                    Season 2 Episode 3                                                                                                 Everyone watched the reunion before their eyes as Chanyeol buried his sister in his embrace, both rocking back and forth. They all saw how Yoora looked, the girl looking like an exact carbon copy of Chanyeol. She was tall for a girl, her long legs and body structure all screamed Park Chanyeol’s sister. Ellie was beside her, her copper hair flowering down her face as she watched them with a small smile. Park Yoora sniffled and in less than a second, her face went back to its original state- her tone, her actions all reeked of authority. Her brushed her brother’s hair off his face and pecked him on the cheek before giving them a silent movement with her hand.   “Come in.” It was Ellianna who said that, motioning them into the house as Yoora led them in. Chanyeol followed his sister, not leaving her side. Yoora sat down and everyone stood in front of her, their hands in front of them like kindergarteners waiting for a command. “Do sit. I would learn your names now but I can’t be bothered just yet.” Yoora said, pushing a plate of papaya towards them. Everyone rustled and began to crowd around the table, Baekyoung sitting across Yoora- both locking eyes for a moment without looking away. “How did you end up here, Noona?” It seemed as if Chanyeol still could not register that his sister was in front of him, his hands going to touch her arm. “I thought you were-“   “Shhh.” Yoora pressed her finger onto her brother’s lips, her eyes cold but her actions full of love. She cleared and just as she was about to talk, Lilnugget appeared with the chicken in her arms. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of people and she ran up to the table about to say something but under Yoora’s harsh glare she shied away. “Take the kid away.” Under Yoora’s demand Ellie nodded obediently and called Lilnugget over, the small dark child trotting to the copper haired girl just to sit on her lap, still gripping the chicken as if it was her first born child.   “I was on the plane when it crashed.” Yoora began; everyone still too afraid of her to say anything as she focused her eyes on each of their faces. “It crashed on land the other side of this island.” “Why did it crash?” Chanyeol frowned. They had paid for that flight, it was meant to be safe being business class and all. “Who was the pilot? I’m pretty sure I checked that he had a license before allowing him to fly the plane-“ “It wasn’t that. People…. They started turning into something else. The pilot began to try biting everyone, it was like a mad dog virus. Before we knew it, three people were turned and with the help of the passengers, we killed the people who were trying to kill us-“ Ellie butted in, chewing on her lip when Kris smiled at her. “Zombies.” He corrected her. “Call them zombies.” Ellie turned bright pink but managed to turn her eyes away, continuing to talk. “S-So… a whole lot of us were bitten including our co-pilot. He turned into a zombie and then we crashed.”   “There were some survivors at first.” Yoora spoke blankly, her eyes wiped out of emotion as she gave a sigh followed by a shrug. “But most of them were bitten and we kept them close since we had no idea that a bite could change people. We were taken in by the people of this village. But not long after that the survivors who were bitten began to change and they bit the people in this village, infecting them as well. We fled, of course, along with Lilnugget here. She was the only one who was bitten and didn’t change. I wanted her dead at first but Ellie-“ Yoora looked over at Ellie whose arms wrapped around the child protectively. Yoora dragged her eyes away and continued talking. “We hopped from cave to cave, being careful of the creatures that would eat our flesh until we came back to this place to find it empty. They all were probably infected.”   “You must have suffered a lot, Noona.” Chanyeol said to her, and for the first time they saw his affectionate side- the boy bringing his sisters hand up to his lips just to kiss it. He began to tell her what had happened (skipping the fact that Baekhyun killed his girlfriend.) and Yoora nodded along with Ellie who listened quietly while she tried to keep the child on her lap. Yoora turned to the child and barked at her to stay still, Lilnugget freezing on her spot with her eyes wide open. It was obvious Yoora scared the living out of the child.   Actually, she did to all of them.     The next day, they all started it off with cutting nearby trees to make a fence and stakes. Kris wiped his forehead with his hand as beaded sweat dropped down the side of his face. He looked towards one of the houses seeing Luhan playing with the kid. Suho was helping him; the researcher discarded his shirt to the side and was using the axes left by the villagers. “How long do you think we can stay here?” Suho suddenly asked and Kris looked at him seeing Suho’s furrowed eyebrows. He knew the worry and could feel it but he, himself, had no idea. As much as he hated to give that as an answer, he gave a shrug. “No one really knows. Makes me feel uneasy.” Suho said, seeing Kris’ reaction. Just when Suho was about to say something else a squeal reached their ears and they saw Lilnugget throwing stones at Luhan.   “BAD LUHAN! ALBERTO NOT FOOD!” Her shrieks were loud as Luhan kept dodging stones. He missed a dodge and it hit him on the arm, the fairy boy yelping at the pain. “WHY EAT ALBERTO?! ALBERTO NOT FOOD!” “Okay! Okay! Geez, calm down!” Luhan yelled out in Chinese and the child screamed at him, going into a full blown tantrum. “WHAT YOU SAY? ELLIE, HE SAY HE WANT EAT ALBERTO!”   “Quite a fiery child she is.” Suho said, nodding approvingly. “Why do they call her Lilnugget though?” “I heard it was Nugé but Ellie could not pronounce it so they called her Nugget instead.” Kris chuckled at the thought. “The irony of being called nugget when you’re protecting chicken rights.” “Don’t you think you should go and save Luhan there? He’s getting beaten up pretty badly.” Suho nudged Kris, pointing at Luhan who had Lilnugget on his shoulders as she tried to rip off his hair. “Should I?” Kris glanced at the situation and nodded, patting Suho on the shoulder. “Just keep working- I’ll be back.”   