You huddled up close to Su-hyeok feeling the cold on your bare arms as the only warmth you had on your upper body was a revealing crop top. The rain still poured down on everyone as everyone cheered and cried all at the same time. That was until Cheong-san thankfully came through with an idea, at first he walked over to Joon-yeong to discuss the details which you were unable to hear.
Cheong-san and Su-hyeok built a small shelter with a green tarp that happened to be on the roof. Lucky you. Everyone stood under it you sitting on the floor leaning your back up against the wall and fiddling with the dagger between your fingers.
"If we manage to reach the mountain, we can make it all the way to Yangdong. I've been hiking there a few times before with my dad." On-jo mumbles crouching down
"Even still, isn't this suicide?" Wu-jin questions rubbing his lip also in a crouching position.
"I'm not going. I'm scared. What are we gonna do if the zombies catch us?" Hyo-ryung refuses as your eyes stay glued to the dagger
"It's not like anyone is going to save us if we stay here. We're the only ones who can save ourselves. Let's go. If anything goes wrong, i'll scream and lead the zombies away. That way none of you will get hurt, okay? So let's do this." Cheong-san states as he walks up in front of the group. You stop messing around with the dagger and grasp it tighter looking up at Cheong-san.
"Don't say that. We're all gonna make it." Su-hyeok speaks up from beside you getting out of his crouching position.
"If anyone has to die tonight, it will—" Cheong-san starts
"...Will not be you." You cut him off standing up and glaring at him. Cheong-san and you remain to glare at each other until Nam-ra cuts off the tension.
"Because of the rain, all of the scents came to me at once. They got mixed up. The rain is really loud too. I'm sure the zombies' senses are dulled." Nam-ra exclaims looking up at Cheong-san
"If that's what a half-bie says, it should be reliable." Dae-su agrees
"What'd a half-bie?" You and Su-hyeok question in union looking at Dae-su
"A half zomb...someone you can rely on. You guys ready? Nam-ra is strong. She'll keep up. Let's take her word and go." Dae-su saves himself as he looks down towards Nam-ra
"I'm not strong right now." Nam-ra mumbles looking at her hands
"Why not?" Ji-min questions
"I don't know." She answers honestly
"Loud noises I assume, plus the messing with your senses due to rain." You assume and Ji-min plus Nam-ra only nod.
"I think some of us might not be able to keep pace." Ji-min states looking up to Cheong-san
"We can't have anyone fall behind, let's pair up and hold hands. For protection." Cheong-san orders and you shove your hands in your pocket not liking the idea of physical touch to be a use of protection.
"Okay! Hey." Dae-su says but gets rejected as Hyo-ryung and Ji-min link hands. He turns his attention towards Su-hyeok but Su-hyeok walks over to you so then he turns towards Wu-jin
"Wu-jin. Let's go." Joon-yeong interferes
"Okay." Wu-jin agrees
"Hey." Dae-su greets On-jo but Cheong-san beats him and those two link up.
"Stay close behind me. Let's survive tonight. We'll talk about us later." Cheong-san states and they walk off
"Y/n, you need your hand out." Su-hyeok complains as he tries to pull your hands out of your pocket. You watched Dae-su get rejected by every person he tried to link his hand with.
"You pair up with Nam-ra." You order and Su-hyeok frowns
"What about you?" He questions and you push yourself off the wall and hold out your hand for Dae-su. He giddy's and snatches your hand into his own with a beaming smile.
"I'll go with Dae-su." You mumble and Su-hyeok curses under his breath before pairing with Nam-ra
"I'll protect her!" Dae-su calls out
"I'll be protecting you, now move." You order coldly and he instantly does as you say. You hold the dagger in your unoccupied hand as you stay behind Dae-su. You eye everywhere waiting for an attack the dagger tight in your grasp.
Cheong-san slowly opens the rooftop door and everyone follows behind him with caution.
"Careful. Careful." Ji-min urges
"Okay." Hyo-ryung whispers.
"Don't let go of my hand." Wu-jin whispers to Joon-yeong who's having trouble to see without his glasses. Cheong-san starts going down the stairs everyone following you close behind. You and Dae-su remain at the back. Su-hyeok putting his fingers to his lips while glaring at Dae-su
"Okay." Dae-su whispers squeezing your hand. You close the door quietly as you could but it still made a clicking sound making everyone flinch as you bite your lip. You turn around to see everyone glaring at you
"What are you doing?" Su-hyeok scowls quietly
"Trying to attract zombies. What does it look like?" You snap back quietly and Su-hyeok only sighs shaking his head
"Don't scold my partner." Dae-su decides to invite himself
"Keep moving." You order seeing Cheong-san start walking again, he checks up on On-jo first though. But eventually you all start heading down the stairs again in slow steps not wanting to make any sort of noise.
Dae-su walking oddly down the stairs making you grimace at his actions. You nudge him to walk normally and he only grumbles under his breath before continuing to walk as if he was walking on water.
Everyone started picking up the pace the more stairs they went down but all of a sudden came to a complete stop
"What's wrong?" Wu-jin questions
"Hold on." Cheong-san mumbles and you tighten your grip on the dagger and Dae-su squeezes your hand.
"Can you see them?" Wu-jin questions. The loud sound of thunder came crashing into everyones ears. The zombies snarled and growled before running off
"It's gone." Cheong-san informs with a nod as everyone starts walking down the staircase with caution. Wu-jin slipped but lucky enough caught himself with a bit of help from Joon-yeong. Thankfully it went unnoticed by the zombies
"Idiot." Dae-su snickers and you roll your eyes at his childish behaviour
"Ready? Let's go." Cheong-san orders as you ran past the corridor with the zombies in. Dae-su holding a wooden stick with him as he breathes heavily and loudly.
