8 | Flowery Words for some Blooming Anger

Jae-won squeezed herself through the guys for her to see what's going on. There, she saw Su-hyeok clinging onto Cheong-san for dear life.

"Ouwwww, baby boys all lovey doveyy~ but please get here first so you can do that here instead, I guarantee you, it's much safer here!" Jae-won joked, earning a slap in the arm from Ms. Park.

"Yah!" both of them move their glaring eyes on her only for her to laugh.

"You guys may continue now, but please not here, do it in the recording room instead. Give a little respect for us singles," once the two got down safe, she continue with teasing the guys.

"Yah! I can't believe just a few minutes back you were trembling and almost crying, now you're back to making fun of us!" Cheong-san complained smacking her shoulder, but once again, he only get laughed at.

"Wow, you're still alive, huh," she then turned to grin at Su-hyeok who's only looking at her.

"Of course, I still have lots of things to do, y'know?"

"Sure, you do."

"Shut up and just hug me," he didn't gave her even a second to speak, he just pulled her close to him.

Her shock has subsided as she felt her cheeks burning up, she hug back.

"You shouldn't have let yourself be left behind earlier, we needed you there."

"Sorry," that's the only thing he can say.

They pulled away hearing Na-yeon and Gyeong-su argue, again.

"Is it not true?"

"You can't just say some shit like that," Cheong-san retorted.

"What's a welfie?" when no one dared to answer Ms. Park after a few repeats, Su-hyeok decided to speak up,

"A person on welfare. Welfie for short."

Ms. Park was stunned that she had just said that, "Na-yeon, that was wrong for you to say that," Ms. Park lectured before turning to Gyeong-su, "And you, when you hit people, you're the one who ends up losing. Understand?"

"I don't."

*Sigh*

'can't blame him, this has been going on for a while tho'

"We can't be fighting this time. Not now that things are happening out there with those–"

"Zombies. Are they zombies?" Su-hyeok interrupted.

'right! I guess that's the right word I'm looking for. Zombies.'

She gasped mentally at the discovery.

"Has anyone called the cops?"

"I'm sure someone already has."

"We already did, but no one's coming," it's Cheong-san

"They'll be here, let's just wait a little longer," Ms. Park reassures her students.

But Jae-won wasn't having it as she's not convinced, even if it's Ms. Park who's talking— whom she trusts more than any other teachers.

"And I believe it has been long enough since they called. This is now the third room we've been in from escaping those bloody things— 'till when will we wait? What if something happened outside this school?" she hissed with crossed arms.

"Hyeon-ju's hands were cold and so were I-sak's. What if it started with Hyeon-ju that it spread?" with that, everyone including Ms. Park turned to On-jo.
