Ha Jinan's heart was pounding. He seems to have a taste for Kino. With Kino sitting next to him, making himself even more misbehaved.
“A..I–ini..” Ha Jinan gave a bottle containing tea to Kino.
“Ah, it's okay. I'm not thirsty. Besides, the number is a little. Better this for Jinan-san” Kino to smile
As if there was smoke coming out from Ha Jinan's face, he immediately bowed in embarrassment. Ryou and Kaito glanced at each other and whispered.
“That girl..”.
“Liking your sister”
“I know. We pretend not to know”
“I think it's better”
Kino started the conversation. He was trying to dig up information at this moment.
“Garam-san, Yuram-san, Jinan-san..we want to know what happened to this place and.about Kim Eunji”.
His expression immediately changed. Hearing Kino ask such a thing, Ha Jinan became moody.
“We are trying to find out about the details of this horror event and about the manufacturer's profile. In addition, we also want to know why Park Cho Joon-san became so angry before”
Seo Salt and Kim Yuram look at each other. They know the reason behind it all. It was all because Eunji was coming with Ha Jinan when she was determined to go out to look for food supplies.
Salt hesitated to say it.
“Itu–”
“It happened because it was my fault” Ha Jinan said it
The two brothers look surprised, while Kaito chooses to keep an eye on Park Cho Joon. There's a reason for all of that.
‘The man..keep looking at us. I think he still holds a grudge against me. But the look in his eyes was, like the person trying to do something’ Kaito thought suspiciously
That's not wrong, Park Cho Joon did notice the six people. More precisely, he had been watching them ever since Kaito and the two sisters joined Seo Garam and the others.
‘The stranger dared insult me!’ he murmured in the heart
[If your mouth can do more than I did a while ago, you better prove it to me. Prove that you're more useful than a stranger with an illegal weapon like me]
Kaito's words kept pissing him off. He seems to really hate her. Moreover, he also looked towards Kino who was the first to humiliate him.
‘The weak stranger also dared to make my face and self-esteem fall!’
And the peak of his hatred remained fixed on the girl he had almost killed, Ha Jinan.
‘Because Jinan, Eunji must die. I will never forgive that weak girl!’
Accidentally, Park Cho Joon's eyes met with Kaito's cold gaze which made him turn his face to avoid being caught staring at them all with anger.
Kaito had thought that maybe he should watch over the man more closely.
‘His first impression of me was hostility. He would never consider me as his partner at any time. It would be better to watch him’
Meanwhile, Ha Jinan held back her tears to tell a story.
“This is because..aku ..I tried to find food so we wouldn't starve. I. I feel at least we should get something. So...”
Kino began to look towards the kitchen of the canteen. Although from a distance, but he could see some cooking utensils and storage cabinets.
“What in this place does not have food that can be directly consumed until it must make you look for food outside the canteen?” ask Kino
“There are 8 faculty buildings at this university with a total of 15 majors in it. Each building has 3 canteens opened at 10.00 am because new fresh food will arrive around 08.00 in the morning”
“.....” the three teenagers were shocked
Without having to bother asking questions, they have obtained the first important information about the number of buildings on campus.
‘There are 8 buildings said. That means, the number of people in this place can be ascertained very much. At least 20,000 or even more students including staff’ in Ryou's heart
‘This is not good! [Event Horror Apps] has been accessed by many students in this place! That means, there are so many students out there who may have become zombies and we also don't know how many more people can survive!’ Kino was starting to panic
He tried to calm down and asked the three students something else.
“If all the ingredients for each new canteen come at 08.00 am, meaning there is no finished food or groceries in this place before that hour?”
“True. There was only a small amount of canned food and bottled water. But because the amount is not enough, so Ha Jinan initially thought to look for supplies in this building minimarket. The place was on the second and third floors of each faculty” building Kim Yuram glanced towards Ha Jinan
Quite unique. In addition to the canteen, the campus building has a minimarket on several floors. Kino and Ryou were quite surprised to hear that.
Without the need to continue, the two brothers were able to conclude something.
‘Ha Jinan seems to be forcing away, if I see from his face. And Kim Eunji may have followed suit. It seems like since they were both gone and no one wanted to accompany them, they were forced to bet their lives for the sake of these foods’ Ryou thought
‘When Jinan-san and Eunji-san went to fetch groceries in the midst of difficult conditions, they had to meet with those zombies and. Eunji-san was hit by an attack and eventually became a zombie’ Kino began to draw conclusions of hers
Both thought the right thing. In the end, it was Ha Jinan who did the desperate that brought them in danger and fell victim. But, thanks to that action they were able to survive with the water and snacks it brought.
However, just a few snacks will not make them last.
Kino looked around the room and counted the number of people in the canteen.
“1,2,3.total all including the three of us who just arrived there are 11 people. With this small meal, it is impossible to survive” he murmured
There was Ha Jinan's crying voice.
“Hiks..if I don't have a desperate mind, maybe this won't happen to Kim Eunji. Hiks...all this is my fault..”.
