"Sis?" Woo-Jin asked after a bit of silence between both groups.

The sound of her brother's voice filled her with a bit of shock and relief. "Woo-Jin?" Ha-Ri asked as she walked over quickly before pulling her brother into a hug in their small reunion. "You're okay." Ha-Ri spoke up. She had been looking for him since the day she had returned back to the school the day everyone became infected.

Woo-Jin nodded as he was more than happy to see her again. Thankful that they could see one another again and neither had been bitten. "I'm fine." He mumbled before he pulled away. Cutting the reunion short. "We need to get going." He spoke.

Min-Jung listened as she nodded. "The others are.. are up ahead. We'll be left behind if we keep chatting here. There could also be more zombies coming this way." She spoke as she glanced at them. Turning away as she limped back up the hill.

Woo-Jin agreed. Motioning to his sister and her group to follow them quickly. Walking over to Min-Jung as he placed one of her arms over his shoulder to help her and the other around her waist. Hyo-Ryung taking the other side to help him help her as her way of thanking her.

"Thanks." Min-Jung spoke as she was a bit faster with their help.

"You stayed back to help me when you could've walked ahead. It's the least that I can do." Hyo-Ryung replied to her as gave a small smile.

"No man left behind. I wasn't going to leave when you needed help." Woo-Jin chimed in. "We make it out. Together."

Ha-Ri made sure to follow after the three of them at the moment. Making sure her group kept up. Especially since they had to wheel Jun-Seong along after he had been injured and couldn't walk.

Nam-Ra rushed into the first place that she could with the group. Realizing they were all there before letting out a small breath. "Zombies." She spoke up.

"What?" Ha-Ri asked as she listened. Her question being answered when lighting struck down and filled the auditorium like room. Showing the zombies in the room as she panicked just as the zombies turned to them.

The group couldn't leave now that they were noticed. Running to the closest door leading to the storage room as Mi-Jin tried to help roll Jun-Seong into the storage room.

"Mi-Jin. Go." Jun-Seong spoke up as he was crying a bit. "Go." He continued.

"I'm not going to leave you." Mi-Jin spoke as she tried again before watching him roll himself off the stretched they had made specially for him.

Jun-Seong had made the choice and his choice had been to sacrifice himself to save them time. "Go!" He yelled. He had known he wouldn't have made it far and he was scared in that moment but he felt Mi-Jin had been a good friend to him during that whole time they had spent together.

Ha-Ri and Su-Hyeok pulled the female into the room as they shut the door behind them once she was in. Feeling bad to have lost someone again. Sitting in silence.

Min-Jung was lowered lightly in the corner as she winced a bit. Shifting a bit before glancing at her leg. She knew it had probably opened again from the kick she had done. The pain was unbearable but she knew she had to endure it. Holding her friend's hand a bit.

Su-Hyeok glanced around the room. Seeing Ji-Min was missing as he walked past the others to go sit next to Min-Jung. Reaching over and holding her free hand a bit. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"I think so." Min-Jung spoke. Keeping her head leaned back before glancing his way. "It just hurts a lot again and I'm tired." She mumbled.

"I know." Su-Hyeok spoke. Glancing at her. "Just rest. I will be here the whole time. Close your eyes." He quietly spoke. Placing a small peck on her forehead.

"I can't." Min-Jung shook her head as she glanced around. "Where's Sung-Hoon? Where's my brother? I want him here before I sleep."

"He's not here." Joon-Yeong quietly spoke.

"I have to go... look for him.."

"Are you crazy?!" Mi-Jin questioned.

"No but he's my family. I can't leave him behind.."

"Min-Jung. He's fine." Nam-Ra spoke up. "He was just going to deal with the zombies. He should be back soon."

Min-Jung trusted Nam-Ra as she nodded before calming down. Relaxing in her boyfriend's arms and getting comfortable.

Su-Hyeok lightly placed an arm around Min-Jung's neck. Letting her rest her head on his shoulder. Quietly rubbing her arm as he knew how tired they must all be. They had barely survived another day. Having lost two more people along the way.

His head resting above her head as he closed his eyes. Listening to the storm outside before letting his mind shut down. The tiredness in his body settling in as he managed to doze off in a short amount of time.

It was hard to find the peace of getting sleep but with being exhausted it was just easier. Being fast asleep in no time. It wasn't like they had anywhere else to go. They would need all the rest they could get if they wanted to escape in the morning. Being trapped in the storage room wasn't ideal.

Cheong-San was reluctant to fall asleep after seeing his mother. Battling to stay awake only to end up losing. His eyes growing heavy as he gave into sleep and stayed with On-Jo. His head leaning back. Wishing that he'd wake up and things would go back to being normal again. Just like a few days ago where he was still in bed and his mother was making breakfast.

The next morning soon came as the small window in the room allowed for some light to shine down on the remaining survivors. Waking a few of them up.

Min-Jung quietly woke up. Stretching a bit as she wished to wake up in her bed again. Glancing around as she noticed the others already waking up as well. Her gaze lowering to her leg as she noticed the dry blood. Hoping the wound had some rest. Not wanting to slow the group down after they had traveled so far to make an escape.

The silence in the room was loud. Having the previous night being the last night to have seen some of their friends. Letting it sink in that it was up to them now. They had to save themselves and had to grow up faster than they had expected. They couldn't trust the people who were meant to save them anymore.

Min-Jung wouldn't be so kind to the people who left them to die for no explanation. Letting out a small yawn as she tried to get up on her own. They had to make a plan sooner rather than later.

Hell had unleashed upon them and hell was unpredictable. Even if they wanted to live. They had no clue to which one of them would be next in line to be bit or who would make it out. It was like a game of zombie roulette for their survival.

It was going to be a long day for all of them after all. Glancing at her bow that rested beside her before glancing at her wounded leg. Looking around the room as she found something better. Removing the green sweater and lifting her skirt slightly.

"What happened to you?" Mi-Jin asked as she watched her deal with her wound.

"A psychopath stabbed me with an arrow because I stabbed him with one first."

"What did he do that made you so mad?"

"Hurt my best friend. I take matters like that very seriously." Min-Jung replied once she was done patching herself up.
