“Fuck yeah!” Jisung cheers as the armoured fire truck goes crashing into the horde of zombies. He has a grenade launcher on his shoulder—which you told him would be overkill—with his torso stuck out of the makeshift sunroof of the vehicle. Beside him is Changbin holding a hunting rifle that he had ransacked from a cabin that he found on the way to the area that your team had turned into a camp.
Luckily for Jisung and Changbin’s chaotic tendencies, Minho had appeared at the camp a few months after the news had broken; a zombie apocalypse as the result of a biochemical experiment gone wrong.
While you and Jisung had been together at the time of the announcement, you weren’t exactly given much time to save your families, so you both ran to your nearest friend’s house; Seungmin.
Albeit a quiet kid, he had quite the zombie-apocalypse-ready stash of weapons and food in his basement. The three of you armed yourselves with the only three guns that he had; a shotgun, a hunting rifle, and a handgun.
Unfortunately for the three of you, the house got broken into—despite having been barricaded heavily—which led to you leaving with whatever supplies you could carry and Seungmin’s car. You drove aimlessly, charging through hordes of zombies until you came across a pair of guys that seemed to have the same idea as the three of you.
Chan and Hyunjin were running away from the zombies as well, but a few months of living in the apocalypse gave them enough time to set up a base camp not far from where your paths had collided, and the two were kind enough to take you back.
There, you had met three others; Jeongin, Felix, and Changbin.
And not long after, Minho showed up. He knew his ways around cars, and with Hyunjin’s military experience, it was enough for the two of them to start heavily armouring up whatever vehicles in the vicinity to get them durable enough to withstand the zombies.
While those two were busy armouring up your vehicles, Felix had taken it upon himself to scooch on over to your side of the camp… where he ended up winning your heart over the course of a few months and also turning the two of you into the designated drivers of a very specific fire truck.
Which also leads to your situation now; Jisung firing grenades into the distance while Changbin fires his rifle without much care in the world. You sit in the passenger seat with Felix behind the wheel.
For some unknown reason, your group had decided that going into the horde of zombies, to quote Minho, ‘Mad Max style’, would be a good opportunity to save any other people in your vicinity. You have your window rolled down and your own rifle aimed out to shoot any zombies which could possibly grip onto the sides of the vehicle while Felix drives carelessly with the siren blasting.
It’s exhilarating knowing that the world is truly ending and that, at this point, you guys aren’t even trying to survive anymore. You’re just living out your lives until the inevitable end.
And as Seungmin had put it, “no one cares if we live or die. Let’s at least die having fun.”
“I can’t even see where I’m fucking going,” Felix huffs when the horde of zombies only seems to become larger, the loud banging and groaning getting louder from the outside.
“Does it even matter? We’re driving down a highway. I doubt that we’d even crash into anything bigger than a streetlamp,” you comment. Just as you finish talking, an explosion happens in the distance and it sends you and Felix shouting curses of confusion, shock, and panic.
“Sorry!” Jisung squeaks as he and Changbin crawl back into the vehicle and shut the sunroof.
“Ji saw a blockage in the front, so he decided to blow it up,” Changbin explains nonchalantly.
“A warning would’ve been nice,” Felix grumbles.
“There was no time. If I waited any longer, the firetruck would’ve been hit,” Jisung answers with a shrug.
You exchange a glance with Felix, one that says you honestly can’t blame Jisung because, to some degree, he has a point.
“Don’t say anything,” he laughs when he sees the look on your face. “I don’t care if Ji has a point. I want a heads up next time.”
“Yes, sirree,” Jisung salutes with a giggle.
“We’re only supposed to be back at base camp in an hour and we’re here blowing up the highway,” you chuckle.
“It’s not like anyone is going to be using it anytime soon. This highway was barricaded by the police when the outbreak first started,” Changbin claims as he looks outside the front window, his lips pursing together and smacking when he sees the way they disappear under the fire truck. “But, you know…” he raises his hand to point out of the window, where a zombie in a police uniform just so happens to slam against the windshield.
“Yikes,” Jisung sucks his breath in through his teeth.
“Hey, honey, how long do you think it’ll take for us to get back at this speed?” Felix asks as he glances at you.
“At the speed we’re going and the horde we’re facing, we should be back in half an hour if we have enough gas.”
“Hyunjin filled up the truck right before we left, so we should be good until we get back,” Changbin claims.
Silence settles between all of you and you relish in the momentary peace which comes extremely rare when Jisung and Changbin are together with their choice of weapons.
At least until Jisung starts getting antsy again, “am I allowed to fire the grenade launcher?”
“As long as you don’t aim it in front where you could get all of us killed,” you nod.
“Yes!”
He’s quick to his feet, pushing open the sunroof and sticking half of himself out.
“Should we tell him that the water tank is still full and that the water cannon is still usable?” Felix laughs.
“They’ll figure it out,” you hum as you stretch your arms over your head before clasping them behind your head.
“Holy shit! A water cannon!” Changbin gasps excitedly right before you and Felix see water spritzing out from above the windshield.
“You know, when the zombies hit, I never thought that I would be able to become a parent at all,” you joke.
“Hey, neither did I. But we might as well get married at this point and adopt both of them.” You turn your head to look at him fully and smile.
“I’m not opposed to getting married. What else do we have to lose? I love you.”
“I love you, too.” Felix turns his head to you as well and leans closer, ready to press a kiss to your lips before Jisung’s screeching violently interrupts you.
“Eyes on the road, Lee!”
“He’s too busy smooching with (Y/n)!” Changbin laughs hysterically. Felix’s body tenses up as he returns his attention to the road, not without letting out a laugh.
You laugh as well, placing your hand on his shoulder gently.
“We can kiss when we get home.”
