They were waiting for her to tell them about her sudden plan but she just stood there smirking at them like a devil who got a new soul to chase. "Just tell us already!' KR finally asked her as he couldn't take it anymore. "Aren't you all singers?" Tiara asked, still a smirk glued to her lips. "Yes?" Vin agreed but he was confused to think why she asked this question suddenly. "Then do your work." Tiara requested them politely. "What work are you talking about exactly?" Jose raised his brows at her as he asked. "Singer's work is to sing songs and you all are singers here. So, Do your work." She explained her request to others. "What?" Vin asked, shocked. "Why?" JJ threw another question. "But that will attract the zombies toward us." KR stated facts and wondered if she is in her right mind or not. "Exactly!" She said and let them know that it was exactly what she wanted.
"So, You are going to use us as bait and let them come to us." Jose asked her for clarification while others looked at her, pleading to say no. 'How he always manages to read me like an open diary. I think we are made for each other after all.' Tiara smiled at her own thought and scratched her upper lips by her thumb looking in every direction. "Yes." She slowly answered them. "No way!" KR didn't agree with her plan. "But why? It's a good plan. Some of you sing as loud as possible and the rest of us will take care of them." She argued with him. "It will be easier than finding them one by one." She added.
"Nooo…..' Joy said with a sigh. Tiara pouted and sat on the floor acting like a child who wants his mother to buy him a new toy. "Okay, then I am going to sit here like this while you go and handle them all. humph!" She shook her head while looking at the floor. "Ugh, okay." Jose agreed with her but others weren't happy with it. "Bu-" JJ was going to say something but Vin stopped him. "I agree." Vin said, taking a little glimpse of Jose. 'Huh! How can I not support her while he is supporting her!?' He was filled with envy, and jealousy. "geunyeoga malhago issgi ttaemun-e dangsin-eun dong-uihabnikka?" - 'are you agreeing because she is saying?' JJ asked him in a low voice. "hal su eobsnayo?" - 'Can't I?' Vin replied to him with a low voice as well. "naneun hangsang geunyeoleul jiwonhal geos-ilaneun geos-eul geunyeoga algileul balabnida" - 'I just want her to know that I will always support her.' He added and JJ sighed at his stupidity but his one part was saying to agree with her for the same reason as well but he shoved his thought away.
"Okay okay, Get up now." KR sighed and agreed with her after seeing her stubborn nature. She jumped up in joy and satisfaction. "Okay then sing with your highest voice." She said happily. "But what if they attack us while you are busy handling others?" KR questioned her. "Dude! Don't try to trick me. I have seen you guys perform. You can move your body perfectly even when you sing at the top of your lungs, just fight yourself if something like that happens." Tiara taunted him remembering their performance at the recent concert she attended. "You should sing as you are not even going to fight." Tiara looked at Joy who gulped down. "I'm... rapper." Joy said hesitatingly. "Then rap!" Tiara cheered him up by waving her hand in the air as if she was ready to vibe with his rap as soon as he starts. "Okay.." Joy said and started rapping with his highest voice.
As expected 2 hunters came running to them to become their prey instead. Tiara ran to one of them to hit it hard enough to let the rod go through its body while JJ ran to the other one. Another one came from the third direction and Vin decided to take care of this one. Tiara saw another one coming to her and she used her gun to shoot right into its heart as she had her rod inside the first one's body.
She heard Joy's scream which was expediently louder than his rap but she just ignored it as she thought that it was just the part of his rap or something but then she heard Jose's scream as well which made her turn her head toward them. They were looking up at the 3rd-floor edge, Tiara was confused about what they saw up there. She pulled the rod out of the dead body and walked to the edge to have a look at the thing they were scared of but she saw something falling upon them, growling before she could reach the edge.
Everyone was shocked that no one could move or scream as their voice was lost due to the shock and horror. It landed right onto Joy, Just an inch away to bite him, Tiara's heart was beating at 140 rating that wasn't allowing her to move even a bit let alone run to him. She pulled her gun aiming at the undead not even taking a second as one innocent life was depending on it and as the good angel she was, she wouldn't let an innocent soul get hurt. She shot right into its head just when it was about to dig its teeth into Joy's cheeks.
