"What if we're too late..." Mingi uttered. "Hey don't say that!" Jongho smacked his arm. Mingi winced in pain. "It would be nice if you had a little bit of hope Mingi" Willow said. They were currently driving around downtown. Mingi and Jongho sat in the back while Willow and Yunho sat in the front, whereas Yunho was driving.

"I do have hope! But I can't help but think of the bad outcome also" Mingi sulked. He missed his other friends. He was lucky enough to get separated with Yunho and Jongho. It was also surprising to him when they found Willow. Yunho was happy to see her, he never lets her out of his sight now.

Jongho shook his head. He didn't like the fact that everyone got separated either. He looked out the window as they went through a rough-looking neighborhood. "Do you guys see that?" Yunho asked. "See what?" Mingi asked, trying to look out the window. He pushed past Jonghos head and gasped. "I wonder who's in that house, I feel bad.." He remorse.

"Could you move?!" Jongho was annoyed at how Mingi just shoved him. Mingi rolled his eyes and sat back down in his spot. Jongho then turned to see what was happening. Zombies were all over a house, trying to break in. Jongho looked at the window that was at the top. He squinted and then a small nightstand went flying out. It landed on the passenger side door, which caused Yunho to jump and swerve to the side recklessly. He put the car to a halt.

"Is everyone ok?!" He asked worriedly. Everyone answered yes. He apologized to them before quickly getting out. The others soon followed him. Yunho hid behind the car, slowly making his way to the trunk. He popped it open and quickly took out a few arm guns and handed them out to the others. "Hey isn't that the same guy we saw a few days ago? Why is he climbing out the window? It's a bit high.." Mingi questioned. Yunho turned in the direction Mingi was pointing to. He could see the boy hanging from the window, looking unsure of jumping. Just then he saw a blue head pop out.

"Hongjoong hyung?!" Jongho shouted out in shock. The blue head popped its head up and smiled. "Oh my god! Guys, they're here!" Hongjoong said as he turned his head to look back inside. Just then, San, Yeosang, and Wooyoung popped their heads out as well. "Could you guys like please help?! I can't hang on any longer!" Seonghwa fussed. "I told you it was too high!" Hongjoong scolded. They pulled him back into the window. "Ok, Mingi and Jongho, you two take care of the front while Willow and I get the back, alright?" Yunho ordered. "Aye aye, captain," Mingi said as he started shooting the zombies. Jongho shook his head and followed the olders actions.

Willow and Yunho ran to the backyard, quickly shooting any zombies that were close enough in the head. Yunho wondered how they got themselves into this kind of situation.

"I say we throw her out the window to be our sacrifice" Yeosang suggested as he opened the window once again. San stood up and slammed it shut. "We are not sacrificing anyone Yeosang." Sans' voice was stern. "San! She wants you dead!" Wooyoung slapped his neck. San flinched and turned swiftly. "Hey, stop that!" Hongjoong sighed. "Either you tell her to stop this or that is exactly what we are doing," Hongjoong demanded. San sulked furthermore. "Hyung! Are you seriously taking their side?!" He asked frustratedly. "San! Why are you ignoring everyone's word right now? Dera wants you dead, eaten alive! She wants all of us dead! She sent these zombies here!" Wooyoung shook him back and forth, to get him to understand the situation.

"Sent? What do you mean by sent?" Seonghwa was ignoring the others but that certain sentence caught his attention. "Not right now, please. I want to get out of this house safely." Hongjoong rubbed his temples. He was getting stressed again. "San, she doesn't love you, she never did, let her go!" Wooyoung emphasizes each word. San pushed his hands away. "Wooyoung you're not making this any better.." He rubbed his eyes and turned to Dera.

"Why? After everything I did for you?" San was starting to finally get emotional. Dera just stared at him. "San, you are the most oblivious person I was to ever date. It's more impressive that you're secret admirer over here knew everything without anyone telling him" She laughed. Yeosangs lips pursed together as he glared at the girl.

"You think that's funny? I'll throw you out the window without any warning." Wooyoung threatened. He didn't like how Dera just kept disrespecting his friends and they didn't do anything about it, he finally had enough of it.

"Oh! The crybaby is finally toughing up again! And to think you were on my side..." Dera rolled her eyes at him. He went to take a step closer, but then the house started to shake. "Hyung! Everyone get out of the house now!" A voice yelled from downstairs. Everyone rushed downstairs to see Mingi and Jongho in the doorway. "Go on!" Soon everyone was out and the house crumbled down, with zombies inside.

"Is everyone ok?" Yunho asked looking around making sure everyone was safe. "Physically, yeah but I'm a little tired. Mentally? Not one bit." Seonghwa answered. Yeosang shoved him gently while the others eyed him concerned. "I was joking.." He mumbled. "Why'd the house crumble like that?" Willow asked, weirded out by how the house looked. Concrete was cracked and pieces of it were everywhere, glass was shattered, and wood was sticking out in piles. "The plan was to get you all to die in there.." Dera's eyes rolled once again. Wooyoung had enough. He pounced on her. Everyone started panicking, trying to pull the two away from each other. All except Seonghwa and Yeosang, they just watched in amusement.

"I like Wooyoung, one moment he's happy and giggles, then all pouty and upset, and now angry and ready to kill anyone he's threatened by." Seonghwa chuckled. "You'd be surprised how fast his mood changes, he's very protective of us. It's always been like that. Whenever San or I got picked on in school, guess who's the first one to stand up for us? Classic Jung Wooyoung!" Yeosang laughed.

