Me:
What do you mean?

Byounggon:
Exactly what I just said. You remember how crazy that dead man was, right Y/n?

Me:
Yeah, but...

Seunghun looks confused between me and Byounggon. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by Byounggon, I stand silently.

Byounggon:
And that guy is his friend. How much can we trust someone like him? Think about it.

Me:
.....

Byounggon has a point. But I have a hard time finding the right thing to say to him.

Byounggon:
Our safety is my number one priority here. And that's exactly why I can't just rely on some rumor from a random guy. Y/n, maybe we want to believe this guy because we're just too tired of this place. I think we should all get some rest and talk about this later. See you, Seunghun.

Seunghun:
Uh...see ya.

I notice Seunghun looking at me with the 'what's going on here' look. But I don't feel like talking about it.

Me:
Sorry, I'm gonna go to my classroom, too.

Seunghun:
You're gonna tell me about what happened though. Right?

Me:
I'll tell you later.

Seunghun:
Okay. I'm not really big on waiting, though. But you promised. I know something happened out there. That's for sure. Aight, go get your rest, Y/n.

Seunghun lays his hand on top of my head. I can feel the warmth of his palm. His eyes meet with mine for a second. Then he goes into 1-C.

-----

I'm in my classroom curled up on the floor by myself. Yiren...I miss you. You'd be so excited about the Safe Zone. I can picture you jumping up and down and screaming.

How awesome it'd be to be able to go there with you...Gosh, I really miss you today. Where are you? I fall asleep thinking about Yiren.

When I'm up, it's already getting dark outside.

Me:
Oh, shoot!

The meeting must have begun already. I rush to 1-C.

Byounggon:
I don't think we can just make a spur-of-the-moment decision on this.

Gowon:
I agree but...

Yonghee:
What if there is really a Safe Zone?

Byounggon:
Are we now counting our lives on 'what ifs'?

Yonghee:
Well, at least I know we can't stay here forever. We only have some time until all food runs out here.

Jinyoung:
We must find another safer place for us.

Byounggon:
Hmm...forever...

Byounggon smiles.

Seunghun:
There's no point sitting here just talking about it. Let's just go and see it for ourselves!

Byounggon:
Then we'd know for sure if it really exists. But it's too much of a risk we'd have to take.
