Yu-jin pulled away from taehyung as she immediately hugged su-hyeok caughting him off-guard. He looked around awkwardly before hugging her back.

"If it wasn't for you, i would have died. Thank you." Yu-jin muttered in his chest but it got muffed. Su-hyeok was able to make out what she said he smiled and hugged her more tighter this time.

He felt his heart beating with her and a churning in stomach which he would say butterflies in his stomach.

Jia hesitatingly stand from her chair and tried to see the face of that girl which her heart was tugging. But other students pushed her aside unintentionally.

"Yu-jin!" Jia's head snapped towards ms.park's voice she hurriedly pushed everyone out apologizing. She pushed taehyung aside who was hovering over yu-jin as he grimaced.

There she stood hugging a boy who was nuzzling into her hairs whilst she sobbed. Jia's heart broke at the physical appearance of her daughter, all she wished that she is mentally and emotionally stable. She reached out to her with body shaking. Coming closer she touched yu-jin's head as yu-jin was still in su-hyeok's chest. Yu-jin felt familiarity in the touch on her head.

She snapped her head back at person immediately frozing. There stood her mom with dried blood on her cheeks and bare feet.

"Yu-jin?" Jia's voice cracked, she still can't believe it's her daughter without any harm. Yu-jin reached out her hand forward touching her mother's cheeks carressing them. As jia leaned in touch whilst yu-jin carressed to confirm it isn't dream or illusion. And guees what it wasn't.

Yu-jin quickly hugged jia in a bone crushing hug. Yu-jin hurled herself into jia's arms, nearly knocking her arse over elbow given how much taller she was than jia . But in that moment jia forgot She was full grown, and jia  clasped her so tightly they were nearly one person. Jia imagined she was her little baby girl again, imagined she could make any hurt go away.If hugs healed, she’d hold her all night. 

Some days, there are rough times.All you need is a hug so you do not feel so scared, that there is a person beside you, you can hear the heart beating & feel so safe. Sometimes, you just need a hug because the world can be empty & cruel .It’s like a pair of wings that just surround you magically expected or unexpectedly. You feel warmth as the pair of hands enfold you like a favourite blanket. If you’re feeling sad, rejected, unloved or alone, the hug makes you feel comforted, loved & not alone.

"Mom." She whispered but everyone heard it and looked at each other shocked. Lim jia she meant? Was in everyone's mind.

Jia pulled away and pecked her forehead softly with hum. A hum which made her heart settle. Both of their.

"Mom!?" Dae-su yelled making gyeong-su slap his head, "yes fart boy! Her mother!" Jia and yu-jin looked at them and giggled lightly as everyone drowned in awe at mother and daughter.

Su-hyeok felt so embarressed as his cheeks tainted pink, he looked down but suddenly he felt hand on his chin. He looked up and his breathe hitched. Lim Jia was standing holding his hand. He can't be more lucky. Well he still is. His heart will calm down when yu-jin will accept him.

"Thank you for saving my yu-jin, i don't know how thank you and all of these students." She looked around as everyone smiled proudly. "You guys are so brave and strong. I'm proud of you all." Ms.park nodded agreeing with the group of students.

Su-hyeok was sure he was whole red when his mother-in-law complimented him. He didn't know what his mind was speaking in alien language.

Jia's eyes landed on certain someone, someone little familiar. She looked at taehyung with squinted eyes while taehyung suddenly felt so small under her gaze. Who wouldn't.

"I don't know but i have heard about you tae- taehyung." Yu-jin immediately held Jia's arm, "mom, i told you about my best friend right. He is that Kim Taehyung." Jia's eyes widened in understanding. She smiled widely.

"Oh yeah! Your best friend who you have cru-" yu-jin slapped playfully on jia's arm, "That's it mom." Yu-jin gritted her teeth and took jia away from rest of group. While everyone were still processing. She took jia in a corner and looked at her with glare while Jia smirked playfully.

"Look who got herself a crush." Jia teased making yu-jin held her shoulder and shook her softly, "mommm! Please not now! It's apocalypse for god's sake." Yu-jin gritted her teeth while eyes glaring at Jia. Jia snickered and hugged her daughter again. "Okay, chill yu. I was just playing with you." Yu-jin sighed and hugged her back both of them rocking.

Taehyung watched from corner as mother daughter have their moment. He missed his mom. How she would have held him and make his all worried go away. He is yearning for his mother's touch. He smiled sadly but didn't took his eyes of the brunette in her mother's embrace.

Su-hyeok smiled widely at his crush's affection towards her mother. He wished somewhere he could also hig yu-jin again. All day all night. Without breaking it. He never felt so happy but when yu-jin's mother complimented him. He felt the luckiest man alive. Well no one is alive except these rest of students but yeah still he is luckiest man.

"Hey, what the fuck did you say?" Everyone pulled away from their thoughts and looked at now gyeong-su and na-yeon. Who were at each other's throats.

"Did you just hit me?" Na-yeon yelled with disgust glare towards gyeong-su.
Gyeong-su didn't backed away when she literally came on his face. "Yeah. Say that again."

Ms.park came running towards both after closing the window. "Cut it out! What are you doing?"

"He just hit me." Na-yeon spat not caring if she talking to their teacher like that.

"You called me a 'welfie' first!" Ms.park looked at them with confused expression still not getting what's welfie.

"What's a 'welfie'?" Everyone stayed silent not a single voice was made. Jia looked at yu-jin confused 'what is welfie?' she whispered to yu-jin. But yu-jin stayed silent.

"What that?" Ms.park asked again. This time having courage su-hyeok spoke, "A person on welfare." Ms.park didn't get what was that so she told to repeat.

"A person on welfare. 'welfie' for short." Jia was shocked, while yu-jin looked down.

"Na-yeon, you were wrong! Don't ever say that again." Ms.park scolded the girl whilst she looked down. "And gyeong-su, if you hit someone for that, you're the one that loses." Everyone were quite as ms.park continued.

"Kids, we shouldn't be fighting among ourselves right now. We don't know what's going on."

"Aren't they zombie?" Taehyung asked leaning against the wall, everyone looked at him but ms.park ignored him not finding any appropriate answer for that. "What about other teachers? Has anyone called cops?" Ji-min asked.

"Don't worry, I'm sure someone already has. I just don't have my phone with me right now." Ms.park's eyes found the rich CEO. "Ms.lim? Do you have your phone." Jia looked around with wide eyes before chuckling nervously, "nah, i lost it while running."

"We called them." Cheong-san said,

"Someone will come save us." Ms.park said as na-yeon scoffed quitely.

"We have tried calling police and fire officers. But i don't think they will come save us." On-jo said quitely, "they will here soon. Let's wait here a little longer." Ms.park quitened the worries of students incouraging them.

"Ms. Park? Hyeon-ju's hand were cold too. So were i-sak's. What if all of this started with hyeon-ju?" On-jo asked as everyone looked at her thinking again.

"She went to the hospital." Hyo-ryung said with cracked voice. "What if she spread it there as well?" Yu-jin asked making everyone swallow hard.

"Maybe that's why no one is coming." Yu-jin said again everyone stayed silent. Suddenly Joon-Yeong stand up from his place and pointed towards the computer. "They still work right? Uh internet! The internet." He rushed towards the computer immediately turning it on.
