Chapter 2: "Serious Conversation"
*Y/N's POV*
I brought him to my temporary hideout, and he remained silent, lost in thought. His eyes betrayed his fear, and I wondered if I should comfort him. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked, trying to sound gentle.
He looked around, taking in his surroundings. "Your house... it's really pretty," he said, his voice laced with a hint of wonder.
I chuckled. "It's not my house. I'm just staying here for a while."
He raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you living here if it's not your house?"
"Because it's safe," I replied, my tone cautious.
"Safe from...?" he pressed, his curiosity evident.
I hesitated before answering, "From them. The ones who are after me."
His expression turned disappointed. "Oh, I thought they only wanted me..."
I sighed, realizing he had no idea what was going on. "They're after both of us, trust me."
He looked puzzled, and I wondered if he was mentally unstable. "But don't you think they were behaving weirdly? I mean, they even look kinda... ugly."
I shook my head, trying not to laugh. "They're infected, By a virus, of course. Don't you watch movies?"
He looked at me like I was crazy. "Infected? You mean... zombies?"
I nodded, and he let out a string of "ohs" before finally comprehending. "That's why they look so ugly!"
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Unbelievable. You're worried about their appearance when they can eat you alive or turn you into one of them?"
He nodded vigorously, his fear evident. "I don't want to be one of them! Please save me!"
I sighed, wondering how I got stuck with this coconut head. "I'll try, okay?"
He beamed with gratitude. "Aww, thank you so much! You're really nice!"
I shook my head, thinking, "How can he be so happy in this situation? Or am I just not normal?"
He removed his mask, revealing his face. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Y/N," I replied, trying to sound friendly.
He smiled. "Pretty name. And I'm Taehyung. Nice to meet you, Y/N."
I was taken aback by his sudden charm, and my eyes widened in surprise. (@_@)
