The night was cold, colder than it should have been. The wind blew through the deserted streets, hitting the ruined buildings and whistling like the moans of souls trapped in the ruins. The scene before her was chaotic; burning cars, strewn bodies, and the distant sounds of monsters searching for their next prey. There was no light except for the moon hanging in the sky, silently bearing witness to this world that had become a living nightmare. She stood right behind him, holding her breath, her eyes fixed on his back. Jungwon walked with steady steps, as if this whole chaos did not concern him. Cold as ice, showing no sign of fear, not even hesitation. He watched every corner, every moving shadow, his fingers clenched around his weapon, ready for a surprise attack. “Don’t delay.” He said in a low voice without looking at her, but his tone carried a clear warning. She nodded quickly, even though he didn’t see it. She was trying to keep up with him, but her heart was pounding like crazy. She wasn’t like Jungwon, she wasn’t used to this world yet. Before all this, her life was normal, full of laughter and warm conversations, but now… survival was everything. One wrong move. Glass under her foot. Crack!… She froze in place, her blood freezing in her veins. It was a small mistake, but in this world it meant the difference between life and death. Jungwon turned immediately, his dark gaze meeting her wide ones. For a moment, he didn’t say anything, just stared at her, then“Run.” There was no time to argue. From the far corner, those monsters appeared, their corroded bodies moving at an unnatural speed, their hungry eyes fixed on her. She didn’t know her feet could move so fast, but fear gave her a strength she didn’t know she had. She heard shots behind her. She didn’t need to look to know that Jungwon was fighting them alone, as usual. Her heart screamed that she should stay, to help him, but she knew that he wouldn’t forgive her if she put herself in danger. She ran… but to where?