It screamed before falling on the ground lifelessly letting Joy take breaths which he was holding since he saw his unwanted guest. Everyone ran to Joy to see if he was okay while Tiara leaned edge's railing and took a breath of relief letting her mind and heart rest allowing them to go to peace again. She didn't look at them as they were checking on Joy who was scared but was okay enough to talk to others. "Hey, Miss Zombie!" KR called out to her with a new name for her. She ignored it as she thought it wasn't meant for her but then she wondered if there is another 'miss' among them. "Yah! I am talking to you." KR yelled at her, She looked in his direction and pointed her index finger toward her, and mouthed. 'Me?' She was shocked to get another weird name after the kissing matter.
"Of course, you." KR said sarcastically. "Why are you calling me by that name?" Tiara asked him with a soft loud voice. "Do you want me to call you by your name in front of the camera?" KR said and pointed to the phone which was still in Joy's grip. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Why this name?" She asked him curiously. "Because it suits you." He answered her. "How exactly? I am not a zombie nor do I have their abilities." She shrugged her shoulders. "Yeah, But you are the one who keeps saving us all from them." Jose said before KR could answer her. "Then why not 'my savior' or something like that?" She said with a bit of teasing and flirting tone, Vin puffed his cheeks and pouted, JJ's eyebrows knitted, and KR raised his both eyebrows in shock after hearing her words while Jose smirked, impressed by her smooth comeback.
"Please, take gun from her." Joy broke the tension in the air. "Wh-what did you say?" Tiara asked him to repeat to clarify if what she heard was right. "Yeah, That's what I was saying." KR jumped to their sudden conversation. "What? Why?" Tiara slipped the pistol into her back pocket and walked towards them. "Because you can't shoot like that. What if you missed your aim and it hit Joy?" KR explained the reason behind their thought of taking the gun away from her. "But it didn't, right?" She started to argue with him and tilted her head upper to look directly into his hooded eyes. "Plus, He is safe because I used the gun and shot on time." Tiara added and explained her side. "But what if… it hit him?" Vin didn't take her side this time as it was a matter of his elder friend-like brother's life. "But it didn't." She argued back and stood still on her point. "What if?" JJ stepped forward toward her coming close to her and she took a step back to maintain a distance between them.
"Hey, Come on, guys! Chill." Jose jumped between Tiara and JJ to cover Tiara from them. "She had good intentions and I know her aim as good as a professional snipper. She saved JJ, Joy, and my life by using the gun and her talent at aiming things. You should trust her. " He stood still in front of her while arguing with others on her behalf while Tiara peeked at them from behind Jose with a not-so-happy look. 'Should I hold his arm? He won't mind, right?' She wondered and unconsciously held his arm before she knew it, She tightened the grip a little once she realized that she was holding his arms by her little palms and he didn't stop her, gave her glares, or reacted in any way of uncomfortableness.
Her eyes were fixed on him and a little smile on her lips indicated that she was happy about him standing by her side and taking a stand for her. Vin was glaring at her hand which was holding Jose's arms as if he wanted to dig holes there but he was hurt, hurt that he wasn't the one she had a grip on, he wasn't the one standing close to her, he wasn't the one to whom she looked with such affection in her eyes but he had no one to blame for as he, himself was standing against her a few seconds ago. As for JJ, He felt confused about his feelings and couldn't get what was the unease feelings inside him. KR didn't notice anything as he was focused on deciding what to do.
Soon, They agreed with Jose and let Tiara keep the gun with her but with some warning that she shouldn't shoot like that if there's someone very near to the aiming place. She agreed and moved to the third floor to send the rest of the unwanted guests to heaven or hell. This time JJ and Vin started to sing while dancing roughly, letting out their frustration through it while Tiara kept an eye on everywhere and got rid of them while KR counted how many of those undead they had taken care of. They got rid of 22 zombies in total soon enough but they were drenched in blood all over again.
Tiara sighed and threw herself on the floor again spreading her both legs on the floor and sighed. "I don't wanna take the shower again. I am too tired for that." Tiara complained like a kid. "But you need to…" JJ told her. "Help me." Tiara said unconsciously making everyone's jaw drop and taking it the wrong unholy way. Tiara thought again about what she just said and rose her head to look at the other, shocked at her own words. "No no. I didn't mean it like that!" Tiara shook her hand and head vibrantly. "I meant… Help me as in.. getting clothes and getting back down there…." Tiara said instantly and then thinking if it made sense or not but she face palmed herself. 'They aren't going to pick me in bridal style and take me to the washroom for sure. Ugh! Think before you speak!' She cursed her big mouth that open itself before her brain could function.
