The black-haired boy was sleeping soundly until he heard Na-yeon's voice and the sound of hungry zombies. Waking up, he saw I-sak collapse on the floor and with his instincts, he quickly crawls towards her to see what was wrong, and why was On-jo getting dragged away from her.

Byeol-han was about to help the girl until he heard bones cracking, the girl then turns, laying in her back and lifted her stomach to the air. Seeing this, the boy's worried face turn to a horrified look and backed away a little.

The girl then soon started to move weirdly, her body moving like something else besides a human can move like. I-sak got up, a strange expression in her face, like she's there, but not actually there. Byeol-han stood up to his feet, and heard his sisters plead of telling I-sak to not do anything.

Sadly, the girl had turn into those flesh eating zombies, and charged right towards On-jo, fortunately, Cheong-san pushed the girl away from them before grabbing a stool as a way to shield himself and as a weapon to push her back.

Both sibling start to cry, with On-jo pleads for Cheong-san to stop and Byeol-han shocked to do anything. How the hell did this happen? She was fine when he was awake, and now she is somehow those things out there?

And before he knows it, Cheong-san pushed I-sak with his body to a window, which made his yell for her name, scared that she actually would fall off the window, but the now zombified I-sak held her ground, but her fingers start to slip until she start to fall, but Byeol-han quickly rushed to her and grabbed her arm without second thoughts.

Tears were falling, and it seems like it won't stop. He starts to pull her body upwards until Cheong-san came over and tried to pry off his hands to let go of the girl, he was about to succeed until On-jo came and also started to hold onto the girl like her life depends on it.

The taller one started to yell at them, to let go of the girl, but no one complied.

Memories of I-sak and him started to take over his mind, recalling the good times both spend with each other. It was sad, he was determine to not let go, and On-jo was too. More and more tears were forming in their eyes.

He just couldn't bring himself to let go, I mean, who wouldn't, having to let go of you best friend out a window seems to brutal for anyone.

Byeol-han was about to use his injured hand to pull I-sak up until Cheong-san had somehow gotten a stool and smashed it against I-sak's hand. He successfully let the zombie girl let go of both Byeol-han's and On-jo's hand, both siblings stared down the window, watching the girl fall until she lands harshly on the ground.

On-jo slowly walked backwards from the window while Byeol-han just looked outside, tears rapidly falling down on his face. Cheong-san tried to comfort the girl but she just crouched down and cried.

No one utter a word out, Cheong-san slowly turned away from the girl and turn his direction towards Byeol-han. Putting a hand in his shoulder, he was about to speak up until the cheerful boy turned, and you can easily say that it broke some's hearts on how distraught the boy looked.

His eyes became puffier by the tears falling down his cheeks, his nose and cheeks red while sniffing his nose. One eye visibly bloody red from the blood from a while ago, he looked like he was done with everything.

It especially broke Cheong-san's heart, he just wanted to hug the boy and comfort him, whisper that he'll be alright and nothing to worry about.

The boy was about to hug him until the other dodge him and left the window to sit in one of the stools. It just broke more of Cheong-san's heart, he usually never rejects his hugs, but this is a first.

Byeol-han couldn't even think straight, he sat there thinking what just happened, he really couldn't process that whatever happen, actually happen.

'Did I-sak really die?...'

'Why did she have to turn...'

'Is she alive after falling down the flight of stairs...'

'What about Su-hyeok...'

'Is he even alive...'

His mood went even worse not knowing if Su-hyeok is even alive right now or not. He should've stayed and helped the boy come back to group safely.

He didn't even realize that the room was empty except one other, he was only focusing on what happened with two people he cared. The boy felt a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the window, which made him stop thinking.

Finally realizing that there's no one in the room but himself and Cheong-san, the boy tried to break free from his grasp, but the other was too stubborn to let go, but Byeol-han was also stubborn at the moment, so he tried to break free once again.

"Stop!" The sudden outburst made the boy stop, and he only looked at his other best friend, he couldn't take it anymore, he seen one of his closest best friends die, lost Su-hyeok in the process of running away, and had killed two people while trying to survive.

Only thing the boy did was start crying again, but harder. It was too much for him, so he just cried. Tears and more tears came down his eyes, he couldn't stop, that is until he felt to hands on his cheeks, wiping away the tears.

Looking up, he saw Cheong-san looking straight back at him. The boy softly wiped the shorter's tears away, no emotion in his face that describe what he is feeling right now.

If felt comforting, the dancer was about to speak up until the best friend pushed him to the window, hinting at him to climb down to get to safety, and he complied. Looking out the window, he saw that they had to go at least 2 floors down, go the broadcasting room.

Carefully but quickly, the boy started to climb down the rope to get to safety, but not without worrying if the boy above will make it in time before the zombies break into the science room.

Making it to the last knot, the boy looked in front of him to see Ms. Park next to the window. Seeing her made the boy grow a bright smile, knowing that an adult he trust is here. Gyeong-su and Ms. Park helped the boy get inside, grabbing him by his arm while he set his foot on the floor.

Setting himself, the boy turned to the teacher and engulfed her in a tight hug, in which she was surprised, but hugged him back, happy to see another student was alive.

Breaking the hug, the boy was about to express the relief he feels until something falls pass through the window, seeming like a body. This alerted Byeol-han, Cheong-san is still not here, was that him.

Everyone stared at the window, it was like time froze for everyone, no one moved a muscle or even tried to.

'Cheong-san?...'
