everyone had fell asleep but you and jisu. you sat next to hyunsu on the floor, while jisu was keeping watch of the door in case of monsters, and you just couldn't fall asleep. even if you wanted to keep watch, hyunsu wouldn't let you. jisu walked over to hyunsu, tapping him awake with her bat. "hey, it's your turn." she said. "what?" hyunsu replied. "it's your turn to stand watch." jisu moved out of the way, as hyunsu grabbed his spear. once he stood up, she sat down, a little bit away from you. jisu looked tired, but who wouldn't be?
hyunsu moved to stand near the door, and spoke once he did. "i'm infected." he faced the door. "i know." she replied back. "if i turn, kill me." hyunsu stated. "don't say things like that, hyunsu." you mumbled. "you're awake?" hyunsu looked at you. "yeah."
"go to sleep.." he turned back to face the door. it was quiet for a moment, before jisu commented again. "sorry." it was a quiet apology, but what for? once again, hyunsu turned around slowly, only looking at jisu this time. "what?" he uttered. "if i turn.." jisu paused. kill me and ill do the same for you." she finished, looking at him.
"okay?" she asked. hyunsu looked away again, mumbling a quiet "okay."
— (i don't know the old man's name. forgive me okay.. it doesn't help that there's two in the show too😭😭 also im not a koreaboo, im just writing what the characters do and say. thank you)
when it was morning, someone was talking on the intercom."survivors in the building, take any food, medicine, and weapons you have and come to the first floor. the first floor is quite safe for now, and it'll be safer to stay together." you recognized the voice, but don't remember where you've heard it from.
"we survivors... must stick together." the voice stopped for a brief moment, only a few seconds. "please come down. please." the voice was seemingly desperate, you wondered if they were hoping a specific person would hear this message. "i repeat—" after this, the voice cut out.
"you can't trust that announcement. will you really be okay?" the old man winced. jisu and jaeheon were going to go to the first floor. you also wanted to go, but also wanted to stay with hyunsu. "we can't keep sponging off you. we should do something." jisu offered a small smile. "thank you for the meals and this. may god bless you." jaeheon said. he was holding a.. it looked like a small door. you slightly tilted your head, wondering why that was even in here to begin with.
the old man stared at jaeheon, hands in his lap while he sat in his wheelchair. "i'm buddhist." once he said that, jaeheon went quiet. "if the first floor is safe, we'll come back to you." jisu broke the silence. "don't make a promise you can't keep." the old man looked to the side. "i feel like.. i should say farewell now." he waved at jisu and jaeheon.
