Episode 46.

...

I left the music room completely and looked around, muttering to myself.

"There... when will I go there again..."

Arriving at the central warehouse, I grabbed some medicines just in case, and also some sanitary pads of various sizes (small, medium, and large), and headed to the bathroom on the third floor.

Then, as if he had been waiting for me, I saw Ui-Geon oppa waving his hand at me as soon as he saw me in the hallway on the third floor. I walked towards that place, and as soon as I arrived, Ui-Geon oppa was pointing with his hand towards the inside of the women's restroom.

So I headed straight to the women's restroom, and inside the quiet restroom, there was only one woman standing, leaning against the wall, looking very tired.

I approached that woman and tapped her shoulder. She turned her head to look at me and then slowly turned around.

The woman stared intently at the medicine in my hand, then sighed and seemed to be looking around.

I followed suit and looked around, and as I stood there blankly in the empty bathroom, I felt someone grab my arm and turned my head again to look at the woman.

Then the woman carefully opens her mouth...

여자
"...Do you have any birth control pills?"

I was so surprised that I just froze.

Then, as if she thought, "Oh no," she took her hand off my arm and brushed back my bangs.

여자
"There's no way"

She muttered and shook her head, took the sanitary pad I was holding in my hand, and went into the bathroom.

I don't know what happened, but the woman's expression was indescribable.

As if something big had happened... I was concerned about her haggard appearance, so I approached the door of the compartment the woman had entered and opened my mouth.

"I have... birth control pills. I'll bring them."

After saying those words, I left the bathroom and approached Eui-Geon Oppa, who was giving me a questioning look as he came out alone, and handed him the medicine and sanitary pad I was holding in my hand.

"Hey...hey lady, these are... wings..."

I heard my brother muttering something behind me, but I quickly left the place and headed to the central warehouse on the second floor alone.

As soon as I entered the warehouse, I swept through the medicines I had brought with me from the department store and took out the birth control pills I had brought with me.

I thought I would never use it, but I never dreamed it would be used like this...

I left the central warehouse, clutching the contraceptive pills tightly in my hand, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

So, I passed the second floor and headed to the third. I turned the corner right at the end of the stairs to the second floor...

At that moment.

Pak-

Someone was coming down the stairs, and we both turned around at the same time in front of the corner, bumping into each other. I assumed it was one of our team members, so I looked up to check their face.

"are you okay?"

But I was surprised by the face of a man I had never seen before.

Although he was not a member of our group, he was wearing the uniform of a student at our school and looked like just an ordinary student.

But why are you wandering around so freely?

As I looked at the man with a questioning look, he tilted his head and tried to pass me by, and I opened my mouth to him.


이여주
"Even if there are no zombies now, you never know when or where they might appear."


전정국
"Really? Thanks."

A man who seemed to understand what I meant and went down the stairs with a smile.

As I watched the man's back, I quickly walked up to the third floor, looking at the man and the contraceptive pill I was holding in my hand.

When we got to the third floor, I saw my brother, who was still stiff and holding a sanitary pad, and we all went back inside the bathroom.

Then I saw the woman still leaning against the wall, so I walked over to her and handed her the birth control pill.

A woman who immediately opens the packaging, puts the pill in her mouth, sips tap water, and swallows the pill.

The woman wiped the wet corners of her mouth with her wrist, suddenly tied her hair back, and began washing her face.

I was so worried about that appearance..

It might have felt like I was being rude, but I wanted to help, so after much thought, I slowly opened my mouth.


이여주
"What's going on..?"

The woman stopped washing her face at my question, turned off the water, and stared at me in the mirror.

For a moment, the woman took her eyes off me, picked up some soap, and started to lather it up on her hands before opening her mouth.

여자
"It's not a problem you can solve just because you know it."

After saying that, the woman turned on the water and wiped the foam off her hands, and continued speaking.

여자
"There's nothing good about getting involved with those kids..."

I asked back, my eyes sparkling at the woman's words.


이여주
"Those kids?"

After I asked her a question, she turned off the water, washed her hands, and then turned her head to look at me. She spoke to me with her eyes still wide open.

여자
"We've only been here for six days now. Will the kids survive? That's all we talk about. Most of them think they might just die if they keep going like this."

A woman who pauses for a moment before speaking.

The woman seemed to be thinking while wrapping one hand around her neck, then bit her lower lip and pulled her upper lip away from her lower lip.

여자
"So, you're not afraid to do things more brutal than those zombies biting and tearing people apart right now. You don't know what's going on in here, but..."

After saying that, I watched the woman walk past me and out of the bathroom, and then stood there blankly for a while, lost in thought.

Why didn't I think of that?

It's already been 6 days, not just one or two days, where boys and girls are in the same class.

We may have to stay for a few more days, but we continue to sleep, wake up, and eat together... We are only focused on the ugly and strange model called the zombie, and we do not see the shadow that appears after it.

The idea that all the students in this school would be able to care for and help each other in times of danger and fear was a delusion brought about by the zombies.

The foolishness of not grasping the most fundamental part, thinking only that I had to kill zombies unconditionally, now hits me in the back of the head.


When I came to my senses and looked at my face in the mirror, it looked brighter than the other people I had seen at school.

I thought everyone else would be like me.

I thought I would live with the hope and belief that I could survive no matter what, but that was my big miscalculation and my biggest mistake.

"...Zombies weren't the only problem.."
