"They are worried because we don't have food even for dinner." KR explained to the rest of the people including Tiara. Tiara looked at her bag near her and wondered 'Does it matter? It won't be enough for all of us.' She gulped down and looked around at everyone. 'I can survive for 8 days without eating anything without it affecting my stamina and strength of the body but they are humans… they can barely survive 3 days without food, not to mention they will lose their strength and stamina due to lack of food within just 1 day.' She sighed at her own thoughts.
Tiara stood up and started opening the drawers in the room but there were only some papers and useless things but she didn't give up and kept on searching for something, anything to eat. Meanwhile, Joy started his recording by saying "One of the problems is food. We don't have food and I don't think any of us have eaten since this afternoon." in Korean. He was seeming very passionate about recording each and every moment for their fans, He didn't want his fans to miss out on anything. At last, she finally found a medium size packet of biscuits. She shoved it to Mrs. Kang, smiling.
The old lady looked at her face and pushed the packet to her, gesturing to her that she should be the one eating it because she found it. Tiara held her hand and put the packet into her palms. She went toward her bag, opened the bag's zip, and started to pull out every snack and water bottle she had inside it. "Did you know about something like this will happen?" Ian asked her. "No no, I always have snacks in my bag." Tiara was still taking out the snacks from her bag.
"How many snacks do you have?" KR got shocked after seeing 8 packets of biscuits, cakes, and other snacks. "Uhm, Not enough." Tiara hesitated because she knew it wasn't enough for everyone.
She stopped as she emptied her bag only the drone, a candy packet, scissors, and tape were left in her bag now. Everyone eye's was moving between her and her snacks. "Look, I know it's not actual food to have for dinner but I have only these." She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice. "But I guess it's good to have something than nothing, right?" She raised her eyes to look at everyone and then looked at everything she had.
There were 10 packets of different snacks, 2 large size of chocolates, and 6 water bottles of which 5 were small that she took from different rooms and 1 was her own.
She peacefully distributed the packets to everyone and they didn't say anything because they were hungry. She saved one of the chocolate for herself and gave everything else to everyone.
Soon they were done eating and drinking water, it helped them a little but didn't end their hunger completely. "Uhm, I think we should call out for help." Jose suggested. "Yes, Like a helicopter or something that can take us out of here." Nolan agreed with his brother. "Yes, We can try and use our contacts and money." KR agreed too and translated it to his Korean fellows.
They all pulled out their phones and Tiara just looked at them making their calls but they cut their calls one by one with dull faces and irritated reactions making it clear that the call for help didn't go well. "Why are they afraid to come and save us even in a helicopter!" Ian was angry and stomped his foot on the floor. "They all are saying that they can't help us because they are scared to come into the zombie area." KR got worried and was about to throw away his phone in anger but it vibrated.
There was a call coming in his phone. "It's president." KR told everyone before picking it up. "America's president?" Nolan asked in confusion. "No, Korea." JJ told him.
KR was discussing the situation they were in and the zombies' behavior with the president and then nodded before ending the call. He took a deep breath and told everyone. "The president said that will send helicopters to save us." Everyone's face lit up with happiness but Tiara looked at KR because she felt like there was something wrong looking at his face. "After 5 days." KR added with a long sigh.
"What 5 days!? How will we survive for 5 days?" Ian yelled and everyone else started complaining about it too but little Miss Tiara was lost in her own thoughts again. "The president said it will take some time because no one is going to risk their lives and go between these eaters. He promised that he will pull all the connections and take permission from the government to send some helicopters to take every one of us out of here." KR explained to everyone what the president told him. "Government work always takes a lot of time." He added.
After trying a lot everyone calmed down and stopped making contact everywhere because they tried everywhere they could leaving them only one option to wait for 5 days. Joy was recording everything since he complained about the lack of food in front of the camera and decided to stop recording now.
Tiara was bored and not able to sleep because of the tension and surroundings. She decided to join the singers in their conversation while the parents lay on the floor and went to sleep.
"Uhm… Have you posted my apology video yet?" Tiara asked and looked toward KR. "Yes, We did." He replied shortly. "Can I ask if you mentioned my name anywhere? As in captions or somewhere?" Tiara asked doubtfully wishing they didn't. She was still looking at KR for an answer but he didn't say anything and looked at JJ and Joy. "No." JJ replied. "Ahh, Thank god." She took a relieved sigh and walked to Joy to sit beside him.
