Tick, Tock. Tick, Tock.

Wonwoo's POV 

                  I am a loner.

" Why, WHY?!!"

I screamed in vain. I just killed my own member. As I looked around, my surrounding was full with my members,Monsta X's and some unknown corpses. 

I was on my knees, everything hurts right now.

" Hoshi yah, mianhe." I was shaking so hard as I held him in my embrace. The white fluid just won't stop flowing from his body.

I began to walk around, the first person I went to is Mingyu, it was sad how I took out the poison arrow from his chest. The flashback of our moments together flashed through my mind.

For years, we had been friends. We shared the same memories,jokes together, imagine if you lose one of them, it hurts so bad,isn't? But, not only one but I lose all. I felt miserable. I rather imagine if we still friends even if we didn't talk at all, rarely meet, or even the friendship faded. I rather choose the latter. Seeing them once awhile was a lot better than never.

Then, I saw few pieces of torn flesh meat on the ground that I assumed some belong to my members and Monsta X. The vambieres were really brutal and savage.

It was a mess. Totally.

" W-wait, what is this?" I saw a crumpled paper on the ground, to be specifically besides Jooheon and the purple flower.

----------------------

>> Before the war, flashback.

Kihyun's POV

I was locking myself inside my room, away from them for once. I sighed.

" Why is this happened to us? Why us?" I shouted to the empty dark sky through the window.

No answer. As expected.

I suddenly remembered that I only had one last hope. The purple flower. But, I couldn't use it now. Not now. I must wait at least until I meet our maknae.

I began to write my "will" in case anything happens to me at the war.

Dear Someone,

If you're reading this..it means I failed to protect the flower by my own. I really wish, it's you..Shownu hyung who read this.

This flower could save all of us including Seventeen and even BTS. It's antidote that Prof.Oh never knows. I already did the research but with your angered and all, I couldn't help myself to tell you guys about it. I know it's already too late to bring Minhyukkie and Hyungwon ah back but with the flower, we can start it all over again. Prof.Oh needed to be stop so do us. Lately, I began to understand why Minhyuk choose to end his life.

No reason to stay, is a good reason to go. I hope..when you read this letter, it's not already too late.

Your friend, Kihyun.

------------

As soon as Wonwoo finished the letter, he began to find the mentioned flower. He immediately ran to the late Jooheoon's side. But, lady luck was not on his side. The flower already wilthered. He was taken aback.

It's already too late.

" No, no..no. please.."

Wonwoo reach for the flower with his hand only for the flower to be more ruined.

Wonwoo cried out on frustration.

Everything was ruined. He kneel down slowly. It's really over now. There's nothing he can do to bring his friends back. He saw the sword beside a Vambiere's corpse. He took the sword with his shaky hands.

He can't bear to be alone in the world. So he decided to kill himself. He aimed it at his heart.

A hand on his shoulder stopped his action.

"Suicide doesn't solve anything, so stop what you are doing." A voice said behind him.

Wonwoo released the sword immediately. He looked at the person beside him. He can't believe there's another person alive aside of him.

Wonwoo observed the man in front him. He's holding his injured shoulder with his good hand. There's a trail of dry blood from his mouth. That boy is Jungkook. Wonwoo looked at the boy in disbelief.

"I can't believe you're alive..." Wonwoo claimed. But he sure was relief that there's someone else that is alive aside of him.

Jungkook coughed out blood, "Yeah, I barely made it..."

"So what now?... The War ended but... everyone was dead."

Jungkook can't stop coughing blood, "Wonwoo, you have to fix everything. I don't have much time left..."

"B-but how? How should I fix this mess? Please don't leave me alone in here!..." Wonwoo begged the other Jeon.

"The flower... you know about the blue flower right? You should use the flower to restore everything."

"H-how do you know about the flower?"

"Hoseok hyung told me about this when he overheard the professor talk about how to cure everyone after he successfully rule the world. Wonwoo remember, you are the only one who can stop this chaos."

"B-but..."

"Goodluck..." that was the last words that Jungkook said before he... died.

Wonwoo looked at the now dead body in frustration. He can't believe that he is the one who needed to stop everything. And also on his own. He didn't even get to say to Jungkook that the flower was already wilted.

Another grief of sadness overwhelmed him. Now he really can't do anything.

Just then, a strong wind hit his face. He looked up and saw a helicopter flee towards the island. He closed his eyes and wait for the strong wind to stop. As he opened his eyes, he saw a man got out of the helicopter. The man looked familiar but  also unfamiliar.

"What is this mess?! I only thought to visit the professor, but I see something else!" The man exclaimed.

"Call the police to come here!" the same man gave instruction to his bodyguards.

The man then walked through the masses of bodies as Wonwoo watched him carefully. 

The man looked at Prof Oh's body in sorrow, "Now, the last hope for humanity is gone..."

Wonwoo approached the man, "Mr President?..."

The president, Mr Kim looked at the boy in disbelief, "Who are you? Are you a..."

"Yes, I'm the only survivor of this war."

"That's a relief! I really thought everyone is dead! How do you survive, boy?" The president looked at Wonwoo in hope.

Wonwoo hesistated, "I... I killed my infected friend..."

The man looked at the boy in pity, "I'm sorry to hear that."

The president tried to put his hand on Wonwoo's shoulder in comfort but his main bodyguard prevent him to.