“Yes, all of this was you” a sarcastic remark came out of Ryou's mouth
Everyone is shocked. Kaito who still has not taken his eyes off Park Cho Joon, for a few seconds glanced at the person beside him and covered his own face with one hand while commenting inwardly.
‘I can't believe he can say like that in front of his person directly’
You can guess who the pungent commenter is. Of course Ryou.
“Ryou!” Kino was panicking
“What do you mean say that?! You didn't think about Jinan's feelings huh?! How dare he blame her like that!” Kim Yuram immediately snapped at him
“Why? He admitted it too, right? I'm just saying the truth. He did it so it was him. But, when did I say I blame her!”
“So you said that this was all her work. That means you blame him!”
“You're the same as the strong-ass guy over there. I asked you, when do I blame him? When did I say that it was all the wrong girl named Ha Jinan?”
“You just–”
“Oi, if you don't understand the language I speak, you better learn first” Ryou speaks in a mocking tone
“What you said!!” Kim Yuram was already very upset
But, it is surprising that the defense came from Seo Salt.
“Kim Yuram, Yuki Ryou.no, I mean Ryou does not blame Ha Jinan! He just meant to say that it was his doing”
“You defended him?!”
“I just don't want you to misunderstand” Seo Salt tries to calm Kim Yuram
Kino and Kaito had seen Seo Garam with a strange look.
‘He defends Ryou?’ kaito thought he didn't believe it
‘There is a defending...Ryo's spicy pronunciation? This is the first time that happened’ and the brother is also no less surprised
There's a defense, not that Ryou can't handle it by himself. From the beginning he was just trying to justify Ha Jinan's words, but the way he was delivered was wrong.
“Ah~alah. I just wanted to say it was her, but it wasn't her fault. Think that he is not determined to go out and look for this food, you guys probably won't eat all of this” Ryou said casually
“....” Kim Yuram is speechless
He regained his composure and looked at Ryou with a cynical look. Ryou does not like to make a fuss with women so he chooses not to say anything and whispers to Kino.
“We have to do something. Find information about the crazy app maker it”
“I understand. I'll try”
Kino looked at Ha Jinan to give him a little entertainment.
“Don't cry like that. No one blames you, Jinan-san. Even though Park Cho Joon-san did a cruel act to you a while ago, but I'm sure everyone thanks you”
“.....” Ha Jinan feels very calm hearing it
Kim Yuram tried to calm himself down with a long sigh, while Seo Salt chose not to say anything.
Kino started asking them back.
“Sorry, earlier you said that the strange application was made by students who are your seniors. Can you tell me a little about the three founders of the [Event Horror Apps] app?”
Seo Garam pulled out her phone back and showed a photo to Kino.
“This is our photo during the event ‘wearing the bloody constant and following the banquet of the witches’ a week ago. It's a dinner contest in a ghost costume”
Kaito let go of his vigilance towards Park Cho Joon for a moment to see the photo on the screen of Salt's phone.
“The one in the middle is Jung Leon-sunbae, then on the left is Lee Seung Chan-sunbae and this short-haired beautiful woman Song Haneul-sunbae”
“Wow, this woman named Song Haneul is quite beautiful” Ryou praised
“Huh! Now tempted on sunbae-nim, basic shameless!” Kim Yuram criticizes Ryou
“I don't need your opinion. You better not talk to me or you'll cry later”
“Sucks!”
It seems Kim Yuram has a bad impression on Ryou.
Ryou said a reply without seeing Yuram's face in the slightest. The focus is on the photo on the phone screen. You could say he is in serious mode.
“Two of you, do not forget to memorize the face along with its features” whispered Kaito
“I know, Kaito-san. Ryou, remember?”
“Have” Ryou replied in a whisper
“It was a gift sharing photo from the makers of [Event Horror Apps]. The event lasted for three days and indeed every prize distribution, the three sunbae-nim will come to give the prize to the winner” explained Seo Garam
Kaito begins to notice a tall and white man named Jung Leon.
‘Gift to the winner of this event is a special item from Jung Leon. I'm sure my memory gem is on him. But, in this photo there is no purple gem’ he said in heart
It turned out that it was not only Kaito who thought so. The two brothers also focused more on Jung Leon.
“Kino, where is the picture of the purple gem? Is it not here?” whispered Ryou
“I'm sure it's small, Ryou. So it's invisible. It might not be in this photo”
Kino zooms in on Lee Seung Chan's face and asks Seo Salt while showing him the picture.
“Garam-san, this is Lee Seung Chan-san?”
“Ah, correct. This tall, glasses guy is Seung Chan-sunbae”
“Isn't in the information about this event, the first zombie is him? Where is he now?” Ryou asked seriously
Hearing the question, the three students instantly turned pale. Some of the people who heard that also looked at the six people.
“Dia..dia..”.
“Sunbae-nim becomes a zombie outside" explains Ha Jinan
“That's when you met him?”
“We didn't meet him but we did. And the person infected by Lee Seung Chan-sunbae is Jung Leon-sunbae”