"Can you show me the video?" Tiara asked him politely while pointing to his phone, He just nodded taking hints from the keywords from her sentence 'show' 'video', These were the only words that gave him an idea about what she was asking for.
He opened where he posted the video and gave his phone to her. She looked at the video for a few seconds but then she looked at the description and the comments under the video.
The description was in Korean so she tapped on the translation button. She read the description. ; An apology from TR-X regarding the kiss incident which happened with TR-X Vin.
We know Souls are angry with us and the girl involved in this issue that's why TR-X and Strive Entertainment decided to apologize for the mess that took place in a recent fan meeting in Aglos. We found the girl who was involved and apologized too. We hereby request everyone not to hate TR-X or the girl. The girl had her own reason and apologized as well. She was cooperative to record the video as well, and do not spread hate toward her. Thank you, Souls, for trusting your TR-X. ; [Note: Soul is the name of TR-X's fandom.]
'At least, They tried to stop them from hating me.' Tiara internally rolled her eyes and scrolled down to look at the comments from their followers and half of those were in different languages other than English. She sighed and started tapping on the translation buttons for those comments to read them.
'What a story she made up!' 'I wonder if anyone believes her.' 'At least, She knows she did wrong.' 'I feel sorry for her.' 'She looks young and innocent. Anyone can trust this innocent angelic face even if she gives this type of excuse.' 'D*mn, So innocent.' 'God, Why is she so cute and innocent? I can't be angry on this face.' 'Innocent or not, she did a crime and no one should forgive her.'
She returned Joy's phone to him and sighed. 'Of course, 50% of them are hating me, and 50% are okay.' She covered her face with her palms and cursed her luck and life choices.
She cleared her mind for a few minutes and stood up to go to the corner again. She tried to sleep but failed again to do so. Everyone else fell asleep on the floor one by one but she couldn't. Joy and JJ were the last ones to sleep because they uploaded the videos of incidents that took place in just one day, There was a total of 3 videos they posted. One was when Tiara and Vin came back with the parents, the Second was when they all were out to come in the same room as Velvet Brothers and the third was when Joy complained about not having food and all their tries to get any help from outside but ended up waiting for 5 days.
It was hard for her to even sleep for a few minutes, whenever she fell asleep, fear took over her stopping her from taking any sleep. She sat on the floor and thought of doing something productive rather than trying again. She took out the scissor from her bag and started to peel the rest of the wooden rods again.
It was around 3:00 a.m. when she was done peeling all 9 wooden rods, 4 that they already had and 5 that she found in the current room. 'Ugh, We will have to take those 2 rods that we left outside of the room.' She slapped her head looking at the number of rods and the people in the room.
'But what will we do for 5 days? How are we going to survive?' She was lost in her thoughts and looked at the roof of the room leaning by the wall. 'Ah, We surely can't stay inside this room because there's no food or washroom to use.' She thought.
She was just zoned out that she didn't realize JJ woke from his sleep and was staring at her. He slowly crawled to Tiara without making any sound. He leaned his back on the wall and sat with her. He looked at her for a few minutes as if he was trying to remember her every feature but then Tiara's eyes fell on him with a questionable and startled look.
"Uhh… What you thinking?" JJ tried his best to ask her in good English. "So, You can speak English after all." She looked at him by the side of her eyes with a weak smile. "Little little." He answered her. "Hmm." She turned her gaze back to the roof and hummed.
"Sleep." He again disturbed her and pulled her back to reality. "I can't." Tiara replied to him shortly. "Why?" He was keeping his sentences short. "Uhm, I- I don't know. I think I am just worried about what will happen now or what should we do." She let out a long breath out of her lips. "Huh?" He didn't quite understand what she meant, She smiled and internally giggled knowing that he didn't understand what she said. "I said I'm thinking about what should we do tomorrow." She said slowly letting him process every word carefully, His lips parted and he nodded slightly.
"You need sleep for energy to fight!" JJ said with care and worry in his voice. "Wow, You got me with your English this time." She praised him. "Thank you." He smiled brightly showing all his teeth and his eyes formed a rainbow shape, she couldn't stop herself from smiling after seeing him smiling like that. He looked beautifully cute at that moment.
