The small date idea made Hyun-Jae very happy at the moment. Making her relax and think about something other than the zombies that wanted to eat them. She rubbed the back of his hand as she focused on him.

"Thank you Su-Hyeok." Hyun-Jae spoke.

"What for? You don't have to thank me."

"For this and for just being here and making me feel safe. Thank you."

"You're my girlfriend. I will keep you safe no matter what." He spoke.

"What if I am-?"

"Don't even think about." Su-Hyeok spoke seriously. "I am not going to let you get bit at all. I'm not going to lose you now that we've made it this far together."

"Su-Hyeok.."

"Have faith in me Jae. I will do anything to make sure that you don't get bit. Losing you.. I wouldn't know what to do with that. I wouldn't want to keep going but I want to.. to tell everyone of how great you are." He spoke. Glancing at her as he grabbed her hand. "So please. Don't think like that."

"I want you to be happy if anything does happen. You hear?" She spoke. "You can't die." She lightly moved her hand from his and held his chin. "You, Lee Su-Hyeok, are the best thing that has happened to me."

Su-Hyeok listened as he made her get up before pulling her to him and lightly placing her on his lap. Hugging her closer and not wanting to let go of her for any reason.

On-Jo watched as she was jealous and turned away focusing on the group leaving their messages on the camera that had been laying there. Waiting for her turn before speaking into the camera. Addressing her father to ignore the couple behind her.

Hyun-Jae quietly stayed on his lap and sat there. Listening to the group and their messages. She glanced away as she was losing hope that someone would come and find them. She was tired and wanted to go home already.Turning to her boyfriend at moment as she lightly laid her head on his shoulder. "Do you think they'll come?" She asked quietly.

Su-Hyeok listened to her as he glanced down at her. Running a hand through her hair a bit. "I don't know. I would hope that they do. We can't stay here forever and the food we have will not last." He spoke. "The zombies won't give up either. We're stuck here."

"Do you two want to leave a message?" On-Jo asked as she held out the camera for them to take.

Su-Hyeok listened as he glanced at Hyun-Jae. "Do you want to?" He asked.

Hyun-Jae quietly thought about it before nodding as she reached out and held the camera. Turning it to them. "Hello mom. Ga-Eul and I found dad again. We're all doing well in a way. We just need to find you and we will. This is my boyfriend. Lee Su-Hyeok. You might know him as Ga-Eul's best friend." She spoke. "Are you doing okay out there? I hope you are safe and you found a good spot to hide from all of this."

Ga-Eul listened to his sister talk as he glanced down. He knew that he wasn't normal anymore. He knew that it was pure coincidence that their father had found the same room they had. They got lucky in his eyes but what if they couldn't the next time. His mind was made up though. He'd leave the moment he couldn't control himself any longer.

"Mom.. I love you. Know that we are safe." Hyun-Jae spoke as she set the camera down once she was done. Turning to Su-Hyeok. "Do you want to leave a message?" She asked.

Su-Hyeok shook his head. "I'm fine.." He spoke as he rubbed her back a bit and gave a small smile. "I liked hearing your message. It gives me hope that maybe some people out there managed to survive." He spoke as he placed a strand of hair behind her ear.

Hyun-Jae quietly listened as she glanced at him before leaning her head more into his shoulder and closing her eyes as she nodded. Maybe there could be hope. She shouldn't give up too easily. She had to keep going. Especially for the friends they've already lost.

"I wish.." Hyun-Jae spoke. "I wish Gyeong-Su had gotten to be here and enjoyed eating. These were his favorite and I owed him a soda." She added before wiping her cheek. "He'll never get to taste it again."

Su-Hyeok rubbed her back as he hated seeing her get sad. "Gyeong-Su wouldn't want you to cry over what happened. He'd want you to make it out and fight back. He was scared and yet he fought back until he couldn't anymore." He spoke.

"I just.." Hyun-Jae listened as she wiped her cheeks. "I miss him. He was my best friend. This is all unfair. Like we're paying the price for something we never did. Innocent people.. friends, family, or strangers.. are all gone." She mumbled. "I hate it."

"I know." Su-Hyeok spoke quietly. Holding her closer to him and letting out a small sigh. Closing his eyes and laying his head over hers.

Cheong-San and the others listened quietly as they had finished eating and leaned back in their seats. He missed his best friend too. He would be right there with them if Na-Yeon hadn't chosen to kill him. He didn't know what he'd do if he ever saw her again.

Nam-Ra listened as she stayed with Ga-Eul calmly. Glancing out the window before turning to him. "Ga-Eul.."

"Hm?"

"Why did you agree to tie me to you? Aside from you already being bitten."

"I like you Nam-Ra. More than a friend should. I've liked you for a while but you were always busy and I didn't know how to tell you." Ga-Eul spoke as he glanced at her. "I know you might not feel the same way so I kept quiet."

"I never said I didn't."

"Well then.. do you?" He asked.

"Maybe.."

Ga-Eul smiled a bit at her as he got a smile back from her. Leaning down to her level as she closed her eyes.

Nam-Ra leaned up a bit as she gave him a small kiss before pulling away to see him blushing as she quietly chuckled.

Ga-Eul moved his hand and held hers as he chuckled too. "You're lucky you caught me off guard." He spoke as he stayed with her at the moment and smiled. Being happy to have confessed to her and have her listen to his feelings. Learning she felt the same way towards him was even better for him.

The small silence of the room was enough to get them to relax and calm down again to be able to come up with a good plan they could use to get themselves up to the roof top without getting killed or losing more people. It was a risky decision on their hands that they would have to make.

A decision that would cost them if they did it all wrong. It had to be well thought out. It wasn't until Hyun-Jae fully glanced around the room as she seemed to get an idea from what she was seeing. Grabbing the camera as she glanced at it before knowing who could help with what she had in mind.
