"Gangster"

Chapter 3 : First Attack

It's been 3 days. I haven't left Yoon - Jae's room once since I went to the supermarket. Against my wishes, I occasionally feed Yoon - Jae. It'll be something small, like a vegetable from his fridge or a few bites of my rameyon. I also give him water. Again, nothing much, just a few sips. If it was up to me he wouldn't eat at all, but if he dies I'll never find where that girl is.
I need to take a walk. This apartment is depressing, and I want to leave. I knock him out again and open the door, locking it behind me.
There's some loud screaming and banging from one of the other floors. It's very high up, but it's so loud that it's traveling through the staircase. I head over to the elevator to check it out. I go to press the button and it makes a loud screeching noise. I read the panel and see "OUT OF ORDER" in bold digital letters on the panel.
I head over to the stairs, slowly making my way up to the floors above.
There's a boy standing in the middle of the hallway on the 14th floor. His hair is long and messy, and he's barefoot, wearing only a hoodie and pajama pants. He's shaking like crazy, his eyes wide and dark. I can see a bulk box of rameyon behind him, the packets all over the floor, most of them ripped open. There's a large puddle of blood filled with cat hair leading into the room next to him. What the hell happened?
"D... Did you see that woman... Just now?" He stammers. He suddenly collapses, passing out onto the floor. I can't just leave him here. I open his door, grabbing him by the back of the shirt and dragging him in. I toss him onto his bed, throwing a blanket over him before leaving and closing the door behind me.
I don't feel right. What woman could that kid be talking about? I begin walking downstairs again. On the 12th floor, a girl runs up to me, wielding a bat. Her hair is dyed pink on the underneath and she's wearing a T-shirt, Jean shorts and knee high socks with sneakers.
"Hey, did you see that woman just now? I was playing music and she started punching my door for no reason! I wasn't even that loud this time." She says quickly. I walk over to her door, inspecting it. Her number plate has been taken off the door and the entire thing is covered in some serious dents. I ball up my hand, winding it back before punching her door with all my strength. The thick metal bends against my fist, wrapping around it.
"She wasn't punching it..., " I say, removing my hand. "She was ramming into it."
The girl looks at me, frightened. "Why was she doing that? I wasn't even doing anything!" I stare at her, spacing out. This woman must be the same one that kid downstairs was complaining about. Now I really need to get to my room.
"My name is Yoon Ji - Su, by the way. It's nice to meet you." She says. I nod before continuing down the hallway. I wonder where this lady is anyways. I begin strolling down the stairs again. It's a big stairwell, and the echo in there is insane. There's another girl in the stairwell, slowly walking down. She stares back at me, waving cutely and smirking at me. Suddenly, she fell down the stairs, her ankle making a big popping noise as she tumbled down the staircase.
"Aah!" She exclaims in shock. She sees me again, pulling out her phone and pretending to text someone. "I'm just resting, don't mind me." She says. She clearly isn't but whatever. I stare at her, about to help her up when something jumps and latches onto my back, her teeth digging deep into my shoulder.
I stumble a little bit, keeping my teeth clenched together. I knot my fingers into her hair and throw her as hard as I can into a light fixture as she tumbles down the stairs. I stare at the wound on my shoulder, feeling the blood trickle out onto my shirt. The girl on the floor looks terrified, her eyes wide and her hand shaking. As I turn around the girl comes running up the stars again. I grab her by the throat, staring into her face. There, on her for head, is the imprint of room number 1510, that girl with the pink hair from upstairs.
"It's you." I say. I slam her into the floor, her body contorting and twisting in unnatural ways. She jumps back up at me but I kick her head into the wall. I kick her again and again and again. I kick until she stops moving.
The girl on the floor is covered in blood, a little drop getting into her eyes. I grab her hand, putting her onto her feet. Me and the girl walk to the next floor. "My name is Eun - Yu, what's yours?" She smiles smugly as she says this. I roll my eyes. I stare at the elevator on this floor. It works. I light another cigarette and step in. Eun - Yu hops in next to me, pulling a cigarette from her skirt pocket and staring at me, twirling it between her fingers. I open my lighter and press the plunger, lighting her cigarette for her. She smiles at me and takes a long drag, blowing the smoke in front of me.
I press the button for the lobby, taking another drag from my cigarette. The lighter is in my other hand, and I roll it between my fingers. It's a cheap black one I got at the store and I really like it. The elevator lands on the first floor and Eun - Yu hops out first. A guy in a red flannel shirt grabs her and holds her arm as I step out. My hair is wild and messy and my shirt and face are slathered in blood. I look like a monster.
"What are you staring at?" I say, staring at them. The shopkeeper from before whispers something to a younger man in a gray shirt next to him. He circles around me, grabbing my shoulder and turning me.
"He has! He's been bitten!" He screams, sending the entire group into a panic. The shopkeeper points a tazer at me, pressing the trigger as I collapse into the floor. My mind and vision go black.
