“It's not supposed to be like this. You were perfectly fine before,” you state, hugging Min-Ji tightly.

“Am I turned? Y/n, I don't want to die,” she sobbed.

“No, you're not going to,” you glanced at everyone that try to step away from Min-Ji, “She's not turned, right? Please told me that she's not turned.”

“You were infected!” Na-Yeon claimed, “Get out, now!” She takes the umbrella away from the entrance while the other tells you to stay away from her. “Shut up! She was perfectly fine. Min-Ji doesn't get bitten!” you shouted, your voice cracked.

“I'll go, i-if I go, no one hurt, r-right?” Min-Ji said weakly, feeling that her bone began to crack. You try to stop her but Dae-Su stops you, his eyes tear up as well since Min-Ji is also his friend. “Get out!” Na-Yeon screamed.

“Okay, I'll go. Please...stop it,” Min-Ji replied.

She looks at you, her bloodshot eyes glassy with tears. But with all of her strength, she cracked a weak smile.

Before she can say anything, Min-Ji began to collapse, her bone cracked, shrieking and groaning in pain. “Someone, throw her out!” Na-Yeon shouted with frustration, fear that Min-Ji attack her first. When the zombified Min-Ji stand up, she was snarling, shrieking at everyone in there until they turn their gaze to someone that singing, crouching on the window's frame while clinging to the hose.

When you're looking at me, I've never felt so alive and free~” you sing, trying to smile if that's the last moment that you'll see each other again.

When you're looking at me, I've never felt so happy~,” the zombified Min-Ji shrieked, sprinting toward you before she jump, only falling from the window while you swing with the hose. Your gaze follows after her, watching her join the other zombies. Hyo-Ryung began to sob, knowing that you sang Min-Ji's favourite song.

All the memory of you and Min-Ji flooded into your mind, like a video player that plays continuously. How she treats you kindly. When she forces you to have some fun. When Min-Ji gave you a bear hug because you just fight with your parent. When you for the first time tease her. The happiest memories become the saddest ones when the person who gave you those only become a memory.

Dae-Su pulled you in, letting you go back to the room in total silence with grief. You grip the window frame until your knuckle turns to white, holding the urge to cry because try to be strong for Min-Ji. Your body shaking, you were hurt, confuse and frustrated. She was completely fine, but she turn into one? Even if she changes, you also should change as well.

Gyeong-Su hug you from behind, noticing that you were shaking. He rubs your arm, trying to make you calm down although he knew, you can't. “I told you all. She was infected,” Na-Yeon said.

“Well, are you happy now?” Dae-Su cried, wiping his tear. “You were all wrong, only I was right,” Na-Yeon proudly added, looking at everyone with a smug look, “What would you guys even do without me?”

The room was still in silence, only a sob and reassuring word from Gyeong-Su fill the room. Miss Park looked at you worryingly, knowing that you were so close with Min-Ji. From what Min-Ji told her before, you were stressed out and didn't know how to handle it. She's the only one who knows details about you before Hyo-Ryung, she's the only one that helps you with living a healthy life.

“Maybe you did it,” Nam-Ra blurted out, looking at Na-Yeon. Everyone is now looking at Nam-Ra except you that searching for your zombified friend but can't see clearly because of the darkness of night.

“What?”

“I saw everything, Na-Yeon...”

“What? What'd you see?”
