Yiren flinches at Ryujin's bitterness. I'm speechless...I don't understand why she's so paranoid.
Me:
...Excuse me?
Ryujin:
I asked if you're sure you're not infected. And who the heck brought her here?
Yiren:
Ryujin! Why are you being so mean to her? She's my friend!
Ryujin:
Your friend? Oh, friend my ass! What if she turns into a zombie all of a sudden and kills us all?
Ryujin:
Don't you remember how we ended up here? So everytime we are out, we are going to bring a 'friend' back here?
Byounggon:
Ryujin. We should help each others when we can.
Jinyoung:
(Nods)... Yeah, we should.
Ryujin:
Oh, is that right? Okay, fine.
Ryujin turns her head and glares at me.
Ryujin:
So when do you plan to leave?
Me:
Umm...
Ryujin:
Well, you've been helped. Is there anything else you need from us?
...What? She continues to bite my head off.
Ryujin:
We're running out of food. And everytime we go out in the town, we risk our lives to find more. We're not exactly in a place to help others. Am I wrong?
?:
I must say...she has a point. We can't just bring people here and drain our resources. I think she should go.
Me:
...
The apparent hostility makes me nervous. How naive of me to think I've met such nice people...
Yiren:
Are you insane? Don't you know what it's like out there?
?:
I don't think it's such a terrible idea to let her stay.
It doesn't look like they'll ever come to an angreement. Byounggon thinks for a second and taps me on the shoulder. Then he stops the quarrel and draws everyone's attention.
Byounggon:
You seem to have something to say, right?
Me:
Uhh, Yeah.
Byounggon:
Haha, I knew it! Well, I think everyone's ready for you.
Me:
...Thanks.
Ryujin:
OMG! You got to be kidding me! Do you like her or something? Why are you taking her side?
?:
That enough, Ryujin! I want to hear what she has to say, too.
The girl who hasn't said a word interrupts Ryujin and looks at me. What...should I do now? Right, I have to explain first.
Me:
Once you are infected, the symptoms arise within an hour.
Jinyoung:
(Nods) I don't think she's infected.
Ryujin:
What if she's an exception? I can't take that risk!
