She was waiting for her phone to switch on impatiently but it was taking some time due to the battery running out of charge. As soon as the display screen came on the phone's screen, Tiara gasped after seeing lots of messages and calls from her all relatives but she ignored every one of them and called her mother directly. "Who are you calling being this much anxious." Kr asked her after he noticed her being anxious. "Boyfriend?" JJ asked her curiously. "No, My mother." Tiara replied to them shortly as she waited for her mother to pick up the call.
Her mother picked up the call and Tiara took a deep breath as soon as she heard her mother's voice. "Hello? Are you okay?" Her mother's voice came through the phone. "Yeah, Mom. I am fine." Tiara started to talk in her mother language which made everyone confused as they were trying to listen to their conversation but it was of no use. 'I can feel how she must have felt when she saw us talking in Korean.' KR thought and felt bad for Tiara. "Mom! Why are you crying!?" Tiara asked her mother worriedly as she heard her sobs. "I want to see you." The old lady said between her sobs. "Mom, There's no need to cry. You can video call me if you want to see me." Tiara said and cut the call to start a video call.
Her mother picked up the call with just one beep. Tiara smiled after looking at her mother and brother through the call, trying to reassure them that everything is fine. "Did you eat?" The mother asked because a mother worries about their children every time. Tiara nodded. "We are at the mall. So, There's no shortage of food, clothes, or anything." She informed her mother. "Stay away from those boys around you!" Aarav, Her brother told her. "Shut up!" Tiara quickly stopped him. "Why are you shutting him up, huh? Just stay away from those boys! Don't think I didn't see anything." Her mother scolded her.
'Aah, Here starts the lecture.' Tiara thought and put a straight face and stood there like a statue letting her mother continue with her lecture. "How can you do it!? Do you know what your aunt was saying? Or what will other people think?" The old lady's voice started to break as she started crying. "But come home safely. Aarav showed me the videos of you fighting with those zombies just a few hours ago. We will talk about what you did before this incident afterward when you come here. I just want you safe, Tia… What will I do if something happens to you there? I-I" Just like that her mother burst out in tears making it impossible to say anything.
"Just come home safely and thanks to that TR-X we could know that you are safe or else mom was going crazy… she kept crying since we got to know about the zombie thing. I know I said I… don't want a sister like you many times but…" Her brother started to sob as well. "But I need you… with whom I will fight, huh?" He took a deep breath before continuing. "To whom I will compete? I only have one sister, Tiara. Don't disappoint me by not coming back home safely." His eyes became red as he tried not to cry in front of her. "I… I love you, sister. Yo-" He couldn't hold it anymore and started crying and sobbing louder than their mother. Tiara gave a sad smile with teary eyes, red nose, and ear, sniffing quietly, and her throat became dry.
"Aaah!! Don't cry. You are going to make me cry too. I will be there in no time." She tried to reassure them with her broken voice but ended up sobbing even more still, there was still a smile on her lips but her eyes were telling that she was hurt, she was broken from the inside after doing one of the biggest sins which was taking lives. "You better!" Her mother yelled at her pushing her to do what she said. "I will." She said biting her lower lips not letting a single sob out of her mouth.
"Don't cry. They are acting because they want you home so they can yell and scold you about the stunt you pulled." Her father came from behind and said to Tiara. Tiara laughed sadly letting tears roll down from her teary eyes. "I know, I know, Dad." She started nodding vibrantly like a child would nod when they are offered a candy they were crying for. She rubbed her eye with one hand and let out a sad broken giggle. "I think I should hang up now. I will keep calling you." Tiara closed her eyes not wanting to see her mother and brother cry and hung up.
She took a long deep breath to control her emotions and tears as soon as she hung up and tilted her head up to observe the colorless watery blood back to where they came from. "Hey… D-" Vin was coming to take her in his embrace to comfort her but. "Don't. I just want to sleep now." She stopped him and shoved her straight palm in front of him. She didn't see him or anyone else trying to hide her weak state and lay down to go back to sleep.
