You never know when you're going to meet someone important. There's no warning. You just look up and there she is.

Movie : How I Met Your Mother

The military SUV sped through the streets teeming with zombies. The three soldiers who disobeyed their General's orders had been driving to Sunan School for half an hour.

- Captain Wang, do you think the teenagers are still alive? - Bang Chan asked from the passenger seat.
- I can only hope that they are safe, Chan - Jackson answered from behind the wheel of the car.

- We can't wait here forever, the military might not have heard our message - Mai said.

The group of guys gathered in a circle were discussing.
- I agree with Mai - Taehyung answered.
- Then what do you suggest? - Sujeong asked.
- We need to get out ourselves - Yuju said.

Jungeun listened silently, throwing quick glances at Jiyoon, who was animatedly saying something to Yeonjun.
After yesterday's kiss, the girls did not discuss their actions, only silently parting, sitting on opposite sides of each other. We've run out of food and water, we need to get out ourselves, Jeemin supported Yuju. Remembering Fuko's condition, Choi turned to Hayashi with a question:

- How is your leg, Fuko?
- I feel better, but I don't think I can run with this leg - she said dejectedly.

Silence reigned in the group, each of them understood that with the condition of the Japanese girl, they would not be able to go far.

- I will carry - Kai suddenly spoke
- You don't have to - Hayashi said
- I know, but I am strong enough and you are not very heavy, I think I can carry you on my back
- Thank you - Fuko said with sincere gratitude.
- Okay, it's decided with Fuko, now we need a plan - Saran said, clapping her hands.
- We can check the situation from both doors, in which there will be fewer monsters, we can get out from there - Jiyoon suggested, finishing her conversation with Yeonjun.
- I think this is our only way out - Choi agreed, after which the girls' eyes met, for the first time since the incident last night.

Noticing the shy smile and slight blush on the cheeks of the elder, Jungeun's heart jumped with happiness. Returning the same smile for Jiyoon, Jeun looked away.

- What was that just now? - Saran said in Jungeun's ear.
- I don't understand what you're talking about.
- Your cunning ass understands everything perfectly. Jeong-Jeong.

Knowing that her friend would have a violent reaction to what she heard, Choi decided to tell everything when the girls were alone.

- When are we heading out? - Yeonjun asked.
- First, we need to decide who will go on reconnaissance. - Mai answered.
- I'll go. - Saebi suddenly spoke up.

The group exchanged doubtful glances.

- Are you sure, Saebi? - Jeemin asked softly.
- Yes. - Jungeun answered with a confident tone.
- Okay, who else? - Mai continued.

The guys unanimously decided that Kai, Taehyung and Mai would go to the main door, and Saebi, Jungeun, Yeonjun and Jiyoon would go to the back door.
Holding Koko's knife in her hands, Choi walked towards Saebi, who was standing nearby.

- Here, this is Koko's knife - Choi said, holding the knife out to the girl.

Looking at the knife that Koko was holding yesterday, Saebi reached for it.
- Thank you, - Saebi said weakly.
Nodding her head, Jungeun was about to turn around when she heard Jungeun voice.
- I'm sorry for the slap, - the girl said sincerely.
- It's okay, I don't hold a grudge - Choi smiled weakly and walked towards Saran.
