Apocalyptic Adventure

Calling all Students

The rest of them looked confused and a little baffled at what he said. "Where would we go?" Joon-yeong asked, voicing everyones question. 

"The broadcasting room. It's two floors or so down from here," Cheong-san replied, as thought it were obvious. 

"Yeah, whoever has a death wish can go," Hyun scoffed. Cheong-san didn't reply, instead he stared at Gyeong-su. He was leaning aganst the door again and looked startled. 

"Yeah? What?" He asked Cheong-san. He didn't get an answer and he raised a brow. "What is it?" 

A few minutes later, Cheong-san was sticking his arm out of the door, which Gyeong-su had opened by a small sliver. He was trying to reach the hose that On-jo had used earlier to break the padlock on the door. He said that it would be long enough to tie into knots and everyone can throw it out the window and go down to the broadcasting room. 

Hyun glanced over at Nam-ra, raising an eyebrow. Na-yeon scoffed as she watched the others. Nam-ra had a small pack of neon yellow sticky notes in her hand and black sharpie. 

"Hey, if Su-Hyeok ends up coming into this room, we should leave a note for him so he knows where we are," She spoke softly, holding the post its and sharpie out towards Hyun. Hyun rolled her eyes in disbelief and frowned.

"I doubt zombies can read," she sighed and reluctantly took the notes. "This is stupid..."

"He's a good fighter, Hyun-ok, I doubt he's dead," Nam-ra said quietly.

"Hyun," Hyun spoke up.

"What?" Nam-ra glanced at Hyun in confusion.

"Hyun. Not Hyun-ok. Just Hyun."

Nam-ra sighed and nodded in understanding.

"Hey, prez, do you think Cheong-san's plan is going to work?" Wu-jin asked her while Hyun ripped off a sticky note and wrote a message on it. 

Nam-ra licked her lips thoughtfully, her head tilting slightly. "I have a feeling it'll work. Even if the hose is strong enough for us, we're going to have to go one at a time. And with the door having to be cracked open, we have to hurry to go down because the zombies could get in. And there's a lot of us, too, that could be a problem. But overall, I think it'll work." 

Hyun folded her arms and rolled her eyes, looking over at the logical girl. "I hate that you're so smart." Hyun sighed and leaned against the wall. She lightly scratched her arm sheepishly. 

"You're smart, too," She mumbled. 

Hyun scoffed. "Yeah, tell that to my parents." Hyun laughed slightly. "Only answers I guess is C's and D's."

"Why?" Nam-ra raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"My sister taught me," Hyun shrugged lightly. "C's if we're not sure, and D's if we're clueless. Not sure why C isn't the clueless one but okay."

Nam-ra hummed thoughtfully. "You know, if you ever need a tutor after this, I can help."

Hyun scoffed and shook her head. "Zombies can't learn."

"Hey," Nam-ra spoke, her voice above a whisper. "We're not dying."

"You're more logical," Wu-jin told Nam-ra, causing Hyun to glare at him.

"I'm logical too, Dingus," Hyun pouted and folded her arms.

"No," Wu-jin shook his head. "There's a difference between pessimistic and logical."

"I'm not pessimistic," Hyun rolled her eyes.

Wu-jin laughed slightly and shook his head.

"He got it!" Hyun heard Hyo-ryung exclaim, watching as Cheong-san successfully pulled the rope into the room. Gyeong-su shut the door, leaving it open by a sliver and helped Cheong-san pull it in. 
"Help me make some knots. Wrap it and tie it. So a hand or foot can fit." Cheong-san instructed as Gyeon-su and Ji-min helped him create knots. 

"Is this right?" Gyeong-su asked, holding up a knot he had created. Jim-in nodded and they continued to create the rope.

Hyun headed towards the window and grabbed the end, tossing it out. She glanced out of the window and grinned. She looked at Cheong-san, "We did it."

He came over and crouched on the window sill, getting ready to go down. "I'll go down and check the empty rooms. I'll call when it's clear, okay?" 

"Be careful," Gyeong-su patted him on the back and Cheong-san nodded. Hyun tilted her head and raised an eyebrow in amusement. He was gazing at On-jo, whose face was grief stricken and she was sitting down at a desk. Cheong-san sighed and pulled himself back into the classroom. 

"Gyeong-su, you go first." He suggested. Gyeong-su looked panicked at his friends sudden change and he peered out the window cautiously. 

"Why? Did you see something?" He asked and Cheong-san shook his head. 

"No. But you go first." He urged. 
Gyeong-su looked at Hyun, Ji-min, and Wu-jin. "What's down there?"

Hyun rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Wimp."

Eventually, Gyeong-su was descending down the rope. "I wanna go down first." Na-yeon demanded, shoving Hyun out of the way and into Nam-ra. Nam-ra glanced in surprise and held onto Hyun's arm.

"One person at a time. You might fall if it shakes too much." He blankly told the girl. She groaned. 

"Well, I won't shake it then. How long do you want me to wait?" Na-yeon asked, arms crossed as though she was going to throw a tantrum. 

"Na-yeon," Hyun pulled Na-yeon back and she sighed. "I get you're scared but you have to be patient."

"Fine..." Na-yeon groaned and leaned against Hyun.
 
"Hey, guys! Miss Park is here!" He called, looking up at all of them. 

Hyun urged Na-yeon forward, "You can go now."

She began to descend down the rope.

Hyun folded her arms. "I feel like she's just misunderstood, which is another reason for her attitude."

"I doubt it," Wu-jin glowered.

Hyun shrugs, helping Ji-min out the window. "You never know."

Now Hyun, On-jo, Cheong-san, and Wu-jin were the only ones left. Nam-ra had just gone down after sticking the post it note on the wall for Su-hyeok. Hyun looked at Wu-jin. "You go next." He shook his head, taking a step back from the window. 

"I'll go once you go. I already can't have my sister," He argued. Hyun sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Bitch, I will go after you," she responded. He frowned at her before going down the rope. Hyun looked up at Cheong-san who was next to her. "On-jo." 

He raised a brow, confused. "Didn't you just tell Wu-jin you'd go after him?" He asked her. She shrugged.

"On-jo's smaller and more fragile," Hyun spoke. "I can handle myself in a fight." He nodded and when Wu-jin got off the rope and into the broadcasting room, they both sent On-jo down next. 

"You're going next," Cheong-san told Hyun, glancing behind him. Hyun turned around, noticing the zombies start to break down the door. She raised an eyebrow.

"You have a death wish?" Hyun asked nonchalantly. "You have things to look forward to, I don't. People would actually be sad if you died. You go."

"She's in, let's go," Cheong-san said as he watched On-jo being pulled into the broadcasting room. He hopped out the window and scurried down the rope as quickly as he could, which was pretty damn fast.

Hyun folded her arms and stood there, just as zombies burst in. Hyun quickly turned around as a zombie jumped at her. She grabbed her dagger and stabbed it, quickly hopping onto the rope. Looking down, she noticed Cheong-san and the rest of the classmates looking up. She couldn't make out their panicked shouts as she started climbing down with Cheong-san.
