"Hey," Na-yeon said, looking at Gyeong-su. "You... you're bleeding."

"What?" Gyeong-su said.

"Gyeong-su, your nose is bleeding," Cheong-san said.

"It is?" Gyeong-su wiped his sleeve on his nose, spotting the blood. He sighed. "It's because Su-hyeok hit me with the stupid mop."

Stand back. Don't come closer. You were bit, weren't you?

"No, I wasn't," Gyeong-su replied as he reached over to grab a tissue. "Su-hyeok hit me."

Na-yeon backs away, though.

"Why do you keep picking on me?" Gyeong-su asked.

"You were bit!" Na-yeon accused. "I-sak got a nosebleed just before she turned. On-jo, you know. That's how I-sak was before she turned."

"I wasn't bit. I swear!" Gyeong-su replied.

"I don't see a bite mark anywhere," Aeja pointed out.

But Na-yeon spotted something else, "On his hand. What is that?"

Gyeong-su looked down at his hand and let out another sigh. "This is from when I picked up the computer. Don't you trust me? This happened while I was saving you. How could you do this?"

Aeja walked over, gently grabbing Gyeong-su's hand. She examined it for a moment.

"It's just a small cut," Aeja said. "A graze, at most. You can check if you don't believe me."

Su-hyeok walked over, "It's a scratch. I'm sure of it."

"Ms Park, please take a look," Cheong-san said.

Ms Park walked over, also looking at the scratch. "I don't see a bite. It's a scratch. Thank goodness."

"Satisfied?" Gyeong-su asked, looking over at Na-yeon. "I asked if you were satisfied."

"But did you have to throw the computer?" Dae-su asked.

"What could I do?" Gyeong-su asked, who was gradually getting annoyed. "It was trying to get in."

"I'm saying you did good," Dae-su replied. "Na-yeon. Say you're sorry and end this."

"Why should I?" Na-yeon asked.

"He did it to save us," Dae-su said. "Just say you're sorry."

"Why should I say sorry?" Na-yeon asked. "I saw everything. I saw it grab his hand. I'm right! He might be infected."

"Na-yeon, that's enough," Ms Park said.

"It really touched him," Na-yeon protested.

"Does being touched mean he's infected?" Cheong-san asked.

"We don't even know if you can get infected from one of them grabbing you," Aeja agreed.

"Who knows?" Na-yeon replied. "It might."

"I held I-sak's hand before she fell," On-jo spoke up. "Why am I okay?"

"He had a wound on his hand," Na-yeon replied. "It's different when it's an open wound."

Aeja rolled her eyes at this.

"Think about it!" Na-yeon continued.

"Na-yeon, it's obvious you've hated Gyeong-su for ages, but accusing him of being a zombie when it's just a small cut is stupid," Aeja stepped forwards. "You might as well just say all of us are infected."

"I never said that," Na-yeon replied.

"Do you see anyone here without a scratch on them?" Aeja asked.
