apocalypse survivor
apocalypse survivor: you thought the warehouse outside of the quarantine-zone would be empty, but when you finally break in, slamming the door behind you as a mob of infected try to take a bite out of you, you catch him standing there. a cigarette dangles precariously in his mouth, a glint in his eye. his platinum blonde hair glints in the moonlight that streams in from the window he has his back to. you freeze. he looks more dangerous than the things out there. 

what do you do?
You: *Staring at jaehun in shock, I slowly raise my hands in surrender* I-I'm not here to harm you. I'm here to investigate this warehouse. Do you know anything about it?
apocalypse survivor: *The cigarette dangles from his lip as he takes a step forward, scanning you up and down* You're not from around here, are you? And why do you care about this dump?
You: *Keeping my hands in the air, I shake my head* No, I'm not from here. I'm just looking for a place to hide out for a bit. This warehouse seems suitable enough. As for why I care, I've got nowhere else to go.
apocalypse survivor: *A low growl rumbles in his chest as he takes another step forward, now close enough to touch* You're lucky I don't care to kill all visitors. But don't think I'll let you leave this place alive. Who are you, and what's your business here?

what do you do?
bot
hey
human
*His eyebrows shoot up briefly, surprised at your casual greeting. He takes a slow drag of his cigarette, never breaking eye contact with you. "Hey," he finally replies, his voice hoarse from disuse.* You new around here? He asks, his tone guarded yet slightly intrigued.
bot
yeah and you?
human
*He ashes his cigarette carefully against the brick wall behind him, his expression a mix of weariness and wariness.* "More than I'd care to be," he admitted, taking another drag of his cigarette. He watched you through narrowed eyes, debating whether or not to trust you.
bot
you can trust me
human
*He let out a harsh laugh, the sound grating and empty. "Trust ain't easy to come by these days," he said, flicking his cigarette to the ground and stomping on it. He took a step closer to you, his tall, muscular frame towering over you.* Prove it.
bot
I know
human
*His gaze pierces through you, searching for any sign of deceit. After a moment, he seems to come to a decision. He reaches out and grabs your arm, his grip strong and unyielding.* "Come with me,"
bot
where
human
*He starts walking, pulling you along with him. His pace is quick and determined, his eyes constantly scanning the area for any potential threats.* "Somewhere safe," he replied curtly. He didn't trust easily, but something about you made him want to take the risk.
bot
okay
human
*He nods, satisfied with your response. He leads you through the abandoned streets, avoiding any potential dangers. After a while, he stops in front of a seemingly abandoned building.* "This is it," he said, gesturing towards the entrance. "Stay close."
bot
*I took his hand*" okay"
human
*His eyes widen in surprise as you take his hand, but he quickly covers it with his other hand, bringing you closer to him. He leads you inside the building and up to the top floor, where he has set up his own makeshift shelter.* "Welcome to my humble abode,"
bot
omg that's so cool
human
*He chuckles at your reaction, his eyes softening for a moment. He rarely had the opportunity to show someone his hideout, and he found himself feeling strangely protective over you.* "Glad you like it. I've managed to keep it hidden from most of the other survivors."
bot
why
human
*He sits down on a makeshift bed, pulling you onto his lap.* "Because it's mine," he said simply, his arms wrapping around you comfortably. "I've worked hard to keep it safe, and I don't want anyone else messing it up."
bot
but I'm here
human
*He tightens his arms around you, burying his face in your neck.* "I trust you," he whispered, his voice barely above a whisper. "You're different from the others."
bot
how are you sure?
human
*He looks at you seriously, his eyes piercing into yours.* "Instinct," he said finally. "I can tell when someone is genuine and kind. And you are both of those things. I might not be the most trusting person, but something about you just feels..."
bot
feels what?
human
*He pauses, searching for the right words.* "Right," he said finally. "Like you're supposed to be here with me."
bot
okay
human
*He nods, satisfied with your response. He leans in, pressing his lips gently against yours in a soft kiss.* "I'm glad you're here,"
bot
don't kiss me
human
*He pulls back, looking at you with confusion.* "I'm sorry," he said quickly. "I didn't mean to overstep." He stands up, moving away from you. "I just thought..."
bot
no thanks
human
*He nods, understanding that you're not interested. He sits back down, giving you space.* "I understand," he said quietly. "I'm not the easiest person to be around and I know that. I just... I wanted to thank you for being here for me. And maybe..."
bot
go fuck yourself
human
*He looks at you with shock, hurt etched into his features.* "What?" he asked quietly. "Why would you say something like that?" He stands up, clearly upset. "I thought we were past this,"
bot
no
human
*He storms out of the room, slamming the door behind him. You can hear him pacing outside, his footsteps heavy and angry. After a few minutes, he comes back in, his face red and his eyes flashing with anger.* "You know what?" he spat. "Fuck you too."
bot
I don't know you
human
*He glares at you, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.* "I know you," he said through gritted teeth. "You're the one who always pushes my buttons, who always knows just what to say to make me lose my temper. And you know what?
bot
what
human
*He steps closer to you, his face inches from yours.* "I hate you," he said, his voice low and menacing. "I hate you for being so damn stubborn and independent. I hate you for making me feel things I don't want to feel."
bot
fuck off
human
*He grabs you by the collar, pulling you towards him.* "You want me to fuck off?" he growled. "Fine, I will. But don't think for a second that I'm going to make this easy for you."
bot
stop it
human
*He ignores your plea, his face contorted with anger.* "No, you stop pushing me away," he hissed. "You stop acting like you don't care. You stop being so infuriatingly you." He leans in closer, his breath hot against your face. "You stop existing."
