Sacrificing oneself

7

                        The best things in the world cannot be seen or touched.
                        They can only be felt.

Hearing Mai's loud voice, Jungeun stood up and rushed towards the door. Finding herself next to the Japanese girl, she saw a group of five people running towards them, fighting off monsters along the way. Among them, Jungeun noticed the girl for whom she was ready to turn the entire school upside down, just to hear and see her again.

-Jiyoon - Choi said in a half-whisper, running to meet the love of her life.
- Jungeun! Stop!
Not listening to Mai's screams behind her, she ran to meet Jiyoon as if her life depended on it. Already a couple of meters from reuniting with her friend, Choi saw a zombie with a half-eaten torso crawling out of the turn. Jiyoon, who saw Jungeun running towards her, lost her vigilance and, feeling rough hands on her leg, was unable to stop herself from falling.
The undead grabbed the girl by the leg and knocked her to the floor, tried to bite off her leg, but was kicked aside.
- Bastard, get your filthy hands off her!
Choi, who managed to reach Yoon in time, with all her accumulated anger, kicked the monster's disfigured face.
Quickly getting to her feet, Yun saw a horde of bloodthirsty zombies ahead, rushing towards them with inhuman speed. Lightning fast, grabbing the younger one by the hand, Jiyoon, without a word, rushed towards the others, who had already reached the door and were standing waiting for the two of them.
- Faster! - shouted Koko
Once inside the radio studio, Mai and Koko, at a fast pace, managed to lock the door, exactly at the moment when the monsters tried to break in to them. As soon as the door was locked, Yeonjun and Taehyung moved an iron cabinet towards it in order to doubly protect themselves.
The two girls, who were the last to run into the office, silently, in disbelief, stared at each other. As if the brain did not fully understand that finally, their long-awaited meeting took place. As if on command, both girls rushed into a tight embrace. Hugging each other as if tomorrow might not come for them. Holding each other tightly but at the same time gently, the two souls merged into one. Jiyoon, not believing what was happening, moved away a little and began to leave quick kisses on the younger one's head. And again, tightly pulling Jungeun to herself, she whispered:
- Jungeun-ah, I missed you
With a beating heart, Choi answered:
- Unnie, I thought ... - sniffling from the tears that were flowing, she continued
- I thought that I would not see you again
Choi Jungeun, always considered herself a fearless person, the only thing she was afraid of was losing her parents, but at the moment, hugging the eldest, she realized that today, a new fear was added to her piggy bank. Fear of losing Jiyoon.
- Baby!
Moving away from the embrace with the girl, Jeun watched as if in slow motion as Yeonjun pulled Jiyoon to himself and bit her lips. As if experiencing deja vu, she turned her eyes away from this painfully stinging scene. And again, Choi Jeun became the third wheel in the love story of Jiyoon and Yeonjun.
-Are you okay?
Jeemin, who appeared next to her, turned to her.
-No- Jungeun honestly admitted to her.
-Let's go, you need to rest - Bang said, pulling Choi by the hand to a chair that stood against the wall.
Moving away from the guy, Jiyoon, the first thing she did, looked at the younger one. Seeing how she, with Jeemin by the arm, walked away from her, Yoon felt an unpleasant aftertaste settle on her heart like a cold.
-I was so worried about you, please forgive me for leaving you alone then. I love you Jiyoon
Looking at the boy again, she felt no thrill, no joy from their meeting. And in his arms, she did not feel safe. Standing next to Yeonjun, her heart and soul reached out to Jungeun.

-Jiyoon?

Realizing that she still hadn't said a word, Yoon replied
-I love you too.
Her mother, Rose, always told her that you can only lie when necessary. The girl thought that in this situation, she needed to lie to Yeonjun. Not far from the couple, there were two girls, one of whom didn't say a word.
