"Is she awake?" Sehun bolted up straight as soon as Chanyeol arrived from downstairs. The older shook his head with a gloomy sigh.
Mag iisang araw ng walang malay si Jana, tatlong araw na ang lumipas mula nang pumanaw si Ace. Lahat apektado sa mga nangyari sa mga nakalipas na malulungkot at nakakabiglang araw.
Hating gabi na't nasa kanya kanyang higaan na sila sa rooftop. Bilang mapagmahal na lider, hinding hindi kinakalimutan ni Junmyeon na mag head count, making sure they are complete as fine as twelve plus Jana.
"Where's Luhan hyung?" with furrowed brows, he shifted confused gaze at everyone until Minseok replied that he's in the tent. Kanina pa daw tulog. Tulad ni Jana, wala ring imik si Luhan sa mga nakalipas na araw.
The eleven guys fell quiet under the wide sky of stars, deep sighing and mind wandering in silence. These past few days, they'd been doing the silent game without even trying.
"Luhan hyung did the right thing, didn't he?" Tao spoke up, breaking the deafening silence. Same thought bothering all of them, replaying in their heads probably too many times. The very first moment they saw Luhan shot a zombie.
"Of course, he did." Yixing replied in a snap, ranting to clear his brother's name. "He did what must be done. It wasn't Kuya Ace anymore when he killed it. Luhan murdered no one."
"Of course. We're all aware of that." Jongdae scoffed in a ridiculous tone. "But for Luhan, this will probably haunt him forever."
"What do you mean?"
Sumilip muna si Jongdae sa tent para siguraduhing tulog na talaga ang pinag uusapan then he went whispering. "The clown zombie."
"C'mon. That wasn't his fault." Junmyeon sighed with a pair of rolling eyes. "We're not having this discussion. Ok?"
If there was something that bothered Luhan more than shooting Jana's turned brother. It was his utter regret for being a coward toward the monster who ended Ace.
"I'm sorry, guys." they turned to Sehun's muttering voice, keeping his head low with extreme guilt. "I should have checked if he really killed it. I should haven't left him there. This all happened because of me."
Sa kabila ng nangyari, si Luhan ang lumalabas na may kasalanan. For something he failed to do. Still, Sehun felt guilty the most. What made him feel worse is the part Luhan lied about his first zombie kill.
"It's no one's fault. Okay?" Junmyeon reached for the maknae's nape as he noticed his teary eyes. "None of us wanted this to happen."
Malakas na bumuntong hininga si Baekhyun na kumuha ng atensyon ng lahat. "Manly my ass."
"Baekhyun." the leader scolded, giving him a warning look.
