Through the worst (Su Hyeok x OC)

Chapter 3

(Excuse my poor editing skills, but here's a picture of On-jo, Jae-din, and I-sak)

~~~Jae-din~~~

   I didn't sleep for long, a couple minutes at most. As soon as I let myself relax, I saw their faces. Chin-hwa...Dead. I-sak....Dead. Su-hyeok...Gone.

   I sat back up and stared at the wall, trying to blink away their faces. From the corner of my eye I saw Cheong-san approach On-jo.

   She was sitting at a table, staring at it with no emotion. Ji-min and Hyo-ryeong were standing next to her, trying their best to comfort her.

Cheong-san stood in front of the table for a second, but then walked away. I stopped watching him and looked back at the wall.

"Let's go," Cheong-san broke the silence, causing everyone to look at him. "We're not gonna last here much longer," he added.

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

"We're surrounded..We can't just go out there. We're gonna lose even more people if we do," I said. It was silent for a moment, then Cheong-san spoke again.

"The hose from earlier. Gyeong-su," He said, turning towards his friend.

"Yeah? What?" The boy questioned.

"Open it just a few inches. Enough for the hose to fit,"he instructed, as he walked towards the door.

"Hey. Are you crazy. You'll get bit if you try that," I warned. I strode towards them and stopped next to the pair.

"Yeah. Isn't it better to wait for the rescuers to come save us?" Gyeong-su pressed. I nodded along with him and looked at Cheong-san for his reply.

I didn't really believe that we were going to be rescued. I just didn't want to risk Cheong-san, or anyone else getting bit.

"We might all die before the time they arrive," he replied. I could tell he wasn't gonna change his mind about this.

"This will kill us faster. It's just gonna be-," Gyeong-su started.

"Is waiting for someone to save us the best thing we can do?" Cheong-san interrupted.

"It's the smartest thing we can do. Anything else is stupid and dangerous," I argued.

"Look, I know you've lost three of your closest friends... Su-hyeok was my best friend too. But I'm telling you, if we don't find a way out, all of us are dead," Cheong-san explained.

I stared at him for a moment, searching his eyes for any doubt. There was none. He knows he can do this. He knows we need to do this.

I sighed in defeat, then nodded my head at him. I can't stop him, so I just need to help him. I need to make sure he doesn't get hurt. We turned our attention to Gyeong-su, who had been watching us.

"But...We...Oh, whatever. If I turn into a zombie, I'm gonna be so mad," he gave in. 'Me too, Gyeong-su, me too,' I thought.

Gyeong-su got closer to the door, and slowly began sliding it open. Cheong-san got on his stomach and reached his hand out the door.

I anxiously watched as his hand got closer and closer to the hose. He almost had it, but a zombie girl walked past the door. He quickly retracted his hand as she walked past.

"Careful, careful," I hastily whispered. He looked back at me and nodded. He turned his body, and used his other hand to reach out.

Just then, another zombie walked past. This time, the zombie's foot dragged the hose further away.