"Do you think she is okay?" Vin asked Sam in their mother language. "I think. She just got emotional after talking to her family, It's normal." Sam explained to him and stopped him from worrying. "Yes, Give her some time and space. She will be good again." KR jumped into their conversation. "Why is she sleeping at this time anyways?" Joy joined their conversation as well. "Because she couldn't sleep last night." JJ answered him and joined them as well. All of them looked at Tiara's sleeping figure which was showing her every curve perfectly, She looked like an innocent baby with sexy curves a deadly mixture of a demon's hotness and an angel's cuteness.
"Who can say that this innocent-looking girl can be brave enough to fight with zombies." JJ said still looking at her figure and smiled unconsciously. "She is brave, indeed." KR complimented her and smiled as well. "Don't you like her, Vin?" Sam ignored the others and asked Vin about his feelings toward her as he has shown interest in her from the start. "Uhm… No, I just want to know her better." Vin answered him quickly in a subtle way. "Ahh, I thought you liked her." JJ said with happiness hidden in his voice as if a burden had dropped from his shoulder.
"Her nose is still red, Bro." Jose told his brothers while pointing to her face. "It will be okay. Let her rest." Ezra calmed down Jose. "Yeah, I know but I am wondering what they talked about that made her cry." Jose told his worries accepting that he doesn't know her mother language. "I have some idea. I know a little Hindi to get some idea what the conversation was about." Nolan said attracting everyone's attention toward him. "Yes, Your wife is an Indian model, right?" KR jumped into their conversation as well because he was fluent in both languages.
"Yes." Nolan nodded. "Wow, I didn't know she was an Indian." Jose was shocked by the new piece of information. "Then what they talked about?" Ian asked Nolan to continue and tell the reason behind her tears. "They were just worried about her and wanted her to come back home safely." Nolan explained shortly. "And make sure you don't post something weird or anything." He pointed his finger at Joy which got him off guard.
"Why?" Joy asked. "Of course, Why will he post anything weird or wrong about her." KR dodged and made it clear. "Yeah, Her family seemed strict and they are watching the videos that you are posting as well. That's why I said." Nolan explained to everyone and TR-X were thinking if they posted anything weird or something they shouldn't have but there wasn't a point in thinking as the videos were already gone viral. "We will not post anything wrong." Vin waved his hands in denial.
Everyone relaxed and took as much as rest they wanted inside the guard's room. Luckily the room was big enough to let everyone lie down with a little adjustment. Joy and JJ decided to post today's incidents videos but KR snatched Joy's phone and took a look at the videos if there was anything wrong that Tiara's family wouldn't like by skipping through the scenes to take less time. He gave the phone back to Joy and let him do his work. "We could look too." Joy complained about KR to JJ. He just grinned as he knew KR is just doing his work as a leader.
They posted the videos one by one and the videos instantly hit around 10 crores views just a minute after the videos were posted. It was their first time to get these many views within a minute as well which got them thinking if the people out there had anything to do or not. They ignored it and went to take a nap like everyone else as well.
Time: 7:18 p.m.
"Wake her up. She should have dinner now." Mrs. Kim asked her son, Sam to wake her up. "You can wake her up as well." Sam said sarcastically being lazy. "But she doesn't understand Korean and I don't know English." Mrs. Kim told him her reason for hesitating to wake her up. "Yahh, As if I know English?" Sam was shocked to see that his mother thinks he was fluent in English. "I know you are not…talented but you can talk a little at least." Mrs. Kim said with a soft voice, a little teasing hidden. 'Should I take it as a compliment or not? It sounded like an insult…' He wondered. 'I am going to take it as a compliment.' He decided it himself. "Okay…" He replied to his mother and walked to Tiara.
