Wrong Universe | All of us are dead

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷Chapter 14

Cheong-san retreated back, feeling defeated as he failed to bring his best friend out of the recording room as he turn to the english professor.

"Ms. Park, it has been 30 minutes but he still doesn't want to come out." he explains.

Ms. Park sighs, "I'll see what I can do." she said before going inside the recording room to convince Gyeong-su out.

While the others all wait for Gyeong-su to come out, Byeol stare at the phone on her hands, wondering why she suddenly lost signal when it was in full bar earlier.

"I saw Nayeon wipe the blood of the zombie from earlier using her handkerchief," comes the soft voice of Nam-ra. She could even barely hear it despite of sitting beside each other.

"Ah?"

"I have a bad feeling since why would a person wipe the blood of a zombie then put it back on their pocket knowing that there's a high risk of infection." the class president explains.

Byeol's eyes finds Nayeon who sit on the other corner of the room by herself, "Thank you for telling me, Nam-ra." she responded.

Ms. Park emerges from the recording room but she failed to bring Gyeong-su out as the boy insisted to stay there for the whole hour.

"I'll go in," Cheong-san stated and was about to walk but got stopped by Jimin's statement.

"Why do you have to go in? If someone has to, it's Nayeon since she's the reason why Gyeong-su's like this."

At this, the whole group turns to Nayeon, waiting for her next movement, "Why would I?"

"He's like this because of you!" Jimin snapped at her.

"What did I do?"

"Like you didn't know."

"Was it wrong to suspect him? you did it too. Everyone did, not only me." Nayeon pointed out.

"I always believe him," Cheong-san disagrees.

"Me too," Dae-su agrees without a second thought.

"I did, she's right," Jimin admitted as she turns to Nayeon, "But I didn't insult him like you did."

"Why are you picking on me?" the spoiled brat asks, obviously pissed.

"Cause you deserve it."

Before it could escalate furthermore,s. Park decided to butt in, "Let's stop there, Jimin-ah." she walks towards Nayeon, leaning down so she could see Nayeon's eyes.

"You remember your promise, right? After 30 minutes, you'd apologize. It's been 30 minutes." said Ms. Park.

Nayeon avoided her eyes, not answering for a couple of seconds invoking silence as she contemplates her next response, "Alright, I'll do it."

She stands up and Byeol followed. While the former walks towards the door, the latter walks towards Cheong-san who steps closer to her.

Byeol watches the whole exchange through the window of the recording room, hawk eyes scanning each of their movements as she tuned out Dae-su and Su-hyeok fanboying at the prospect of witnessing an enemies-to-lover moment. She certainly didn't miss how Nayeon reaches out for her pocket so she stood closer to the door.

She watches as Nayeon suddenly grab Gyeong-su's hand and she flinch, walking towards the door but Ms. Park grabs her hand, "Let her apologize, Byeol."

When Byeol looks inside again, Nayeon already has the handkerchief on her other hand. She briefly look at Nam-ra for confirmation and the class president nodded her head. It's what all she needs to retrieve her hand away from Ms. Park, albeit harshly but she's a woman in mission.
