At the end of the movie

All were asleep except for Jessica and Namjoon.

Jessica: * whisper* It looks like we're the only ones awake.

Namjoon: they're all dead, not asleep!

Jessica: * giggled* should we carry them or…

Namjoon: Wake Julie first.

Jessica: Jonjon…Jonnn… Julieeee

Julie: yea? * Rubbing her eyes*

Jessica: Let's go to your apartment; you're already asleep. 

Julie: Yea sure * yawning*

Sleepy Julie meandered forward, her eyelids heavy and fluttering as if she were caught in a dreamy haze. Jessica stifled a giggle, her heart warm with affection, as she grasped Julie's hand, guiding her with gentle insistence to shield her from any misstep. When they finally reached the apartment, Jessica carefully ushered Julie into the sanctuary of her bedroom.

Jessica: Do you sleep with your hair like that or should I make it into a bun for you?

Julie: If you can, please.

Jessica: sure why not * making the bun*

Seeing the scar on Julie's neck, Jessica got worried.

Jessica: Julie, are you okay?

Julie: Why the sudden question? What's the matter? * faced her with a frown*

Jessica: nothing

Jessica expertly twisted the strands of Julie’s hair into a neat bun, her fingers dancing with grace as she tucked away any loose strands. With a tender sigh, she laid Julie down on the soft bed. She draped a cozy blanket over her before going back to Namjoon.

Namjoon: Did she go to bed?

Jessica: yes she did…

At the stroke of midnight

Julie stirred from her sleep in the stillness of the night, her throat parched and dry. With a shuffle, she crept toward the kitchen, the chill of the tile floor sending a shiver up her spine. As she opened the fridge, its cool light spilled into the dim room, illuminating the dark corners. That’s when she caught sight of Namjoon, silhouetted against the night sky on the balcony, his figure framed by the shimmering stars. An urge to join him tugged at her heart, but then a stifled sob cut through the silence, sending a jolt of worry racing through her. Rushing outside, she found him hunched over, tears streaming down his face, each breath shaking as if the weight of his sorrow threatened to consume him.

Julie: Namjoon?

Namjoon: * quickly wiped his tears, but they kept falling* 

Julie: * back hugged him* What happened, Joon?

Namjoon remained silent, his body trembling as Julie's embrace surrounded him, the warmth somehow intensifying his pain. 

Julie: Shh, it’s okay... I’m here. 

Namjoon: P-please... d-don't g-get inf-ected...

Julie: * pulled back slightly to meet his gaze, her smile gentle and reassuring* "Who said that I will? 

Namjoon: * his teary eyes searched hers, filled with fear* 

Julie: * gently wiped his tears away with her thumb* Is that really why you're crying?

Namjoon: I'm just... scared. I can't bear the thought of losing you to that infection.

Julie: Didn’t we promise to tell each other if we got infected? Why are you here crying then? If anything happens, I’ll let you know. But for now… Please, stop crying. I can’t stand seeing you like this.

Namjoon: hmm * wiping his tears*