The police walked over them, Luhan had finally shaken off the young child and he rushed over to his Chinese mate just to hide behind him. “SAVE ME!” “What did you do?” “She’s a devil, I tell you! A devil!” Luhan pointed to Ellie who was standing at the side. “And she did not help at all!” “You kind of deserve it.” Ellie answered smoothly. Lilnugget had ran over to them, looking like she was going to hit Luhan but she stopped when she saw Kris, her eyes growing wide at his height. She always had that confused look whenever Kris was near, once wondering out loud if he was a giant because he was “big and long”. Of course, the guys took it ually and teased Kris about it.   “Woah, darling.” Kris said, looking down to her- his eyes going to the chicken that she held so tightly in her arms. “What’s wrong? Why are you hurting Luhan?” “L-Luhan b-bad…” Lilnugget mumbled. “Luhan tell Nugé he eat Alberto.” “What did you say, Han?” “I just said. ‘Chicken eat.” in english and she flipped ! OW!” Lilnugget threw rocks on Luhan’s feet and he jumped onto Kris’s back. “That chicken has a ing name, Kris!” Luhan said, popping from behind Kris. “And he’s ing obese! He should get eaten!” “WHAT YOU SAY?! ELLIE! HE SAY HE WANT EAT ALBERTO!” It seemed that whatever Luhan said and Lilnugget didn’t understand- it meant that he would eat her chicken.   Kris looked up at the girl as she stood behind all of them while nodding her head. He chuckled. “Aren’t you supposed to help calm her down?” Kris asked, Luhan running away and Lilnugget following with much speed. Kris walked towards her, the girl shaking her head softly. “They’ll get closer that way.” “So you’re Yoora’s secretary.” “Yeah.” Her answers were clipped but her flustered expression gave way that she was shy. Kris could not help but smile at her reaction, a hand going under her chin to lift it up with a tip of his finger. He did that for nothing- just to see her face clearly. “You should look at people while talking to them.” Kris said to her and her cheeks tinged pink. Before he knew it, she had brushed him off and ran after Lilnugget calling her name.   Meanwhile, in the main hut were Yoora and Chanyeol. While his sister peeled the papaya they had picked up, Chanyeol had his eyes focused on Baekhyun who was in the other side of the window. Baekhyun was talking to Sehun, both of them laughing out loud. Not a trace of worry was on his features and instead of making Chanyeol pissed off like he thought it would… It made his heart soar. “You’ve been staring at him this whole time.” Yoora said, coming back with another papaya. Chanyeol dropped his head low at his sister’s words, his lips. “Prove me wrong but I would say that you like him.” “He killed Mira.” Chanyeol’s voice was hard as he said it, going back to stare at Baekhyun who was now swinging pieces of wood at Tao while Tao ducked. “I didn’t like her anyway.” “Noona!”  “You mentioned to me that she was turned, why would you keep her alive? Makes zero sense.”   His sister was blunt with her words and that was one thing that did not change over the time they spent missing each other. Chanyeol let out a breath. He had expected his sister to sympathize with his pain but she was not giving him any of it. “I thought you would understand.” “You were always a sadist, Chan.” His sister answered, holding the knife in her hands. “Go get more papaya outside. I told that puffy cheeked guy to go get some.” “You mean Minseok.” “Yeah, that.” Yoora waved a hand nonchalantly. “Not that I care for their names.”   Chanyeol rolled his eyes at his sister, his long legs striding out of the hut just as Baekyoung was walking in. They usually had a good relationship, the two. But this time Baekyoung did not talk to Chanyeol nor did he acknowledge his presence. Chanyeol turned around, wondering if there was something wrong.   Baekyoung entered the kitchen just as Yoora turned around, her eyebrows rising at the boy. Baekyoung gave her a smile, laying down bits of fruit next to her. “Baekyoung.” He told her his name in case she forgot. “I see you have a handful to do.” “It’s a handful with 13 guys.” Yoora answered, turning back to cutting the fruit he had brought. “More labor, more work. But more safety.” Baekyoung moved swiftly, his hand going out to quickly lay the fruits on the table. “Kai and Tao are out to find meat. We are all lacking in protein.” “It’s dangerous out there.” Yoora said to him. “There are zombies hovering around. Don’t you go around alone.” “Are you worried about me?” Baekyoung asked, his tone teasing as he helped peel the fruits with concentration. “All of you-“ Yoora began, her vision wavering for a moment and her hands slipping. The knife she was holding slid and sliced into the flesh of her hand, the fresh cut spurting out blood. She gasped, her body turning into stone at the sight of blood. Her heart beat faster, the strong and sharp tongued girl now looking weak and Baekyoung noticed that- his hands going to her hands and removing the knife from between her fingers. The boy looked around frantically for a cloth but there was not a single spare one. He tugged off his shirt and was about to press it against her hand but Yoora tugged her hand back, her eyes now open. “Don’t. It’s fine, really-“ “Don’t say it’s fine when you look like you’re about to faint.” Baekyoung answered, stepping closer to her, his body blocking ways of her escaping. A leg wedged against her lower body and he grabbed her hand, hastily wrapping his shirt around her hand to stop the bleeding. Yoora did not move but she also showed no signs of saying thank you, her eyes on Baekyoung’s hand that was cupping hers when back door slammed close making them turn back.   Chanyeol stood there, looking at the shirtless Baekyoung pressed up against his sister and they glared at each other. He had always liked Baekyoung, but Baekyoung messing with his sister made him even more protective of her. Chanyeol strode to both of them; seeing the blood soaked T-shirt and he pushed Baekyoung back, his body between the both of them. He hissed between his teeth, a hand going to Baekyoung’s shoulder. “Stay away from my sister.”   Yoora had never seen this side of Chanyeol before. He was menacing and guarding her so in

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.
