3rd Person's POV
As the group left the classroom, one didn't seem to be fully out, and that was Chae Rin whose foot was in the doorway getting help by the teacher.
"Ya! What are you doing?" Su Hyeok hurriedly asked, she bit her lip using her other leg to hit the teacher's head as he finally let go, and she managed to pull her foot out, Su Hyeok firmly closing the door behind them.
"Mother fucker got my foot!" she said exasperated.
"Stupid teacher. I never liked him, always making me run around the yard and shit" she grumbled, looking down at her foot, luckily there wasn't a single bite or scratch mark.
Su Hyeok laughed, helped her up and the two raced to their group who was a little more ahead, just as a zombie appeared in front of Na Yeon's face, making the girl fall to the ground.
"Ya! Hurry and go" Chae Rin rushed, pushing Su Hyeok who used the momentum to jump and kick the zombie, the others backing away as he took on the incoming zombies.
"Wah he-he, my boxing classes will come in handy these next few days" Chae Rin bragged, going up front and helping the boy who just seemed to never get tired as he used a zombie as a shield to kick another.
As another zombie rushed to his side, Chae Rin pulled him back by the back of his shirt before raising her leg to kick him in the face, Su Hyeok using it at his advantage to hold her shoulder and kick another.
But as Su hyeok had to flip one of the zombies over as Chae Rin was bothered smashing another one's head into the window, another zombie rushed to their classmates, although stopped by Su Hyeok who threw himself at it's back.
Chae Rin used the zombie she had just smashed the face of as a shield, throwing him on top of the others before rushing and pulling yet another zombie who had it for Su Hyeok who was on the ground.
"A little help please" She yelled at the frozen students, Cheong San went right into action removing a window from its frame, the other male students following suit.
Cheong San helped Chae Rin who was using her arms to keep the zombie's mouth away from her, using the corners of the window to get him off, Chae Rin immediately stood up kicking the zombie from off Su Hyeok, Gyeong Su and Cheong San hurriedly used the window frames to create a space between the zombies and them.
"Oh shit. Yes Cheong San!" Chae Rin quietly cheered for him, a smile on her face as she admired him.
"Ya. Quit flirting and go help them" Su hyeok said smacking the the back of her head.
"Ah! Ya... I'll kill you today" she cussed him, nevertheless she went to help the others push the mirrors and the zombies, as others yell to be careful with the hands, Chae Rin turns back hearing a loud thud, and there was Dae Su, in all his glory, with a door in his hands.
"Ya! Get out of the way!" He warns them, dashing to the front, putting the door.
"On 3 get down" Chae Rin said, and as the countdown reached 3, all of them pushed the zombies down, going down themselves as Dae Su placed the door sideways to fit the whole corridor, blocking the zombies, all of us going back to being against the door helping him push it.
"Oi! Don't just stand there!" The girl yelled at the others who stood still at the door that we had come out of, and as they helped us, we managed to push the Zombies faster.
"We have to turn!
"Push!" they all yelled, Wu Jin pushed Chae Rin back into the girls as Joon Yeong pushed a single zombie to the back where all of them pushed the zombies to the stairs.
"Run upstairs!" Wu Jin yelled, the girls yelled, but Chae Rin lingered longer in the stairs, almost as if making sure they wouldn't sacrifice themselves.
But as the boys finally managed to throw all the zombies down, she too hurried upstairs
"Hurry up!" Someone at the back yelled, Chae Rin only glimpsed at her behind, seeing the zombies already standing up and ready to follow the group up.
Su Hyeok staying behind to make sure they all had time to go upstairs as he held the zombies up from rushing.
Reaching a corridor, Nam Ra dashed for a door but I Sak was quick to grab her as she saw a zombie coming out of it, telling her that they had to go up another floor, and so they all went back for the stairs, Wu Jin just behind them rushing them to move as he used the door frame to stop the zombies from coming near, the other boys already rushing upstairs to help the girls.
Su Hyeok who had stayed behind knocked over a zombie who was beginning to run after Wu Jin who went for the stairs, kicking another that was about to reach him in the corridor before he made a run for the stairs, a female zombie grabbing onto his foot making him fall on the stairs, he grunts and Cheong San who heard it looks down to see his friend splattered on the stairs kicking the zombie in the shoulder.
"Su hyeok!" He calls out.
"Go to the science lab! Hurry!" Su Hyeok yells back at him, a zombie attacking him, but in seconds Su Hyeok pushes him away.
Meanwhile, upstairs it isn't any better, the students fought against the zombies, trying to find a room that wasn't overrun with them and that hadn't been successful, as the boys covered the front and Dae Su covered them from behind as more zombies rushed in.
The front pushed enough to get to the science lab door, however they all quickly found out that it was locked, falling into despair, but thankfully, On Jo just had the best memory and soon.
"Dae Su! Push!" She said, as some of the girls and Dae Su pushed on their side, On Jo crouched down and was able to get the water hose and running back to the door she used it to knock out the lock.
