The Mist

Chapter 5: Parting Ways is not the end yet

I tried to survive this outbreak but I guess I won't die being eaten by biters, Namamatay lang Ako dahil sa taong nakapaligid sakin.

"JAYDEN!!"

Biglang lumabo Ang paningin ko at nahilo Ako. Tanging naaninag ko nalang ay Ang mga paang patungo sakin at...

*BOGSH*

ETHAN'S POV:

"Stop! Don't worry I was there when she got this wound, it's not from bitters, it's from a gun, we gotta move now".

Jayden Reyes, just a simple office worker that I just met because I was assigned to their company during the outbreak. A girl that seems very plain and simple, yet got my attention. I dunno why but there's something inside me that wants her to be all mine and keep her safe.

We've just encounter in office, hospital then got separated. I thought we'll never met again but then I received signals at the radio calling for help.

This means SOS, it's a Morse Code. We use this for survival signals to communicate other soldiers.

Actually I'm not a Soldier. I'm Just a GUY in Korea that was forced to get married by my grandmother, he wants me to inherit her company, but I don't want to. I never got inloved my entire life is messed up.

I'm Ethan Lee, 21 years old, from Korea. I own modeling agencies in my country and famous brandlines such as Chabel, Luis Viction, and Michaela Corsa. I graduated earlier in Arts at Seoul University and studied business and computer tech. I have a programming company and develop famous games such as Talk on Duty, aimbook, and Howsapp. But despite having those achievement, my grandmother wants me to inherit hers, I don't want to compete with my brother. Land Corp. isn't my thing. I did my business for fun and distraction, fortunately it expand. I'm lucky enough that those my hard work because a hit.

But then they forced me to get married to a daughter from other successful company. Although she's good, and beautiful I don't want her. She's too obsessed with me. I didn't accept the proposal yet but she already spread that we spent the night together and was expecting a child.

"The heck.."

I didn't even saw here face to face but what the hell just happened. I tried to escape everything, go to other countries, but she always follows me wherever I go like a sasaeng 사생 (overly obsessed fan ).

I did some research and found out that only enlisting in ROKA can help me get rid of her even just for a mean time.

*ROKA- Republic of Korea Army

I got enlisted and applied for 2 years service. I guess it's fine since my company Is doing great. I can still manage them and contact my teams thru socmed.

After a year, I became a captain and began to loved serving the country so why not try this path and forget those behind. I find peace here though.

Two years past and my service almost got ended, I don't want to go back marrying that creepy girl. Fortunately, our squad leaders are listing those who will go overseas to aid. I immediately volunteered and extend my service.

I was assigned to Philippines. It's a better option to keep low profile their. Together with my team, we flew and help other volunteers to give food packs to orphans.

Then suddenly there's an outbreak. From those filthy rats, if you got infected, you will became Bitters. We call them that since they look like they are hungry and eat everything that's alive.

We conducted test to every company especially in the City. To offices and we send the non infected to evacuation, while the others that has infection put in quarantine.
