"I wasn't! I wasn't! Did none of you see?!" He pressed the soft paper to his nose, his voice slightly muffled. He glared at Na-yeon, starting towards her as she stepped back. "What is your fucking problem with me?"

"You were bitten!" She turned to the teacher, "I-sak got a nosebleed right before she turned." She turned to On-jo. "On-jo, you saw it. Right? That's the same thing that happened to I-sak."

"Gyeong-su-"

Gyeong-su interrupted the teacher, stumbling over his words. "I-I'm telling you! I wasn't bit!" He sighed, wiping his nose with his hand. "Shit."

"Look," Na-yeon said, "Your hand. Explain that. What is it?"

"I got it from the computer. Didn't you see that?!" He scoffed when the girls took a step back with a gasp when he walked towards them. "Don't you trust me? I can't believe this. I got this trying to save all of you."

"I believe him," Hyun-woo said as Cheong-san walked to Gyeong-su, looking over the scratch. Na-yeon glared at the older twin as On-jo looked at him, with a slight wide eyed, scared look. He ignored Na-yeon, giving his twin a small, reassuring smile as he stood up with everyone else. Waiting anxiously for Cheong-san's comment.

"It's not a bite. It's a scratch." Cheong-san concluded. "Whoever wants to check, come look."

Su-hyeok kept Hyun-woo behind him as the two inspected the scratch.

"It's a scratch," Hyun-woo looked smugly at Na-yeon.

"Definately just a scratch," Su-hyeok agreed, looking at Na-yeon. Miss Park then agreed with them, securing it. He wasn't infected.

"Done yet?" Gyeong-su asked and Hyun-woo felt bad for the smaller boy. Na-yeon just wouldn't leave him alone. He put a hand on his shoulder gently. "I said, are you done with me now?!"

"Wait, this means the computer's gone," Joon-yeong realised.

"No internet... couldn't you have thrown something else instead of the computer?"

"What was I supposed to do? It was trying to get in."

"No, you did good. Thank you. Don't be mad." Dae-su walked towards the girls. "Hey, Na-yeon. Look, say sorry. End this."

"Why should I?" She challenged and Hyun-woo pinched the bridge of his nose with a sigh. He could feel a headache blooming at the front of his forehead again.

"He did it to save us all. Why can't you just say that you're sorry?"

"Because I'm not sorry. I saw everything. I saw the creature grabbed you."

"You saw everything, yet you did nothing to help," Hyun-woo interrupted, glaring at her from the side of his eye. "Do you want to be in Gyeong-su's position instead?"

"I'm right!" She glared at him and Hyun-woo straightened, walking next to Dae-su. "He could be infected."

"Na-yeon," Sun-hwa interrupted, "enough."

"It really did. That thing grabbed his hand."

"Wait, can touching his hand infect him?" Cheong-san asked.

"I have no idea but maybe."

"I held I-sak's hand when she fell," On-jo said. "Why is nothing happening to me?"

"Because he has a cut on his hand. And since there's an open wound, it's probably gonna be different."

"That's fucking-" Cheong-san, Su-hyeok and Hyun-woo stopped Gyeong-su from advancing. Hyun-woo's fist clenched and unclenched, and every second time he opened his eyes, his vision was red and clouded.
