In the broadcast room, everyone was doing their own business like chatting or joking. While you lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling with a blank face. Your right hand twirling the bloodied knife makes Wu-Jin anxious every second. At first, he tries to brush it off but the fact that it still has dry blood makes him afraid if you accidentally cut his skin and turn into one of them.

“Y/n, can you stop it?” he said, crossing his arm on his chest. You stopped twirling it, your gaze raise to his face, staring directly into his eyes. “Stop doing what?” you asked calmly.

“Twirling that knife. What if you accidentally cut yourself? There's blood on it and what if you turn into one because of it? We don't need to add another population of those zombies,” Wu-Jin rambled while you rolled your eyes, putting the weapon on the floor then pat it like it's your pet.

“There, happy now?” you said, slightly squinting your eyes. He smiles brightly, satisfied that you listen to him.

“Yup, very.”

Since you're bored and even music couldn't fill the boredom, you lay on the floor like a starfish, continuing to stare at the ceiling blankly. Dae-Su looked at you with confusion, nudging at Gyeong-Su and Joon-Yeong who followed his gaze.

“Y/n, what're you doing?” Dae-Su asked.

“Questioning my existence,” you simply replied, ignoring the stare from everyone in the room.

“So, did you get the answer?”

“Still searching for it.”

“You know what? I also want to question my life too,” he states, earning a slap on his arm.

“The hell is wrong with you?” Wu-Jin hissed.

You ignore them until you heard footsteps toward you and Joon-Yeong since he sits nearby you. On-Jo gives you a soft smile and then asks the Joon-Yeong about something that involves the Science Club project.

“Joon-Yeong, did the science club used to make a drone?” she asked.

“Do you want to search Cheong-San with the drone?” he said.

“It can do that?”

“Of course, but it's in a science lab.”

“We could take it.”

“But how? There're a lot of zombies out there.”

On-Jo looked at the window, pointed at the hose hinge out there, “That.”

“You want me to climb it with...that?” Joon-Yeong said.

“Science lab also full of a zombie,” Hyo-Ryung remind them.

“There's no zombie in the supply room, right?” On-Jo asked.

“Yes, but...”

“We have to find Cheong-San,” she said sharply, “now we only have each other.”

They all bow their head in silence, agreeing with the girl's statement. You decide to get up, wear back your jacket then shove your knife into the pocket of your jacket.

“It's true,” Nam-Ra suddenly said, “it's better if we have a drone. We can find Cheong-San and spectate outside. We even could send a message and ask for help.”

“It's a good idea but...who is the one that will have to go?” Hyo-Ryung said.

“I'll go,” On-Jo quickly replied, “I've once joined the firefighter training and climbed the rope.”

“No,” Su-Hyeok interrupted, glancing at her, “I'll go.”

“You were already going to the teacher's room before,” On-Jo states, “You can't keep making yourself in danger.”
