THIRD PERSON

Still convincing the girl to leave the room, Cheongsan was already beyond frustrated.

He kept on glancing at Onjo and the windows as he saw how the zombies were trying hard to break in.

"Onjo, let's go. Nabi and the others are waiting for us at the broadcasting room..." Cheongsan softly said, holding the girl's arms.

Onjo was still grieving for the loss of a friend. She can't believe I-sak was gone that fast because of this shitty zombie virus outbreak.

She could clearly remember the girl saying that she should shoot her shot because they only live once, and now she's gone.

"I don't want to go, you can leave now." She said, face void with emotion.

"I don't have any reason to live now." She added and was about to go back to the desk when the boy pulled her arm.

"What? No! We have to survive together, Nabi would also kill me—" He was cut off by the call of their friend who got in the broadcasting room first.

"Cheongsan, Onjo? What are you guys waiting for?!"

It was their friend. The friend who's waiting for them at the broadcasting room.

The boy glanced at Onjo to see her reaction but the girl's face remained emotionless. It was like her soul got sucked in by some monster.

He sighed. He has to convince Onjo to leave, they have to be complete until help arrives.

"Hear that? Nabi is waiting for us, let's go."

It took a while before the girl moved but finally, he got the girl to use the white hose and climb down to the broadcasting room.

Nabi welcomed Onjo with open arms. She knows what her friend is feeling right now, which made her worry about the girl even more.

Ms. Park also checked Onjo for bruises and when she saw that the girl was fine, she let her go to stand with the rest of them.

"Where's Cheongsan?" Ms. Park asked the students.

Nabi looked at the others but it was obvious they didn't have an answer. Even Onjo.

She sighed and was about to walk towards the window when a couple of zombies fell down from above.

What the —

Nabi frozed in realization. There is no way.

While the others were in the state of shock at the broadcasting room thinking that Cheongsan might've fallen off the hose earlier, the boy was still holding on for his dear life, fortunately.

"Hey, she got your foot!"

"I know!"

"Kick the zombie!" Suhyeok, who was standing in the small sides of the building, yelled.

He was getting anxious and frustrated for his friend.

"I'm trying okay!" The other said, kicking the zombie harder.
