"Let me die!" Jimin shouted.
"Stop it will you?" Gyeongsu shouted at her.
"There is nobody left in this world with me. Don't act like you understand me. Don't tell me what to do. You don't know what it's like being me," Jimin spat. Namra and Chang-Hoon shared glances at each other, looking at each other, scanning each other faces before shrugging.
"We don't," Onjo said, "But-"
"So don't act like you know me enough. You never. I am telling you would never understand me," Jimin spat. Onjo sighed before starting to say things about her father.
"Not everything must be about you. I never had a real father, maybe I don't understand but... What about the others? Their parents? Their parents might be in the same exact situation as you. So, if they are trying to survive, you should too," Hee-young said quietly as she looked at Jimin, before pulling Jimin away from the window, "I can't stop you if you want to jump down but jumping down is probably another worse death. Once you jump, high chance you will rot worser than those zombies."
Jimin looked down once again before walking away. Hee-young let out a sigh before walking next to Suhyeok.
"Hee-young... I want to ask you something... Do you have anyone you like?" Suhyeok gulped as he asked the question. Hee-young looked at him, blankly.
"No," the girl said before looking back at Chang-Hoon and Namra who were staring at each other, smiling. Suhyeok bit the inside of his mouth as he continues to stare at the girl. "They like each other."
"Huh," Suhyeok asked as he got confused. Hee-young turned her head, pointing at Chang-Hoon and Namra. Suhyeok nodded his head.
"We can't stay here forever," Gyeongsu said. Hee-young looked around trying to find something that could help them.
"Speakers," Hee-young suggested.
"I think I have a plan to escape. This is where we are. This is where Cheong-san is. If we turn our music only on this speaker, the zombies will go left. Then we'll take the stairs on the right, get Cheong-san, and go to the roof using the center stairs," Namra said as she opened the map.
"But why the roof?"
"Choppers keep flying around. If we light a roof fire, they might come save us," Namra explained. Chang-Hoon looked at her, proudly. Namra looked at him a bit before blushing.
"Can we turn on only the speakers we need?" Onjo asked. Namra nodded.
"Nam-ra, you were in the broadcasting club, right?"
"Uh yeah, my mom made me," Namra said.
"That's good," Onjo muttered.
"Where do we get the music? There isn't any internet nor any internet device," Hyo-ryung said. Namra pointed at the disc over there.
"This is ancient. Will it work?" Daesu asked.
"It will work. It is just that you don't know how to use it," Hee-young butted in. They all looked at her. "What? Just commenting." Then there was this sound that erked them for one moment.
"I never done that before."
"Neither have I."
"Daesu, do it," Hyo-ryung suggested.
"Here goes nothing. Uh, mic test. One, two. One, two. Cheong-san, are you there? We..." Daesu's voice trailed off.
"What are you doing? H... Hey. Cheongsan, do you hear us? It's Suhyeok. We'll come to you, so stay put. Got it? Don't come, moron. You're gonna get bit. I know what you'll say, but we can't hear you here," Suhyeok took over.
"What the hell are you doing, Baresu," Daesu said.
"So don't go anywhere. Wait for us. You really can't go anywhere, okay? We'll come now," Suhyeok said. With that, Hee-young went over to the table, trying to find some protection needs.
"Anyway, let's go. The smell of shit makes me wanna hurl," Daesu complained.
"Dude, it's your shit," Wujin said.
"It's not just mine," Daesu tried to defend.
"Yes, it is," Wujin continued to fire back.
"Really?" Daesu questions and Suhyeok nodded his head.
"Cheong-san. Please stay still. I know you never listen to me, but please do it this time," Onjo said, after trying to fight for the mic for the longest time. Hee-young looked back at them before sighing.
"Yah, what would you think of me and Namra being together?" Chang-Hoon suddenly popped out of nowhere, asking that dumb question.
"I think you guys will be a very loving couple. If y'all choose to go on a date right now, I can suggest that you go on a zombie day yeah," Hee-young said, as she went to tie up her hair. Chang-Hoon scoffed.
"As if you and Suhyeok aren't making any progress," Chang-Hoon mentioned, smirking. Hee-young's eyes widen as she heard that and she started to punch him and Chang-Hoon started to defend himself.
"Why are we handling two kids here?" Gyeongsu questions as he sees the two fighting. Wujin shrugged.
"Why isn't it working," Daesu asked as Namra placed the disc in the machine, waiting for the music to sound.
