꧁⎝ 𓇢𓆸Infected Mizi!!𓉸ྀི ⎠꧂

Ever since you were little you and Mizi were close.

It feels like it had been forever, you've known eachother since you were in the 6th grade of middle school.

When you saw Mizis bright smile, her dazzling amber eyes that changed colours from green to a stunning yellow in the faint light of the sun, her short pink pixie cut she had, all the short strands of her hair sticking out messily in its own charming kind of way, her passion for singing and becoming a k-pop idol, not to forget those goofy glasses she used to wear before switching to lenses, you knew that right there in that moment, you have found the love of your life.

As you and Mizi grew up you never really left eachothers sides. In fact you guys were inseperable! You guys used to do all kinds of mischievous things...secret hang outs in the park, making out behind the school yard while skipping class together, cheating on tests together just because one of you just so happend to not know the question.The thrill of it, the deep passionate affection behind even something as little as glancing at eachother with that glint in both of your eyes...god it was amazing.

Shuch wonderful blooming delight as one of a clematis flower, could only last oh so long before it slowly turned into cold bitter ashes. A cruel reminder of once the sweet candy flavour of your shared love on your tounge, only for the sweet spark of it to turn into the sweetest and most bruising scar of your life.

You never really had any goals or dreams besides staying with Mizi, or admiring Mizi.., or pampering Mizi..., or...well yeah your whole world was revolving around this girl. Unlike you though, Mizi had other dreams and goals, like becoming a successful and famous k-pop idol one day! You didn't really care about it much but when she grabbed your hand with that glint in her eyes while holding up her phone, the screen lighting up with a k-pop audition forum, you couldn't reject her. Besides you'll become k-pop idols together!!! Wouldn't that be so fun??

Ever since that day, you and Mizi have been practicing becoming k-pop idols for god knows how long.

You started off small, doing some photo shoots, posting some popular k-pop dances you've both learnt together, prepping your voice by singing a few high and deep notes each day, before finally you guys gained enough attention to apply to some auditions.

Your first few tries weren't the best to say the least.

Mizi always ended up messing up on one of the dances, accidentally tripping over, doing the wrong dance move, or just completely blacking out forgetting the next dance move. Meanwhile, on the other hand, you were precise with your moves though your weaknesses showed when you sang. Whenever you'd raise your voice to the highest syllable you could it would always crack, you'd accidentally go a note too high or low then you should've, or you'd just run out of breath.

That didn't stop the two of you from trying though, matter of fact...It only made you more determinded.

─────────୨ৎ──────────

This time you guys got the chance to audition for a huge company. You don't even know how you managed to slip yourselves into that audition, but that just meant you had to try even harder.

Mizi went up before you. She started singing and dancing, her voice was angelic and cute, the kind of voice that would make you fall asleep in seconds. Paired with her charming personality, her beautiful luscious long pink strands of hair and her beautiful appearance she managed to get some good criteria, except for the fact she tripped while dancing.

You went up ahead next. You could feel a strange lump in your throat. Perhaps you could sense that this wasn't gonna go to well. Or maybe you were just nervous. Either way when it was your turn to preform for the judges, you started off confident, firm and strong. Singing the most beautiful and complex notes you've ever known to have been able to your whole life. You gave off some moves too. It was going well. Untill you reached that note. The one you always got stuck on during practice. 'Impossible.' You thought to yourself. You knew you could hit it... You DID hit it! How come...now you couldn't?! You froze in your position. The judges gave you a weird look, telling you their own criteria about your performance before dismissing you.

You anxiously came back to Mizi clinging to her. As long as you were by her side, what the judges said didn't matter, right?

About a whole damn hour of waiting later, the judges called everyone back to announce who passed off onto the other stages of auditioning. You could hear them yelling out a couple of names. Some of them were told they 'lacked talent' others were told that they 'had potential'. Mizis name was called out also. She was one of the first ones they announced as "Talented enough to pass". You could feel a slight weight on your chest easen up. That ease didnt last long though, suddenly you heard your name being called, your ears perked up, you raised your head up nervously at the judges, waiting.

"{{User}}, your performance was good, but you don't seem to have the vocal skills we acquired, therefore we must reject you from auditioning farther on."

You froze. 'How could this have been possible??..Mizi.. she..she was gonna perform...all alone now...? Well not really. There will be other members there... but they're not you! You are her partner, her beloved!' But Mizi didint budge on it. Sure, she was quite devastated at the news but, this was her one and only chance! She couldn't just back out NOW!

You could feel a slight ache at your heart. You were quite hurt, but you understood where Mizi was coming from. Besides, this was her childhood dream, you didn't really have any other dreams besides being with her, you decided that you'll just be there by her side, supporting her like the loving partner you are.

