━━━━━━━━━━━━

The growls grew louder and louder as the zombies chased after them. Despite being wounded, they ran to the end of the hallway. Minari turned around as Cheong-san waved the zombies over, "Hey, over here!"

They dashed up the stairs, Minari ignoring the pain that shot up her leg as it got worse with every step she took. They continued to run and scream, giving the others time to get away. When they reached a floor, Cheong-san handed her a metal pole and they fought off the zombies. Cheong-san hurled himself into an elevator shaft whilst Minari stood, confused.

The zombies were charging into the shaft, completely ignoring Minari who stood among them. She breathed heavily as she could hear her own heart thundering in her chest. Hwang Minari groaned, holding her head as a loud long static sound blared in her ears. She rolled onto her back and screamed when she felt her bones crack.

"Minari!" Cheong-san yelled, attracting more zombies down the shaft. They were merely falling to their deaths. Once there were no more growling to meet them, Cheong-san hurled himself over the gap in the shaft, kneeling beside her. He watched in horror as black veins formed on her neck and she writhed on the sandy ground.

Cheong-san was beyond confused as he watched his best friend sort of turn in front of him. This wasn't how others had turned. Their skin would have burst by now, and he checked Gwi-nam's bite mark on her leg. It had healed and it was just a scar now. He jumped when Minari's back suddenly arched as her spine snapped and healed in one go. She screamed in agony.

"Ch. . . cheong-san. . . " She groaned as her head twitched and her neck snapped and healed in an instant. "Cheong-san, the missile, it's coming." The bones in her arms and legs snapped and healed once more. "Lee Cheong-san. . . I told you to make a move on On-jo in the seventh grade, and here we are, seconds away from our deaths, and you only did it five minutes ago."

Cheong-san chuckled as he too started to feel the effects of the bite, his nose had started to drip blood. "Hwang Minari. You got Choi Nam-ra. After years of silent pining. . . " He smiled sadly at his friend, reaching over to check her pulse. It was fading. "You did it." The boy laid down beside her as he underwent the same pain she was going through in that moment. When the missile hit the school and radiated outwards to nearby buildings on school property, the two friends were side by side, going through inexplicable amounts of pain. The boy was the one that was conscious and he had picked up his friend's limp body, dragging her to the elevator shaft, tucking her on one of the metal scaffoldings before he was blown back by the impact of the explosion, falling down the elevator shaft as the explosion rocked the earth around him.

The construction site didn't essentially crumble as it wasn't directly in the line of sight of the missile sent to blow up the school. The only reason one would know that is if they were there.

Hwang Minari was there. Her eyes opened and she was greeted by ash landing on her face as if it was winter season. If anything, she was covered in it. When she shot up, it went everywhere. She caught her breath and it got in her lungs. The Hwang gagged and nearly rolled off of the scaffolding. She lurched backward upon realizing where she was, slowly climbing over to the solid floor instead of the elevator shaft.

She coughed at the ash in the air, turning over and coughing up blood. Minari glanced down at her leg that was supposed to be injured, however, when she looked down at it, the skin around where Gwi-nam bit her was red and it had black veins around it. Minari moved her leg around, left to right and it moved perfectly fine, like there was nothing wrong.
