They entered a food place, there was no one else, just the two of them.
They were both trying to regulate their breathing.
"That was the craziest thing I've ever done in my life." she was breathing heavily.
"Sure, it's not every day you get chased by a bunch of undead."
Both boys with their hands on their knees began to laugh at what had just happened.
"Everyone is fine?."
"I am."
"And you Yongmin?"
There was no response, he straightened up and looked around.
"And Yongmin?"
"I do not know." Haneul looked all over the place. "Nor is Yang mi."
Both boys looked disconcerted, they believed that the other two had followed them but it turned out not.
"I hope you are well." Seok was a bit worried about Yongmin.
He only recently met him, but he still liked him very much.
"I don't know what your friend is like, but from Yang mi I could tell you that I fear more for what happens to the zombies than for her."
"She is amazing, she will know how to take care of herself." Seok agreed as he witnessed how good that brunette was. "I don't know what to say about Yongmin because just when you approached me in that cafeteria I had just met him."
"Oh, well, the same thing happened to me with Yangmi, I just met her when she started this. Besides, I liked both boys a lot, just like you."
Haneul gave her a sincere smile, it was true that she had liked the three boys super well, and Seok never let go of her and kept her away from all the chaos.
"Thanks, I think the same, although I haven't met the chestnut formally." Seok smiled sheepishly.
Both boys smiled and Haneul began to survey the place where they were.
"Are you hungry?." Haneul asked after taking a better look at the place.
"With this going on I doubt anyone has an appetite."
"I know but we still have to feed ourselves, since we don't know when those things will attack us again. We have to have energy."
"You're right, but first we have to investigate that there aren't any more of those in here with us."
Haneul cautiously approached the office bar and fearfully poked her head behind it.
There was no one there, so he went through the door to enter the kitchen, which was still empty.
"No one." warning in a low tone.
Getting no response from her partner, she looked behind her, Seok wasn't with her.
She came out of the kitchen but there was no sign of that chestnut.
"Where have you been?" she whispered to herself.
Seok had gone to check the bathrooms, maybe someone was hiding there, when he was inside the bathroom with great caution and trying not to make noise, he opened little by little each door of the bathroom cubicles.
Apparently there was nothing around, maybe that place had not yet opened when the chaos began.
Finding nothing, she went straight to the bathroom exit, but before she reached for the doorknob in the last cubicle, a noise was heard.
Seok stood motionless for a moment trying to better hear what caused that sound, but he couldn't hear anything.
Could it be his imagination?
Maybe, so since she didn't hear anything else, she tried to get out of there, but that noise was heard again.
"Why me?." Seok lamented.
Without anything of value he went to the place where that sound came from.
He felt his legs tremble, well his whole body trembled he was a very cowardly person.
"Hello?." I ask in a whisper.
He got no answer, he put his hand to the cubicle door but before he could push it, he opened the entrance to the bathrooms.
Seok screamed and huddled close to the wall where he was, he looked towards the exit of that room and in the doorway was Haneul with a huge knife in his right hand.
"All good?." she asked, unaware of the scare she gave her partner.
Seok placed his hand over the area of her heart, which was beating at a thousand miles per hour, as if she had run a marathon, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't scare me like that." Haneul scolded. "I could have died."
"Sorry." she apologized. "Why are you taking so long?"
"I heard a noise in this last cubicle and was about to check until you made your loud entrance." he looked at her in a bad way.
"I already apologize." Haneul crossed her arms across her chest.
"Anyway, what's the knife for?"
"Yangmi brings with her a metal tube to defend herself, I don't know how to use this but I suppose it will help us." he shrugged as he lowered the corners of her mouth.
"Good idea, give me that." Seok extended his hand waiting for that object.
Haneul carefully handed him the knife.
"Stay back and be prepared for whatever's coming." I look at the girl.
Haneul nodded and walked over to the exit door, opening it just a crack in case they had to run.
Seok looked at her and again looked at the cubicle, firmly holding the knife and pushed the door of that small room a little.
