LEE EUN HYUK
The hallway was colder than usual.
I hadn't even realized I was gripping the clipboard tighter than necessary until the pen snapped in my hand. The weight of the past few hours settled like dust in my throat—thick, dry, and impossible to cough out. I exhaled slowly and turned a corner, the echo of muffled conversations trickling into the silence. I needed answers. And Minah... she wasn't the only one who had seen it all unfold, but nonetheless, apart from Jae Heon, Jisu, Hyun Su, Yi Kyung, she was the only person I felt comfortable talking to, even though we had a history together
She stood by the corridor window, her silhouette outlined by the pale, grey light filtering through the grime-caked glass. For a second, I hesitated. She wasn't looking at me. She was watching the rain fall in steady sheets, her arms folded tightly across her chest, shoulders locked like armor. She looked like she might splinter at the edges.
"Minah."
She flinched, barely, then turned to face me. Her eyes were sharp, clouded with something darker than anger. Guilt, maybe. Horror.
"What happened out there?" I asked quietly.
Her jaw tensed. "You didn't see?"
"I want to hear it from you."
For a moment, she didn't speak. Just the faint sound of thunder somewhere far away, and the distant cry of a broken window creaking under wind pressure.
Finally, she exhaled, a long and trembling breath. "It wasn't a monster."
I stayed silent.
"Thatthug, Sang Wook—" she broke off, swallowing hard, "—he killed someone. A human. The guy was already beaten to hell. Could barely stand. But Sang Wook didn't care. He said the guy didn't deserve a humane death." She looked at me, her voice trembling at the edges now. "And then he smashed his head in. With a hammer."
I closed my eyes briefly.
She went on. "He dragged the body outside like it was trash. And then—" she paused, her voice lowering, "he came back with two bodies. Su Ung and Jin Ok's daughter. And then he tried to lock himself out with the monsters."
That part I already knew, at least from the fragments I'd heard in passing. I rubbed a hand across my face.
"Jae Heon saved him," Minah added. "Lifted the shutters and dragged him back in before the monsters reached."
Of course he did. That man couldn't stand still while someone tried to martyr themselves.
I nodded slowly. "Did Sang Wook say anything?"
"Yeah." Her voice dropped. "To the guy he killed... he said: 'You shouldn't die peacefully. You don't deserve a humane death. You...' And the man—he said back: 'You fucking murderer...' Then Sang Wook said: 'You don't deserve to live.' And that was it."
