Sung-Hoon walked closer as his hand reached out to his sister. Noticing Mi-Jin aim her weapon on him.

"I won't ask again." She spoke as she held her ground. Ready to kill him if he took another step towards him.

Joon-Yeong didn't agree with her before walking forward and standing in front of him. "Leave him alone."

Min-Jung glanced over at their friend. "Joon-Yeong." She spoke. Walking over as she joined him in standing before her brother.

"Why are you guys defending him? He's turning. He probably got bit last night."

Sung-Hoon raised his arm. Showing her his bite mark. "Last night?"

Mi-Jin noticed the mark was not fresh. The skin looked normal at first glance as his palm was just slightly red where the teethmarks were.

"I was bitten a while ago and didn't become one of them. I'm guessing a mutation happened. They don't attack me anymore if I walk among them as I've taken note of last night."

"Who else got bitten?" Ha-Ri asked.

"Me." Nam-Ra spoke up as she walkes forward and stood with her boyfriend. "I also haven't turned. The chances of this happening are slim. I've noticed everyone else turn minutes after being bit."

"Wait." Gyeong-Su spoke as he glanced at the group. Noticing everyone turn to face him. "If Sung-Hoon was able to become a hambie-."

"Hambie?" Mi-Jin asked.

"Half human, half zombie." Dae-Su clarified.

"So weird.." She mumbled.

"Anyways.." Gyeong-Su continued as he cleared his throat. "If Sung-Hoon was able to become a hambie.. doesn't that mean that Min-Jung can also have that possibility?"

"What?" Min-Jung asked. She had never thought about it that way before.

"You're twins. If he had the mutation it could be possible that Gyeong-Su has a point." Joon-Yeong chimed in. "It means you have a rare opportunity to become like them if bitten."

"But what if you're wrong?" Su-Hyeok asked.

"If they weren't twins then it would be a completely different thing." Joon-Yeong explained.

"I don't want her to ever become like me." Sung-Hoon spoke up.

Min-Jung turned to him. Feeling his hands on his shoulders. "Sung-Hoon.."

"I'm serious. I.. becoming this new me can be useful but I couldn't even control my urges and you saw me become a mons-."

"You're not a monster!" Min-Jung raised her voice. "You're my big brother. The one who always protects me even though I can defend myself at times and the one who used to play with me even though he hated what I would choose. You're still my brother."

Sung-Hoon teared up as he listened to her. "What if I hurt you?"

"I would forgive you."

"That doesn't make things any better."

"Well I'm serious. I want you to know I'm being real here."

"You're so stubborn." He mumbled.

"So are you." She pointed out to him.

"As much as I like a good sibling bonding moment we need to figure out how to open that door." Woo-Jin spoke up.

"Right." Min-Jung spoke as she walked over. Trying to open it as it didn't budge. "Is there like a key?" She asked.

"None that I see." Joon-Yeong spoke as he glanced around.

Sung-Hoon walked over and tried the handle. Pulling on it quietly. "Sounds like it's chained."

"Chained?" On-Jo asked. "What do we do now?" She asked.

"Try something that can break it?" Dae-Su asked.

"Like what?" Cheong-San asked.

"How about we kick it like in the movies?" Su-Hyeok suggested.

"We don't have enough strength though." Gyeong-Su mumbled.

"I do." Sung-Hoon spoke as he kicked it right away. Feeling the door shake before trying to do it again.

"The zombies will be attracted to the sound." Mi-Jin spoke up. We'd have to find another way."

"Ah, right." Joon-Yeong sighed.

Mi-Jin turned to Min-Jung. "You. You said you were the one who helped plan, didn't you? Make a plan and get us out of here."

"I will if you say please."

"Please help us get a way out of here." Mi-Jin mumbled.

"I was joking. I already had something in mind."

"Then why make me say please if you already had planned something?" Mi-Jin asked annoyed.

"I was just teasing." Min-Jung smiled before leaning against the wall next to the doors. "The front door has most of the zombies since that's the path leading to the school. We would be swarmed if we went that way."

"Obviously." Mi-Jin mumbled.

"Mhm. There would be too many of them for Sung-Hoon and Nam-Ra to face too. Especially since they haven't ate like Gwi-Nam did. I don't want to risk it."

"What are we left with?" Joon-Yeong asked.

"Nam-Ra make noise at the main doors for a bit. If we can mask the sound we make then we can get Sung-Hoon to kick the door down since he has a bit more energy in him." She pointed out before moving away from the wall.

"What if that doesn't work?" Ha-Ri asked. "What then?"

"They follow sounds. It will work." Min-Jung replied.

"I agree." Joon-Yeong chimed in. "We have to make it really loud though."

"I can do that." Nam-Ra quietly listened as she agreed to do the plan.

"I'll use all the force that I can muster up." Sung-Hoon made up his mind as he agreed with them.

None of them knowing about how there were people outside of the building already. Making their way to the door once they noticed that someone was inside.

One of the people there was none other than Nam So-Ju, the father of Nam On-Jo. He had been looking for her for as long as he could. Escaping the safety of a base where other survivor were. He had survived being shot just to keep doing his search for her.

He composed himself as he ran to the back of the building. Being unaware himself that someone else had already beaten him to it. Reaching the door when he noticed a woman breaking the lock to open the doors. "Who are you?" He asked. Noticing how familiar she looked to him but couldn't pin it.

"I'm looking for my daughter. Nam On-Jo. She goes here. I want to take her to safety" The man spoke. "I'm her father." So-Ju continued. Raising his hand to show he has a tool to help remove the lock. Cutting the chain as quickly and efficiently as he could. Removing the locks on the door before the doors burst open. Glancing into the gymnasium as he was shocked to see who stood before him. The person on the other side glancing back at him in shock to see him still alive and well.

The woman hadn't said a word to the man but the moment the doors opened she held her breath. Anxious to know who was there or if they were human at all. Her eyes gazing into a pair of familiar hazel eyes.

"Mom?" Sung-Hoon asked in shock. He hadn't thought he'd be able to see her again.

The woman glanced at him as she was left in shock to see him covered in blood. "Sung-Hoon..?"

"Mom.." Min-Jung spoke as she let out a small sigh of mixed emotions to see her there alone before it changed to one of panic. "Why did you come here? Where is dad?" She asked as Hyo-Ryung and Nam-Ra helped her walkout of the building. Keeping her up gently.

"I came to get you both. I'm not going to the safe zone until you are both safe with me. Come on. We don't have much time. It's better that I found more of you. We have a chance to get you all in." Mi-Cha spoke as she got the teens out of the building with So-Ju.
