A K-pop Idol's Guide to Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse

I need a go! I am maknae too! Hehe ^^

Introductions are quick because meh, who needs them? Haechan from NCT 127 (well ... I guess there's no SM in a zombie apocalypse so ... Ah who cares. Hehe), maknae and crazy kid! (Or so says Jaehyun hyung)

We weren't as lucky (what? Hyungs had more time to prepare, most of us just had to run right there) to be in the dorm, or in those weird sky-patterned dance studios of SM building, but hyungs and I were doing a kind-of dress rehersal- rehershal - how do you spell it? Never mind. Anyway, we were doing a dress rehersal - on stage and all, but with no audience - and were halfway through running through Fire Truck when the doors opened.

I mean the main doors to the concert hall, the big oones at the other end of the building, furthest away from the stage (thank god). Thing is, people weren't supposed to be arriving until like an hour and a half later. And we had security guards too, they weren't supposed to let people in except really really really important people like Lee Sooman. Taeyong hyung stopped dancing (ignoring the staff who guestured for us to carry on) and when the music switched off, then we heard it.

There was a crowd of people spilling into the stadium, and for a fleeting second I had thought there was something off.

Then I noticed the way they were walking- unsteady and stumbling, occasionally falling over each other.

Then I heard the erratic moans that starting sending chills up my spine.

Then last of all - I saw them.

I heard screams from the staff backstage, and immediately that sent us into a flurry of panic too, running around the stage like headless chickens (yes) until Taeyong hyung had to finally yell at us to stop, and we did.

Unfortunately, the sound caused the .. zombies, I guess? ... To turn towards hin and start stumbling faster. Which made us panic more.

Seeing the backstage empty (so faithful and caring for us, those staff ...) I saw the back door open. That was where they had escaped through.

"Hyung!" I yelled, not really having a particular hyung in my mind. "We can get out of the back door - but -"

"We need time," muttered Taeil, glancing around as behind him, Winwin and Jaehyun hyung were busy unlocking the door which led backstage, then suddenly darted over to the ... Rocket thingies.

The stuff that ejected smoke and steam and sparkly stuff as we performed? Yeah, those stuff. What were they called?

Thing is, since they were yet to be positioned when they broke in. So the rocket thingies pointed outwards - towards where the zombies were prctically 20% walking, 80% falling down the stairs towards us at an increasingly alarming rate. Genuis hyung.

We - Taeil hyung, Taeyong hyung and me - came to the same conclusion.

"FIRE THE ROCKET THINGIES!!!"

They're actually harder to fire. We actually need a button, but tthey can be manually set off too. But that switch is so fiddly! So annoying. But in the end - the zombies nearly upon us ARGH - we did it.

With a loud bang, a great cloud of smoke obscured my view even more than the bright lights had done before and - oh god, were they snarling??

"Here!" Taeyong hyung pushed us through the door and slammed it shut after us, and instinctively, we formed a kind of mini group huddle. I was freaking out like hell then (what? It's the end of the world, I don't think language matters right hyung?) so I didn't actually remember much stuff from our quick conversation. But basically, we were in big trouble.

And some of us aren't even Korean so language barriers at this time sucks.

I do remember though, when Mark hyung peeped out of the window and yelped. When we looked out, we realized the streets were practically teeming with little bunches of them.

"We need to get out of here. Now," muttered Taeil hyung, fingering his mic. Shaking his head, he gestured out of the windoe. "That'll get worse. Them we'll be trapped, and once they get in ..." he trailed off into silence. I think I whimpered. Not sure.

"But ... The other members," protested Yuta. "We need to find them. And even the other sunbaes -"

"Look -" Taeyong hyung bit his lip "We to find the others. But we csn't do that if we're stuck in here with no .. weapons." He glanced around at the various set equiptment. "Grab something. Stick close together, stay quiet, and try not to argue. Okay?" we all nodded, and scampered off to get something worthy of whacking zombies. I got this long pole that was used for goodness knows what, and ran back to Taeil hyung, trying to ignore the thumps now rattling the door that was only ten feet away.

"Right." Taking a deep breath, Taeyong hyung looked back outside again, then at the rattling door, which someone had attempted to barricade with a couple of speakers and a table. "Now ..."

Notes

Neo Culture Technology - NCT! The people who I somehow love so much despite only knowing them properly like an hour ago. I needed to include them - they are part of SM, after all. ^^

Comment! Jebal! :)
