Episode 10 - O.K.

Rollin' in the Deep

     “Hey, Sandeul. Wake up.” Gongchan shook Sandeul who lay still in the backseat of Baro’s sports car. 

     “What if… he’s dead again,” Baro suggested, hesitantly, “but for good this time. He’s not moving.”

     “Can’t you be more optimistic?” Gongchan shot a nasty glance at him, furrowing his brows. “I’m positive zombies have to sleep too.”

     Sandeul’s groggy eyes cracked open, looking at the two as he wondered where he was. “Cha… nn…”

     Gongchan broke into a smile, happy that he proved Baro wrong once again. “Yeah, it’s me. You have to follow us inside the building. Jinyoung and Shinwoo are there.” He helped Sandeul up and out of the car, even though he was still sore from being hit with the car an hour ago. 

     “Shi?...” Sandeul grunted, curiously. He wondered where he heard that name from. It sounded familiar. 

     Baro and Gongchan led the easily distracted and limping Sandeul into the building after they were buzzed in. They’re simple journey to Shinwoo’s apartment proved to be more difficult than expected once they reached the stairs when Sandeul refused to climb them. He gripped onto the railing and wouldn’t budge any farther. 

     “Come on,” Baro tried to coax him. “Just lift one foot, then the other.”

     “I think he’s tired out,” Gongchan said, but Baro rolled his eyes. “You saw him sleeping before! And with left leg not functioning, he probably can’t.”

     “How many times do I have to tell you?” Baro smacked his own forehead in frustration. “Sandeul can’t get tired, or sleep, or feel pain, or remember anything because he’s DEAD!”

     “Ya! Keep it down!” Jinyoung said from the top of the stairs. “We can hear you from inside the apartment. What’s taking you so long?”

     “Sandeul isn’t cooperating,” Baro answered. 

     “He’s worn out,” Gongchan corrected him. 

     Jinyoung jogged down the stairs. “I got this,” he said as he easily lifted Sandeul onto his back to piggyback him upstairs. Jinyoung set him down inside Shinwoo’s place. 

     “Are you okay, Gongchan?” Shinwoo concerned as soon as he saw them, then stared at Sandeul in disbelief. 

     “I should be,” Gongchan flopped onto an old, musty couch that seemed to be living in someone’s basement for years, “if I can get something cold to put on these bruises.”

     “Ice packs coming right up.” Shinwoo blinked and shook his head before digging into his freezer and pulling out a couple for Gongchan. 

     “Why is it so dark in here?” Baro innocently asked as he pulled open the curtains. 

     “Stop!” Jinyoung shielded his eyes from the burning light. “Close it! Close it!” He sighed in relief when Baro closed the curtains even though he didn’t know why Jinyoung acted odd. 

      “Can someone first explain why Sandeul is walking around when he should be lying in a casket?” Shinwoo said while rushing to Sandeul to take the TV remote away from him as he stuffed it into his mouth, while pressing the buttons and making the channels change. 

     “I’m not really sure what happened,” Jinyoung recalled. “I was in the graveyard when it was storming out, and lightning hit the ground, bringing him back to life. It’s like it was a giant defibrillator that revived him.”

     “See!” Gongchan said to Baro as he kept an ice pack on his arm. “I told you Sandeul is alive again!”

    “That doesn’t mean anything. He is a zombie. I think your grief is getting to your head,” Baro sneered.

     “Are you sure that’s not your problem, Baro?” Shinwoo asked as he watched Sandeul. “You’re in denial that Sandeul is back.”

     The four members turned their heads to see Sandeul pick up a picture frame that Shinwoo had on the shelf. That picture was the last one they had taken together as a group… right before B1A4 broke up. 

     “Bi… Po…”

Chapter 49: Ooh, you got me there!! For a moment I thought Sandeul is turning into a zombie again. Also, I'm glad they are having a good time with gigs and all. And if that's Jinyoung at the end, then I'm curious of why he's back. I mean if he's back for good? Anyway, will be eagerly waiting for the next update ^^

Chapter 48: Sandeul is permanently cured? He really won't turn into a zombie again? Wonder how they managed to do that. Also, how did Sandeul know where Jinyoung and Baro was or up to? Wasn't he a zombie already when those decided to do what they did? Anyway, Gongchan and Shinwoo having fun at the grocery store was cute. But them spilling out the entire orange bin, did they face any repercussions? I'm curious of that. Can't wait to read more. Hope to see an update soon ^^

Chapter 47: Oh no no... What's wrong? That cliffhanger is illegal. Anyway, I'm kinda glad that Shinwoo and Gongchan had each other in times like these. Can't wait to see how things would go further. And now that I've caught up with all the chapters, I'll be eagerly waiting for the next update ^^

Chapter 43: Oops, it did turn out like that in the end? At least the organiser took it as a special event and it's ready to do any future recommendations. That's a good thing right? Also I'm curious, was Sandeul biting on Shinwoo all the while they were talking to that manager? If so, what did she think about that? Anyway, will be back later to read more ^^

Chapter 42: Ah, I thought I had caught up with all the chapters and was waiting for an update. My bad! Anyway, I'm glad that their planned performance went without any hitch and the crowd seemed to be enjoying their music as well. But they are gonna extend their performance now? I mean the members are all not in their best condition. So it's kinda making me anxious. Hope, that would go smoothly as well. Anyway, can't wait to read more. But will be back later to do so ^^