"I will sleep, don't worry." She reassured him. 'It's not like I need sleep for 2-3 days as a fallen angel.' She thought and face palmed herself. 'But I love to sleep!!" She internally screamed. "Okay, Sleep fast." JJ said and went to sleep again. She didn't say anything and went to her thoughts again.
'A place where we can get everything… a safe place to sleep, food for at least 5 days, washroom and… clothes. I know I shouldn't be worried about clean clothes in this hard time but… ugh… I don't want to stay in these sweaty and bl**dy clothes… and maybe a helipad, if they are going to save us by a helicopter.' She wondered what will be the perfect place for them to stay.
She kept on thinking for a while and then. 'Ahh! Yes, A mall!' She got an idea. 'But.. Won't there be a lot of zombies? Because it's a public place after all.' She doubted her own idea. 'But then again, There won't be any safe place or a place where there will be no zombies.' She thought again.
She pulled her phone out of her pants pocket and started doing some research on the web.
She did some research for a while and then decided to sleep. It was 4:39 when she went to sleep and fell asleep after 10 minutes.
Time: 6:48 a.m.
The next day, Everyone was up and wondering what should they do now. They were taking glances at Tiara from time to time waiting for her to wake up while Vin was just staring at her peacefully sleeping. 'How can she be cute and dangerous at the same time?' He wondered and tilted his head a little right in admiration. 'I mean she did k*ll some of them yesterday but still managed to look like an angel, peacefully sleeping on the floor.' He smiled a little trying his best not to let everyone else know about his eye's pleasure.
"When she wakes up?" Jose asked while pointing to Tiara. "Ahm, We don't know." KR answered him hesitantly. "She sleep late after…4." JJ tried to stop them before they woke her up. "How do you know?" Vin confusingly asked him in Korean. "I-I saw her peeling those wooden rods and in a lot of tension." JJ replied to him in Korean as well. "But we should think of something, I need to use the washroom!" Sam scoffed at them and walk to sleeping beauty Tiara.
He touched her shoulders and shook her shoulder with the help of his index finger. "Ti-" He was going to call her out but stopped and looked at everyone else. "Why it's so hard to spell her name?" He complained in Korean to his friends less brothers more, his brothers looked at him with done expressions while JJ giggled remembering when he tried to spell her name yesterday. "Tiara!" Sam called out to her hesitatingly.
She slowly opened her eyes just to look at Sam's flawless white face. "What?" She asked him with irritation. "I- you… you." He lost his voice and brain cells after listening to her sleepy husky voice with hidden irritation. Even though, He didn't say anything but Tiara's eyes widened and she sat straightly. "Yeah, I woke up. Yes… yess." She was in a hurry and nervous that she just kept repeating 'yes' as if she was trying to tell herself that she woke up because she need to stay awake.
"What time is it?" Tiara didn't look at anyone and kept her head on the ground as she was trying to get her brain to work properly. "7" Vin replied her. 'Her voice is just attractive.' He thought while he stared at her and answered even everyone else was having the same thought after hearing her sleepy soft husky voice.
She stood up with Sam and yawned. "Okay." It was the only word that came out of her mouth. "Are you okay?" KR asked her because he could see that her mind was all over the place. She hummed and licked her lips which were dried after the longest night of her life which wasn't pleasurable at all still looking at the group with half-awake eyes.
She stretched her body making cracking sounds from each stretch, Everyone was looking at her like she was their leader and their instructor who will guide them through this hard time. She let another yawn out of her mouth after she was done with stretching. "Okay… So?..." She asked them with a fully awaken voice this time.
"Half of us need to use the washroom, We are thinking about what should we do now." Nolan told her. "I already have a plan. I have been thinking and planning it almost all night but-" Tiara stopped herself before letting another word out of her mouth. "But what?" Joy asked her in confusion. "Wow, I thought you all needed translation to understand." Tiara's mind diverted from the topic in her hands more like she tried to lighten the mood. "They can understand if you talk slowly and steadily without any translation. I do translation just so they don't get anything wrong." KR explained to her.
"I'm impressed." She complimented them smiling and raising her eyebrow giving a flirtatious look making TR-X a little blush including KR.
"What were you saying but?" Jose cut their small moment and dragged them to the main topic again. "Yeah… But we…uhmm… we need to get out of this building and go out." She hesitated a lot fearing that they will think she has gone crazy and won't agree to her plan. "What!?" Ezra yelled in confusion and horror.