"Tiara…" He was going to touch her shoulder to shake her but she opened her eyes and turned her head towards him. "You are up… already." Sam accused her of acting to sleep. "No, I was sleeping but you called me." Tiara said while sitting straight. "Just..name.." Sam said surprised as he never met someone with light sleep before. "Yeah… I wake up the moment someone calls my name." Tiara said with a cold empty voice. "Why you woke me up? What time is it?" Tiara asked him stretching her body. "It's 7:27." Ezra told her the time. "Have dinner." Sam answered her first question shortly before moving toward his mother. "Ohh... Thank you so much." She thanked Mrs. Kim because she gave her a bowl of rice and curry.
"Why anyone else isn't eating?" Tiara asked as she shoved the first spoon of rice into her mouth. "Everyone already ate." Jose informed her. "Rude, You all ate without me." She pouted and made a hurt face as if she was hurt by being left out and everyone smiled at her cuteness and pouted face.
Most of them went to sleep, the rest were talking to each other, and Tiara started to read news about the zombie apocalypses. Most of them were talking about the famous bands stuck in the situation, the videos posted by TR-X, and how Aglos's scientists did stupidity searching the long-lost virus all over again but then she caught someone different about which she had no idea of.
'All the countries agreed to plant the blasts in Aglos to get rid of zombies to stop them from coming to other countries as soon as possible.' This news got her off guard. 'But we are still here! How can they think to blast the whole country just like that while there still can be people out there!' She cursed the governments and the system in her thoughts and fear that they are planning to do blasts before they get out of there or after.
Meanwhile, Joy was checking the comments on the video he uploaded yesterday with JJ after he uploaded today's incidents. Most of them were praising them for their bravery, half of them were crying as usual, and some of them were talking about the small girl between them. 'She is scary!' 'She is killing all of them like it's a piece of cake for her!' 'I wouldn't be surprised if she is the devil herself.' 'She got no emotions.' 'Damn! She is emotionless.' 'She is so cruel but comes in handy in situations like this.' 'Don't she cry after killing all of them just like that?' 'She is looking like a knight in shining armor but a girl.' 'Dude! Don't tell me she used to kill for fun before.' 'Is she mafia or something?'
Joy sighed after reading the comments and looked at her. 'I can only imagine the pain she is holding inside her small body.' He thought and looked at her who was glaring at her phone.
'I don't think they are going to blast the country while the best two bands are here… right?' Her mind was struggling to process the news and figure out what they are thinking to do but after struggling a lot, she decided to discuss this news with the people who were still awake.
"Do you know that they are going to do blasts in this whole country?" Tiara asked looking at the group of people which had KR, Ezra, JJ, and Joy. "No… Are they?" Ezra said casually making it look like it didn't bother him. "Yeah, How can you be so calm about it? We are in this country as well!" Tiara tried not to yell at him but her voice came out a bit louder than casual. "You all seem calm!" Tiara noticed that they were normal and not freaking out like she was.
"Relax, First of all… We didn't know they are going to plant the bombs here but I know they will do it after we get out of here." KR tried to calm her down. "But… they said they are going to blast as soon as possible and the helicopters are supposed to get here after 5 days." Tiara was worried that they are going to plant bombs while they are still in the country, freaking out about their lives. "No, They are going to pick us up after 3 days." Ezra calmed her down but ended up getting a curious face from her. "But you said, they are going to come after 5 days." Tiara thought that they were lying to calm her down.
"No, Korea's president called me to let me know that they have changed their decision." KR informed her about the call he attended when she was gone to take the gloves. "We will wait for.. 3 days." Joy told her about the new time to get out of there. "But still... Don't you think 3 days are long when they said 'as soon as possible' in the news?" Tiara was scared and repeated the words she read in the news. How could she stop herself from freaking out when they struggled a lot to keep themselves alive just to die in a blast done by other countries, It didn't sound fair to her.
"Call the president and talk to him right now!!" Tiara yelled at him, furious about the situation. "B-But it's 9 in the night now." KR said hesitatingly, hiding his phone in his pants pocket which didn't go unnoticeable to Tiara and made her even more furious.
