"I think we should all calm down." Su-Hyeok spoke as he held her closer to him. "There's no one at fault here other than him. We just need to focus and figure a plan out a way to get off the roof and we can all make it. No one is being left behind." He added as he glanced down at her. "Not even you so don't say that."

On-Jo quietly watched the two as she knew there was something more to the two of them. Something that he never had with her. She was envious that she got him but she learned to set aside her own feelings and knew when to not bring it up. There was no reason for her to not try and be an acquaintance to the teen.

Min-Jung glanced up at the male as she wanted to protest. She knew if they had a way out they should take it. It was what they had been fighting for the past few days after all.

Pressing his hand on her mouth, Su-Hyeok shook his head to knock down any protest that would come out of her. "You're alive and part of the group. We'll figure something out." He spoke as he glanced at her. "I'm not leaving without you. I'll stay here if I have to."

"He's right." Cheong-San spoke as he sat across from the two. "Like you've said we've already lost too many of us. We can't lose anyone else. I'll stay here too if you disagree."

Min-Jung quietly gave up on her protests as she nodded lightly before she moved his hand off and shifted a bit. Closing her eyes when she felt the shooting pain up her leg.

"What's wrong?" Su-Hyeok asked worriedly.

"Nothing.. Nothing. Sorry. I moved my leg a little too fast. Fresh wounds are the worst cases in situations like this." She huffed. Leaning her head on his shoulder.

His arm immediately going around her as he held her close to him. Rubbing her arm gently. "Don't move around so much. If you need anything then you tell me. I'll get it for you." He spoke.

"You don't have to. I'll be fine." She spoke as she glanced at him. Having a small smile on her face as she pecked his cheek. "Thank you." She added lightly.

Su-Hyeok listened as he was taken by surprise when his cheek was pecked by her. A grin taking over his features as he stayed with her. "You're with me. I would do anything for you." He teased as he liked the small chuckle that left her.

Enjoying the bondfire that was there between them and the others. It was a relaxing moment. A moment of just peace when they didn't have to worry about having to go to one person or worrying about where they had to go next yet. Simply taking in the warmth and getting to bond with one another.

It was something new for some of them. Getting to spend time like that and being able to just enjoy a moment like that again without worrying about too much.

Nam-Ra had never had friends like that and she had never been able to just have a campfire with family. It was something she had become greatful for and if she had the chance then she would enjoy another one with them again.

Min-Jung quietly listened to the crackling of the fire as she watched it. The sky becoming darker as the day came to an end and became night sooner than they expected. Getting herself up as she excused herself before limping towards the other side of the roof as she needed some air.

Su-Hyeok noticed as he got up before following after her and hugging her from behind. "Are you okay?" He asked lightly.

"I don't think I can fully be feeling okay. Not like before at least." Min-Jung spoke honestly as she faced him a bit.

Su-Hyeok listened as he rubbed her arm gently. "Is there anything that I can do to make you feel better?" He asked.

Min-Jung quietly shook her head a bit. "I don't think so right now. I just need some time to gather my thoughts and my breath." She spoke.

His eyes scanned her at the moment as he nodded. Placing a small kiss on her forehead. Removing his arms from her. "I can wait with the others then. See you in a bit."

"See you in a bit." Min-Jung smiled to give him reassurance as she watched him leave. Giving him a small wave before turning back to face the trees and the view from her spot. She wanted to go home and be with her family again. Something that she knew most of them wanted but knew that it was impossible if the infection spread outside of the school.

Letting out a small sigh as she lowered her head before calming down as she was tired of running and having to fight for her life. It wasn't something anyone should have to go through. Placing a hand over her stomach a bit. Wondering if she was expecting as well. It was only an assumption at the moment since she hadn't done a test yet but she had been late for a while and knew that was a bit odd. Being more careful with things due to that.

Quietly reaching behind her. Removing her  bow and undoing the half up ponytail before braiding all her hair back and tying her bow to the end as she calmed down.

On-Jo watched her staying away from the group as she got up to walk over to her. Feeling her arm being grabbed as she glanced over to see Su-Hyeok.

"What are you doing?" Su-Hyeok asked.

"I was just going to talk to her. Nothing much." She spoke quietly.

"I think you should leave her alone." He spoke.

On-Jo listened as she glanced at him before removing her arm from his hold. "Sometimes people just want to talk or have someone beside them to listen. No talking necessary." She spoke as she broke free from his grasp and walked to her. Pressing her back against the wall beside her.

Min-Jung quietly listened as she glanced at her before glancing back ahead. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Just checking in.." On-Jo spoke quietly.

"Why's that?" Min-Jung asked. "I thought you hated me for liking Su-Hyeok."

"I don't like it but people can change how they feel about someone. We can learn to set aside our differences. Like before." On-Jo spoke.

"Before.. A lot of people wish things were like before right about now.." She let out as a small sigh.

"Well.." On-Jo spoke.

"I didn't think you would fall for him." Min-Jung spoke before glancing at her. "I have known him since we were kids." She added.

"I just didn't want people to know. I spoke to I-Sak about it." On-Jo spoke. "I was always nervous of having someone else know but he likes you. I just think that.. he seems happy. I want him to be happy with whoever he chooses." She added.

Min-Jung listened before turning a bit to face her. Sitting down besides her at the moment as she glanced at her hands. "Sorry about I-Sak.." She quietly spoke.

"Sorry about a lot of things.." On-Jo spoke. Holding her hand out a bit to her.

Min-Jung quietly glanced at her hand before reaching over as she shook her hand and feeling a bit better to fix a friendship between them. Letting go after a while and shared a glance her way. "Let's make it out of here soon." She spoke.

On-Jo listened before nodding. "Let's make it out of here." She spoke back as she knew that it was a start to go in the right direction. Sitting beside her before noticing a shadow above them. Her head moved slightly when she glanced up and felt fear at who it was. Reaching over and grabbing the female's arm immediately to help her up.
