Hyun-Jae quietly hummed as she walked to the archery area. Heading inside as she walked towards the back. Grabbing her bow and a few arrows still around. Heading back to the targets at the front as she choose a spot. Getting into position before aiming as she took a deep breathe in and out as she released.

Hitting the target as she grinned to herself and was glad to still be able to at least get a bullseye. Raising the bow once more as she knew she had to get a bit faster. Being quicker in letting go as she sighed in relief when she hit the target again.

She took a deep breathe before aiming as she concentrated before lossing focus when she began to hear screaming from outside. Not any normal scream but screams of terror as she walked outside to check what was going on. Seeing a student down with another ontop.

"Hey! What are you doing?! Get off!" She spoke as she took a step closer.

The student turning to her as their face was puffy with blood and skin on their teeth. Growling at her as they got up from whoever they were eating before charging her way.

"W-what are you doing?!" Hyun-Jae moved back as she tripped over her own feet in shock. Blocking with her bow as she sent the student back after a struggle. Scrambling to her feet as she aimed and shot.

Shaking lightly at what she had done before rushing inside as she got more arrows and knew she had to head back to the classroom. She had to make sure her friends were okay. Closing two containers of arrows as she carried them on her back before leaving.

It was risky seeing as how many students and teachers were running as she couldn't aim at all of them moving around so much. Kicking a few away from her and glancing around. "Nam-Ra! Su-Hyeok!" She spoke up once she spotted them.

Su-Hyeok was relieved to see her as he ushered her over to them. Glancing at their surroundings as he spotted the steps near the window.

Hyun-Jae walked over as she shot one down that was going to reach for her. Noticing the two. "Are you two okay?" She asked.

Su-Hyeok nodded. "We're fine. We need to climb there to get back to the classroom." He spoke.

Hyun-Jae nodded. "You two go first." I can hold a few of them off."

"No. You and Nam-Ra go first."

"We don't have time for this. Go."

Su-Hyeok hesitated before nodding as he headed up first and knocked on the window. Scaring the others in the room before Dae-Su opened and helped him inside.

Nam-Ra glanced at her friend before rushing upstairs and being helped inside by Su-Hyeok and Dae-Su.

"Come on Hyun-Jae!" Su-Hyeok.

"Hyun-Jae!" Ga-Eul spoke up as he looked out the window and waited for his sister.

Hyun-Jae shot down those closest to her before climbing up as she was helped inside before lightly laying on the floor out of breathe. "That sucked." She mumbled. "Zombies... they're zombies out there." She huffed and sat up.

Su-Hyeok holding his hand out for her at the moment as he gathered his own breathe.

Hyun-Jae held his hand before getting up as she thanked him and glanced around to see who had made it. Seeing Kim Ji-Min, Yoon I-Sak, Yang Dae-Su, Oh Joon-Yeong, Seo Hyo-Ryung, Jang Woo-Jin, Han Gyeong-Su, Lee Cheong-San, Lee Su-Hyeok, Nam On-Jo, Lee Na-Yeon, Choi Nam-Ra, Jin Ga-Eul, and another girl from their class.

"So.. what do we do now?" Ga-Eul spoke up at the moment.

Joon-Yeong and Gyeong-Su holding the doors shut when the zombies began to bang on the doors and try to get in.

Na-Yeon watched as she patted Hyun-Jae. "S-shoot them. Can't you kill them or something?"

"No. Opening the door with so many is a risk alone. Opening the window is just an opportunity for them to get in. We need to wait." Hyun-Jae spoke.

"We need to find a phone." On-Jo spoke up. "To call for help."

"Yeah but they took our phones." Joon-Yeong spoke shakily as he ignored the faces on the door.

"We look for one." On-Jo spoke.

"I have mine." Hyun-Jae spoke up.

"I thought you said you left it at home." Su-Hyeok spoke.

"I might have lied." Hyun-Jae shrugged lightly. Setting her bow down as she walked to her desk before looking through her bag before finding it as she sighed in relief and turned it on. Waiting for it to turn to the home screen.

"I found one!" I-Sak spoke up as she found a different one and turned it on. "It works too." She added.

Cheong-San walked over as he took it before trying to look for the owner of the phone though the window as he spotted the girl and tried to use her face to unlock the phone.

"You know you don't have to unlock it to make emergency calls, right?" On-Jo spoke up as she looked at him like he should have known better.

Cheong-San listened before clearing his throat as he moved away from the door and called the police right away.

"Police. What's your emergency?"

"Hello? I'm at Hyosan High School right now. Zombies showed up. Everyone turned into zombies." Cheong-San spoke into the phone.

"You can't say zombies." On-Jo spoke.

"Then what?"

"They won't believe you."

Cheong-San listened before speaking again. "They're not zombies. They're something like that." He spoke.

"Right. Hyosan High, zombies. I'll just take your information now." The man spoke. "Please state your name and number. You do know there's a fine for making false reports, right?"

"This isn't a prank." Cheong-San protested. "Everyone.. please come quick." He added.

"Okay." The man spoke calmly. Writing in his name and number down. "There. Stay in a safe place where you won't be bit. We're heading out right away."

Cheong-San listened as the call soon ended before sighing. "Hopefully they listened and will come." He mumbled to himself.

The zombies still outside as Hyun-Jae did her best to stay away from the doors and holding her phone close. Having only one person in mind to call. Knowing she couldn't call their dad. Sound attracted them and her dad liked his ring tone. She wouldn't risk it. Not even if she wanted him there with them.