"Time for meditation. Once again, another fun day at school."
"It is not a fun day today. I don't feel like meditating either," Hee-young muttered as she continued to kill Chang-Hoon, "Do not mention about that thing ever again."
"Everyone, close your eyes and calm your hearts."
Chang-Hoon shook his head, "I think that you should face your feelings."
"Shibal," Hee-young muttered, giving Chang-Hoon a head-lock.
"Namra, turn off the right and middle speakers," Onjo ordered. Namra nodded her head, turning off the speakers. Suhyeok continued to stare at Hee-young.
"The speakers are working."54Please respect copyright.PENANAURfonTKIlw
"Is there any chance we can go to the cafeteria? I need food," Chang-Hoon whined, "Ouch, can you not pull my hair." Hee-young pulled his hair like it was a normal day. "I am going to go bald soon at this rate." Daesu tried to walk outside and was running back inside, locking the door.
"Shit, shit, shit," Daesu mumbled.
"You said it was safe outside? Why did you come back," Wujin asked.
"There is one outside, banging the head against the wall again and again," Daesu said, pointing over to the direction where there was a zombie who looks very stupid, banging it's head against the wall repeatedly.
"That is what we define the word stupid," Chang-Hoon said.
"You are the definition of stupid," Hee-young simply said as she looked at the zombie. Chang-Hoon looked at her, offended. "No need to be offended. You know it is the truth."
"Everyone else followed the sound, but he's still there by himself," Joon-yeong said.54Please respect copyright.PENANA6fUibedIbI
"Maybe he is deaf," Daesu suggested.
"That fucker is already dead, how is he suppose to hear?" Wujin questions.
"Let's just make a run for it. The music will end soon," Gyeongsu suggested, totally bored.
"GO!" The door was opened and they made a run for it. Suhyeok quickly held onto Hee-young's hand while Chang-Hoon held onto Namra's. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAyhnGWZQwXd
Clang!54Please respect copyright.PENANA3shGgSPRCz
Joon-yeong's bottle made a loud noise as it falls to the ground, capturing the attentions of the zombies.54Please respect copyright.PENANALDrSJIWxg0
"Shit, run," Suhyeok muttered as they ran as fast as they could.
"Up, up, up," Gyeongsu shouted as he quickly kicked the zombies away from Hyo-ryung and Jimin. Wujin had to pull Daesu here and there to make sure that he doesn't get bit. Suhyeok was about to go up when a zombie leapt and went for him. Hee-young tried to pull the zombie away while Suhyeok tried to kick it.
A light push was given to Hee-young as she looked at the person. Gwinam... He yanked the zombie away from Suhyeok.
"You moron. Total loser, huh?" Gwinam said. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAM3XzjmaV7q
"Thank you," Suhyeok muttered.
"Of course. I saved your ass. I'm looking for Cheongsan," Gwinam said.54Please respect copyright.PENANAoNJ0AdcXZw
"Cheongsan? For what?" Suhyeok questions.
"Gwinam, what happened to your eye? Is it infected?" Hee-young asked as she walks forward to Gwinam.
"Quite fine actually. I need Cheongsan for death," Gwinam said, "You alright?" Hee-young nodded her head as she looked at Gwinam.
"People reeked of alcohol, you reeked of blood," Hee-young said.
"Wait, what do you mean by death," Suhyeok interrupted.
"I'm killing him," Gwinam said. Hee-young's eyes widen.54Please respect copyright.PENANA3VeikZkYHa
"Why would you kill him? Even in an apocalypse, you want to kill people, amazing," Hee-young said. Suhyeok held Hee-young's hand, making her stand behind him.
"You were always like that. Isn't that right? "Do this." "Don't do that." Always ordering me around. It's okay, though. You fought better than I did. But you can't do that anymore," Gwinam smirked, "You're nothing special and the fact that you are keeping Hee-young away from me when I have been taking care of her." He strangled Suhyeok constantly as Hee-young got pushed away from him. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAt5h3d2vD8c
Namra came running down with Chang-Hoon behind her.
"Yah, Yoon Gwinam!" Chang-Hoon shouted, attracting the zombies. Namra ran to Hee-young and was checking if she was fine. Chang-Hoon gave Gwinam a punch, "Yah! You out of all people should know that no one touches Hee-young!"
