*Previously*

I suddenly tear up thinking back to my mom and brother, who should have been here a long time ago. I was holding on to the smallest sliver of hope for them but after what had happened just a minute ago there was no way they could get here without dying. I took all of my weapons off of me and I curled up into a ball and softly cried.

Hyun-su saw this and hesitantly put a hand on my back. He then moved it to my shoulder and gently pulled me into his embrace. I then softly cried in his arms. What I failed to notice was Hyun-su looking over at Du-sik and Du-sik nodding with a thumbs up. After 5 minutes I stopped crying and quickly fell asleep in his arms.

*Present*

I wake up and see the other two people here alongside the lady that was meant to be dead, telling me that she is also an infected. I stand up and quickly grab my spear that was next to me. I then walk up to her and pointed my spear at her. "Why are you here?" I ask on alert. They others quickly reacted and told me that she meant no harm. "If you turn I'll kill you" I say. She nods. "Okay. I also understand why your like this. You feel the need to protect those you care about. That's completely understandable. So if I do turn, you'll kill me" She says calmly, too calmly which makes me feel bad. I walk over to the window and look out to what was now Korea. It looked like a war had just happened. Everything looked abandoned in just a couple of days. 

I hear a door open and I see Hyun-su walk out of the Restroom. "Come over here and sit down" Du-sik says to him. He walks over and sits down. "You can start without me. I'm going to wash up" I say. I walk over to my bag and grabbed what I needed, hiding the fact that I grabbed a knife while getting what I needed and went into the restroom, closing the door behind me. I pulled my hair back and washed my face.

I then pat my face dry and looked at myself in the mirror. "You can't hide them forever." Sorrow says as she pulls my sleeve up to show the scarred sentences. "The torture you went through was your fault, plus, no out there likes you. You're not worth it" She says. I let a tear fall as I thought it was true. "You know what to do. It's something you haven't done in years" Sorrow whispers in my ear. I then look at the knife. "Yes. Cut. It will help" She says. I grab the knife and place it on my wrist. As I was going to cut the door opens to reveal Ji-su. "What are you doing?!" 

*Ji-su pov*

We were waiting on Y/n despite her telling us to start without her. I then notice that it has been almost 20 minutes so I decide to check up on her. I knock on the door to get no response. I then open the door to see her with a knife on her wrist. "What are you doing?!" I exclaim in shock. This caught their attention and turned their heads towards us. I rush over to get the knife away but she took the advantage of me pulling it to press down, causing her to get a slash on her wrist. "Why were you doing that?" I ask worried.

Even though I didn't know her that well we can afford to lose someone. Hyun-su walks over and sees the cut on her wrist. His eyes then show sorrow and he gets the first aid. This causes them to be worried. Y/n then gets pissed and shoves us out and locks the door. "Just leave me be for a bit" She says. "I'll get myself together. Just eat without me" She says sadly. I sigh and we walk back to the table and we continued to wait.

*Y/n pov*

I look in the mirror and see Light. "Why did you do that?" She asks. "They nee-No. No they don't. No one needs me." I say sadly. My shoulder blades then really hurt and I see spikes growing from my back. "Yes they do. You named me Light for a reason. I'm your side that wants to live and protect those you care about. Now please. Think about the others." I then thought back to Yeong-su and Su-yeong, and how I promised to protect them. To Hyun-su, how I was with him ever since he was here and the fact that he told me about his past, a secret that I would take with me to the grave.

To the others, how we had to survive together, and make it out alive, to my mom, brother and my dads, how I had to survive for them to continue the bloodline. If there is a chance to. The spikes then went back into my skin and I lost feeling in my legs so I caught myself with the sink. I look into the mirror to see that Light was no longer there. I then clean everything up and exited the restroom. I then put everything away and sat at the table with Yeong-su on my lap as it was a small table. "Lets' eat up" We all start to dig in and Jae-heon starts to pray.
