Aera was sitting on the cold ground of the janitor's closet. Young-Jin was next to her. The two kids were still processing everything that happened. Young-Jin was taking it better than Aera.
Aera was digging her nails in her palm. It started to draw blood, the deeper her nails went. Aera hissed and stopped, looking at her palm.
Young-Jin noticed as well. He grabbed Aera's hand. He brushed his fingers on the small cuts. ❝I won't let anything happen to you. Okay? We're going to find a way to go to my Nuna's school. She will know what to do.❞ Young-Jin reassured.
Aera looked at Young-Jin. Her eyes started to get red, tears forming in her eyes. Young-Jin quickly pulled her into his embrace. Aera in between his legs, her head on his chest while his arms were wrapped around her shoulders.
'What would Nuna do? Think think think'
❝It's okay. I'm here. You're not going to be alone. Not ever.❞ Aera started crying, Young-Jin placed his hand over her mouth so, she wouldn't attract unwanted attention.
Young-Jin started to hum the soft lullaby that Moon would do for him. Aera slowly started to calm down and ended up falling asleep.
The humming slowly died down when Young-Jin started to feel sleepy himself.
❝Goodnight, bestie. Pft.. Aera, my dear.❞ Young-Jin joked to himself before sleeping into a deep slumber.
❝Goodnight, Young-Jin, my dear. Wait no I take that back. That's cringe as hell.❞ Aera joked.

❝Dae-Su, your shit smells horrible.❞ Su-hyeok said.
❝You expected it to smell like candy and flowers?❞ Dae-Su said back.
❝Febreze wouldn't even be able to cover the smell.❞ Moon said, joining the conversation. The whole group finished making a toilet. Since they had to piss and shit.
❝Do you ever think that we're the last few people still here?❞ Moon said. It was random but, she couldn't stop thinking about it. She hoped that it wasn't true.
She hoped that Young-Jin was still alive. She felt guilty that she hasn't attempted to go and find him.
❝There's nobody there. There are no lights on in the stores and apartments out there. They all ran away or died.❞ Nam-ra said while looking at the willow.
❝What do you mean by that?❞ On-jo asked.
❝No one is coming here to save us.❞
❝We're all gonna die.❞ Moon said as she leaned her head back.
Nam-ra continues the conversation. The rest started talking about waiting to be rescued or not.
'I should have gone with Na-Yeon and Ms.Park while I still had the chance'
