Third Person's POV

His veins start coursing with a grey colour pigmenting through his pale skin. He stumbles back from the bed falling on the floor as realisation dawns on him.

"Jungkook!" Lia immediately steps off the bed to get to him.

"Don't!" He warns her crawling back, tears in his eyes.

"Oh, Jungkook," her eyes water, "What did you do?"

"Nothing," he shakes his head looking at her from the floor.

"Then what's wrong with your arm?" She breaks down as the situation starts unveiling itself to her. 

"I- The second dose of vaccine," he starts hyperventilating. 

No, no, no, no. This can't be happening. I can't afford to leave Lia alone. I promised her.

"I took the second dose here," he replies with tears streaming down his face.

"No, Jungkook," she cries, "How can this- I'm gonna call Hoseok."

She sobs as she takes Jungkook's phone and dials Hoseok. She taps her foot waiting for him to answer.

"Hoseok-"

"JUNGKOOK!" A bunch of noises and Hoseoks yells are heard through the phone.

"Hoseok?" Lia breathes heavily, "Hoseok?"

"THE ZOMBIE OUTBREAK, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN," Hoseok yells through his phone undoubtedly running for his life, "THE SECOND DOSAGE OF VACCINE WAS FAULTY! PEOPLE ARE TURNING!"

"Did- Did you get it too?" She glances at Jungkook and he nods with fear in his eyes.

Who's gonna take care of her now? There isn't gonna be anyone- She's going to be alone. All alone in an apocalypse. 

"Yeah," All the footsteps seemed to seize on the other side indicating that he stopped running, "But I don't know if I'll turn. Some people are turning, some aren't," he sighs, "I hope I don't turn. How's Jungkook?"

"He's-" Jungkook snatches the phone from her, "Hyung."

"Jungkook?"

"I'm- I think I'm turning," he says, breath still heavy that Hoseok could hear it on the other side. 

"No. Jungkook?" Hoseok panics on the other side, "I CAN'T COME- I'M STUCK HERE! JUNGKOOK, WHAT THE HELL- WHERE'S LIA?"

"She's here," he replies looking at her, "She's with me."

"Get away from her," he says through the phone, "GET THE FVCK AWAY FROM HER-"

"Can you make it here somehow?" Jungkook ignores his requests.

"I'm stuck inside a building- There are zombies swarming outside," he says, "I'll try- SHIT, SHIT THEY'RE BREAKING IN-"

The call ends and Jungkook sighs, tears still falling onto the floor like the last of his hopes. 

"I'm sorry," he whispers.

She sobs clutching onto her chest, "It's not your fault, babe. Can I come near you, please?"

Jungkook couldn't resist. She was asking to be near him. She said please. How could ever say no to her?

He smiles softly, "Come here, my sugar."

"Jungkook," she sobs crashing into his chest, "Please, don't turn. You said you'd never leave me!"

He clenches his eyes shut and holds her tight, "I'm so sorry, sugar. I'm so sorry but look," he smiles, "You need to know a few things, okay? When I turn-"
