Part 8

"What am I doing wrong? No one has introduced themself to me." She stood by herself in the meeting room, hearing whispers around her. She couldn't tell if they were about her, but it was still unsettling. Looking at her hand she saw it had started to heal, but not quickly. Now that she knew she could control her healing she felt a weight lift from her shoulders. If they ever escaped she knew it would come in handy if people didn't see that she was a monster.

Her stomach rumbled, forcing her to move to get breakfast. She saw a line of people holding food trays, so she grabbed one for herself. A woman in an orange jumpsuit stood behind her in the line. "Are you new?" She asked softly to Ju-na.

"Yeah, I'm the new girl." She reached the front of the line, getting a spoonful of a weird liquidy substance and a rice ball before looking around the room. A bunch of people sat on a bench, watching her. She nodded at them politely before walking towards a table a distance away.

Sitting down, she saw the jumpsuit woman following her. "I'm Seo Yi-Kyung. Nice to meet you." She smiled before sitting down and starting on her food. "Sung Ju-na." The two women sat in silence before they were joined by Ji-su, who sat beside Ju-na.

"Hey guys, isn't breakfast great today. I think I can see my porridge breathing." Ju-na snorts in response while Yi-kyung laughs softly. "I take it Eun-Hyeok let you in. Did he know about the stealing?" She kicked her friend under the table, glancing at the older woman across from them.

"It's fine, the food supply wasn't that low. Just don't steal anymore." "Yes, Yi-kyung." She glared at Ji-su, who grinned in response. "What's with the get-up Yi-kyung? It's very fire-fighter, but why?"

Ju-na was curious about that as well. It wasn't a very good fashion choice. But she can't really talk, wearing a slightly torn singlet covered by a dirty flannel shirt. Not to mention her short pants, perfect for a lazy day, not so much for the apocalypse.

"My clothes were stuck in a monsters web, so I had to get rid of them." "Was this when you fixed the power?" "You fixed the electricity," Ju-na reaches out her hand and places it on the woman, "I say this with my whole heart, thankyou. If you ever need anything, just ask."

Yi-kyung smiled at her, patting her hand. "I didn't have a choice, Eun-Hyeok made it seem like life or death." "What a dickless loser, making you do his errands."

"Who's a dickless loser?" The trio turn to look at a girl her age. She had headphones around her neck and wore an oversized jacket. "Just Eun-Hyeok." Ju-na said, receiving a kick under the table from both women sitting with her.

The girl raised her eyebrows in response, unimpressed. "So, we're just letting anybody into the sanctuary now. Are you sure you aren't turning?" She sat next to Yi-kyung, staring at Ju-na. "Not the last time I checked." Ju-na said slowly, confused as to why she was getting abused under the table. She grabbed her cup of water taking a drink

The girl stuck out her hand over the table, "I'm Lee Eun-yu." Ju-na spluttered in response, coughing on the water she was drinking. "Lee? As in Lee Eun-Hyeok?" "That would be right."

She reached out her hand, shaking the girls outstretched one. "Sorry, he's not a dickless loser. I'm sure he has a... you know, and he's probably not a lose..." She shut her mouth at the look Ji-su was giving her.

Smooth Ju-na, real smooth. Eun-yu smiled at her, "I like you," she stood up to leave before looking down at her "If we are going to be friends, try not to think about my brother's dick anymore. OK?"

"You got it, Eun-yu!" She does a thumbs up, watching until the girl moves out of eye sight. She groans, putting her head on the table in embarrassment. Yi-kyung tuts and pats her head. "Someone put me outside, let the monsters have me." Ji-su chuckles, "No way, I finally have some form of entertainment now."
