On-Jo was just as shocked as her father to see one another again. It had been something she had wanted for a long time and had been looking forwards to it but seeing him there made her losen up. Rushing over as she hugged him immediately. "Dad." She spoke as she was emotional.

"On-Jo." He spoke as he immediately hugged her back. "Come on. We don't have much time." He added as he pulled away from their hug. Happy to see that she was still alive.

On-Jo nodded as she ran out of the auditorium. Glancing back at the others. "Come on." She spoke up.

The one's still inside took a moment before making their way out of the building with a bit more hope that they would be saved thanks to the two adults who came to get their kids.

"Dad. Let's go." On-Jo spoke up.

"Go ahead. We'll be right behind you guys. Head up the hill." So-Ju spoke up.

Cheong-San made sure that they had all gotten out before glancing at So-Ju. "How are things out there?" He asked as they ran behind the group.

"Just as horrible as it is here." So-Ju replied as he ran away from the zombies and running the way he had arrived from. "The streets are covered."

Sung-Hoon slowed down a bit when he noticed how behind his sister was. Running at his sister's pace. "Come on." He spoke.

Min-Jung wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand before nodding. Trying to keep up with the group. "I'm trying." She spoke as she struggled a bit to keep up. Glancing behind them to see the zombies following them.

Sung-Hoon noticed. "Don't even think about it."

"I can't be slowing them down this much. They need to make it."

"I'll save you guys some time." He spoke as he stopped running. "Follow them to safety." He added. Turning back around as he gripped a weapon Joon-Yeong had given him. Running past So-Ju and his mother.

"Where is he going?!" So-Ju asked as he panicked.

"Sung-Hoon!" His mother called out to him.

"Don't worry. He'll he fine!" Min-Jung spoke up. Running as best as she could. Trusting her brother with his mutation. Taking a break as she huffed. "Sorry. I can't keep going. I-." Min-Jung informed them as she stopped running. Her leg's wound wasn't closing with how much moving around she was doing. "I am only slowing you guys down."

"Nonsense. Come on. I'll help you." Su-Hyeok spoke as he noticed her stop. Thinking about what to do before kneeling with his back facing her. "Get on." He spoke.

Min-Jung listened as she gave a small nod. Placing her hands on his shoulders before getting on his back. Wincing when her wound stretched a bit.

Su-Hyeok secured his hold on her before standing back up. "Hold on tight." He glanced behind him before running once more. Picking up the pace to catch up with the others.

Sung-Hoon took out as many of the zombies as he could. Killing a few but more followed after from the noise that caught their attention. Taking down a few more before running off and catching up with the group. Glancing ahead and keeping a quick pace.

So-Ju quietly noticed that they had reached the tennis courts he had passed before. Closing the gate door behind him once everyone was in. Hugging his daughter and Cheong-San. "Go through this courts and past the construction site to reach the mountain."

The zombies reaching the tennis courts. Only being held back by the gates around as the students noticed they were surrounded. Having no way of escape. Having the zombies stumble onto one another to try and get in. Breaking the entrance down as they rushed into the courts.

It was chaos as the students ran towards the other door to get out of the courts. Fighting back and taking a few zombies down, if they could, away from them.

So-Ju noticed the zombies going after the students. Fighting zombies on his end. Gripping the flare gun he had as he was about to shoot.

"Don't." Sung-Hoon spoke up as he took the zombies down around him with ease immediately and running off to deal with the rest. "Come on. Go." Shoving him out the other door with the others.

Mi-Cha noticed as she turned back to face him. "Sung-Hoon!" She spoke up.

"Mom.. do you trust me?" He asked.

"What are you saying? Come on. Get out of there before more of them come. You've gotten everyone else out."

"I can keep these zombies back. I'll catch up again. I'm a fast runner."

Mi-Cha hesitated before seeing the zombies start to go around as she nodded. "Get back to us safe and sound. Got it?" She had to take the teens away. Making sure that they could keep up with the others. Spotting the construction side that So-Ju had mentioned earlier before getting the students inside.

Nam-Ra stopped them as she could feel and hear the other zombies. "Follow me." She spoke. Running upstairs to avoid the zombies she knew were close by. Dodging the undead workers just in time as they reached a window.

One by one they climbed out of the window before moving to the side to avoid being caught through the window. No one noticing Sung-Hoon joining them again.

"No one make a sound." Sung-Hoon spoke quietly.

On-Jo was the first to be startled as she huffed before placing a small hand over her heart. "Seriously? Next time say at least something before you do that."

"Shh. We'll get caught." Gyeong-Su mumbled

Cheong-San noticed before crouching down besides her as he laughed. Placing his arms around her in an attept to comfort her. "It's okay to cry." He teased her quietly.

Min-Jung hit his shoulder lightly to silence him as he did become quiet. The silence filling them as the zombies ran past the window they had used to hide.

Dae-Su listened to the silence before he broke the silence once the zombies left.

Joon-Yeong glanced out into a distance. He couldn't believe that they had made it out alive from the roof. "What do we do now?" He asked.

"Better question is.. where do we go now?" Woo-Jin asked.

"We get to the safe zone. They should have one if it hasn't been overrun by zombies." Min-Jung replied.

Ha-Ri listened before getting up. "I'll go check if there's a way off this thing for us to get moving." She added.

On-Jo listened before watching her leave and be followed by Mi-Jin. Glancing at her knees before speaking. "I don't want anyone to sacrifice themselves after this point. We've all survived this long and we can all make it." She spoke. "It's hard enough living for someone who doesn't live anymore."

Cheong-San listened to her as he felt an understanding between them. "Hey, let's worry about getting to safety. Then we'll talk." He spoke.

It was a promise between them. A promise to stay alive and making it out in one piece to be able to talk without worry. Saving themselves from the nightmare they had endured for the past few days. Tired of running for their lives in an ongoing nightmare.

On-Jo turned and leaned her head on her father's shoulder lightly before glancing at Min-Jung. "I also mean you." She quietly added. "We're not leaving you behind."

"I know." Min-Jung replied quietly. "But if my wound gets worse I can't help any of you in that state and you'll be forced to choose."

"We have enough people to carry you. We couldn't save that guy back there last night but we can try to save at least you." On-Jo reached out as she held her hand gently.