"Watch your hands!" Chae Rin warned as her friend used even more strength to break open the lock, which she thankfully managed to do, just as more zombies rushed over, some even climbing in.
"As the boys used their strength to push over the zombies onto the floor, Dae Su, Chae Rin, Nam Ra and Ji Min did the same, the girls rushed in, Chae Rin this time did not stay behind and rushed just after Nam Ra, Dae Su still hit the zombies on the other side, breaking a window of the lab before he rushed inside as On Jo closed the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Chae Rin's POV
"The window..." I mumbled, pointing at it, Dae Su just happened to be right under it when a hand reached in, blood smearing on Dae Su's face which made him scream.
Joon Yeong jumping into action and grabbing a fire extinguisher, which not only got the zombie away from Dae Su's hair... but also broke another window.
"Bring the desks" I said loudly, Cheong San rushes in to push Ji Min aside as she tried hitting them with harmless things.
As the guys brought the desk close to the wall, Gyeong Su and Wu Jin brought another one sideways to cover the broken windows.
Wu Jin ends up sitting against the desk as Gyeong Su and Joon Yeong stand at the sides keeping it in place as I hand Wu Jin a hair for him to fit just above him on the window.
Cheong San also hops on the table as Dae Su hands him another chair which he places covering the window.
I watch as Joon Yeong stares at his shaky hands, taking them into mine and turning them over, so he can't see the blood in them.
"You're fine. You did well" I reassure him, he meekly nods, likely trying to comprehend what the fuck just happened as I nod at him, bring my shirt's sleeve over my hand using it to wipe at his bloody hands.
"You're okay" I told him quietly, afterwards making him sit on a nearby chair as I place a hand on his shoulder.
"Where's the phone? I'll try calling again" I heard Na Yeon's voice from behind me.
"I dropped it" On Jo shamefully said, I turn around my eyes on the two, a not so subtle shocked expression on my face.
"How could you lose it?" Na Yeon yelled while pushing her shoulders.
"Who cares about that right now? This is more urgent" Gyeong Su tells her annoyed grabbing yet another desk to help with the zombies trying to enter our class.
"Who are you to butt in?" She asks him.
"Here we go again" I sigh.
"What?"
"This has all happened because you didn't hold the door. If you had, the gym teacher wouldn't have gotten in. We almost died because of you" She angrily stated.
"That could've happened to anyone Na Yeon" I said.
"Then maybe you should have held the door" Gyeong Su spat back.
"You're a fucking asshole" She said disgusted, Dae Su still calls out to Gyeong Su, but it's too late as he walks to Na Yeon grabbing her by the collar.
"You bitch" he says
I rush over, trying to pry his hand off as she gets just even more agitated.
"How dare you touch me?!" She yells at him.
"Stop yelling. You're making it worse outside!" I furiously said, making my own stance from between them.
"Stop paying attention to her. The more you give in to her the more she'll say to anger you" I said pushing back on his shoulder making him knock back as I Sak manages to drag him off as once more, the pink princess throws a tantrum taking off her tie and knocking down a stool.
"Fucking hell" I cuss, taking a hand through my hair.
"Where's Su Hyeok? Has anyone seen him?" On Jo asks, my eyes widen as I look around.
"Shit... did he stay outside?!" I ask, rushing to the door.
"You were with him" On Jo says, directed at Cheong San.
"He was behind me, but..." he drags on.
"Then, where did he go?" On Jo presses on.
"I don't know" he replied.
"Let's all think on the bright side, I mean... It's Su Hyeok, he never dies... right? Nam Ra?" I say, laughing nervously, before turning to Nam Ra.
"Huh? Oh... Yes" she says, turning to the door, inching closer trying to look into the corridor we had just come from.
"We need to find a way out. I don't see the room withstanding much more..." I sigh, inching closer to Wu Jin who almost automatically placed his arm over my shoulder almost protectively, Cheong San scoffing at us while I put my tongue out at him. All of us sitting on the floor, with the exception of Na Yeon who was sitting alone in a stool and I Sak and On Jo who sat against the counters near the windows.
I was about to open my mouth to speak again when a loud noise cut me off and I winced at the ring it caused on my ear closing my eyes.
"Students and teachers of Hyosan High School. I'm Park Sun Hwa, the English teacher. Something strange is happening throughout the school. Some students are attacking people indiscriminately, so please find a safe place and take shelter. And if any student of faculty hears this and is able, please call the police and the fire department. Students, hide somewhere safe until help arrives. If you can get out of the school, please get out.
I repeat, some students are..."
I close my eyes leaning my head back reaching to grab Cheong San's hand who gives it a squeeze.
"Guys... you're okay, right? You're not hurt, right? I don't know what's going on, or why this is happening. Still, find a safe place and hide. I'm sorry, i can't be of any help. Dont get hurt okay? Let's stay alive and meet again , okay?" And with those final words, of our noticeable sad teacher the radio broadcast ended.
~~~~~~
"Ya! You cheated! Dae Su, you saw that right?! I put scissors and he had paper but put rock!" I argued.