"Fucker," Gwinam muttered, "Shut up. At least she kissed me, unlike you who never ever had one!" This made Chang-Hoon angrier, he wanted to punch him one more time when Gwinam started to strangle him. Suhyeok tried to go over to help but was kicked away. Hee-young quickly stood up and was kicking Gwinam. Namra sighed before wrapping her arms around Gwinam's neck, hoping that he would choke.
Instead, Gwinam took the opportunity to bite Namra's arm, making her yelp in pain. Hee-young's eyes widen as she sees that before biting him back. Gwinam yelled out as he let go of Chang-Hoon. He looked at Hee-young in rage and wanted to bite her when Suhyeok pushed him off the building and out of the window.
Hee-young went over to Namra who was staring at the bite. Hee-young gave her an assuring smile as she held onto her, Suhyeok shared looks with Chang-Hoon before bringing the two girls to the music room, with zombies chasing after them.
"Go, go. Get in the room!" Suhyeok shouted at the group where they were searching for the four. They quickly close the curtains.
"There's a zombie there. It's caught under a piano, so it can't go anywhere," Cheongsan warned them. 54Please respect copyright.PENANALycPDm9XJy
"We can't go to the roof. We are once again trapped again," Hyo-ryung sighed.
"Namra, is that a bite?" Onjo questions.
"Move, Chang-Hoon. I am being nice to you right now," Cheongsan said, holding the music stand, ready to hit Namra. Hee-young touched her mouth as she saw the blood of Gwinam that she bite him. The blood stained her teeth.
"Tell him. You weren't bitten by a zombie," Chang-Hoon said.54Please respect copyright.PENANAc42uHYlgpr
"Gwinam. He bit her. It wasn't zombies. The bully," Suhyeok added.54Please respect copyright.PENANAljfBQWDzfR
"Gwinam was bitten by zombies," Cheongsan said. Hee-young looked at Cheongsan in shock. "I saw him get bit. If you get bitten by zombies, you turn into one."54Please respect copyright.PENANAKs2D0o2i8c
"Then..."
"He's not one of them. Gwi-nam wasn't a zombie. He wasn't. He literally talked to me, Hee-young and Suhyeok," Chang-Hoon said. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAUXCBHNsQop
"Did you see Gwinam getting bitten by the zombies?" Namra asked, Cheongsan nodded, "Then I'll turn."
"What? No. You won't. If you turn... What will happen to me? I sort of drank his blood... Not really drink though," Hee-young muttered to Namra.
"I don't think that is how it usually works," Namra said back, "Thank you everyone. I'll leave."54Please respect copyright.PENANAdcCjq72l93
"Hey, Namra!" Chang-Hoon shouted.
"Hey, prez," Suhyeok shouted. The two looked at each other before looking back at the class president.
"She won't turn into one. Don't you trust me?" Chang-Hoon defended.54Please respect copyright.PENANAdVhLzR9DZJ
"Don't you trust me? I saw when Gwinam got bitten. It happened after fighting with me," Cheongsan insisted. 54Please respect copyright.PENANA8yeHJRe3zi
"I fought him too. Believe me," Suhyeok said. Chang-Hoon sighed before grabbing Namra's wrist and intertwining them.54Please respect copyright.PENANAYZy4SozVUo
"You see? If she turns, I'll throw her out the window, so she can't attack you. So back off," Chang-Hoon spat. Namra wasn't meant to be blushing right now but she did. Chang-Hoon and Cheongsan kept on bickering till Namra had enough of it. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAf6wWl4JMzQ
"Stop it, both of you! If I feel strange in any way... I'll just end it quickly," Namra said, calming down after that, "Chang-Hoon, Kill me if I turn."54Please respect copyright.PENANAev8SDIb815
"Hey! Hey! That's enough. She should've turned by now," Onjo interrupted. 54Please respect copyright.PENANApBoTbE9LQc
"Not yet," Cheongsan said.
"She won't turn, she just got bitten by Gwinam, that asshole... Namra, if you turn, do make sure you bring Chang-Hoon along. He has been stealing my cigarettes recently and I am not happy about it. Also, another reason why you should push him down with you is so that I don't need to deal with him, crying just because you died," Hee-young said, as she looked at the two.
Chang-Hoon constantly blinked at Hee-young and she just shrugged.
"Hee-young... What did Gwinam meant you kissed him," Suhyeok mumbled. Hee-young looked at him and just looked away. "Tell me? Please?" Hee-young looked at him.54Please respect copyright.PENANAunJDl8Ii99
"You want to know? Fine, I kissed him. I was drunk. Ok. Finish," Hee-young said.
