[a/n- i also apologize in advance for multiple pov changes hehe]
no one's POV
the students of seongjin high trained for this moment.
the moment the spheres in the sky were to fall and ultimately attack.
exhausting their bodies— learning to yield a rifle.
yet a majority of the students signed up purely based on the government adding extra credit points for the CSAT.
none of them imagined anything like this...
————
screams filled the courtyard as hundreds of spheres began to invade the school grounds.
unarmed and terrified students are brutally slaughtered by the alien creatures that showed no signs of stopping.
in the midst of the chaos, spheres are shot down and disintegrated by the two lieutenants; lee taeyong and lee chunho. the ratio of military officers to spheres was unparallel.
inside the school, squadron four loads their guns with DU ammunition, geared up, and ready to fight back.
"try to stick together or with your lifelines— no one is dying today, right?" jaehyun insists.
"no sir!" the squadron shouts.
jaehyun nods at their response. "on my signal..." he orders.
minha takes the lead, directing the squadron behind her to an exit, right outside of the courtyard.
the only thing in between squadron and the screams of fear, is a glass door.
each of the pairs of 'lifelines' stand by each other and wait for the command.
from the side, hyerin starts to hyperventilate a bit.
jeno is by her side.
"hey, hey." he starts. "joo hyerin don't do this to me. we're in this together."
"i'm s-scared." she stutters.
"we are all scared. i'm shaking inside. if you weren't scared, i'd think something is wrong. this is absolutely real right now. we are literally running into danger. just stick to my side alright. i'll have your back, you'll have mine, right?" jeno claims.
hyerin nods and jeno wipes a stray tear from her cheek.
"okay, now—" jeno begins. he reaches up to tighten the loose strap of hyerin's helmet, brings her rifle that dangles on her shoulder up to her hands, and fixes her vest. "we got this."
at the front of the group, jaehyun and minha stand by the glass doors. they both scan the surrounding area, deeming it clear.
jaehyun mouths a countdown. 3...2...1... "go!" he shouts, as he and minha kick open the doors.
