Darker Twist | All of us are dead

╰┈➤Chapter 24

"You were bitten," Ji-min pointed out, voice come out as a whisper as fear settles on her system. She abruptly stood up, her chair creating a loud sound as it gets pushed back, "That's a bite mark. It's clearly a bite mark!"

Dae-su jolted up too, walking back closer to the wall and away from Nam-ra but the snarling from the other side of the wall made him flinch. Gyeong-su shifted his weight from one foot to another, clearly disturb but didn't move back like the other two. The others didn't have the reaction like what was expected to them, even Cheong-san didn't race to grab the discarded music sheet stand on the floor. They just look indifferent.

"No," Su-hyeok spoke monotonously, "She wasn't bitten by a zombie. Tell them."

A small and almost unnoticeable smirk made its way on Nam-ra's lips, "I was bitten by Yoon Gwi-nam," her head and attention turn to Cheong-san, "You know him. The bully."

Hye-wol didn't even know why she expected a fight to unfold knowing that the continuity is absolutely destroyed after someone who was supposed to die live and someone who was supposed to survive until the end dies. Why is it so unfair? She couldn't change what's been written but they could freely control it like it's their own work. Why does the characters don't listen to the author?

"But... but why would Gwi-nam bite you? How can someone even bite that hard?" Ji-min interrogated.

"She already said it Ji-min. We should start trusting each other since we're all going to survive together," Cheong-san stated, "And I wasn't even surprised that Gwi-nam bit her. That guy is a fucking lunatic."

Hye-wol's forehead furrows, "Gwi-nam wasn't bitten by a zombie but he was mauled. You were there when he fell-- or rather you were the one who pushed him. He chased us, Cheong-san ah. Don't you remember? Library?"

Cheong-san turn to her, eyes gleaming with confusion and for a split a second, it was broken by a glint of fury before it was masked by his innocent façade, "What are you saying? We never went to library. There are too many zombies on the ground, it's impossible."

Hye-wol scowl at that but kept quiet. 'Trying to gaslight me, I see? What are they doing? Trying to manipulate me in every way possible?'

"Hye-wol," Ji-min turn to her, "You were saying you guys went to the library? Did you really see Gwi-nam got bitten?"

"I----"

"We didn't went to library so no, we don't see Gwi-nam," Cheong-san cut her sentence.

"Let her speak," Ji-min retaliated with her brows furrow, "She has a mouth and a voice so let her speak."

All eyes turn to Hye-wol--- most of them looking at her like the moment she opens her mouth will going to be the last time she'll open it. So she heave a sigh, "No, we didn't."

"Then why would you say it?" Ji-min exasperated, "Are you scared of them? Why would you? Did Cheong-san threatened you?"

Hye-wol didn't answer, keeping her mouth shut as she felt On-jo's fingers digging on her skin.

"Na-yeon was right," Ji-min concluded when she got no answer, "You guys are obsessed. I've been observing all of you since yesterday night and we're really stupid to not see it."

She steps backwards, closer to the wall as he witness how they're eyes darken, "But now I see it. Hyo-ryeong wasn't really missing right? You guys killed her I bet."

A smirk appears on each other their lips and the next thing Ji-min know is that she fell on the floor with a stabbing pain behind her head.

"Yah! Han Gyeong-su what are you doing?!" Dae-su yelled after seeing that the guy he thought he knew very well--- that guy that could as well be his bestfriend hit Ji-min on the head with the back of the guitar, the harsh sound of wood hitting the back of her head echoes on the whole music room which triggers the aggressive snarls of the zombies.