"President, we didn't know if the boy is infected or not. So please don't hold him. We will do a full check up body on him at the lab. No offence, kid." The bodyguard said sternly.

Wonwoo smiled bitterly, "It's okay, I get it."

Just then, a police siren can be heard from the sea. A police helicopter also landed on the island.

"While the police take care of the island, let's go back to the lab."

☆☆☆☆☆

After Wonwoo finished his check up, his wore a new set of clothes prepared by the assistants. He still hold the wilted flower. After he saw the president, a new hope blossomed inside him. He then was taken to see the president. Inside the President's office, he saw the president sat behind his desk.

The president looked up as Wonwoo walked in.

"Are you comfortable here?" The president asked.

Wonwoo nodded then bowed, " Thank you for the hospitality, president."

The president then told Wonwoo to sit at the sofa and drank the tea.

"I'm so glad that there is a survivor from the disaster, even if only one." Said the president after he sipped his tea.

Wonwoo nodded, "Thank you again, president."

"Don't mention it. So you know everything, right?"

"Yeah... but I think you are the one who didn't know anything, sir."

"What is it that I don't know?"

Wonwoo then told the man about Prof Oh's plan to take over the world and everything that happened in the villa.

The man looked at Wonwoo in surprised, "So this whole time... Prof Oh is the culprit??"

Wonwoo nodded. 

The president rubbed his temple, "Wonwoo, what should I do now? Should I really use the 'burnt island' method that the American agents suggested?"

Wonwoo gasped, "By the 'burnt island' you mean..."

The man nodded, "Yes, to destroy everything with... bomb."

"With all respect, sir you can't do that! That will destroy the whole South Korea!" Wonwoo exclaimed.

"What can I do now? From the beginning, there is no hope in solving this matter!"

"A-actually..."

KNOCK. KNOCK.

"Sir, the agents are here to speak to you." the secretary interrupted them.

"Bring them in, Wonwoo, you can go now." the president replied.

"Sir, whatever you do, please don't accept the proposal! There is a way to stop all this matter." Wonwoo said.

"And what is it?"

Wonwoo was about to reply when the agents walked in.

"Long time no see, president."

☆☆☆☆☆

Wonwoo paced back and forth in front of the office door. He really hope that the president listen to him. He didn't have the time to talk about the cure, the blue flower.

An hour later, the door opened. Wonwoo anticipated the conclusion of the discussion.

"Thank you for coming, Mr Rollins."

Both the agent and president shake hands.

"I'm still disapointed that you reject the proposal but remember the offer still stands."

Mr Kim the president nods. After the agents left,  Wonwoo is back inside the office.

"I really hope I was right to listen to you. So what is the solution that you got?"

Wonwoo showed him the wilted blue flower, "This flower is the solution. This is the cure for the Vambiere virus. We should get the infected ones to eat the flowers to bring them back to normal. And for the already ones... I don't know if this flower will effect them or not."

"But... the only problem is that the flower has wilted." Wonwoo said sadly.

"I think our researchers can fix the problem."

☆☆☆☆☆

The next day, the plan called 'Rain flowers' took place. Yesterday, as soon as the researchers got a hold of the blue flower, they started to duplicate the flower. Some of them change the flowers' structure to liquid. Wonwoo just look at the sky. It was now raining blue flowers.

It was beautiful as he stares at the sky but when he looks over to the ground it was even more beautiful. The people he loves started to open their eyes slowly and getting up.

"You guys are here. I'm really glad." Wonwoo said as he went to the nearest member from where he stand which is Seungkwan and hug him.

"What happened hyung?" Seungkwan asked, panicking slightly after looking over his body that covered with blood.

"I'll tell you later. Let's get you treated first." He said and then he help the younger up and lead him to the where the paramedics are.

After that, the once Vambieres crowd finally changed back to human though some people are killed in the war earlier. Though Wonwoo still can't believe all of this, he still happy that finally there's a cure for this. Because maybe there's still a chance for him to meet with his family.

"Half of our members are gone. Only 6 of us survived." Jeonghan said after getting treated and went over to Wonwoo, cutting over Wonwoo's thought.

"Yeah, but at least we know they are finally happy in heaven and they don't have to experience pain anymore."

"You've done a very good job Wonu. I heard that you're the one found that flower." Jeonghan said rubbing the younger's back.

"Well, it's not really me. I found that flower but its already gone wilted. I thought I couldn't do anything but then the President came." Wonwoo smiled.

"That's very nice of you. You should get some sleep. I bet you haven't sleep since the start of this chaos." Jeonghan smiled, ruffling Wonwoo's black hair.

"Thanks hyung." He said then close his eyes. He just felt he is tired. All of this chaos stresses and tiring him out.

Soon after he close his eyes, he drifted off to sleep.

"Yah, ireona. We have schedule this morning." S.Coups shouted at the members who are slowly getting up from sleep.

"Hyung, ireona." Vernon said, slightly shaking Wonwoo. Wonwoo opens up one of his eyes and immediately sprinted up from sleep.

"Hansol?" He questions.

"Yes, I'm Hansol and you're Wonwoo. Come on, get up. We have shooting for Pretty U." He said then proceed to go to the kitchen.

"Pretty U?" He said then went to the living room and saw all of his members doing their own things. Some eating, some watching tv and some changing.

'Why do I feel like I've done this before?'
