Min-Jung finished packing her bag properly in case they had to flee the room. Having made small talk with Su-Hyeok until she felt someone sit beside her. Glancing next to her to see Nam-Ra as she smiled a bit. "Are you doing okay? Na-Yeon isn't bothering you too much, is she?" She asked.

"I'm fine. I have you and your brother to keep her away." Nam-Ra quietly spoke as she glanced back at her. "You? You were shaking when I found you."

"I'm okay.. I just.. had to shoot someone before knowing what was going on." Min-Jung spoke at the moment before glancing away. "At first- I know I had killed someone. I know I did. I saw their bite too late but they were still human when they were in front of me."

Nam-Ra listened. "You did what you had to to get away from there. It was and still is a mess out there."

"She's right." Su-Hyeok chimed in as he lifted his head from the table a bit.

Min-Jung listened to the two. "You always know what to say." She teased.

Nam-Ra smiled a bit as she stayed seated next to her. Patting her hand a bit. "I'm sure we'll find a way out if things aren't as serious outside of school." She spoke but she wasn't sure herself.

Min-Jung felt like things weren't as great and gave a small nod at the moment. Keeping her hopes up for now since there wasn't much information known about the situation at hand. Letting out a small breath and laying her head on her shoulder for now.

Sung-Hoon watched the two from his spot at the moment as he crossed his arms and leaned against the lockers. He didn't want anyone else to get hurt by being bitten or eaten alive. Especially when it came down to the two people he cared most about, when it came down to his sister and the girl he liked.

Su-Hyeok noticed. "I'll be right back Minnie." He spoke before he walked over and placed a hand on Sung-Hoon's shoulder lightly. Leaning back against the lockers as well. "Are you doing alright?" He asked lightly at the moment. "You keep staring their way." He teased.

Sung-Hoon listened before glancing at him. "I'm fine and I was not staring. It does feel like I'm in a bad dream but other than that more awake than ever. In case anything else happens or anything tries to break into the room." He spoke. "I do have a favor to ask of you."

"What is it?"

"Take care of them for me if it comes down to me being bitten. We don't know what to expect but I can't leave them alone. There's a promise I made to myself that I'd keep them out of harm's way for as long as I am breathing."

"You have my word that nothing bad will happen. Not with me around." Su-Hyeok reassured him as he was serious about it as well. "But don't say that again. I'm not going to let anything happen to you either."

Sung-Hoon listened before being satisfied with that answer and nodding. "Glad to know you understand." He spoke. Extending his hand out and shaking it. "I will hurt you for any scratch they get."

Su-Hyeok gave a small awkward smile as he grabbed his hand and shook it. Gazing over at his girlfriend for help from her brother.

Min-Jung watched the whole thing as she quietly giggled to herself and playfully shook her finger as a no to tease him and went back to her conversation with Nam-Ra.

The classroom was filled with silence once more as the halls were still empty since the scream that led the zombies away had kept them away from the classroom for some time.

Min-Jung focused on her phone for any updates but having none from her mother as she sent her an update at the moment before putting her phone in her bag and zipping it closed so she wouldn't lose it.

Feeling drained already from all the running they had done to even make it back into the classroom and away from all the madness they had to endure from now on. Laying her head down exhausted.

The silence didn't last long until the door opened up and in rushed one of the familiar faces the students knew as the man shut the doors again in a rush. A look of despair on his face as he took a moment before glancing around the room of startled students.

"Mr. Kang!"

"Are you guys okay?" Mr. Kang asked.

Gyeong-Su nodded to his question and got a sigh of relief in return. A bit glad to see someone other than a zombie. "What about you? You weren't bit, right?" He asked.

Mr. Kang shook his head at the moment. "No. No. I'm fine. We should barricade the door." He suggested as he motioned for them to help him out and keep the door blocked.

"You called the police, right? We can leave soon?" Na-Yeon asked.

Mr. Kang nodded at the moment. "Of course." He spoke to reassure her before having them help barricade the doors with the desks.

Min-Jung felt a bit off and quietly stayed back while they did as he told them to do. Putting her school bag on and gripping her bow afterwards. "Guys." She spoke up.

I-Sak seemed to notice what she was looking at before stopping herself from helping as she moved away and grabbed On-Jo. Moving her best friend back with her.

On-Jo was confused as she glanced at her. "I-Sak?"

"What do we do now?" I-Sak asked as she was only confusing On-Jo more. "Look." She motioned to his arm.

On-Jo glanced over at his arm. "Mr. Kang.. your arm." She spoke quietly to him.

"Hurry up and block the door. Don't just stand there." He urged.

"You were bitten on the arm." On-Jo spoke out loud as she alarmed the rest who hadn't noticed Min-Jung's warning.

The others questioned his honesty and how he could hide a bite from them amongst themselves before glancing at the arm he was bit on.

Mr. Kang could hear them as he shook his head. "N-no. No I wasn't bit." He denied.

"That's a bite mark." On-Jo spoke as she glanced at him. Watching him deny it again and how he lowered his sleeve to hide the mark but it was all too late as they knew by now what would happen to him and them if they let him stay with them.

"Were you really not bit?" I-Sak asked.

"I said i wasn't!"

"Then why are you hiding it?! Show it to us." I-Sak spoke up.

Mr. Kang stayed silent at the accusations as he knew he was doomed already. Scoffing at her attitude towards him.

"Can you leave?" I-Sak questioned.

"What?" He asked in disbelief.

"Get out."

"You want me to go back out there?" He asked. "After everything I did to get here? You want me to go back out?"

"You were bit. Get out."

"You fucking bitch! How dare you yell at a teacher? You little.." Mr. Kang spoke up. Inching towards her in anger.

Min-Jung had already raised her bow as she aimed. Only missing her shot on purpose since she did feel a bit bad for him while he was also still alive and not taken over by the disease. He had also helped her from Byeong-Chan. "Don't try that again." She calmly warned. " You make any move or slightly twitch and the next arrow will not miss."

"Are you threatening your teacher?" Mr. Kang asked.

"Yes."

"Why you little-." Mr. Kang spoke as he tried to take another step only for her to shoot his foot. Groaning in pain as he hissed. "Fuck you!"

"You're threatening the lives of your students by staying here so step away from her." Min-Jug continued. Walking over and moving I-Sak behind her. Grabbing her first missed arrow and putting it away before kneeling to his level as she removed the arrow from his foot to reuse it on him since it already had his infected blood.