She stood up quickly and went past everyone. "Let's go. We pick clothes from the 2nd floor and take a quick shower afterward." She said and fastened her legs to walk away from them and the embarrassment.
She jumped on the stairs to skip them and reach the 2nd floor in a hurry. She was moving to the female clothing section but she turned around to face the men walking behind her. "Wait, Does it mean I am going alone to take the clothes from the female section?" She asked them innocently but they started to look at each other to think about what should they do. "I will go… with you." Vin stepped forward to go with her. "hyeong, nado os jom chaeng-gyeojuseyo." - 'Brother, please bring some clothes for me too.' He turned his head to KR and Joy before walking to her.
Everyone was staring at Vin without saying anything. 'Thank god, I stopped recording or else I had to do editing again which is a huge struggle.' Joy thought and sighed at Vin's action.
Vin came to Tiara and waited for her to move inside the section but she just looked at him, shocked. "Come." He waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Yeah yeah… Let's go." Tiara said and nodded her head before turning toward the section again she glanced at Jose who was standing and confusingly looking at Vin like others.
She walked into the female clothing section and looked around to find something suitable. Vin was walking behind her looking around as well. "Tiara." Vin called out to Tiara and pointed toward a cute blue crop top with butterfly sleeves. "Do you want to dress me up?" Tiara asked him, cutely as she was grateful that he didn't let her go alone which left Vin speechless. "You can choose clothes for me if you want. I will wear whatever you choose." Tiara said not letting him take her wrong. "Really?" Vin was shocked upon hearing her statement. 'Does she trust me that much?' He thought. 'It's not like he is going to choose any inappropriate clothes.' She internally rolled her eyes. "It's okay if you don't want to. I just thought that you came here with me so…" Tiara continued after he asked her if she was sure. "No, I want to." Vin stopped her to change her mind and ran away from her to look for clothes.
'I will impress her by finding good clothes for her.' He aimed to impress her with his styling sense while running. 'First, Look for comfortable clothes, Second, Something catchy. Third, She likes shorts.' He mentally prepared a list of what he should look for in a cloth for her while Tiara tried to follow him to make sure he is not in any danger.
Within 10 minutes, He found a loose brown sleeveless crop top and middle-length white shorts. After choosing and grabbing them, He ran to Tiara who was only a few steps away from him, She smiled at him because she saw he was very excited to choose clothes for her like a child. He shoved the clothes toward her showing what he picked for her with a huge smile plastered on his face. She smiled and took the clothes from his grip. "Thank you. These look pretty and comfortable." She thanked him giving him a reason to keep smiling.
That was the moment Tiara looked at his facial features carefully. He had doe double-lid dark brown eyes, a cute small but pointed nose, thin yet perfectly shaped natural peach pink lips, a mole on his cheek near his eye and another near his lower lips giving his beauty a final touch and a flawless lightest ivory skin. 'Of course, He didn't win that most handsome man just like that.' She adored his beauty which could pull any look from a two-goody show to badass mafia ever or even a vampire with that kind of skin tone with the help of makeup.
"Hey, Tiara?" Vin snapped his fingers in front of Tiara's eyes. "Huh?" She came out of her thoughts. "Let's go." He said showing his brightest smile not letting her feel like she was staring at him for 5 whole minutes, he gladly let her stare at him because he was doing the same but she didn't realize she was looking at him for that long as well. "Yeah, Let's go." She agreed and came out of the female section just to find the others waiting for them already.
Tiara took a quick shower after coming down and changed into the clothes Vin picked for her. They all go back to the guard's room to relax, They started to talk about random things about their singing career letting Tiara feel alone but Tiara didn't care as she could sleep peacefully now and comfortable clothes were best to sleep in. She fell asleep just after 5 minutes she laid down on the mat which was available in the room but she woke up after an hour suddenly remembering something. She gulped down at her thought and ran to her bag and pulled out her phone and charger. 'God, I am sure Mom is worried about me if she heard about this news already.' She thought and plugged her phone into the charger. 'Wait, What if she got to know the whole truth… even about the kiss incident… She is going to kill me if she has heard about it.' Her heart dropped because of fear of her mother and her taunts.
'But still… I should call her to let her know that I am safe.' Tiara sighed and she decided to call her mother and deal with what had to come. 'Why me!' Her facial expression turned to a crying one and yet again she cursed herself for making such dumb decisions of her life.