"Let me kill her! She tried to kill us, it wouldn't be fair!" Wooyoung yelled out. Hongjoong, Jongho, and Yunho were holding him back while San, Mingi, and Willow were checking on Dera. "San, you've got to be kidding me. Why are still stuck up on her? Have you not realized that she-" Yeosang was about to go on with his harsh statement, but he quickly shut up when he saw the youngers fierce gaze, shooting daggers at him. "Yeosang, just because you have a crush on me doesn't mean you get to say anything hurtful about Dera! Sure she did something wrong but that doesn't mean anything!" San was in denial.

Wooyoung scoffed. "San, seriously, grow up. I too did not like Dera at all. No, I don't have a little crush on you like Yeosang, but because she's evil, sneaky, and a little smart mouth, I should've punched her there first. Anyways what I'm saying is, she was gonna kill us at the end, you dimwit. We thought you would've listened when we explained to you the first time." He sighed. The rest was confused.

"Woah, why are you two ganging up on San? Usually, it would be San and Yeosang doing that to Wooyoung" Yunho laughed awkwardly. "Now is not the time Yunho.." Hongjoong whispered to him. Yunho realized that it was more serious. "Well Wooyoung, you and Yeosang are evil too! But you don't see me abandoning you two!" San had yet to get his mind on the problem.

"San! Stop it, this is enough!" Hongjoong chimed in. He watched quietly, he could figure out through the way San was staring into nothing and continuously making excuses for Dera that something was seriously wrong. He quickly looked at Dera. "What did you do to him" His eyes went dark. If looks could kill, Dera would be nonexistent as of right now.

All the girl did was laugh. "He said what did you do to him" This time, Seonghwa stepped in. Pulling at her hair harshly, Dera screamed in agony. "Fine! I put a chip in him! He has to obey anything I tell him to do. Do you wonder why San abandoned you guys for me all these years? It's because I had him under my control" She laughed like a lunatic, soon screaming in more pain after Seonghwa tugged on her hair even harder. "You're just like your father.." Wooyoung muttered in disgust. Yeosang eyes him for a quick minute before realizing what the younger had said.

"She's Mr. Lims daughter?!" He asked shocked. Wooyoung nodded. "Everyone who works for him knows that, how come you didn't?" Yeosang shrugged. "I don't know but it makes so much sense now." Said Yeosang as he looks back down to see Dera struggling in Seonghwa's hold. Just then he lets go and walks to Yunho, calmly taking the gun out of his hand. He walks back to Dera and stands there for a moment before pointing it towards her. Straight at her head.

"S-Seonghwa what are you doing?" Everyone went stiff, too scared and shocked to go and save the girl, who was just as scared as everyone else. "Either you tell us how to get that chip out of him, or you die. Your choice." He says, looking her dead in the eye. "Okay! It's just behind his ear! Just tear it, but please don't kill me!" Dera pleaded. Yeosang immediately ran behind San, who now was in a daze, and swiftly tore the little chip from behind his ear. Everyone watched as San just stood there. "Is he ok? Why is he just standing there?" Mingi quietly asked. Jongho shrugged. "His.. eyes look like they're being... decoded?" Willow wasn't sure what she saw, but it wasn't something you'd find on your average human.

Everyone heard a click, attention immediately turning. "What's going on with him?" Seonghwa asked, but it was more demanding. "He's just m-malfunctioning.." Dera nervously eyed the man who stood above her. "...3....2..." He started to count down all of sudden. "He's reprogramming! He's gaining his memories from before!" She hurriedly explained to him. Seonghwa lowered the gun a little. "From before... what do you mean by that?" Yeosang asked, still not sure what Dera meant.

"I... I took some of his memories, only because the chip wouldn't work before I took them. Look I'm not such a bad person because I programmed the chip to give him his memories back when it was taken off of him, meaning I was going to take it off eventually!" She tried her hardest to defend herself. Yunho, Mingi, Jongho, and Willow just stood there confused and upset.

"Are you done talking? I'm getting tired honestly, it doesn't matter how much of a bad person you are, it's about how much greed and power you want, to hurt other people to get it." Seonghwa sighed and rubbed his forehead. Just then, San collapsed.

Yeosang hurriedly ran to his side, making sure he didn't lose any pulse. "He's still alive, just unconscious" He reassured. "Let's just leave, we found the others, and we're in town already, so let's just go," Hongjoong said tiredly. He was more worried for San at that point. He walked to the passenger side of the large car, while the others helped put San in the car.

Seonghwa was the only person who wasn't in the car yet. "C'mon Seonghwa, leave her here." Wooyoung stuck his head out the door of the car. Seonghwa lowered the gun down, walking away from Dera slowly. "Yea, just leave me here! Worse will come your way.. especially for you Park Seonghwa!" Dera was laughing like a maniac. Seonghwa just kept walking. He was about to get inside the car when a certain name was said. "I bet Therese would love to see her beloved boyfriend in hell."

Seonghwa snapped his head towards Dera. He quickly pulled the trigger back. "SEONGHWA NO!" Yeosang screamed

BOOM

Dera laid there, blood oozing out her head. Her eyes wore wide open. It took Seonghwa a while to calm down before he realized what he did. He hurriedly got inside the car, dropping his head onto his lap. He didn't want to kill the girl. She provoked him very harshly, it's not his fault.

is it..?
