"you were with him, right?" on-jo asked taehyung, who yu-jin got to find was with su-hyeok while she was running.

Taehyung nodded, "he... he told me to go to the lab—and that he'd meet us here..."

"where is he then?" on-jo questioned again. Taehyung only shrugged his shoulders staring at yu-jin who looked away with tears in her eyes.

"i don't know." Taehyung replied with a quivering voice.

The science lab was quiet inside, none of the students wishing to break the silence when suddenly, the PA system went off.

"students and teachers of hyosan high school, I'm park sunhwa, the english teacher. something strange is happening throughout the school. some students are attacking others indiscriminately. so please flee and find a safe place. and if any student or faculty hears this and is able to, please call the police and the fire department. students, hide somewhere safe until help arrives. if you can get out of the school, please get out. i'll say it again. some students are... hey, everyone... you're okay, right? you're not hurt? i don't know what's going on in here or how this whole thing happened, but. still, find a safe place and hide. i-i'm sorry... i can't help. don't get hurt, okay? please, let's stay alive and meet again. okay?" Yu-jin finally started crying quitely with sobs as she hiccup.

She wasn't type to cry at these type of situation but she lost su-hyeok and still she doesn't know where her mother is.

Namra sat beside the girl with sad face and comforted the brunette who hugged namra. As class president frozed in her place awkwardly patting yu-jin's back. Taehyung watched from afar his heart aching looking at his best friend. Screw it his first love. He couldn't just walk towards her and comfort her. Yu-jin will probably push him aside.

"i mean it. i really wasn't bitten!" i-sak suddenly yelled. Yu-jin and nam-ra turned their heads to watch the scene unfold.

"what's wrong? did you get bitten?" na-yeon asked i-sak.

i-sak ran to a mirror, denying the turn until she saw her bloodshot eyes and bloody nose.

"i-sak..." on-jo quietly said.

Yu-jin tightly gripped nam-ra's hand. As she point out by now that i-sak is bitten. Yu-jin's eyes again started to water from the corners as she sniffed.

Taehyung stand up carefully walking towards the pair and standing beside them putting a protective arm around both, mostly yu-jin.

"Yu-jin...." Yu-jin quickly looked up meeting eyes with i-sak's red bloodshot one. Yu-jin just looked at i-sak with lips trembling as she stumbled towards on-jo and i-sak hugging both of them.

i-sak kept denying the fact that she was going to turn, but on-jo and yu-jin just hugged her tight.

"what're you doing? get her out of here right now!" na-yeon cried out.
dae-su went to fix the barricade, "shit. they're going to climb over."

"no. come on, i said I'm fine!" i-sak cried again. Everyone looked nervously at the girl. cheong-san pulled on-jo away from i-sak, as taehyung and namra pulled yu-jin and backed near the rest of the group.

"On-jo.... yu-jin" i-sak reached out forward as on-jo tried to push Cheong san while yu-jin collapsed on floor with taehyung still standing alarmed. I-sak suddenly collapsed falling on her knees. Her bones starting to crunch just like coach kang and min-ji.

"hurry up, do something! throw her out the window!" na-yeon screeched, "hurry! she's turning into a zombie!"

on-jo whimpered while yu-jin cried harder into namra's chest not wanting to see her turn, "i-sak, please don't!"

i-sak ran towards her best friend with ear piercing growls as namra hurriedly made yu-jin stand and held her hand but anyway yu-jin broke free and called for i-sak.

"I-sak....please." zombified i-sak's attention turned towards yu-jin who was whimpering whilst sniffing. The zombie growled with mouth opened blood gushing out as it charged towards yu-jin.

Everyone started yelling for her as yu-jin didn't moved, as she gotten frozed in her place. She closed her eyes waiting for impact.

but taehyung pushed i-sak hardly trying to save his best friend , making i-sak fall out of the window. Yu-jin opens her eyes hearing gasps.

Yu-jin sees i-sak's bloody hand holding the window as she ran towards it whilst on-jo held onto the hand of now zombified i-sak.

Cheong-san stood next to her, watching the scene unfold and trying to convince his friend to let go.

"Have you lost your mind!? Let go!" Cheong san yelled as taehyung slowly pulled yu-jin in his chest not wanting her to watch rest. She cried softly wetting taehyung's shirt but he would care less.

Na-yeon carefully slide lab stool towards cheong san as he quickly picked it up and.

On-jo finally let i-sak's hand as she collapsed on floor and cried harder. Cheong san comforted poor girl hugging her.

Taehyung hugged yu-jin tighter as yu-jin's body trembled in his arms. Namra watched from far away with emotionless face but she walked back at one of desk and sighed shakingly.

"Are you okay ms.lim?" Jia nodded swiftly with small smile still looking around the ground for her beloved daughter. She can't except the fact that daughter become zombie. She just can't. Jia knows yu-jin is so brave and courageous.

"Uh yu-jin would be fine ms.lim. i know her, she is so strong." Jia smiled hearing compliments of her daughter from their teacher ms.park sunhwa.

"I have a faith in yu-jin. She is strong, she can be cry baby sometimes but i know she might be hiding somewhere in cabinets or something. She is alive that i know for sure." Jia said with proud smile as her heart still tugged making her frown.