"Underage s-se-"
"I didn't. We nearly though. Lucky, I was still a little bit sober," Hee-young mumbled. Suhyeok let out a sigh of relief.
"Hee-young... I want to tell you something," Suhyeok said. Hee-young looked at him. He held onto her hand, intertwining it. "Hee-young, I lik-"
"Get out of the way! Get back now!" Cheongsan shouted as he held onto the music stand, ready to hit Namra. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAX1ibLXBkVT
"I said to stop it! Stupid asshоlе!" Chang-Hoon shouted at Cheongsan. 54Please respect copyright.PENANA5E9TK4U5DG
"Stop it. Are you blind? Look at Namra. She would have blood on her mouth if she bit him. Does she? And he's not bleeding, right?" Onjo said, pointing out all of the facts. Chang-Hoon touched the back of his neck and felt no blood at all.54Please respect copyright.PENANAcvcKoNL11s
"Yeah it's true," Chang-Hoon confirmed.
"But if Gwi-nam bit her..."54Please respect copyright.PENANAbZI2PPQbwj
"She's still fine, which means you'll be fine. Come on, put that down. Stop being stubborn. Let go," Onjo said. 54Please respect copyright.PENANARKIkTIcQJb
"I'm not okay. I wanted to bite Chang-Hoon," Namra confessed.54Please respect copyright.PENANAp0zIExVTs0
"That's not true."
"It is. I really did. I wanted to bite him," Namra said, "I shouldn't stay with you any longer. If I hadn't come to my senses, I would've bitten him."54Please respect copyright.PENANA4fTt1jzTlF
"Yah, Namra, stop right there," Hee-young said, letting go of Suhyeok. She held onto Namra's hand while looking at her.
"You saw Gwi-nam get bitten by zombies?" Onjo asked.54Please respect copyright.PENANAG9bLElGaLy
"For the hundred time, yes," Cheongsan said.
"But did you see him turn?" Onjo asked.
"No, I was busy running," Cheongsan said that quietly.
"Hee-young, did you really see Gwinam?" Onjo asked. Hee-young nodded.
"He even reeked of blood instead of alcohol," Hee-young said.
"There's no reason for either to lie. Maybe Gwi-nam was bitten, but was not affected. In the movies, there are always people who are immune, remember?" Onjo concluded.54Please respect copyright.PENANA3oiCc2o6u5
"Her hands are warm. Unlike, Isak's," Onjo said as she held onto Namra's hand. Hee-young later took notice of it. Her hands are relatively warm.
"No way! She may be fine now, but who knows what's gonna happen when she turns? Guys, say something. This is wrong. She said herself that she wanted to bite him. She has zombie blood in her veins. Zombies killed my mom and dad. My mom," Jimin screamed. Hee-young got soo fed up about the situation that she just gave Jimin a slap. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAERkWwh2BRR
"She is still human. Plus, if she has zombie blood in her veins... Then what do I have? Zombie blood in my mouth, specifically my teeth? By the way, I bit Gwinam to save her, my precious teeth. How about I bite you too? Get you to have zombie blood in yours too?" Hee-young questions as she looked at Jimin, smirking.
"Monster..." Jimin whispered as her voice started to trail off when Hee-young started to walk forward.
"Happy? This way, she can't get to you if she turns. I'll get bitten instead," Chang-Hoon said, tying his hand around hers, making knots. 54Please respect copyright.PENANA19XAmnSLX8
"If Nam-ra's immune, does that mean she's okay even if she gets bitten?" 54Please respect copyright.PENANAzIQxYBVYeB
"Hey... Suhyeok, what did you want to talk to me about?" Hee-young asked, Suhyeok looked at her.
"Uhh, nevermind about that, we can talk later about it," Suhyeok said. Hee-young nodded her head. He likes her, she knows it. She heard him whispering it to her that morning, him whispering he likes her. Hee-young let out a tiny smile as she looks at Suhyeok.
"She still has zombie blood in her veins," Jimin said, still insisting to throw Namra out. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAEWFetSPqcm
"She isn't completely a zombie."54Please respect copyright.PENANAn7GGLMmKMr
"A halfbie?"
"What's halfbie?" Daesu questions.54Please respect copyright.PENANAp7vWj6bWk5
"It's like half and half," Joon-yeong explains. 54Please respect copyright.PENANABFcguujxqv
"Like half spicy, half fried... Oh! I want chicken," Daesu said. Gyeongsu groans.54Please respect copyright.PENANAXOmyh4roLF
"Bro, you didn't need to remind me about food right now," Gyeongsu whined.
