Chapter 18

You take a few steps downstairs with anger and sadness seeping into your heart. Disbelief with your father's decision to do that just because of martial law and how he silently gives you a threat to hurt your friend, you carelessly kill every zombie in your sight.

Blood was dripping from your hand which make you feel thirsty for blood, again. You keep shaking your head and trying to keep your mind occupied by searching for food for your friends. The look that your friends flashed a moment ago makes you scared that they couldn't trust you anymore. But you can't blame them, even if you once decided to stay away from them.

Perhaps fate has another plan for you.

When you reach the familiar floor, you sniffed a familiar scent that you get from Gwi Nam. Taking a deep breath, you narrowed your eye while walking back to the music room. Noticed the scent become more noticeable with every step closer, your heart also began to beat rapidly.

Once you open the door, a few zombies snarling randomly but your eyes are locked on one of them that seems newly infected. You can hear the bone-cracking sound from her and what makes you lose your breath is her pink cardigan. The zombified Na Yeon slowly turned in your direction while shrieking.

You feel guilt and devastation, knowing that Gwi Nam kills her. But the thought that you're the one who left her alone, giving him the chance to take her life. You just like him, a killer.

Without any emotion flashing on your face, you pulled your knife and stab her side of the neck. She instantly limped, the sound of her falling make the other zombies sprint toward her. Angrily, you killed all of them before devouring them.

As you realised that you have again, become a monster that you are afraid of, you vomited. Gripping your hair with frustration, you weakly sit on the floor with your back against the wall. You blankly stare at Na Yeon's body, the blood that soaked into her pink cardigan.

After what she did to Min Ji, you can't forgive her even though you try. Maybe you never will. But Miss Park's last few words make you realise that your life is meaningless because you caused someone to die.

You just want to cry but you can't anymore because you're too tired. Feeling helpless, you lazily turn your sight to the tote bag that has blood splashed on it. You shifted yourself closer and take a peek.

Your eyes slightly widened when there was food, a camera and surprisingly, a flute in there. You glanced at Na Yeon's body with guilt bubbling in you. She wants to redeem herself...but because you decided to leave her, she didn't get a chance to do so.

You kneel, closing her eyes with your two fingers before hurriedly heading to the storeroom and shoving as much food into the bag as you can. But then, thunder was striking the ground. The loud sound followed after making you fall to your knee. You close your ears with both hands and let out a groan of pain.

It's much worse than the helicopter. You trying to get up but to no avail because every time you stand, the thunder makes you feel unbearable pain in your ears. You were desperately searching for something that can make the pain decrease. In the end, you only could wrap the curtain on your head while balling yourself at the edge of the room alone.

Meanwhile, the rain was pouring as the others on the rooftop happily drink it by opening their mouth as wide as they could. A few moments later, they helplessly cry. Nam Ra let out a whimper because of the loud sound of the thunder. Su Hyeok instantly ripped his shirt, fold it into small sizes and give it to her so she can stuff it into her ears.

He couldn't help but think that you also might be in pain as well, except you're alone down there. He feels hopeless when he realised that he never asked you about your well-being, only thought that you were just a quiet cold kid. If only he knew what you have been through all your life, he maybe can be there with you. He just hopes that he is never too late to be a good friend.
