Episode 11: Rescue (Part 4)

Hyun's POV

As the girl grabbed me by the wrist, she, the man, and I headed to another room on the 11th floor.

Quiet pants can be heard throughout the room as we listened carefully, waiting for any heavy footsteps that could be heard coming down the hall.

Once there were no signs of the monster coming their way, we sighed a breath of relief and tried to catch their breath.

"It's gone." the woman began, "It looks like we barely got away."

The brunette man beside her nodded and sighed. "Lucky for us that monster is really slow.."

The two strangers then turned to me, as I was still sitting on the floor and panting heavily. I slowly met their gaze, taking in the surroundings before looking back at the two.

"Where am I..?" I said while panting, causing the man to chuckle softly.

"You must have been too busy following us so you didn't even look." He pointed out, "This is apartment number 1107, we found a lot of food here, so we're just using this place for a while. We couldn't figure out what happened to whoever lived here."

"Apartment 1107...? So we're... on the 11th floor..." I looked at him strangely as I processed the information, before suddenly something clicked in my brain, causing the panic to set in as I tried to get up on my feet.

"No..! The kids! Dae-shim!" I cried out, the sudden realization of leaving the three alone wandering the building.

"Huh? What's the matter?" the man asked me.

"Dae-shim?!" Questioned the girl, looking shocked at hearing the name.

"How do you know him?!" She asked me, causing me to turn my head in her direction.

"He...He's my neighbor...he became my partner once this all happened.." I explained, before suddenly looking up at the two strangers, giving them a pleading look.

"He's all alone!" He exclaimed, "He has two kids with her and she's waiting for me to come back!"

The redhead kept looking at him, shock easily readable on her features before they suddenly hardened.

"I'm sorry, but we can't go back out there. Especially not with that monster lumbering around." She stated. "And besides, you're infected. Am I right?"

I was surprised by what the girl said, especially the last one. I can even tell that the man in front of me is just as surprised as I am.

I lowered my head down as I tried to fathom her words.

Jayhun's POV

"Infected?" I repeated what Jisu said before asking her. "Do you know each other?"

"Well, I know him but not the other way around. Before, I found him passed out after having a massive nosebleed. That was probably an early symptom," Jisu replied as I was shocked by the mention of the monsterization disease.

"Have we.. met each other?" the boy asked.

"Just answer me," Jisu interrupted. "The nosebleed, fainting, you're infected right?"

The boy didn't say anything for a while.

"Please be honest with us..." I added.

"...Yes, I am," the boy replied.
