Being the daughter of a firefighter must be a a really good thing in situations like this. When Onjo started explaining how would they be able to get out of here, Sora stared at her with pure admiration. She would've never thought about a plan like that. It may be risky but there was no other choice. In that moment, that idea was way better than staying in the room.
"We'll build a tall barricade here and lure them in with music. We'll use the instruments too" a smile came to Sora's lips when her best friend mentioned instrument. "If we leave the door open, they'll hear the music and come in. When the hallway clears, we'll use the back door and go up"
When Onjo finished explaining step by step the plan, everybody decided to go along. They used everything they could to set the barricade. Chairs, desks, anything useful inside of the room was being stack messily in the middle of the classroom.
While Sora was looking for stuff to stack on, she noticed Onjo, Suhyeok and Namra taking. When her friend took the red string, who was holding them together, out, Sora felt nothing but relief. She's been wanting to talk to Namra for awhile, but the situation wasn't the best. Now that she wasn't tied up with Suhyeok it was the perfect opportunity to go with her.
"You know, Namra, we haven't been able to talk in awhile. I actually started missing you" Namra let out a small chuckle.
"Well, you literally ran away from us and I almost became a zombie. Maybe the world is trying to keep us apart" Sora for the first time in hours laughed. A genuine laugh.
"Gosh, I really missed you" and both girls started helping others to build the barricade.
"Hey, Namra, you are not getting off the hook that easily" the girl could only look in confusion at Sora's comment. "Oh don't look at me like that. You know what I'm talking about..." still nothing came to Namra's mind. "... Suhyeok?" And a blush finally came to her checks.
"There is nothing to talk about"
"Now you are lying. The blushing in your cheeks says otherwise"
"We just talked, nothing more"
"Look, I know you are shy and all that shit, but I'm pretty sure you are hiding something, something big"
"We kissed" she finally confessed.
"You what?" Sora was left speechless. "Wait, what? Omg congratulations! I knew he would stop being a scaredy-cat"
"And when would you stop being a scaredy-cat huh?"
And this was the only thing that shut up Sora. She immediately avoided the question and continue to help her classmates in order to get out of here.

The barricade was done and even though it would not hold the zombies much longer, you could say it looked pretty decent. Well, decent enough to help them escape. Now there was a dilemma of who was going to open the door. As usual Suhyeok and Cheongsan fought for the spot and Sora couldn't help but to join them.
"No. You are not going with us. Stay behind the barricade" Suhyeok said as soon as he saw Sora walking to the door.
Sora was about to complain but quickly shut her mouth when she saw the look in both of her friend's faces.
"Righttt. But wait up, let me just grab a little thing" and finally her favorite thing in the world was back in her hands: her guitar.
Everyone got in their position and just like that the zombies came in running. Fortunally the barricade was actually helping, it couldn't hold much longer tho.
All the students were helping to keep the barricade up, and Sora took this opportunity to connect her guitar and use it to get more attention. It obviously worked so she began to play a random song from her playlist.
When the timing was right, one by one the students filed out the room. The only ones standing were Daesu, Cheongsan and Sora, but when the opportunity came, they ran for their lives.
Sora knew the hallways and the plan to get to the roof, but she couldn't help but to feel anxious. She wasn't sure if this was going to work, and that would be their last chance. Despite her negative thoughts, Sora never stopped running. She kept on going and turning around to make sure everyone was fine.
They finally reached the rooftop, but something was awfully wrong, the door didn't budge. Regardless of the inconvinience, the students kept trying, however they were running out of time.
"They are coming" Namra said in a whisper.
"What's coming?" Sora didn't need an answer to Suhyeok's question, she knew pretty well what Namra was talking about.
"Fuck, we need to open the door right now! They are near" Sora began to panick, however she gave her guitar to Onjo and tried opening the door with the small pocketknife.
"It's late. They're here"
Sora has been in plenty death situations, but nothing could top this one. They were all going to die. Right now. Together. She remebered all the moments she spend with them and anger rose up through her body. With Gyeongsu's unjustifiable death in her mind, she shared one last look with Onjo and got ready to fight the threat.

She lost track at how many zombies she tried to slice, but she was getting tired. Sora cought a glimpse at Cheongsan and Suhyeok fighting by her side and tears came to her eyes.
"This may be my last time with Cheongsan and I never told him how I felt" Sora thought with regret.
The blue plastic cover was blocking the zombies, but still some came through.
"We can't keep this long" Cheongsan screamed through the mess.
"No shit, Sherlock." Sora said back. "Open the damn doo-" but she was cut short when the girl felt the presence of something stronger and more dangerous than any of this zombies.
The unwanted visitor was the one and only Gwinam (with a very ugly eye's scratch), who didn't look like he wanted a friendly chat.
Good news: he's priority was Cheongsan. Bad news: he wanted Cheongsan dead.
"Give me your eye" he said while grabbing the boy by his shirt.
Sora didn't know what to do. She was in shock since they all thought Gwinam was dead. The only thing that came to her mind was going for her guitar and slam it on his back, but she was hesitating, after all it was her precious possession. However this wasn't needed, since Namra was quick to act and held Gwinam by his neck chocking him. Sora stared at her with awe. She couldn't belive the force she had to be doing that. The girl wasn't sure what was going on, but she was sure Gwinam wouldn't stop his threat there.
Sora was positive Namra could manage herself so she went to the door to keep trying and get it open. Suddenly like magic, the fire alarms began to ring and the door opened by itself. The students took the opportunity to get out of there, however it was too late.
