Hello, hello!

*Meanwhile

"On-jo. I'm sorry. You don't have to like me back." Cheong-san pleaded.

Tears fall on On-Jo's face. "Please don't."

"I did it. I said it all, so it's all good."

"How is it all good? You're a jerk. You were my best friend. I-sak's gone and now you're gone too. What is it that you want from me?"

There was a pregnant silence and a sigh. "Did you... Did you ever like me? Not even a little bit? You never liked me?" Cheong-san's voice almost broke, saying that sentences.

"Would you please leave? I just want to be alone."

"You don't have to like me back." He just wanted an answer, a clear one. When Cheong-san didn't get any response, he knew he have to give her, her space. 'I gave up my first love because I thought she will never notice me. And On-jo is always there for me. I'm regretting the day I gave her up.'

*Back to Ara and Su-hyeok

"I-I don't understand."

Su-hyeok held my hand on him. "Ara, listen to—"

"On-jo!"

We both look and look at what the commotion is about. We saw Gwi-Nam on top of Cheong-san, trying to gauge his eyes out. Su-hyeok quickly took an action, pulling Gwi-Nam off but only to be thrown on the pile of trash.

It's a total disaster, thunder has begun to rumble, and grunts and shouts from the fight can be heard. I grabbed a plank from our SOS sign and dashed towards Gwi-Nam. The plank only broke as I smashed it against his back. Gwi-Nam glared daggers at me, grabbing my throat. Well, at least he's not trying to gauge Cheong-san's eyes. I didn't bother struggling, my face is not even contorting in pain, and that scared me. My dull eyes just stared at him. "If you can't die from that bridge, maybe from the heights you will." As he was about to throw me out of the building, Nam-Ra lunged at him, surprising him and dropping me on the floor. "Ara!"

Cheong-san was quick to approach me, supporting me to stand up. "You're okay?"

I didn't answer nor did I move in my position, I just cough and hold my neck, I can feel the bruises already forming. Cheong-san looks at me, then back to the fight. "G-g-o..."

He hugs me before sprinting to the brawl. Nam-Ra appears to gain a lot of strength after she manages to hold Gwi-nam. When I felt something warm fall from my nose, my attention was drawn away from the fight. I place my hand on my nose and examine it. Blood.

I quickly turned my head away from the group, my bones cracking and a small groan escaping my lips. I could feel the joints in my neck twisting oddly. I clutch my neck with both hands, hoping it will stop angling and cracking. I squeezed my eyes shut and wiped the blood away with the back of my hand.

'Why now?'

*Military Base

"We rescued a detective from Hyosan Police Station. And he seems to know a lot about the virus, sir. There's a laptop in Hyosan High School that has..."

"Hey. You need to start from the very beginning.

"But we don't have much time." A scoff was heard.

"The disease spreading in Hyosan is called the Jonas Virus. Lee Byeong-chan, a science teacher at Hyosan High School and a student named Ara Kangjeon, created it. He left his laptop in the school science lab and the girl is still in the school. He said it has everything we need and the girl has a lot of knowledge regarding the virus, to get ourselves out of this catastrophe, we need them.
