"hey."

'fuck.'

you did not expect this... kind of? seeing suhyeok standing in front of you with a milk carton in his hand with a gesture of giving it to you— you were taken aback.

'does...this count as me breaking the deal...? no, that can't be-- the nurse should be turning into a rabid right now. that means it has started,' with shining eyes, you looked at suhyeok in a new light.

"hello," you nodded gently and took the milk carton from suhyeok. "what brings you here?"

"i just wanted to ask if you knew something about what happened with hyeonju?" suhyeok said directly, not beating around the bush that it made you boo from the anticlimatic conversation he carried.

but still, you shook your head and pretended in a thoughtful look. "i don't know... i was just going out of the bathroom and saw her slumped in the hallway. i knew her room so i bought her there..." 

suhyeok looked a bit skeptical at your excuse but you did not give him time and bid him goodbye. you didn't even warm him at the chaos that was now happening down there but you saw him look down himself and saw him run towards the opposite of where you were going—he was going to namra.

"he's such a prince to the rescue," you snorted and took a sip at the sweet milk carton. 

you went back inside some minuted later to see what was happening now-- it was shit. you strode by the zombies who ran amok the halls as they passed by you. you smiled and then noticed one person begging for help.

the helplessness in their eyes made your chest tighten but before you could even do anything else they were quickly gobbled up by two zombies, saving you the chance to have internal strife with your own morals.

one zombie seemed to notice your overbearing presence and made a slow limp towards you. you tensed in a moment and thought that you were noticed, only to see that he was sniffing your neck like a dog.

"aish!" you scoffed and pushed the zombie's head away. if others would see this they would be morbid by the sight but you didn't give a fuck and proceeded to drag the zombie's collar towards a pile of lingering zombies. "you guys really have no other instinct other than killing, huh..." you hummed.

"[m/n]!" 

you turned around and saw suhyeok with a confused namra in his grip. your eyes widened when he ran towards you and grasped your other hand to drag you away from the chaos.

"what are you doing?!" you panicked and tried to flee from his grasp but to no avail, this man is too strong for you, even if you've kicked zombies from left and right he's still superior in all aspects. "let me go!"

"hell no!" suhyeok objected. "what are you even doing in front of piled-up zombies?! are you out of your mind?!"

you groaned. 'fuck...am i done for?' surely not, the outbreak started, no signs of attacks. you were sure that you were finally free.

"i'm free?" you smiled at the thought. now that you were free all you had to worry about was to not get killed via natural ways. now that you carried the will of the plot you were assuming that they've come to terms to hear your aid to help them progress the story smoothly.

so you let yourself go with suhyeok and namra.

"where are we going?" you asked. "are you helping me out?"

"of course i am," suhyeok said. "we might not know each other that well but you're still a living being so it's a given i'd try and help you away from death,"
