The Fall to Infection

Food for your thoughts?

We ran for what felt like ages, until we suddenly stopped and I slammed into the back of the person dragging me. I snapped back to reality to search around us for answers, only to see a crowd of people staring at us.

I didn't get time to see who was dragging me before we were running again. The wind blowing in my face as I felt like my legs were limp noodles because of how numb they were.

I blink, and suddenly we were hiding in a clean but clearly abandoned house.

I could hear their heavy breathing, before I felt someone grab my shoulders and turn me to face them. My eyes widened as we made eye contact.

It was the handsome guy who saved me?!

"Are you hurt?" He gasped, still panting heavily as he looked over my body carefully.

I shook my head silently, before bringing my attention to the other males with us.

"Thank you.." I began, my voice coming out shakier than I expected. "Thank you for saving me."

One of them waved his hand, giving me a solace smile.

"It's fine, we would probably do it again given the chance."

I smiled at them exhaustedly before nodding, slumping my body against the wall and slowly sliding down it until I landed on the floor.

"My name is Sami, by the way. I should've said it sooner-"

"You couldn't have, we were being chased by crazy people." One scoffed, however with a humorous smile.

"I'm Jin." The guy who comforted me earlier said, bowing slightly.

"Yoongi." The guy who commented just a second ago said.

"Hoseok."

"Jimin"

"Namjoon."

"Taehyung, but just call me Tae."

"Jungkook."

His voice once again surprised me, as I didn't even realise he was sitting right next to me, giving me that same charming smile. I returned it.

We sat in silence for a while, letting what just happened sink in. When suddenly someone spoke up.

"So... What happens now?" It was Jimin, who looked paralysed but was obviously trying to hide it.

He earned a bit more silence.

"We need to find out what this is, maybe the news knows something?" Joon (which I just thought of) commented, making everyone nod in unison.

Jin turned on the TV quickly, and they all sat down on the sofa in front of it. Watching silently. Me and Kook were still sitting on the floor, and with a lot of nudges I finally gave in and let him pull me to my feet.

I sat on one of the arms of the sofa, while he sat on the opposite one.

"It was confirmed just a few minutes ago that the entire town has been infected by the virus known as "FALL 3Bvirus, or just The Fall for short."

We eyed each other worriedly before the reporter went on.

"The city nearby has been safely contained, however we advise everyone to stay indoors until we find a cure to this virus.

Due to the effects it has on people, this virus has become the new 'zombie' phenomenon. Although with different symptoms, like heightened senses, being advanced manipulators as well as being incredible negotiators.
