As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. (Lee Su-hyeok x Reader)

„Su-hyeok, where's Cheong-san?" On-jo quietly asked the heavy-breathing boy.

Now, I also noticed that the second boy was missing. I ran to the window looking for Cheong-san. Sadly, the boy was nowhere seen. I turned back to the group, seeing On-jo's hopeful face scanning Su-hyeok.

The boy was standing in the middle of the room, all eyes on him. He avoided eye contact and remained silent when On-jo asked again, „Where is Cheong-san?", her voice sounding like she was at the edge of breaking down.

Su-hyeok looked up again, taking a deep breath, „We got separated in the teacher's office but... I'm sure he'll be fine."

A tear ran down On-jo's cheek. Everybody looked empty, not knowing what to say.

„Are you serious? Oh, shit!" Cursed Dae-su after a while.

„I'm sorry... for coming back alone."

„Yah, Su-hyeok. It is not your fault, okay?" I reassured the boy, softly taking his hand, „And On-jo, Cheong-san will be fine. I know it."

A sad silence overcame the room. Everyone sat down, hoping that Cheong-san would come back again eventually.

*TIME SKIP*

Su-hyeok and I were sitting on the floor, silent. Looking around the room I spotted On-jo, still crying at the window, „I'm gonna be right back."

Just as I stood up, Su-hyeok pulled me on the floor again, „No, let me talk to her. It's my fault at the end of the day."

Not knowing what to say I stayed silent, watching him slowly approach On-jo. I stared at them for a couple of seconds, before sitting down next to Joon-yeong.

„Hey, Y/N." The boy softly smiled at me.

„Hey. Are you okay?" I asked, noticing the boy's really pale face.

„Yeah, just a bit stressed, you know? I wasn't really prepared for a zombie apocalypse to happen."

Chuckling slightly, I nodded in agreement, when suddenly On-jo called out our names, „Y/N, Joon-yeong. Didn't you guys mention that your science club made a drone?"

We nodded at the same time, a bit confused.

Joon-yeong and I are in the science club for years. That's also the place where we got to know each other and became such good friends.

It took us a moment to understand why On-jo was asking, „You want to look for Cheong-san with it?"

The girl looked at us, eyes widened, „Could we?"

„Technically, we could. But it's in the science Lab, remember?" I explained, not wanting to destroy my best friend's hope.

On-jo on the other hand didn't let the truth intimidate her, „We can go get it.", she stated, confident with her words.

„How? The school is filled with zombies and I'm not risking my life for it."

„Yeah, Joon-yeong is right. On-jo, look. I want to help you, I really do but... it is too dangerous."
