Wrong Universe | All of us are dead

"Cheong-san!"

Byeol halted as everyone flinches at the voice. Cheong-san grabs the metal baseball bat before he stands up.

"It's Gwi-nam," he told the group, earning huffs of disapproval and disbelief around them.

"That asshole never dies," Dae-su commented, staying close to the wall.

"Who's that?"

"Who's Gwi-nam?"

"Gwi-nam?"

Ha-ri, So-ju, and Bom asks in unison, being alarmed at the expression and the reactions of the kids.

"Maybe we heard it wrong? It was all quiet now." Hyo-ryeong suggested---more like convincing herself.

Byeol could hear the scrunches of tiny rocks against the sole of Gwi-nam's shoes, his scent wafting around her nostrils which seems to overpower the stench of zombies.

Cheong-san begins to step forward but Byeol lightly pushes him back, red eyes glaring at him as if to tell him to stand back.

Byeol sneakily steps forward as the others starts to stand up, making sure that they were behind her in case something happens, which will probably do considering that Gwi-nam means trouble.

Suddenly, the plastic cover that serves as the curtain of the window was pulled away, the bully leaning towards the window with a smug smirk on his face, "There you are."

Cheong-san suddenly appears from behind her, charging as he swings the bat to hit Gwi-nam but the latter was too fast so he was able to dodge and grab Cheong-san on the shoulders, slamming his back to the wall. The bat clanks to the scaffolding as Cheong-san wriths in pain.

Byeol roll her eyes, pulling Cheong-san by the arm before Gwi-nam jumps outside of the window.

"Why are you so fucking obsessed with his eyeballs?" Byeol spat after making sure that Cheong-san's safe behind her back.

Gwi-nam smirked but glowered at her, "Why are you so fucking nosy? This is between me and Cheong-san, bitch."

Cheong-san's eyes ignites in fury as he glares at Gwi-nam, "Don't call her a bitch, you fucking bastard!"

Byeol just raise an arm to prevent him from charging at Gwi-nam and possibly hurt himself.

"Maybe because Cheong-san's my boyfriend and who ever messes with what's mine has to go through me," Byeol sneered back, "Here's what you need to remember, Yoon Gwi-nam. You won't ever succeed in what you desire as long as I'm alive. I'm not going to let you hurt my friends anymore, fucking gopher."

"You fucking bi---" Gwi-nam had made a move to choke her but find himself retreating a couple steps backward and nearing the edge when a sharp pain spreads on his cheeks as blood starts to drip from the cut. It was merely a graze but it stings a lot--even for a hambie like him.

The group flinches when a gunshot rang throughout the whole place as they turn around to Jung Bom who had her rifle aimed to the bully, "Get your fucking hands off of my daughter. That was just a warning, the next bullet will create a hole at the middle of your forehead."

Gwi-nam smirked, wiping the blood on his cheeks using the back of his hand, "You even got a fucking soldier involved."

"Come on, Yoon Gwi-nam. Don't be a coward and pick someone that could match your strength," the corner of Byeol's lips lifted as her glare sharpen.

In one swift motion, Gwi-nam grab Byeol on the neck, holding her to the edge as Byeol has all of her fingers wrapped around Gwi-nam's neck.

The position disables Bom to shoot because her daughter will fall if Gwi-nam loose his grip.

"Get your fucking hands off of her, Yoon Gwi-nam!" Cheong-san yelled at the bully and was about to charge if it wasn't for Su-hyeok who held him tight, "Yah! Yoon Gwi-nam!"

Byeol's grip on his neck loosens as Gwi-nam's grip tightens even more, cutting her oxygen as she stars gasping for air. Instead of choking him, Byeol resorted to his wrist, grabbing it with both of her hand and breaking it like a glow stick. The bone on Gwi-nam's wrist bend in an odd and disgusting way as he screams in pain, his grip loosening.

With the last strength of his broken arm, he pushes Byeol to the edge, the girl falling back.

"Yah! Byeol!" her friends screams her name in unison, eyes widening as Cheong-san finally breaks free from Su-hyeok and charges towards Gwi-nam while Bom looks down to check what happened to her daughter.

Cheong-san swings his fist to Gwi-nam's face but the latter had managed to catch his fist, twisting his arm as the former screamed in pain. Gwi-nam smirked at the group before biting Cheong-san's arm but his brows furrowed when instead of flesh, he bit into something hard. When he looked down, he saw that his arms were covered with thick blanket of white tape, perfectly camouflaging on his white uniform.

Byeol suddenly appears from where she fell, jumping up back to the scaffolding as she kicks Gwi-nam away from Cheong-san. Gwi-nam recovered, standing up and was about to grab someone from the group but he was met by the nose of the riffle.

"I told you to get your hands off of my daughter, didn't I?" Bom said through gritted teeth, fingers hovering over the trigger as Gwi-nam could pick up the scent of gun powder from the rifle.

And then a high-pitch tone assaulted the sensitive ears of the hambies, making them writhe in pain, immediately weakening them as they try to cover their ears, whimpering.

Byeol saw this as an opportunity and through the pain, she stood up and stagger towards Gwi-nam, tackling him down as the both of them fell over the scaffolding, their body plummeting to the ground with great speed.

To say that the group was surprised is an understatement as they look over the scaffolding, watching as even they were falling, Byeol and Gwi-nam's still fighting.

"BYEOL!" Cheong-san's screams ripped through the thick tension as Bom collapses on the wooden floor at the sight of her daughter falling into her death.

Byeol made sure that she's on top of Gwi-nam as she chokes him with her remaining strength, his neck snapping just as the both of them fell on the ground, a metal bar skewering them together as Byeol gasps in pain, coughing up blood. She looks down to only see a metal bar that was impale deep on her stomach.

She looks down at Gwi-nam who is unconscious before lifting herself off of his body, whimpering as she felt the agonizing pain of the metal bar scraping the insides of her body. She fell next to Gwi-nam's lifeless body with a thud, crimson thick liquid pooling around her as she chokes on her own blood.

From where she had fallen, she can briefly see the outline of her friends looking down on them, their hands on  their mouth. The last thing she heard was their cries before she fell on the dark abyss of nothingness.

Cheong-san's breath hitches as tears cannot stop from falling down his cheeks, his eyes drifting to his arms that were covered with tape---one that Byeol insisted to put on him.

"Byeol, my daughter," Bom whimpers in pain, looking over the scaffolding as she stare at the splayed figure of Byeol.

At this point, Cheong-san had made a decision. One that was too rush and stupid but he had to finish what Byeol had wanted from the start. With tear-stained cheeks, he turn to Su-hyeok, "Su-hyeok ah, get to the first floor." he said and without waiting for their objections, he jumps inside the building, ignoring the calls of his friends as he sprints inside, yelling at the top of his lungs.

"YAH!"

He heard the aggressive snarls of the zombies followed by their heavy footings as he stopped in front of the stairs, "I WAS THE HAPPIEST MAN IN THE EARTH UNTIL YOU TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME!"

Meanwhile, Byeol jolted up with a gasp as she sat up, sweat making her hair stick around her face before she felt the softness of the ground--- no, it wasn't the ground.

Looking around, it dawned to her and her heart broke into pieces. Because instead of waking up in the construction site like she had expected to happen, she woke up at the familiar four-cornered room.

She wake up on her own bedroom.