He opened it wide but there was nothing inside.
"But what?." he was incredulous.
He had heard noise inside that compartment, how come there was nothing there?
He looked at Haneul with a frown and entered the room.
Indeed there was nothing.
"Your imagination?."
"I swear I heard something."
"Maybe it's what we've been through, don't worry, it's normal."
Seok nodded and without further ado they both walked out of the bathroom.
"Let's go to the kitchen, I'll prepare something for both of us."
"I'll help you."
Both boys got ready to make something simple for the two of them and once it was ready they ate right there, they didn't want to make much noise to attract more of those things where they were.
"I hope Yongmin and Yangmi are okay." Haneul looked at her plate.
"Me too, although we thought the best, we have to worry about ourselves since we don't have that incredible capacity of the brown-haired girl." Seok glanced at his partner.
Haneul agreed, Yangmi was amazing.
"Even though she didn't think they were together because they don't even know each other." Seok pointed out.
"You're right, I still hope they're okay."
"Do you have Haneul family?" Seok tried to change the subject.
"Yes, they are in Thailand, I'm from there." Haneul hoped his family was okay and not in the same situation as them.
"They'll be fine." Seok placed a hand on top of Haneul's.
"I hope so." the girl smiled sadly.
"We will do everything possible to get out of here, I myself will take you to your family safe and sound."
Haneul looked into Seok's eyes and a tear slid down her face, she smiled tenderly at the boy in front of her.
"Thank you very much Seok, I really appreciate it, I'll also help you find your family."
"Don't worry, my family is a long way from here so I know they're fine for now."
"May I ask where they are?"
"They're in America, they're both dance choreographers and they're there for a competition, so don't worry."
"Why didn't you go with them?" she was curious about him boy.
"It's a long story, maybe I'll tell you later."
Haneul didn't want to make him uncomfortable so she just nodded and they continued eating.
"We should look for Yongmin and Yangmi" Haneul suggested.
"But where?."
"I do not know."
"Maybe later we will find them, first we have to think about what we will do to get out of here."
Haneul nodded they had to come up with a plan to avoid being bitten by the infected.
"Maybe we'll be here for a while, let's hope this calms down a bit and maybe tomorrow we'll go out and find a better place."
Seok nodded and they both started to check the whole place, maybe they would have to secure every door and every window so that no one else can enter the place.

"Quick over here."
They both hid in an alley, sticking as close as possible behind a wall.
In front of them were about ten infected, they were slow, that's what Yangmi had called them.
"How many?." Yongmin asked poking his head out a little.
He had nothing to defend himself with so at all times he was after the brunette girl.
"Ten." she was looking at the whole area.
Yongmin wiped a little sweat from her forehead, this was total chaos.
They had been trying to find a shelter for approximately more than an hour but more and more of these things appeared causing them to deviate more from their respective homes.
"Can you handle them?"
Yangmin turned to look at him with a frown.
"Obviously not, there are too many, besides I have to take care that they don't bite you as much as me."
Yongmin knew that, he felt like a complete burden for the girl, but he hadn't been able to find anything to help her.
"Don't worry, we'll both get out of here safe and sound, we'll find another way out." Yangmi gave him a smile.
She returned her gaze to where the infected were, then she looked in the opposite direction, there was nothing there.
"We are going to come back."
"That?." Yongmin frowned. "Why would I want to go back?"
"Because we can't go on for them." I point to the street where those beings were walking. "Let's go back and try to find a clean street."
"Whatever you say, I trust you."
Yangmi immediately turned to see him very surprised.
"Really?."
"What thing?."
"What you said a moment ago."
"That I trust you?"
Yangmi nodded as she looked around the area seeing that no one will come close.
"Of course I trust you." Yongmin confirmed getting the girl's attention. "If I didn't I wouldn't be following you."
Yangmi rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Well, let's be careful, try not to bump into anything and try not to make too much noise, we don't know if there's a rapid nearby."
He nodded and began to follow the girl closely, glancing around from time to time.
They reached the corner and looked both ways, there was nothing.
