Dawn Of The Dead ❘ CIX × Reader「Zombie Apocalypse」✔

「Episode 19」

The shadow of the person is seen briefly by the main gate and disappears. I'm quite excited to see a survivor. I haven't seen anyone since I met the guys here.

I look back to show Jihyo the person but instead of Jihyo, I see Jinyoung standing behind me. I think Jihyo is already in the main classroom.

Jinyoung:
Something out there?

Me:
I just saw a person.

Jinyoung:
...

Me:
What's wrong?

Jinyoung:
Just...I'm just confused. Things have become so complicated now.

I'm not quite following what he means.

Jinyoung:
I don't think...zombies are the only dangerous ones here anymore.

Considering our situation, he's right. I'm just surprised to see how different he is compared to when I first met him. I wonder what has changed his mind.

Jinyoung:
When you said you saw a person, it just made me think. It's just...I can't trust no one--whether it's a zombie or a human.

Me:
We must be more careful. And stay strong...Even if we meet new people, we'll just stay strong and take extra caution. Then we should be fine.

I don't even know if I make any sense. But Jinyoung seems to be glad to hear me.

Jinyoung:
You're right...As long as we look out for each other. We don't have to be afraid.

Me:
I thought I was just babbling...but thanks!

Jinyoung:
Let's get back. The guys must be worried.

Me:
Okay.

We head back to 1-C together.

Yonghee:
Oh, you guys are back.

Seunghun:
You cried all out, wimp?

Yonghee:
Hey, be nice.

Behind Seunghun stands Hyunsuk who looks like he's got something to tell me. He hesitantly walks over to me.

Hyunsuk:
Umm...Y/n. I-

Me:
Hey, it's okay. I'm fine.

Hyunsuk:
Oh, come on! Why do you always have to be so understanding? Don't you even get angry?

Seunghun:
Why are you upset, Hyunsuk?

Hyunsuk:
Uh...I mean...I was just...I'm sorry. I blamed you for all the bad things that happened here. And I shouldn't have. I didn't mean to accuse you like that. I know you didn't do it.

He sounds like he really means it. He seems sincere.

Me:
Okay, I got it. Apology accepted.

Hyunsuk:
...Okay. It won't happen again.

I nod and look around.

Gowon:
...

I guess I should talk to Gowon some other day. Byounggon comes to me after talking to Jinyoung.
