I woke up, rubbing my eyes. Everyone except Chan and Changbin were already awake.

"Morning, young ones," I said, sitting beside the group.

"Morning, pookie," Hae Won smiled, side-hugging me briefly before heading to the kitchen for food.

I felt my cheeks heat up and quickly excused myself. "I'll be right back," I said, heading to the bathroom. Cute. So cute. So cuteeee.

When I returned, the boys were fussing over a drawing.

"Cool drawing. Who's the artist among us?" I asked, sitting beside Hyunjin.

"M-me..." he whispered.

"Wow. Didn't know ferrets could draw, let alone create a masterpiece like this," I joked.

He rolled his eyes, huffed, then joined Hae Won in the kitchen.

"Morning, sleepyheads," I said, handing out food to everyone as they gathered around the table.

Hyunjin walked in, still blushing from Lee Know's compliment. I handed him a plate and smiled. "Eat up, Hyunjin. You need your strength for patrol."

He nodded, taking the plate. "Thanks, Hae Won."

I watched as everyone settled down for breakfast. The atmosphere was relaxed, a rare moment of calm in our chaotic lives. "So, what's the plan for today?" I asked, looking at Chan as he finally joined us.

Chan rubbed his eyes and stretched. "We'll do our usual patrols and look for more supplies. Same groups as last time, but Lee Know will join Felix and Bin."

Felix shot a wary glance at Lee Know but didn't say anything. I noticed and gave him a reassuring pat on the back. "We'll be fine, Felix. Just stick together."

Felix didn't talk once. Not once. I think he hates me. Well, shooting his friend was not the best way to earn his trust, I know. But can he give me a chance? I'll try better. I promise. I will take special care of the maknaes and everyone else. I can help with scavenging. I can defend the group an-

I felt my eyes tearing up. Just one chance, I swear I won't mess it up. Please, just one, please, please.

Silent tears rolled down my face. I need to be strong. No tears.

"Hey, we should go east. I can see from here north is full of zombies," Felix said, breaking my internal silence.

I quickly wiped my tears and looked down to hide my puffy red eyes. "Yeah, yeah, let's go," I replied quickly and started walking in the indicated direction.

We walked silently, avoiding places crowded with zombies. 

I stoped abruptly, confusing the small girl beside me. 

"What is it, Innie?" she asked, concerned.

"This house. It looks like it was abandoned before the apocalypse. I have a feeling about it..."

Hae Won and I exchanged looks. "Should we go in?" she asked, frowning slightly.

"Uh, yeah, we should. There could be a survivor there," I nodded, not really sure though.
