It is been a month since I started staying with strangers in a well-managed house surrounded by an endless forest and, not surprisingly, an increasing number of infected.

The guys are not as bad as I thought they would be; in fact, I am relieved that they, I mean Jimin, forced me to stay with them despite my repeated refusals.

And speaking of Jimin, he has been sweet to me since day one. He is such an angel. He became a good friend to me, one I had never had in my life. Oh, even before the apocalypse, I did not have a good friend to call my own. Everyone was selfish back then, too. So I am relieved to be in good company with Jimin. And please do not think I have romantic feelings for him. He is like my brother, and he sees me as one, as the sister he never had.

Yes, you guessed it—he is an orphan. His parents died when he was a baby, and he was raised by his aunt, who was not particularly nice to him. Damn, Lady.
As a young man, he joined the military to protect his country. Well, this is the information he gave me while smiling the entire time. I am wondering how.

What can I say about the next guy? Kim Taehyung... He is complicated. Until now, I have never understood why he looks at me like he wants to eat me alive, as if he expects something from me. Oh, I would have approached him with reasonable advice if he had not ignored me.
On top of that, my hormones are not functioning properly. I am not sure what is going on with my hormones when this guy is around. One moment I wanted to shake and slap him, the next I wanted to do something to him, and to my horror, the'something' is really, really horrible dirty thoughts.

God, I have never... I swear I have never felt this way for anyone.... I mean, I have never wanted to do "that" with anyone. Then why did I feel the urge to crawl on him? Oh, please stop there. This is crazy, effing crazy, and funny that I am feeling something I have never felt before, especially during the apocalypse. Great time for romance, ha.

'Hey, this is an excellent opportunity. You have a hot and sexy man. Do something before you die a virgin; my mind is clearly not in the mood to shut down these days.

And let me tell you, my mind plays a big role in corrupting me like this, constantly reminding me of his hungry gaze, broad muscles, supple skin, and beautiful lips.

'And the gurlie says I am the one who makes her remember.' Oh, shut up.

Jimin had witnessed our strange interaction, but he was wise enough to remain silent and ignore it. And I am glad he chose to leave us to solve the problem as mature people, even if we do not behave maturely.

Now, my brother was also not obvious to the stares Taehyung gave me. Kookie was initially wary of him, but once he realized that Taehyung would not likely pounce on me, my brother chose to retreat, but not completely. But yes, he was mingling with the boys, and he is glad there are boys. It is a boys-only thing.

Speaking of girls, Dahyun is becoming increasingly frail. Two days after my stay here, I moved to Dahyun's room, leaving Kookie to have the entire room. Ever since that day, the little girl has clung to me. Not that I am complaining; it is just that I do not want to become attached to the girl and then be depressed if something happens to her. And, much to my disappointment, it was too late; I was already attached to her, and I am sure I will cry, dude.
She is like a sister to me, and I wanted to do something to help save her. I do not know how to feel about this. I am sad because she will most likely die without medicine or treatment, but I am also relieved that she no longer has to see the flesh-eating creature. But, as Jimin mentioned, there is hope, and I am desperately hoping that we will be able to get out of here so that Dahyun can receive treatment and we can all live a good life.

Coming back to the present situation, the addition of two members to the three-member group obviously consumed a significant amount of food, and in order to survive further, we must collect the necessities.
We cannot die of hunger.