"Left or right?." Yangmi looked both ways.
"Right let's go to my apartment." Yongmin started to lead.
Yangmi followed him closely and attentive to everything around her, she had to be very aware because she was the only one who had something to protect them both.
Yongmin came to another corner and poked his head in. He saw three infected, but he didn't know if they were fast or slow.
"There are three." notice the girl.
"Fine, leave it to me."
Yangmi took off her backpack and from it took out the bottle of water that she had kept that morning.
He opened it and took a long drink, running from it all morning had left her thirsty.
"Want?." I ask holding out the bottle to Yongmin.
He without hesitation took the bottle and took it directly to his mouth to quench her thirst as well.
I return the bottle to the chestnut and she without further ado put the lid on and immediately threw it as far as she could.
When they heard the sound that the bottle made when it fell, they headed in that direction.
Once the path was clear, Yangmi pulled Yongmin and they both headed straight for the boy's apartment.
They ran down the street leaving the three infected behind.
Turning a corner they were seen by a group of infected who without waiting any longer ran in their direction.
"They are fast." Yongmin took Yangmi's arm to run in the opposite direction.
Both boys ran as fast as they could, in the race more infected were joining them, they were being chased by a large number of those beings.
The rapids were getting closer and closer to them.
"What will we do?."
"Separate us." Yangmi sentenced.
"No." Yongmin denied. "Let's go together, it won't be long before I get to my apartment, a little more please."
Yangmi nodded and ran ahead taking Yongmin's hand, they turned left at the next corner.
Without stopping the race they passed by all those infected that were in that street.
They were surrounded by all of them.
Now what?.
Yongmin as he ran looked around, firmly held Yangmi's hand and climbed up the sidewalk to be able to run better.
It was not long before he reached his destination.
"A little more Yangmi."
One last lap and Yongmun increased the race without letting go of the girl, he hoped that the door was unlocked.
Once near the building he headed straight for the subway.
"Open the door!." he yelled at the guard.
Seeing Yongmin, he quickly opened the door for both of them to enter.
"Close it quick!" yelled Yangmi helping the boy close the door.
As soon as it was closed, it was heard how those infected crashed against the door.
The three walked away from there.
"What is happening?." he guard was scared.
"You won't open that door for the world." The girl pointed her finger at the guard. "Unless you want to die." he warned her in an agitated voice.
Yongmin kept his hands on his knees trying to calm his breathing.
"Well since we're safe, I have to continue on my way." yangmi announcement
"That?." Yingmin looked at the girl.
"That you are already safe, now I have to continue on my way." she repeated.
"You can't do that, we barely made it out alive. How do you intend to get out in that condition?"
"Don't worry, I'll rest a bit and then I'll go. You have to do the same boy." he addressed the guard.
Yongmin didn't want that girl to risk more than she had done a few minutes ago.
"Stay." He interrupted the conversation between Yangmi and the guard.
"That?."
"Stay for today, tomorrow you can leave if you want but at least rest today."
Yangmi looked at him pondering what he had told her.
"I don't want to be a bother." she felt ashamed.
"I think I was the nuisance all the way."
Yangmi smiled at him, but shook her head.
"Fine, just for the rest of the day and tomorrow I'll be on my way."
"Alright let's go." Yongmin started walking.
Before following him, she looked around for something to bar the door.
"That'll do." she approached a shelf.
Both men looked at her without knowing what she was doing.
"Do you help me or do you want me to do everything?"
Both immediately approached the girl and helped pull a huge shelf that was somewhat heavy.
They went through the door and to top it off Yangmi locked the door.
"I hope it's enough." she said. "Try to get out of here." I look at the guard.
"Thank you, Miss." the guard thanked and went inside the building to warn everyone about what was happening.
"Let's go?." Yongmin addressed the girl.
She with some embarrassment nodded and followed the boy.
They were safe now, but they couldn't stay here long.
They would have to go out again looking for some shelter and do what they could to survive.
They hoped that Haneul and Seok were okay. And if it was possible to see them again.
