Su-jin:

A FEW MINUTES HAVE PASSED and everyone was silent. Ji-min and Hyo-ryung were with On-jo as they comforted her. I was sitting in the corner across the room alone. I had made it clear I wanted to be alone after Joon-yeong offered to come with me but I glared at him to which he gulped at. Now I feel bad for doing it. I looked up and saw Cheong-san walk over to On-jo. I could tell he was going to say something but stopped himself and turned to the others at the doors. I smiled slightly and walked up to Joon-yeong. He turned around to me and smiled slightly.

"Joon..I'm sorry. I didn't mean to glare at you.." I mumbled.

"It's alright. You just lost a friend so your reaction is understandable." He said, fixing his glasses as he placed a hand on my shoulder. I smiled at him slightly and he pulled me into a hug to which I reciprocated.

"Let's go out. We can't last her much longer." Cheong-san spoke out, gaining everyone's attention. Joon-yeong and I broke from the hug and looked at him.

"Where would we go? And how?" Wu-jin asked.

"The rope from earlier. Gyeong-su." Cheong answered and then called for his best friend.

"What? What? What is it?" He asked repeatedly as Cheong-san wasn't answering him. 

Cheong-san then walked over to him and pulled him away from the door as they stood in front of it. I walked up to them and took Gyeong-su's place where he was holding the door as they discussed everything.

"Open it just a little. Enough for the hose to fit." Cheong-san said.

"Isn't it better to wait until the rescuers come?" Gyeong-su whined, clearly against the plan.

"We could all die if we wait."

"This might kill us faster. If we—"

"Is waiting for someone the best thing we could do?" Cheong-san remarked.

"Screw it. I've never given my best at anything other than playing." Gyeong-su muttered as he walked beside me and opened the door for Cheong-san.

"You know that's not true, Gyeong-su." I spoke out making him turn to me and smile.

Cheong-san got on his stomach as he reached his arm outside the door, attempting to grab the hose. After a while he came back in and walked into the science storage room, looking around and then grabbing the arm off a mannequin and getting back down. He used the mannequin arm to grab a hold of the hose outside. He struggled a little bit but then soon got it and pulled it inside, dropping the mannequin arm on the floor in the process.

"Prez, hold the door." Gyeong-su spoke out as he went helped Cheong-san pull the hose inside. Nam-ra followed and walked in front of me, holding the door.

"Help me make knots."

"How?" Ji-min asked as she ran over and helped them.

"Wrap it and tie it. So a hand or foot can fit."

"Big enough for a foot?"

"Zigzag. Tie them in a zigzag. In 50-centimeter increments." Joon-yeong yelled to them, helping.

The three followed his orders, making multiple wholes to step into and hold onto. When they finished, they brought the hose over to the window and tossed it out. Wu-jin followed them to the window for extra help. I watched them as they did so.