─────────୨ৎ──────────

It had been a few months since Mizi's and her groups debut, you've been to all the concerts, listened to all the songs and kept supporting Mizi. Even though you could see it in her gaze. She was tired,she also had lost a lot of pounds compared to the Mizi you knew months ago, you didn't know her weight, but it was visible enough on her overworked, fragile body. You didn't like seeing her like this, drained of life, completely destroyed, and most importantly, out of your reach.

Even if you always were right beside her, supported her, you felt like you were slowly losing your whole universe, the only thing keeping you from tearing apart into fragile peices. Something a god could crush in just a few seconds.

Today though, was no ordinary day. It was August 20th, her birthday. You walked up to the backstage after one of her performances, surprising her with a bouquet of flowers neatly wrapped in a plastic purple wrapping. Mizi barley took a single glance at them before tossing them aside to one of her assistants. She thanked you and all, but it didn't feel sincere at all, almost as if she was programmed to do this. You did linger there for too long. You couldn't stand the humiliation and the staff probably would've kicked you out not too long after, considering how busy she is. You were better off just leaving.

─────────୨ৎ──────────

You kept letting her slip away for months before eventually snapping one day, this day you could hold it in anymore, as you were walking outside, near an abandoned street alley with Mizi beside you, you slapped the cigarette she was holding out of her hand before clutching her wrists gripping onto her desperately screaming into her face.

"Mizi I cant keep watching this! You- you're destroying yourself right infront of me and I can't do anything about it! Can't you just stop!?! Don't you see how this is hurting me, I'm trying my best to keep in touch with you but it's like you don't listen! You never listen to me anymore, do you?! Can you just stop being so selfi-"

You yelled, but before you could continue saying the word 'selfish', you felt a sharp sting of a well swung slap across your face. Before you could say anything back, Mizi backed away from you, gripping the strands of her long, pink hair in frustration

"{{User}} I don't listen?! Do you hear yourself?! {{User}}, you don't know SHIT about me!- Can't you just shut up for once and just!-"

Mizi yelled back at you before laughing to herself, it wasn't a laugh coming from some kind of joy or happiness, that was for sure. It was more so like some kind of a desperate call for help, clinging to hope before everything broke apart.

"You know what?! I don't give a fuck anymore I really don't I just!-"

She lashed out again before scrambling off the valley running off as fast as she could. She didn't know where her steps were taking her, she didn't care, right now all she wanted to do was just keep going untill she dissapeared from the face of the earth.

You stood frozen in your place watching all of what just happened in complete disbelief. You glared at the corner of the valley where you last saw her figure before she ran off God knows to where.

As you stared, you could see a strange figure following after her. It was walking like a complete weirdo, like some man who has been on some heavy drugs or something, the sight looked unsettling and the person didnt look any less unsettling either. It looked like they were missing some of their limbs and other parts of their body, you weren't even that close to them but you could feel the bad odor coming from them. The smell was one as of like a decaying body. Your eyes widened at the realization. Could it be that..that the news were true? You did remember seeing some bullshit about zombies roaming on the news..., but everything that news reports reported these days were all mostly just some lies or made up drama. You didn't think something as serious as this was actually real. You didn't move. You couldn't. You wanted to but God you couldn't forget what Mizi just said to you. The way she slapped you and ran off like that. The bitterness of the moment didn't let you move or do anything about it, so you didn't.

─────────୨ৎ──────────

Later on the day the guilt was eating at you, so much so, you couldn't stop thinking about it. You were researching everything about all the news found on the zombies before you stopped at one title 'K-pop idol found infected'. You immediately clicked on it, this had to be a sign of where Mizi could be. This article had to be about Mizi. And your guts were right, even though it was stated nowhere which k-pop idol it was, according to the information given in the report, the detailes matched up with the occurring events of today well enough for you to know it's Mizi. You didn't waste a second. You put on a mask,a purple hoodie over your head and tied your hair in a ponytail. You were determined to find her.

─────────୨ৎ──────────

As you reached an abandoned building which was guided by a few police officers and taped in caution tape you knew you found the right place. Though the fact they kept a zombie somewhere as messy as this dumpsters old building basement kinda bugged you. But you guessed it makes sense since the authorities surely wouldn't want these "things" where they were. You crouched under the caution tape, squeezing trough tight corners and risky routs as you'd didn't wanna get caught. You managed to do so before stumbling upon a heart wrenching sight. There she was. Your Mizi. Her wrists and ankles tied tight to an office chair, tape carelessly wrapped all over her head, her breathing coming out in uneaven, heavy gasps, as her body shivered beneath where you stood.

"Fuck...Its all my fault."

You muttered underneath the mask to yourself silently, as you watched her helpless limp body. Maybe if you werent so selfish or if you never failed the audition, things wouldn't go this way? But it was too late now anyways.