"I didn't see anything" Dae Su said putting his hands in the air, I glare at him annoyed.
"Jang Wu Jin, i swear to god-"
"Okay, okay, I cheated" he gave up with a sigh.
"Chae Rin" I heard someone call out to me, I turned to the side, I Sak calling me over as she walked towards On Jo who was alone by the window. I got up, walking towards them.
"What's wrong flower?" I ask On Jo.
"She's probably worried about Su hyeok" I Sak snickered.
"Don't worry too much, I'm sure Su Hyeok will be fine. He's athletic and super fast" she continued, trying to console their friend, to which she nodded with a hum of agreement.
As I looked at I Sak it seemed we both had the same idea as she laces her hands with On Jo's while I lay my head on her shoulder.
"But... Cheong San's acting weird. He's super irritable. I think he likes you. I can totally tell" I Sak teased her.
My smile fell, but i soon plastered another one as I laugh.
"No, he doesn't. He doesn't feel things like that. He's too busy teasing me" On Jo says, but her mind goes elsewhere as I see her eyes go to I Sak's hand, holding her owns.
"What's wrong?" I ask her confused.
"I Sak... why are you so cold?" On Jo asks her, I move from her shoulder standing a bit behind her as I too look at I Sak.
"What do you mean?" I sak questions her. On Jo doesn't reply simply raising their combined hands placing her's against her cheek.
"Touch mine" I say, putting my cheek out, and at the contact I jolt back.
"You're freezing, I Sak, don't you feel - "
"What do I not feel?" she asks curiously, my eyes widen as my lip trembles, as I walk backwards, On Jo immediately letting go of her best friend's hand as she notices the stream of blood that leaves her nose.
"Did you..." I softly ask.
"No, I wasn't bit. Really" She says confused.
The back of my hand went to cover my mouth as I pull On Jo closer to my side and a bit further away from I Sak.
"I mean it. I really wasn't bit" she continues, speaking a little louder than before, catching the attention of the others.
"What's going on? Were you bit?" Na Yeon asks getting up from her seat.
"No, I wasn't!" I Sak argues back running to the mirror., my feet stayed glued to the ground as more blood ran out of her nose, my hand on the window frame supporting me as my legs felt like giving up.
"Ya... You're okay, right?" Gyeong Su softly asked her, but her head turned to us.
Her eyes, were bloodshot red, the stream of blood from her nose already on her chin, I closed my eyes, I didn't need that memory of I Sak on my head...
I knew she was turning, and I didn't want to see a friend of mine like that.
My legs finally gave up as I fell, my back against the wall.
"On Jo yah..." she called out, "Chae Rin-ah"
I stayed quiet, holding on my emotions as On Jo called out to her, footsteps coming closer.
"I'm not it, right? I'm not like them, right?" I could hear her ask.
"I'm not. I'm not like them" She now said assertively.
"Chae Rin-ah, look at me. I'm really fine" she softly said, I nodded lifting my head, sniffing as I stood up to join the two best friends.
"You're fine" I assured her.
"What are you guys doing? Get her out of here!" Na Yeon yelled, attracting more zombies that now were trying to climb into the room by the broken windows, Dae Su jumping onto the table to keep them out.
"No...I'm fine!" I Sak yelled at the group, pulling away from On Jo's hug as I stood a little behind her, Cheong San approaching and pulling On Jo away with him, although... I wasn't grabbed.
I couldn't move though, and I guess they could tell because in a second Gyeong Su grabbed my hand before placing his arm over my shoulder and bringing me near the door, my eyes never leaving I Sak.
"No, she-she's not bit Gyeong Su. Come on, it's just a nose bleed" I laugh humorlessly, but he simply brings me closer without a word.
"She's fine! Why would she get bit? It doesn't make any sense" I continue, but soon enough I Sak falls onto her knees and onto the ground before she starts convulsing.
Gyeong Su places me near Nam Ra who grabs me instead as I try to inch closer to I Sak, Na Yeon's screams almost silent to me as Cheong San holds onto On Jo who is having an even more sad reaction to her best friend.
I Sak stands up, her body facing the window counters before she turns around, locking eyes with On Jo before Cheong San pushes On Jo to the side and fights her off.
I go to scream but my mouth is covered by Nam Ra who pulls me in closer to her, tears finally falling down as I stare at the girl I often hung out with, just a few days ago eaten Chicken with...
I watched as Cheong San grabbed a stool and used it as a shield against I Sak as On Jo asked him to stop, finally yelling his name, making not only his attention turn to her, but also I Sak's.
"I can't do this" I said, breaking free from Nam Ra's hold, Gyeong Su still tried to catch me
"On Jo!" I yelled, my body hit I Sak's pushing her out the window as Cheong San also raced to protect the girl he clearly liked.
I fell to the ground, I could feel a piece of glass on my face but I ignored it looking at On Jo who instead rushed to grab I Sak's arm that was holding her on the window.
"On Jo-yah..." I sorrowfully called out to her.
I was ignored as she rushed to hold I Sak from falling, and Cheong San who rushed to make her let go of her hand...
