other half | all of us are dead

Aras POV;

After everything - Jimin said she was afraid of me. Joon-yeong got the idea of tying our hands together.

We were sitting down together while the others sat across the room. "Why did you do this?" I asked him.

He looked at me. "Because the others need to believe us. You weren't bit by a zombie."

I went silent for a moment. I felt dead inside. "I wanted to bite you." I confessed.

"Don't say that." He replied.

"It's true. I felt everything in me I needed to bite you. Then you said my name." I said. "I heard your voice and felt okay again."

He looked at me and I looked at him. "I'll always protect you." He told me.

"I will do the same in return." I said.

Not too long after that, On-jo walked over to us. "If you guys wanna leave a message you can." The girl walked away after that.

Joon-yeong held the camera in his hand before he turned it on and started to speak. "Hello, this is Oh Joon-yeong from Hyosan High. I'm with my dear friend, Lee Ara." He faced the camera to me. I smiled and bowed slightly.

He continued, "I miss you, mom. I hope you're safe." He said to the camera. "I was hoping to go to Seoul University and get a girlfriend there."

I meant to hold in my giggle, but it came out. "Sorry, keep going." I said.

"I hope whoever is watching this is safe too. Here's Ara again." He smiled and pointed the camera at me. I waved again.

He handed me the camera and I held it. I faced it infront of me.

I had something I wanted to say, but I wasnt sure if I should. "Hi mom, dad, Mina. I hope you're somewhere safe. Maybe you guys are eating chicken." I could feel the tears in my eyes.

I continued. "I'm with Joon-yeong. You hear me talk about him sometimes."

Joon-yeongs POV;

"You hear me talk about him sometimes." The way she said that, her smile. It all repeated in my mind.

"I'll see you soon." She turned off the camera and looked at me. "Is everything okay?"

I snapped out of it. "Sorry." I tried to smile at her.

For some reason my heart was racing. I've always admired Ara. I remember once I didn't have a partner, but she came over to me and offered.

Why was I feeling this way?

Aras POV;

What the fuck? I thought to myself as I heard a strange vomiting noise.

I suddenly stood up which made Joon-yeong look at me. "What is it?"

"I don't know." I said. "Come here." I started to walk over to the classroom window and listened closely.

The others were beside me too. "Whats wrong, Ara?" Gyeong-su asked me.

"You didn't hear that?" I asked him.
