Gwi-nam managed to knock Su-hyeok out pretty harsh that Su-hyeok couldn't stand back up. The boy that's standing turned his head to the sound and he immediately rush towards the girl on the floor and removed the red haired girl before slicing her neck with the knife he had, blood splashing as he did.

"No...no, you can't," his voice full of sadness and concern for the girl who only looked at him, tears silently spill continuously from the girl's eyes. He held her face too careful.

"Gwi-nam..."

"You should've run!"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't left be-because I don't want to be your friend....anymore," she apologize.

"What... Why are you saying this? come on don't talk about that now."

"I thought... I thought you would be a better version of yourself one morning, if you...realized but guess I'm wrong. I shouldn't have," she held his hands that's on her cheeks slowly slipping off of consciousness but didn't let herself fall into slumber.

"You bastard," Su-hyeok pulled Gwi-nam from the girl's figure after he regained strength to pull his body up as they began to fight again, "What did you do!" Su-hyeok punched him on the cheek before he could even utter a word.

When Gwi-nam went out of balance, he took this opportunity to charge at him and push Gwi-nam using his body with his all might. Sending him out of the window as the glass shattering into pieces was heard, "Hey, hey. It's fine let's go now," he breathed out softly slapping her cheeks.

"Leave."

"And you think because you said I will?" he carried her figure in a bridal style but before he could run, his eyes landed on the girl with a red hair recognizing it as her best friend.

"Jae-won, she's not here," Nam-ra looked around hoping to see the face of her cousin including her cousin's best friend but failed.

"And where's Su-hyeok?" On-jo asks, Nam-ra didn't hesitate to go forward outside the door but was held back by a strong grip of the group.

"Let go of me. I'll get her!"

They also panicked for the three missing people in the room but none of them knew where they were. Just as Nam-ra and On-jo successfully yanked them they ran outside and was greeted by Su-hyeok's figure rushing on the hallways with a girl on his arms.

"Get in!" He settled Jae-won on the floor pressing her wound on the neck to stop the bleeding. This didn't go unnoticed to the others, knowing what this meant.

"She's bitten!" Na-yeon pointed out.

"Shut up!" Su-hyeok yelled back in distress at her and Nam-ra sat beside her cousin that's fighting the sleepiness from being dizzy.

"Where's Si-Mi?" others asked but Su-hyeok avoids their gaze before swallowing the lump building in his throat and they already know without hearing it.

Na-yeon stomped her foot on the ground, "Then why didn't you just left her with her friend?!"

"No! You think I didn't saw what you did, huh? I was just behind even though I wasn't close enough to reach to the three of you but my eyes can!" His fist balling up turning his knuckles into a white colored as he grits his teeth, "You pushed Jae-won and Si-Mi then ran away! You saved your own but letting two people get killed!"

"Then why didn't you save them instead?"

"I was being tackled by that zombie from outside the broadcasting room," he took big pace towards the girl but the guys held him.

"You didn't.... Na-yeon," Ms. Park couldn't believe her ears from what she heard, realizing her student really had the stomach to kill for the second time.

Their attention flicked to Jae-won when they heard a bone scrunched. Cheong-san grabbed a metal as a weapon as the others backed away,

"What are you doing? Throw her out!" Na-yeon cries.

Her bones are crunching but her body isn't twitching aggressively life how it usually does when someone was turning. Her head turning to both sides, fingers twitching, mouth agape as she gasps from the sore and headache, her legs are no different but she forces herself to kick to get herself away from the others but Nam-ra only went close.

"N-No Rara, go away," she ran her fingers through her hair but Nam-ra held her in place before hugging her.

She sobs, "Stop, I don't want to hurt you."

"I'm not scared," she doesn't want to as she like to enjoy Nam-ra's warmth but she had to, so she pushed her with force making her get back to her spot just now but Su-hyeok held Nam-ra's shoulders from the back and by her expressions it hurt her.

"It hurts! It hurts!" She cried feeling her body as if it's gonna break apart, plus the blurring sight of her from the throbbing pain on her head.

"Su-hyeok."

"Back off," he shields Jae-won with his body when Cheong-san approached without a warning with the music stand in hand.

"You think this is easy for me to do? I don't want to do this to her but we, my friends are gonna die if we don't-"

Su-hyeok cut him off, "Isn't she one of your friends?"

"She is, but I don't want any more to die," Cheong-san gritted his teeth.

"So you're killing one of them?" Su-hyeok's question didn't get any answer so he faced the cousins instead, Nam-ra kneels infront of the girl as her arms around Jae-won's shuddering shoulder. She turned her head over her shoulder making eye contact with Cheong-san as she shakes her head, tears brimming her eyes.

"Please no," she mumbles.

"Tie my hands and feet. I beg you," she eyes each one of them and her tears spills none stop.

"No-"

"Tie me up or I'll jump out the window?" she knows it sounds dumb but that's the only way to convince Nam-ra and the guy. With that, Su-hyeok quickly tore a piece from the window curtain and took his necktie off and started to tie her.

"Was it too tight? Does it hurt?"

"The tighter the better," she got a glare from him but didn't care as that was what her purpose is. The pain spreading across her body started again making her fall on the ground on her side, Su-hyeok and Nam-ra came beside her to hold her but she pushed them away aggressively.

"Cheong-san, let go of that thing now. She's tied up she can't do anything to us if ever," On-jo worries clearly that her childhood friend might hurt someone unintentionally if he kept holding onto it.

Cheong-san loosen his grip around it as the only sound can be heard was their heavy breathing, the clanking sound of the metal and Jae-won's loud sobs. She managed to spit words between her hitched breathing and cries–

"Cheong-san.... Do me a favor, please?"
