"Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come."
Or
When a teenage girl who has decided to make herself invisible for the rest of her schooling suddenly finds herself mixed up with a group of losers during a zombie apoc...

Denial.
This was the only explanation that could explain Yuna's silence and prostrate state. She and Su-Hyeok had returned to the classroom. But not surprisingly, the reunion was less enthusiastic than expected. Especially since Cheong-San was absent.
Well, it had been.
For a moment.
Tae-min had been the first to jump on her.
Honestly, Yuna had never received so many hugs from him as she had since the beginning of the damn apocalypse. She was seriously starting to think he was a hugger.
Anyway, she had been trying to stay away from him since their return.
The look On-jo had given her when Su-Hyeok had explained what had happened was unmistakable. She was angry with her. Probably for more than one reason.
Unfortunately, there was little she could do to help the girl.
She wasn't even the one who had declared herself.
Tae-min had done everything for her.
As for Lee Cheong-San... Yuna recognized her share of responsibility.
She had not dissuaded him. She even came with him.
At the mere thought, Yuna winced in frustration before bringing her thumb to her lips. As she had done since yesterday, she began to nibble nervously on the cuticles around her nail.
She bit so hard that a hissing sound soon left her lips.
She immediately removed her thumb from her lips just to see a piece of skin missing. She gagged at the sight of blood dripping from the wound before quickly hiding her hand between her thighs.
She returned her eyes to the wall in front of her instead.
However, that was until she felt a presence at her side.
From the imposing feel of the person beside her, Yuna didn't even have to look at him to know that it was Tae-min. There was only him and his vastness that could hide the sun warming her profile as well.
He remained silent for a clearly considered moment before finally expressing himself, concerned."How do you feel?"
"Like shit." She answered through clenched teeth."This is all because of me."
"Yah, have you lost your mind? How is this your fault?" He immediately defended."Hey, look at me."
Yuna kept her eyes fixed on the wall.
Tae-min hesitated for a moment in front of the stubborn teenager before finally raising his hand. He took her chin between his fingers before forcing her to look at him.
Surprisingly, Yuna let him do it this time.
She swallowed as she made eye contact with the boy before lowering her eyes in shame.
