"THIS IS PROBABLY A REALLY BAD IDEA."
Yoona and Cheongsan slowly opened the classroom's door, silently as possible and just a tiny slit for nothing more than an arm to fit through. Gyeongsu stood behind them, just like the rest of the students, observing the actions of the two. Yoona turned around to Cheongsan's best friend. "Call me if you have a better one."
She focused on the matter again, stealing a short look at Cheongsan who breathed heavily out of fear. Yoona didn't blame him, she had to admit that she was scared to death as well. "Okay, I'll try first. I don't know if my arm is long enough. If something is about to happen, you need to pull me back fast, understood?" He nodded, gulping.
"Fuck," Yoona breathed out quietly, her eyes scanning the zombies roaming without orientation around the corridor, waiting for someone to appear they could chase after. With tiny movements, Yoona inched closer to the slit to stretch out her arm for the fire hose as silently as possible. She didn't want to make any noise, almost holding her breath in fear of making any loud sounds.
It felt like ages, her fingers grazing just the edge of the hose but not enough for her to be able to grasp it. Letting out a small breath she held in, she scrunched her face in agony as she kept trying to somehow pull it towards her. Leaning back again, inside the classroom, she shook her head helplessly. "I can't reach it. I need to slide out further, just a tiny bit."
"Well then do it!" Nayeon whisper-yelled at the older girl, earning a strict look of Yoona's which made her quiet down and back away. Yoona bit her tongue, restricting herself from letting out a comment because she was scared it might catch the attention of the zombies.
"Are you sure?" Onjo asked from behind, keeping her tone down. Her face showed signs of worry, and Yoona nodded with as much confidence as she was able to gather. She wanted to reassure Onjo as good as possible.
"I'll pull you in if something happens," Cheongsan reminded Yoona, giving her a short nod and a small smile in comfort. "I got you."
"Thanks," she patted his shoulder, then focused back on the hose in front of her. Pressing herself against the door, she held her breath again as she tried yet again to reach the hose. For a second, she stood still when she heard a zombie growling. Taking short breaths, Yoona slowly looked up to see a zombie turning itself around, as if it was sniffing something.
She felt her whole body tense up, praying that it didn't notice her and if it did, that she could trust herself and Cheongsan to pull back without getting infected. Yoona's mind wandered for a second to that case of possibility, her getting bitten. Shaking off the thought, she relaxed when the zombie turned back to its normal form, aimlessly strolling around the corridor again.
