Chapter 4

"Ahem."

Y/N whipped her head towards Eunhyuk who was looking at her. Her eyes went down at their hands clasped together and realized how tightly she has been holding him. She slowly removed her hand and moved back.

Eunhyuk walked away and noticed the people around talking about plans to block the exit. Seo Yi and another man who wore a military outfit meanwhile moved the body of the dead man to another room.

"Alright, we should take whatever we can to block the exit!" A man shouted, followed by nods of approval. Y/N decided to take her time and work with the others. She didn't want to think of what was going on outside. Most importantly, she wanted to block out every single thought about her family and their whereabouts. Any kind of thoughts involving them will only weaken her. She got up and went to a room, took a folding chair and proceeded to place it near the exit, when a woman, Cha Jin-Ok came shouting towards them.

"My daughter isn't back yet! You can't block the exit!" she ran towards them, trying to pull them away from the exit, "If anything happens to Min-ju, it's all your fault!"

The people around her started to surround her and stop her, telling her to calm down. When they heard a clear voice say, "Block it."

Jin-Ok ran towards the voice of Eunhyuk and pushed two men away, who were bringing a machine to block the exit. She tapped on her mobile, and put it in front of him. A red dot blinked on the map as she explained, "She here! I'll go get her quickly. Open it, please?"

Knowing the kind of man he is, Y/N expected him to volunteer to go along with her. It felt like a bad idea. The streets were filled with monsters and to come back alive in that atmosphere felt like an impossible task. Some kind of fear made her decide against it. Even though...it meant loss of a human life. She was about to tell him about it being a bad idea when she heard him, "No."

What?

It almost felt like a shock. 

Ofcourse. 

She merely knew him for a few months, and they rarely talked to each other to know everything about themselves. Eunhyuk was probably....a lot different than she imagined.

"Who are you to say no? Do you know who I am!" Jin-Ok yelled.

The comment made her flinch. It brought back memories that she didn't want to recall. "Your status won't make a difference when we are fighting for survival," she said. Feeling Eunhyuk's eyes on her, Y/N looked away at the exit in embarrassment. Maybe he felt like she was trying to defend his actions which wasn't the case. Atleast....it wasn't the main point of her words.

"I can't let this place fall into danger," Eunhyuk said looking back at the woman before him and started pushing the machine towards the door. As Jin-Ok and Eunhyuk were having their little fight, Y/N realized something.

If the woman was still able to show the map, then the internet was still available right? She quickly took out her phone and sent a number of texts to her mother -

"Things are weird.

Monsters are all over the city.

Are all of you okay?

Please reply.

I'm fine.

Make sure to stay safe.

And keep a weapon in case."

She stared at the screen of her phone, waiting for any kind of reply but there was nothing. She sighed and suddenly heard her phone beep. Eagerly, she opened the lock.
