it all started just a year ago. news reporters told people not to worry about the virus spreading rapidly all around the world. by all means, you really should've worried.

fate, or something else entirely, threw the two of you together amidst the chaos. your sworn enemy since childhood, heeseung, was anything but how people described him.

your shoes tapped against the cold concrete, your breaths getting shorter with every passing second. you tightened your grip on heeseung's wrist, practically dragging him along with you as he struggled to keep up.

the loud, gut-wrenching sounds of cannibalistic zombies echoed from behind you as you screamed at heeseung to keep going.

in all honesty, you probably should've left him behind a long time ago, but something inside you couldn't let him go. you took a quick glance at him, watching as an alarmingly huge amount of blood trickled down the side of his head.

it almost looked like he was about to pass out. you muttered a curse under your breath as you continued running, despite the agonizing ache in your legs. he blinked sleepily, eyes half closed as he said something you couldn't quite make out.

"don't close your eyes, idiot." you chided as your eyes brimmed with tears from the pain.

"you say that like i'm gonna die, gorgeous." he mumbled, the words hardly even loud enough for you to hear.