"We haven't had water for two days. Is it true we'll die if we don't have water for three days?" Daesu quetions to Joon-yeong.54Please respect copyright.PENANAkc4ZTogTFB
"I don't know. Please don't talk to me. I'm too hungry," Joon-yeong said, as he held onto his stomach.54Please respect copyright.PENANAGebZISrqyh
"Dae-su, don't you want that soda we had on our way to school?" Wujin said, "Don't you want it so bad?" Daesu nodded his head.54Please respect copyright.PENANAbxivNJvb9E
"I want Hot Six with Pocari," Joon-yeong mentions.54Please respect copyright.PENANARM1k2YvWEp
"I'll see your soda, Hot Six, and Pocari, and raise you an iced vanilla latte," Daesu said. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ3aw3HVNl
"I want Cheongsan's fried chicken," Gyeongsu mentions.
"How could you think about food with a zombie here?" Jimin whined. Hee-young glared at her with an icy cold face which made Jimin keep her mouth shut.54Please respect copyright.PENANAGrFePdp7OS
"Wait... The PTA asked the parents to send some stuff before the competition, and asked my mom to send some chicken," Cheongsan mentions. 54Please respect copyright.PENANA3YkKMdFfHG
"Maybe it is in that room?" Hyo-ryung said as she pointed at that room. They tried to get the door to open but was unable to do so. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAUBNitjXDVV
"Find something to pick the lock with," Daesu suggested54Please respect copyright.PENANA2pmrYs9jYu
"Look for something," Cheongsan ordered and they went off trying to find something that could maybe open the door. Hee-young just stood in front of the door, using her clip that was somehow in her pocket to open the door. They all stopped and looked at Hee-young who was trying to get the door to open. Just then, her phone fell down.
Their eyes widen. "Is your phone still alive?" That was the first thing they asked. The fact that Hee-young tried to give her phone to Nayeon but Nayeon didn't want to take it from a bully that she just so kept it with her. Surprisingly, it was at 20%.
"There is no signal," Gyeongsu said as he took the phone trying to see the connection.
"Fuck it. The door is lock from the other side. It is hard to open it from the front. Unless someone is holding onto the door at the other side," Hee-young said, taking the phone away from Gyeongsu. Her eyes widen as she sees the messages that her adoptive parents sent to her.
"Hee-young. You alright? I am so sorry we treated you that badly... We saw the news, there are zombies around... We are planning to find your real parents."54Please respect copyright.PENANA9ADrESVW8L
"Young, I am soo sorry about how I didn't take the duty as a father figure for you. I regret it. Maybe it is because of the zombie problem that made me think like this."54Please respect copyright.PENANA2JwMz77zhs
"We are going to the helicopter, hopefully you will be there." 54Please respect copyright.PENANAbBXawbbpmI
"Your mom got bitten to save me, she wants me to tell you that she regrets treating you badly. She regrets not letting you to have the freedom to do everything. She loves you a lot. She doesn't want you to be one of those zombies. I am going to the camp. I'll wait for you ok? Then, when we get out of the camp together, I'll do whatever you want me to do. Even if you want to find your real parents, I'll do it." 54Please respect copyright.PENANAbJvKGs911D
"They came. The zombies invaded the camp. Don't come to the camp near the shopping mall, there are zombies around here. I don't know how long I can hide with the others."54Please respect copyright.PENANAYaeGkq10LB
"I'm sorry... I can't fulfil this promise for you. I can't continue life with you already. I am sorry for being harsh. I am sorry for abusing you. I am sorry for not giving a family that everyone wants to have. I- I love you even if you are not my own. Bye."54Please respect copyright.PENANAtMnV3zqtXX
Hee-young let out a cry as she dropped her phone, it was dead. The moment she read the last sentence, it was dead. Now she can't hate on anyone now. Who is going to allow her to get away whatever she wants because of money? 54Please respect copyright.PENANAowvHUhBbLx
Suhyeok held onto her, covering her from the others. 'It's ok, it's fine," Suhyeok muttered as he held onto her.
"Who is going to allow me to hate them for life?" Hee-young muttered. Chang-Hoon wanted to go to comfort her but then realise that he was tied with Namra. Namra shook her head.54Please respect copyright.PENANADeUxS7lnyR
"Let Suhyeok deal with it. It is time they know that they need each other," Namra said, smiling at the two.
