My phone... Where did I put my phone?

I came home that evening, turned off my phone, and haven't touched it since.

이주연

Ah, here it is!

I quickly picked up the cell phone that was under the pillow and turned it on.

As soon as I turned on my phone, disaster text messages poured in as if they had been waiting for me.

[00 City] As of 10:00 AM on the 18th of the month, 3 confirmed cases of the virus have been reported in the 00 region. If you have any suspicious symptoms such as cough or fever, please get tested at a nearby screening clinic.

[00 City Hall] As of 9:00 AM on the 18th of the month, an evacuation order has been declared for the 00 area. The 00 area is closed.

And who knew about this situation before me,

But it was too late to evacuate

Texts from mom and dad.

A drop or two of tears fell from my eyes.

이주연

I didn't say it was a virus...

Then, yesterday's news suddenly passed by.

- Yesterday morning

"People who drank this liquid initially showed cold-like symptoms..."

"It can be moved, so please be especially careful..."

이주연

Ah, I'm hungry... What should I eat for lunch?

It was my fault for not paying close attention to the news at the time.

이주연

For now... For now, it's only spread to the metropolitan area...

I need to contact the kids and tell them not to come.

Those who have already left are already gone.

Other people may think I'm cold, but

For now, in this situation...

Those who are still alive and can be saved

I have to live.

이주연

Well, there's no commotion here yet...

If you are in a situation where you cannot leave the house

I thought I should stock up on food since I couldn't starve to death.

이주연

I need to hurry up and go home...

이주연

But how do I carry all this?

When you are worrying about such things too late,

A large number of people rushed towards the exit at once, like a surge of water accompanied by screams.

이주연

Haa... haa...

Luckily, I got home safely without any problems...

이주연

Oh, my phone...?

I can't see my phone.

이주연

I can't live without it... If I don't have it...

Just then I heard my cell phone ringing outside the door.

When I opened the door and came out, luckily my cell phone was right in front of the door.

이주연

- Uh... Hello?

문준휘

-Why are you answering the phone now?

이지훈

- Where are you now?

전원우

- Do you know how worried we were?

권순영

- What do you mean don't come up!

이주연

- Hey... Let's speak one by one for a moment...

I'm trying to calm down the kids who suddenly start arguing with rapid fire...

Gyaaak-!

And then a woman's scream was heard, followed by a strange sound.

My body flinched reflexively at that sound.

At the same time, my heart started pounding.

전원우

- What was that screaming just now? What's going on over there?

권순영

- Is something really wrong?

Now nothing could be heard but the scream.

이지훈

- Hey Lee Joo-yeon!!

이주연

- Huh... Huh?

이지훈

- What are you doing? You're not answering. What's going on?

bang!

The door of the house where the scream was heard burst open as if it was going to break open.

A man cut the throat of a woman believed to be the one who screamed

I was tearing it apart.
