A week later...
When I leave the house, I get the surprise that Taeyang is out of the building.
He's wearing a pants attached to his thighs, and a celestial silk shirt and a leather jacket with military boots.
- Good morning, I said hello and bowed.
- Good morning, Sonia! - He gave me my greeting — you don't need to bow every time we meet.
- Yeah, okay. - Why are you here? You coming for someone?
- I live here...
Since I haven't seen him before...
- I couldn't help smiling.
- Yes, I'm glad she's my neighbor - she said smiling, her smile is the most beautiful in the world and I'm not overreacting.
- We go to school together.
If — I replied immediately, my happiness is noticed miles away.
We got on a black sports car with polarized glass.
- Talk to me about you, I don't want to sleep during the course and have an accident.
- I like piano.
- And what else?
I like to read and write horror stories, I have a book filling with short stories, I said to look at it. His face is perfect, you see he likes to take care of his skin.
- I like piano, too, when I was little, my mom hired a woman to teach me.
- I have little I learned to play.
- I'm fascinated by horror movies, someday we should go to the movies.
If, uh, concealed turned to the window, she smiled like a foolish lover, every one I'm near Taeyang, I feel butterflies in my stomach.
- Do you like any sports?
He parked in the parking lot.
- No, and you?
I like to practice basketball... I forgot, I also like baseball - I mention.
We got out of the car, walking by her side quietly until we get to the living room. I salute my friend Jimin, then I sit in my place.
My first class is singing.
- Good morning, I'm Jackson, your singing teacher, said standing in front of the class. Let's start with the class. I wish to know a little about your skills and know how far you can get — he added, walking between the ranks. —Work is in couples, let you choose your teammate, you have five minutes.
I should team up with Jimin, but Taeyang and I live in the same building and we'll be able to do the job.
Taeyang is handsome, like he'll be kissing him.
Sonia... Sonia — I'm told, she reacted immediately.
- You want to be my partner, he said, I don't know why, but I blushed.
- Let us do the work together, nod. —Of course, I like the idea.
I think someone got ahead of me - I'm talking Jimin standing in front of us.
- If he answered with a laugh, no friend there will be for the other.
I'll go with Suni to see if she's available, she said and made a pout, looks lovely — I feel betrayed Sonia. —jokes, leaves with her head down and pout pout.
Run to Suni and I yell at a couple of kids, she's my partner at work. He's a nineteen-year-old boy, sometimes he behaves like a five-year-old boy.
The director walks into the living room, stops in front of the class, took a few seconds to catch his breath, sweat walks through his cheeks.
Everybody go to the auditorium, he said alarmed. He ran away.
- Get out in order, I order Professor Jackson.
All my fellow men left the living room, Taeyang holds my hand and walks down the hall. I feel nervous, I have a bad feeling. I squeeze Taeyang's hand more, Jimin joins us.
I think that is bad news — Jimin ad. —It is said that another country is attacking us and also talking about zombies.
- I don't think I'm murmuring.
- Leave Sonia alone, you're making her more nervous - I'm talking the nigger a little upset.
- I'm just saying what I hear. - - He said to scratch his neck.
The whole school walks down the halls that go straight to the auditorium, everybody whispers about what happens.
"North Korea next to America attacks us."
"A virus expanded all over the world"
"Humans are becoming a zombie"
When we get to the auditorium, we sit in the last rows, all the teachers are on stage, they look scared.
What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm gonna die? I have a bad feeling.
—Keep quiet — I decree the director through the microphone. —We have just been informed that several clandestine clinics were found throughout the world ago. Where a new virus called "V" is created, symptoms are temperature, vomit and headache. —it pause — the worst of all is that this virus... makes humans carnivores and revives dead, causing the same effect.
Everyone started to whisper, others to scream until Professor Jackson ordered to keep quiet and let the director speak.
—On the news they said that several witnesses saw some men injecting people into the streets. —I conclude and keep quiet.
—These people became zombie as in films, in Busan, no case is yet confirmed, but in other cities in Korea and in other countries. —Professor Jackson said.
- They're going back to their living room and picking up their belongings. Go home, don't come near anyone, just run until you get home, I don't recommend using any means of transport, traffic is horrible right now. —I announce a tall man with dark skin, who doesn't know his name.
I came out of the auditorium holding Jimin's hand, I never thought my nightmares would come true. All those zombie horror movies are becoming reality, too.
My heart beats at a thousand, I felt like I was gonna get out of it any minute.
It must be a dream, if a dream, Sonia wakes up from this horrible nightmare.
Down the halls is a mess, scared people running, some with tears in their eyes.
There's a girl lying on the floor crying for help, but nobody stops to help. He tried to lift her, someone else pushed me and I fall on her.
She keeps crying, I'm trying to stand up, until I feel strong arms around my waist and lift me up. I can see what it is, Jimin.
Thank you, Jimin, help me lift the girl up.
We got the girl standing up after she got a lot of pushes. I left the building holding the girl's hand, and behind us, a sweaty Jimin came out.
Sonia - I scream a voice snores.
That voice is Taeyang, I turn around until I find his eyes.
I got a hit on the ribs, a kid hit me with his arm, and no apologies.
Taeyang, where are you?
- Here, you tell me. He raised a hand in the crowd, on his way to him. I drag the girl with me, Jimin follows us quietly.
He took them home in my car, said a brave Taeyang, neither nervous nor crying, no less can tell that he's afraid.
The professor said there's a lot of traffic, people must be crazy about the news, I said, and then I could spare where I got the hit.
- What's wrong with you?
- Some guy hit me by accident.
- Does it hurt a lot?
- Yes, thank you.
- The nigger said, who is she?
- She's a girl we helped minutes ago.
- You can let go of my hand, please - I speak the blonde girl.
- Until you talk, I thought you were dumb. - - I said and then I laughed.
My name is Hye and thank you for saving me.
- You're welcome - Jimin and I said at the same time.
- Let's get in my car, I'll take shortcuts and get home. Where do you live Hye?
Don't worry about me, I'll find my brother and we'll go home.
Maybe your brother's gone, let me take you home, said the nigger.
Smile, there's a glow in her eyes I've never seen before. I'm jealous of her, I like Taeyang.
- I'm going with Sonia to her house, and you go with the girl. - - I'm Jimin.
- I ask Taeyang without looking at the girl.
She smiles at him, too, and it makes me angry, I can't claim anything because we're nothing.
- Yes, my bike. He took my hand to walk into the parking lot.
- You like Taeyang, Sonia?
- I lied.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Your eyes say something else, I've seen you look at him since the day you met him. You almost killed the girl with your eyes.
- He screamed furious.
- Don't bother, come take you home.
I hate myself for lying, I don't want anyone to know I like Taeyang.
