"Did you really say that? You promised me!" I slowly open my eyes again to Ms. Park's voice. I opened my eyes and saw Suhyeok and Namra on either side of me. In front of me was Ms. Park, Nayeon, and the rest of the girls. They all faced Nayeon with annoyed looks on their face. Gyeongsu was sitting down near us too and Suhyeok was patting his back while shaking his head.

"Why does she always have something to say about me. She's such a witch." Gyeongsu groans, shaking his head annoyed.

"I did nothing wrong." Nayeon says bluntly to Ms. Park, face remaining unchanged. What even happened? I knocked out for a little while and they're back fighting. Typical but this time it seems more serious. Usually, Gyeongsu brushes it off after they're done fighting but he seems so irritated. "You only think of yourself." Jimin spits out from in front of Nayeon. Jimin tells off Nayeon and I look over to Suhyeok. "What's happening?" I ask with a whisper, sitting up in my chair. I run my fingers through my hair, neating it out.

"Gyeongsu got a nosebleed. Nayeon thought he was infencted, so we put him in the booth for an hour and Ms. Park made Nayeon go in and apologize for accusing him. But Nayeon, you know... she didn't apologize." He explains. An hour? How long have I been asleep.

"Yeah and not just that, she said, 'you deserve to be made fun of,' and she called me a stupid welfie." Gyeongsu exclaims to me, putting his head in his hands.

"How long have I been asleep?" I ask again. Suhyeok just shrugs and says, "I don't know exactly but a few hours I think." He replies simply. I look out the window to see the sun has gone down. The whole day has gone by and no one has come to help us.

At least my headache went away.

Nayeon continues to go back and forth with everyone until Ms. Park interrupts. "That's enough. Quiet, everyone." Ms. Park speaks, her eyebrows furrowing in frustration. "We'd be quiet if she was gone." Jimin hisses out bitterly, glaring up and down at Nayeon. Nayeon scrunches up her face before saying, "Whatever, you all are seriously fucking annoying." What Jimin said really got to her there as her face expression falls.

Suhyeok looked to down at me, flashing a comforting smile before turning back to the confrontation in front of us. Nayeon continues to fight back, defending her actions.

After a few moments, Nayeon points to Gyeongsu. We all turn slowly to see Gyeongsu still sitting in the chair, looking at Nayeon with annoyance. "Look.... Guess I was right." Nayeon says, motioning over to where Gyeongsu was seated. We all looked over at him and there was blood dripping from his nose. "What?" He says annoyed and irritated. We all just stare back at him.

"Gyeongsu." Cheongsan's lips quiver, warning his friend. Gyeongsu wipes his nose, seeing the blood on his hand. "I told you! You still think I'm wrong? Look at him, he's bleeding." Nayeon barks out urgently, turning towards Onjo.

Gyeongsu's nose starts to bleed more and the veins on his hands start to protrude. I stand up, trying to get away from Gyeongsu. He stands up and we all move back from him, afraid.

Tears start to form in my eyes. "Gyeongs-su..." I whimper softly. I can't loose another friend. "What... what's wrong?" Gyeongsu stutters, looking at his hands in panic.

How is this happening? Gyeongsu couldn't have gotten bit right? It feels like this virus is just picking people up by lottery.

"Get rid of him! He's going to eat us all!" Nayeon screams, pushing Wujin towards Gyeongsu. Gyeongsu denies he's infected but his word isn't enough this time.

After a few moments of silence, Gyeongsu turns to Cheongsan. "I've t-turned r-right?" He says, looking down at his bloody hands. "Cheongsan, what do I do?" Gyeongsu says pitifully. Onjo tries pulls Cheongsan away from Gyeongsu but he pushes her back roughly. "Let go."
