The girl's eyebrows furrowed as she was hearing not an ordinary conversation, but an argument. She opened the door carefully, trying not to make any noise.

When she completely opened the door, it was the same time Gwinam sliced the neck of the principal. The girl winced, not expecting the scene that unfolded right in front of her.

Cheongsan, on the other hand, was holding a phone and was taunting the other guy.

Nabi shook her head. Her stupid friend will only anger Gwinam more. Gwinam was about to charge at Cheongsan when the girl clapped slowly.

What a save.

"Such a show! What are you now, Gwinam? Upgrading from being a bully to a killer?" Nabi's voice was laced with sarcasm. She wasn't surprised her old friend was able to do something horrifying like this.

She lost hope in him a few months ago.

The two boys' eyes widened, surprised with Nabi's presence. Gwinam was about to go near her, relieved to see the girl but she only raised her eyebrow at him and left the room without a word.

Cheongsan followed the girl immediately, not wanting to lose sight of her again.

"You should go back and come with us, Nabi! It's safer," the boy said holding the girl's arm, pleading.

"No need, San. These creatures won't hurt me anymore, but they'll chase after you." The girl said, grabbing the phone from Cheongsan.

Though his heart fluttered when the girl used his childhood nickname once again, he was confused on why the girl took the phone from him.

Nabi, upon noticing his reaction, immediately explained. "I'll keep this safe, you should go now, Gwinam will run after you anytime soon." She warned, hearing the shuffling sound from inside the office.

"Oh, and meet me guys at the rooftop before sunset."

With that, they parted ways as Cheongsan started running away and Nabi heading upstairs towards the rooftop.

The girl's stomach once again grumbled and she groaned as she entered the rooftop, opening the bag of chips she got from the music room.

She rolled her eyes at the scene. Why does everytime she enters a room, someone else inside is fighting each other?

She recognized the two as the students she "saved" earlier from Gwinam. She only looked at them, while the two stood there quietly, embarrassed that the girl had to witness that.

"What? Continue your argument, I'll just sit here and chill."

Nabi found a nice spot and sat down. It was perfect as the spot wasn't that hot.

"S-Song Nabi, right? I just wanted to say thank you..." The girl with long hair and bangs approached Nabi.

Nabi opened her eyes and gave her a small smile.

"I'm Eunji," Eunji offered her hand for a handshake. Nabi gladly shook her hand and was about to close her eyes when she heard a sound of a helicopter not too far away.

'Wow, finally, I guess. But who am I kidding? I'm already a zombie.' Nabi thought to herself.

"Hyosan High students? Are you guys the only survivors?" The man from the helicopter said as the vehicle landed. The two students turned to Nabi who was only watching them from afar.
