Kaito approached Ryou who was looking out the window.
“A dead?” ask Kaito
“That's. We see after this he'll be a zombie what” is like
Some of the students who helped Ryou earlier approached him with tears.
“Thank you..thank you for helping us from the threat of sunbae..hiks...thank you”.
Ryou and Kaito just look at them. Not long after, Ryou saw the older brother just bowed motionless.
“...Ki..no...”.
Along with that slow mutter, Ryou walked over to the older brother. Initially, no one opened the chat at all. Kino ignores Ryou and goes to help Ha Jinan and Kim Yuram feed the other students.
“.....” Ryou just fell silent without saying anything
Kang Ji Song who had just thrown a knife towards one of Baek Hyeseon's friends looked so upset along with her tears flowing down.
Seo Salt also could not hold back her emotions.
“It is enough with Park Cho Joon, now Baek Hyeseon also does something like this..Why is not one of the two fools thinking to stop this event?”
Ha Jinan hesitated a bit but she ventured to approach Seo Salt and bring him a drink.
“Seo Salt...are you okay?”
“You don't have to do it, Jinan. I have no interest in drinking anything. I'm sick of all this. Go Yu Bin is dead..before we reach”.
“It wasn't your fault, Salt. We ourselves also cannot possibly save everyone”
Ha Jinan is right. Indeed, in reality, none of them could save everyone in this condition.
Kaito walked up to the six students who were friends of Baek Hyeseon. With the wounds on their hands that continued to bleed, Kaito did not think of saving her either.
“So, maybe any of you want to catch up with your friend?” kaito asked coldly with a sword in his hand
“We...we don't want to die!”
“Our cup!”
“Don't kill us! We...we promise not to do it again!”
Kang Ji Song pulled out the knife that was on the body of the corpse from Baek Hyeseon's friend and threatened them all.
“I can't believe after everything you've done..How dare you ask for forgiveness? Don't try joking around in this place!!”
“.....” Kaito who was beside him chose not to say anything
“How many people have you killed? Even though you didn't do it yourself but you let them die just like that! Do you understand what you are doing?! They are your friends and juniors!! You guys don't deserve to be called sunbae by all of us!!”
Kang Ji Song was really already very emotional. He nearly kills one of them again but is stopped by Kaito.
“If you have time to do that, it's best to find a rope or other to tie their body”
“...Kh..”
“You've killed one of them. If you go back to doing it then you make no difference to them”
“You tried to defend him, Kaito-nim?!”
“I did this to make you not used to killing like I did”
“....” Kang Ji Song was stunned to hear that
“You still have to graduate from this place and have a career once everything is normal. Do you want to sacrifice your own future? If you get used to killing others out of emotion, you'll keep doing it and it'll boomerang in your life”
“But they don't deserve to be protected!! They...they..”.
“In a situation like this, killing is only allowed to protect yourself like me and Ryou do. If they threaten your life, then you can kill him”
“……”
He began to weaken his grip on the knife he was holding and started throwing it at the pile of chairs and tables holding the door. The knife goes between the cracks in the bottom of the inner chair.
That way, no one would be able to pick it up except when the barrier of the door was about to be opened.
Kang Ji Song wiped her tears and turned around to take the food that Baek Hyeseon had previously stored and share it with the others.
Kino still didn't want to say anything. She tries to accept the thing Ryou did even though it seems that it can't be that easy.
‘I... Am I really that naive and weak? Ryou's actions I don't want to accept. But..’
Kino recalled what her sister had said.
[I promise to protect you. And I think all ways should be tried. Including getting rid of bullies like him]
[It is better for me to be cruel to protect you and Kaito than to risk my life to protect someone like this!]
[Killing them could save everyone. The option of retaining those who try to threaten life is not the best option]
[Western diseases, must be resolved to the root. And Baek Hyeseon deserves it]
All of these are things that some people think are true. Baek Hyeseon deserved it. However, Kino was still too gentle to accept it.
At such times, he chose not to talk to anyone and began to calm himself down by being alone. He walked to the corner of the inner room all by himself.
Kim Yuram saw that and immediately approached Ha Jinan.
“Jinan, Jinan”
“Yuram..”.
“Quick accompany Kino there. This may be your chance” whispered Kim Yuram
Ha Jinan looked at Kino who was sitting alone on a chair with his head down. At first he wanted to approach her, but seeing that this was not the right time made Ha Jinan look sad and replied to Kim Yuram.
“It's okay, Yuram. Leave Kino-ssi alone. I...I don't want to disturb him”
“But this could be a chance for you to approach him”
“I can't. While everyone was in a state of grief and confusion, I didn't want to look like the one who took advantage of the narrow-mindedness. Approaching Kino-ssi just for the sake of getting his attention it.same to take advantage of the situation without thinking”.
Kim Yuram did not expect that his friend whom he had always considered to be a shy child could apparently think of an adult like this.
“So. Sorry for asking you to do that, Jinan. I didn't expect you to be so attentive to our situation now”
“I..I don't want to act recklessly and make others around me a victim again. I...I don't want to be as selfish as before”
Kim Yuram hugged her shy friend and rubbed her hair.
“You're a good girl, Jinan. We'll get out of here safely and when that comes, I'll support you to get close to Kino”
“Yu–Yuram!!” Ha Jinan blushed embarrassedly hearing the sentence from Kim Yuram
After letting go of his embrace, Kim Yuram saw Ryou from a distance. He saw Ryou walking towards the window near the entrance that was held back by many objects.
Ha Jinan noticed the direction of Kim Yuram's eyes and she realized that her friend was starting to notice Ryou.
“Yuram likes Ryou-ssi?” whispered Ha Jinan
“Hah?!”
“I know. Yuram no need to hide it from me”
“Ti–no! That's not–”
“It's not wrong anymore, is it?” Ha Jinan did not let Kim Yuram deny it
“.....” Kim Yuram just fell silent with a red face blushing
Meanwhile, Ryou who was looking out the window was startled by the strange behavior of the zombies.
‘The zombies that ate Baek Hyeseon walked to somewhere. Could they be heading for something?’
Not long after, he saw a lot of zombies coming.
“That's right?!”
He immediately shouted to everyone.
“Everything quickly retreated backwards now! There are many zombies walking outside!!”
Everyone panicked and started to look like they wanted to scream.
“Do not shout or you will lure them here! Calm down and quick to hide!” Kaito gave orders
Kino and Kaito who heard that immediately stood up and approached Ryou to the window.
“What happened, Ryou?” ask Kino
“I don't know. They...hmm? That?”
The three were quite surprised by one of the zombies among the crowd walking outside.
“Park Cho Joon? She died too apparently?” ryou said slowly
“He must have died after being left like that. Moreover, we ourselves know that at that time there were many zombies on the third floor before we exited” Kaito added
“Nee, aren't they weird? Where did they all go?”
Ryou and Kaito saw that all the zombies outside were indeed walking towards the same direction.
“Could it...they were pulled by something? Or...there is another thing that makes them like that?”
“Since the beginning of this place has a connection with my memory gem and the only explanation that makes the most sense is..”.
“Your memory file appears. So you mean, Kaito?”
“Tepat”
“In addition, Song Haneul-san is also still unknown whereabouts. How now?”
Kaito began to look at the two brothers with a serious expression.
“I think it's time we leave here”
