The Dead Wayfarers 2"Zelo." Seungho said in a soft yet breathy and disbelief voice. He look down into Zelo's fearful, teary eyes. "Zelo...." Seungho called once more, wanting to make sure it was Zelo, that he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. He felt Zelo's grip on his sleeve tightening, so tight that even the fabric began to squeeze itself against Seungo's skin.
It was his nightmare come true.
Zelo was really there, as Yongguk had said, Zelo was in WWIV. "Seungho." Zelo called as tears began forming and blurring his vision of Seungho. When Zelo called his name, it was as if that was the only voice he wanted to hear as a sign that he has made it, that from this point onward there will only be good. Thus, even Seungho's eyes began to water.
Zelo began to sob when Seungho pulled the younger toward him, resting his chin on the younger's messy hair. Zelo reached his long arms around Seungho's back as he held Zelo close in. Kyungsoo was the first lad Seungho have ever tried to comfort when crying, now Zelo is the second, and Seungho couldn't help but feel like he was embracing his own younger brother.
When Zelo had tone it down a bit, Seungho was the first to break the hug and ice. "Zelo, here," Seungho reached over and grabbed the pants on the ground he assumed was Zelo's, "wear this, let's get you dress."
Jenissi placed the bucket at the highest shelf. "There." He said as he smiled to Kyungsoo, the shorter flashed him a thankful smile. "I'm going to Mimi's room, if I don't come back you know what's up."
Kyungsoo chuckled, "Sure, just don't let her husband catch you."
Jenissi scoffed, "Hey Yoo Kyungsoo, don't you know who I am? I've never got caught once for the past two months. I doubt today will be any different."
"If you're caught and beat, don't say I didn't warn you." Kyungsoo said looking at the flower bucket, Jenissi laughed.
"Fine, fine. I'll be sure not to get caught, I'd be going now she must be waiting for me! See you!" Jenissi announced as he ran out the door. Kyungsoo blew the lad a breathy chuckle. His eyes were still fixed on the bucket.
"Happy Birthday Seungho, you're happy with Yesung, sister in law, nephew, mom, dad, and Mark right? You must be....Everyone is happy right? Mom and dad....It was my fault Seungho died....If only I had warn him of that zombie, but I just....Ah nevermind, as long as you're all together I'm sure you're all happy. I'll come find you all soon, I'll find Yoo Jung and come find everyone....If I'm lucky, maybe I can introduce her to our old house first...." Then Kyungsoo trailed off as memories cloud his mind and he couldn't focus any longer.
He was ready to break down.
But everyone is happy. He only need to look for Yoo Jung now. Then he can easily follow the rest in peace.
Zelo put on his shirt as Seungho hold his own jacket in hand. "Kyungsoo, Jun Gyu, and Jenissi are here with me." Zelo started. "We're staying on the ninth floor."
Seungho nodded, "Let them know I'll figure a way to get us out, can you make it back from here?"
Zelo smiled at him, "Alright, yeah. Once I'm on the fifth floor, there'll mostly be residents. I won't be seeing much of these gatherers and WWIV dogs."
Seungho nodded and handed his jacket to Zelo, "Keep this with you, your shirt is torn." Zelo took it from Seungho with a grateful smile. Then as Seungho moved to open the door, the older man and four men in uniforms were standing around the door.
"102294, you dare invade another group's room and draw your gun against a fellow member. Leader Kim wants to see you, as for that kid behind you, leave him in there." The man said under a low and dangerous tone.
Seungho was about to reach for his gun when the heavy footsteps and familiar voice hollered toward them. They turned around to see Sergeant Cha, and immediately the men in uniforms took a step back and the older squinted a little. Sergeant Cha look from Seungho to Zelo, then back at the older. "Lee Sungjae, why is a resident in your room? You know it's against the rules to have a resident on the fourth floor,"
The older scoffed, "That's what I'm saying Cha Seungwon, why do you think I brought these men here?! These two rascals were in my group's room! I was just trying to chase them out!"
Sergeant Cha turn to Seungho, "Team Leader and Sergeant Yoo, is what he's saying true? Were you in this room with this man without Team Leader Lee's consent?" <
