baekhyun, grabbing him by the upper arm before pulling him up forcefully. He did not look at anyone else, dragging Baekhyun down the hallway. Baekhyun would usually struggle, but he followed- his un-aligned footsteps going after Chanyeol. “Where are you bringing Baekhyun-hyung?” Sehun asked suddenly, the youngest looking like he had just grasped the situation. “Chanyeol… Chanyeol!” Minseok was the last person Chanyeol passed, the older boy trying to stop him by reaching out to hold his arm. Chanyeol swatted it away, pushing Baekhyun down the stairs without caring whether the small boy was hurt or not.   Down 6 floors they went, Chanyeol pulling Baekhyun behind him like he was a dog. His long legs made every stride hard for Baekhyun, the smaller boy trying to keep up with his pace. “I-I’m sorry…” Baekhyun began, hoping that he would be let off easily but Chanyeol’s silence was an obvious answer. “ you.” Chanyeol spat, throwing Baekhyun down onto the floor that the smaller boy found himself flying and crashing against the lobby’s carpet. Chanyeol took another step at him, lifting him up by the collar once again and flinging him to the side. Baekhyun felt his body become sore and bruises were starting to form. “I told you to stay away, why the didn’t you listen?” Chanyeol hissed. “NOW SHE IS DEAD!” He roared and walked over to Baekhyun, kicking the boy on the stomach. “MY GIRLFRIEND IS DEAD!”   “CHANYEOL!” Baekyoung was running down the stairs, the others following him. The moment Baekyoung saw his brother get beaten; he sped up his movements, trying to stop Chanyeol who was towering over the doubled up Baekhyun. “You ing killed Mira and I will never forgive you for it.” Chanyeol began, lunging over to Baekhyun once more but Minseok grabbed the taller guy, holding him back. “I TOLD YOU! I WARNED YOU!” Chanyeol hollered on top of his lungs, pushing Minseok away and trying to go back to Baekhyun, wanting to hurt the small boy. He wanted to rip Baekhyun into pieces; he wanted to make Baekhyun suffer for shooting his girlfriend on the head right in front of his face.   “Goddamnit, Chanyeol! Calm down!” Minseok bellowed at the taller guy who was looked like he would kill Baekhyun if he was within one meter of the boy. Minseok who was pushed to the ground had hit his hip onto the lobby’s counter. The tall boy’s face was filled with fury and the tips of his ears turned red. Chanyeol was yelling expletives at Baekhyun, his steps lunging towards the small boy but was stopped by Kai and Tao who tried their best to pull him back. The tall boy was thrashing against their grip, his eyes wide. He looked like someone who had lost his mind. “You killed her! You killed her!” He screamed, his voice turning raspy at how high his voice went. “Let go of me… Let go of me!” He whipped his head and stared at Kai and Tao who automatically let go of him. They found his tantrum weirdly scary. Sehun watched from the side while Suho had his hand up as if he was trying to calm Chanyeol down like he was a wild dog.   “Chanyeol!” Kris began, shoving Chanyeol backwards but before he knew it, a fist came flying from nowhere. Chanyeol punched Kris on the face and was trying his hardest to reach Baekhyun who was behind his older brother for protection. Kris turned around, swinging his own punch onto Chanyeol his fist making contact on the boy’s cheek. The two were against each other and Kai and Tao seemed hesitant to break the fight, Minseok limping towards them but stopped when Kris was once again sent flying onto the floor.   Chanyeol kicked a nearby plant, the breaking sound of glass making Baekhyun wince. He imagined Chanyeol pretending that the plant was his face, bits and pieces of soil spread everywhere on the ground. However, Chanyeol was not giving up in wanting to break Baekhyun. He took another step forward towards the two brothers, Baekyoung tensing up when Kris once again pulled him back to stop him. “ off!” Chanyeol hissed at Kris, but the Chinese policeman showed no signs of stopping. The two staggered back against the counter, wrestling against the wall. Chanyeol could taste blood in his mouth while Kris was already bleeding around his eyes. Suho tried to break them apart but the poor doctor had not enough strength, being swatted away like he was an annoying mosquito. “Damnit! Calm the hell down!” Luhan began, trying to pull Chanyeol away but he too, was not strong

Chapter 37: <span class='smalltext text--lighter'>Comment on <a href='/story/view/955370/37'>Epilogue</a></span>
This fic had everything: action, suspense, mystery, horror, gore, comedy, romance... even some plot twists. Although the story took a long time to complete, i feel a little empty as it has come to an end. The ending was rushed though.



Can't wait to read your next apocalypse fic.
