STAY ALIVE [AOUAD]

05 The Lab

The color of Coach Kang's eyes had begun to change and suddenly his nose started to bleed. He turns over facing the wall, trying to wipe off his bloody nose. Y/n quirks an eyebrow, pausing her picture-taking frenzy and waiting for the man to turn back around. However, her wait was over quickly when On-Jo hit his head with someone's bag. Coach Kang pauses and slowly swivels around. Cheong-San jumps in front of On-Jo, shielding her from the infected teacher.

Y/n turns her camera back on, taking pictures face to face now. Out of nowhere, Coach Kang falls to the floor and began to crack his bones. Unlike humans who get up with the help of their hands, Koach Kang began to bend in odd ways with the noise of cracking bones and he was back on his feet. "He's turning!" Dae-Su stated the obvious and the teacher's eyes began to turn red, overlapping his white cornea. "Shit, we gotta get out" Ji-Min, a girl with ponytails says. "Get him out of here! Throw him out!" Na-Yeon yells, and that was the final call for zombies to come around the corner.

Coach Kang dashes from his position, and towards Dae-Su. Thankfully Wu-Jin yanked him back, but it was at a price. Min-Ji another student in their class fell to the floor while Coach Kang bit off her mouth. "Min-Ji..." Ji-min utters in an aghast voice as Dae-Su gasps. Y/n moves next to Coach Kang and kicks him back from the girl, throwing another kick to his abdomen. "Dae-Su... I don't wanna die" Min-Ji says from the floor, looking at Dae-Su with wet eyes. Unlike Coach Kang, the girl had nosebleed real quickly, and y/n took one last picture before placing the phone in her bag.

Soon enough the class held two zombies and Na-Yeon began to remove the desks and chairs to escape. Su-Hyeok soon joins her while the rest of the boys kept Min-Ji and Coach Kang away from them. "Dae-Su, I need your permission, can I?" Y/n suddenly asks as the teary-eyed boy looks down, watching a newly broken piece of wood in her hand. The boy only nods, kicking away the P.E teacher. Y/n lets out a sigh and slams the sharper side of the wood on Min-Ji's head and the girl drops still. Before she could move to coach Kang, the doorway was cleared and everyone began to flee.

Y/n's attention was on it and Coach Kang was inches away from tackling her. As soon as she turned around, Cheong-san trapped the teacher between a desk and the wall. "Thanks, San!" Without any warning, y/n rams the wooden stick right on Coach Kang's face, and the blood spurts on Cheong-san's face. She certainly wasn't going to leave without killing him. "Come on Hurry up!" Hyo-Ryung's voice pulls the two out of their trance and they soon rush out of there and a ton of zombies chase after them.

As if the ones from behind weren't enough, another herd came from the front. The boys began to separate windows from the classroom and used them to hit the zombies and shielded themselves from them. Y/n was too much busy in the back, fighting the ones from behind, Nam-ra soon joined her, taking a window for herself and hitting as much as she can. Y/n glanced at the girl for a second and caught the sight of her friend already watching. The two shared a smile, ramming their tools at the same zombie and it drops to the floor.

"Move it hurry! Push!" Dae-Su's voice overlaps their fight and they rush to the boys, helping them move against the zombies. Thankfully the ones behind the group were long dead or thrown out of the window. Dae-su had broken a door and it was their biggest defense as they pushed the zombies backward. "Watch your hands! Push!" Su-Hyeok says and the group pushes harder until they dropped the zombies to the ground floor stairs, where On-Jo had confessed to Y/n hours ago. "Girls! Go upstairs! Go!" Wu-Jin shouts over his shoulder.

Alas, the next floor was also filled with Zombies and Y/n hit of few of them down, until one of them fell out of the window with her wooden stick. As if her prayers were heard, the boys came up the stairs and the door was back to being their shield. However, what the group didn't notice was that Su-Hyeok had accidently stayed behind, fighting some zombies. "Su-Hyeok!" Y/n's voice was however unheard as the group began to push everyone forward. "The science lab!" Gyeong-su shouts and the group stops in front of it, trying to keep the zombies away as much as they can. "It's locked. Gotta go somewhere else!" Ji-Min yells as she tugs on the lock. "Nowhere to go! We're surrounded!" Joon-Yeong yells back with a grunt, unable to hold on any longer. "It's locked! Didn't you hear me?!" Ji-Min exclaims in frustration.

"Push Dae-su! Push!" On-Jo suddenly says and the boy obeys. Y/n was helping Wu-Jin to push the windows on the other side and watched as On-Jo took out the water hose. "What now?" Wu-Jin asks in worry and y/n places a calm hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Wu and just push"

Y/n suddenly felt hands on her feet and looked down to see the fallen zombies were crawling from the floor. The shooter began to kick off their hands until she heard On-Jo shout that the door was open. They hurried inside one by one, dropping the door and windows to a side and closing the door shut. Dae su was leaning against the wall but a zombie suddenly reached its hand inside and grab his face. "Dae-Su!"

"Damn it!" Joon-Yeong grabs a fire extinguisher and hits the zombie with it, but since he wasn't a hitter he missed the zombie and hit the window next to it, breaking it in the process. More infected students began to crawl from the window as the group was terrorized again. "Get a desk! Block it!" Cheong-San shouted and Wu-Jin and Cheong-San picked up a desk and safeguarded the window with it. Dae-Su sits against the desk, panting heavily due to all the running they did. Since his body was fat, he struggled the most to run but anyone would agree that he was the reason the group was alive now. If it wasn't for his door.

"Give me the phone, I'll try calling someone" Na-Yeon asks On-Jo. "Sorry, I lost it" On-Jo responded, forgetting that Y/n had taken the device.

"How could you lose it?!" Na-Yeon exclaimed with a whine "Who cares? We got a secure room" Gyeong-su says, trying to put a stop to the constant fight that seems to come out. "Like you can talk. It's because you didn't lock the door. If you had done that, the P.E teacher wouldn't have gotten to us. We almost died because of you!" Accuses Na-Yeon without even noticing that she was indirectly saying Gyeong-su attempted murder.

"Then why didn't you do anything yourself?" Gyeong-su challenges, getting angry at the girl himself. "You're so fսcking annoying" Na-Yeon comments while Gyeong-su walks over to her in a raging way. "Gyeong-su, no, no, no. Hey, don't" Dae-Su tries to talk the boy out, but he barely listened, pushing Na-Yeon. "You bitch"

"Don't you touch me!"

"Fight after you move these. This is not the time" I-Sak announces. "She's right. Stop it" Cheong-san says right after and the two finally back away from each other, still glaring. "Su-Hyeok and Y/n"

"What?"

"Where's Su-Hyeok and y/n?!"
