NAM-RA IS SEATED on the windowsill, Su-Hyeok beside her.

It's been about ten minutes since the Cheong-San and Su-Hyeok brawl. Since then, everyone has been quiet, waiting for something to happen.

Si-Yeon wasn't paying attention when she heard a larger 'clank' sound from the window. The music stand was in pieces on the floor and Su-Hyeok had his back turned to the class.

"Get out of the way!" Cheong-San lunges at Nam-Ra, but Su-Hyeok blocks the way. He pushes Cheong-San over a desk to keep him from getting up. He raises his fist, but before he could punch, he is pulled off of the other boy, with a gun pointed to his chest.

He looks at the shooter to see the girl, that was seated next to Nam-Ra.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" She says chuckling a bit, "You are actually going to get into a fist fight over something that we all thought was resolved minutes ago."

"She was going to bite him-" she hears from the other boy, leaning against the table. She points the gun at him, making him tense up.

"If she was bitten by a zombie, she would have turned by now. Full on mouth gargling, bone snapping and whatever else goes." Her arm falls to her side, as both boys look at eachother both wondering, Where the hell did she get a gun?

"Si-Yeon." She looks over at the girl, still on the windowsill. To be honest, she was suprised that she remembered her name, "Its okay. I wanted to bite Su-Hyeok."

Si-Yeon gives her a tired look, "Dude, I'm trying to defend you but your making it really hard."

"What do you mean by that." Cheong-San takes this opportunity to jump back into the convo. Si-Yeon turns around to give him a stern looking that says, Don't cause anymore problems.

"I mean..." the raven girl continues, "If I hadn't come to me senses, I would've bitten him."

"Hey, come one, stop that. What's wrong with you?" Su-Hyeok says.

Dae-Su lets out an annoyed sign. Pretty much everyone wants this to be over so that they can plan what they are all going to do next.

"Wait," Si-Yeon says, "You saw this Gwi-Nam person get bitten?"

"Yes, a hundred times. I thought we were over this." Cheong-San mumbles the last part.

"Alright smartass." The girl says to herself, "So you saw him turn?"

The boy looks at her with an unsure face.

"I didn't. I was busy running away."

That's what I thought...

"You." She says pointing at the other boy.

"Su-Hyeok." He says, clearly not wanting to be called, you.

"Yeah, I figured. I also don't give a shit." She says fast, wanting to get to the point without caring about honorifics, "You fought Gwi-Nam, right?"

"Yes, I did." He answers, staring at the girl.

"Well, there's no reason for either to lie. Maybe Gwi-Nam was bitten, but was not affected. There are always people that are immune," she says looking around.

"Still, she tried to bite him." Everyone's heads turn to the girl next to Hyo-Ryung. Ji-Min, was her name. "She's not normal."

"Ji-Min, Stop." On-Jo tests.

"Why? Are you saying I'm wrong?"

"Maybe. I don't know what we should do."

"We can't pretend she's fine."

Si-Yeon steps in, trying to defend On-Jo, "She may not be normal, but at least she's still part human."

"Who are you to talk, you just got here, you don't don't know us."

The girl try's to take a step forward, towards Ji-Min, but is stopped by someone pulling her arm back. She waves the hand off before turning to see who it is. Su-Hyeok.

"Enough. Please don't fight. Leaving will solve everything." Nam-Ra makes her way towards the door, On-Jo close behind her.

"Don't leave! Where would you go?!" She tugs on her arm, practically begging her to stay.

"I-Sak, Hyeon-Ju... there hands were cold before they turned. Nam-Ra's hands are warm, so cut it out and let's figure out how to get to the roof."

"No."

"Ji-Min!"

"She may be fine, but who knows what could happen when she turns," She looks around, seeing if anyone agreed with her. No one meets her eye. "She said herself she wanted to bite him. She has zombie blood in her veins. Zombies killed my mom and dad."

The room darkens at the mention of Ji-Min's parents. Si-Yeon felt bad, but now is not the time for a sob story.

She walks towards the door, grabbing some cut curtain. She makes her way back to group and grabs Nam-Ra's wrist tieing one end to hers, and the other to herself.

"What are you doing?" She asks, trying to get out of Si-Yeon's grip.

"Don't." She warns, before she continues tieing a knot.

Everyone in the room watches as the girl finishes tieing.

"Happy? If she turns, she can't get to you. I'll get bitten instead."

No would care if I was bitten, so they shouldn't try to stop me...

Everyone stays quiet. Tears fill Ji-Min's eyes, On-Jo peers at Nam-Ra with guilt, and Su-Hyeok watches the two girls like a hawk.

Si-Yeon glared at him, but he doesn't break the eye contact. Neither does she.
