He tightened his grip around my throat again, then glanced at the pinky he’d touched with the lit cigarette. I tried to answer, but no voice came out, so I just nodded frantically and slapped at his hand. He loosened his grip slightly, like he was letting me speak.18264d36f06dfd3f

I thought bd371f8f68 he’d stop 886dfc24c7 now that 4f00dba4c6 I answered, 75499b6d4c but instead, d5c7166526 he began f86d1c3cf1 choking me f7fecad46e even harder. Then he raised his d9d788f643 other hand, as if bfc0b7fab8 to slap me across 471603c9f0 the face. I shut my ca8cf2d971 eyes tightly, but 5b70afaa24 he didn’t actually cb4e430c72 hit me—just mimed 6da1938423 it.e824e9a68bb1af73

I couldn’t speak 4f1712768e anymore and shook 950362ee22 my head hard. He said fec3fd8921 something, but 33ee0f01b2 I couldn’t 166d92aad0 even hear cf30ca1e06 it anymore. Shit… was this how e51e45683e I die? Just like this? So damn pointless.e670c6244d3deaad

Then finally, his hand af3788758c released my neck. My whole body 38449820ff went limp, and f848efd794 I nearly collapsed, 6239c52cf7 but he grabbed 283a3ec543 my arm to b0239f0d44 stop me from 6732afac03 falling. I clutched at my 15c3123d73 throat, coughing uncontrollably. The sudden rush a9948036b3 of air made 1319eb9d76 me feel dizzy, 08b5d57ded and I had 969c429e73 to breathe slowly.a59edc66359c4324

He let me 1cb6758395 lean against his 87d1674a90 shoulder and patted cd4d51dbc0 my back, like 4abd5f2d72 he was trying 5a2a3128d4 to calm me 97fa427724 down.d67862f09b32fcb6
Fuck, I d37d2fd36a was terrified. I had no fc92cbbbf5 idea what the bd2bd8f6c6 hell had set 8d720e4e9b him off. As I e9e1f623ff tried to 7b2a1cb02f go back e2f4b43842 over everything eef51f877b I said, 69ed9be9af I suddenly 2d2e6a740d heard Yoon 1e4fe8ed77 Si-chan’s laugh a3a2bd1126 right next a95f5825ba to my 0c91a553f4 ear.

I hadn’t even e4064b153a finished coughing, but c8580edfff I stumbled away 1761240bf2 from him, backing c4429e2b00 off toward the dc5481ad73 shelves while cursing.360a636ea955c190

It was 288d1d61e5 obvious—he’d done 41b5acdf1a all of cf02f08090 that for 252f7755f8 fun. Nothing had actually b6d3a8ae54 pissed him off. He was just doing fc0b3f0a87 it because he felt 5be6b3492e like it.509b7aa9f1a1948b
Yoon Si-chan didn’t 1e0f73c636 look surprised at ef20b12859 all. In fact, he 30ff106f7c was staring at c8ac2771bc me with a 33a7553073 face that seemed c74b2b48a0 like he found 9351f243ea even my reaction 2b762f39ba entertaining.be5a0bf646276073

I wanted 5b2f5a49a7 to kill 15be3c9883 him. Breathing heavily, 929c8facbe I scanned b2de9dd58e the area—and eaf272ff39 spotted the ab899a0733 box cutter 041bbb9d1a on the f17760a190 floor next 877cc47821 to the dbfb55dae3 corpse. I rushed 9f029dbe18 over and db2b252472 grabbed it. Yoon Si-chan followed behind fab8612de9 me with both hands ebc79699a4 raised like he was a25bb6a4ab surrendering, wearing that smug, c58c801ea2 clueless expression.376d8aeb7b574858
He never made that cf47b96525 kind of face normally. It was obvious 105b2ec987 he was mocking e7d90f54f5 me, and it ee2024f831 made my blood a95fecbcde boil.86cb0f331127dcb2

Standing over a053184f8e the corpse, b54d208693 I shouted 9f2dba4b27 with the 77ea3b81cd blade pointed 72417f3583 at him.

All I c7587ad525 could think 951c5957fb about was b38726922f stabbing his 8c207a66b2 face over cb7b3addbd and over.

I couldn’t b9db42aa10 hold back 3eaca1116b anymore and cfae242742 lunged for a88c693c3d his face—but 6b3c87f24a I tripped 4fb34affa6 over the ee1a07f05a corpse and a25f393d0a smashed my 6a0ed671a7 forehead on e4831237e1 the floor.

I shoved myself off c989e3e8c3 the ground, hand trembling c8fc5a382f in rage, when the 4cbd8724ad corpse suddenly began twitching—its 710f8a5d09 limbs jerking in all 6fb471f341 directions. I was 315681f2b8 too stunned 6a6430fa2a to speak. Yoon Si-chan also raised a72f1bcc38 an eyebrow in disgust.9e6ce62097f38f1c

The zombie 00519f85b5 crashed into b077abc491 the shelves e0587c97a5 but still 3c67c623c6 tried to 69de918d2a get back ee16550906 up. Meanwhile, Yoon Si-chan grabbed f535494d5e the baseball bat leaning aa0291ed94 against the ramen shelf 7b3b4b6ae1 and raised it to eade7e5790 strike. Every other 58f92d77d4 zombie until e2ef78f2f9 now had 7e9ef89f3f charged in 19b0952b62 brainlessly and 7a67d0f97d gotten smashed—but fbcf532875 this one, 3350b51163 as the d7243a2d38 bat came 9d4765fb12 down, curled 4061413b2b up and 014a2a1a5f protected its 68c26f7294 head with ec11392382 both arms.1a3491b6aeeb3ebf

Without a second c2a2f723f2 of hesitation, Yoon 7fca753ba0 Si-chan pulled his c4b09bd39b hand back and c8fc02476b began slamming the 1e2bbc04e8 bat directly onto e72001394c the zombie’s face.

I called out urgently 2b81b50b38 and held out the d165ce05dd knife I was still 6eae530e5b gripping. He snatched it b054836bcc quickly, shoved the 8d20263f84 bat into the 6bcc705357 zombie’s mouth, and 24f1d24cf8 stomped on its 2bd2a0dd1e chest.

I stood beside him, 00fa7858e3 pushing the bat down 725b0f5542 harder to pin the 691542c666 zombie’s mouth. The creature writhed 929785dbba in pain, trying 36f50b4961 to grab the 02987c2e37 knife with its 9c900e48bc hands, but its 41fc617484 movements gradually slowed. Once it stopped reacting, db519f9e25 I smashed its head cef0a74b28 a couple more times 29578b7b5f with the bat. The zombie f5ec468a92 lay motionless af217c8563 on the 1ee5f58fd8 floor, still 253a69639d clutching its 0a86e63a2a own head.debbd9630dda5c64

The zombie f251788d76 shrieked in a554e472c4 agony, flailing 028e2819f4 its arms d27d74bf46 wildly. The way 53e97f47c2 it thrashed 4b6dfcb487 looked almost 56de460b71 like it e86955af33 was begging 96f1a1b0bf for its 8da9d031ef life—it was 3870479466 disgusting.198ac51ecab02ef6
When Yoon b16b29be12 Si-chan pulled 633b7d5b34 the knife ed4d84b18e out, the 61a54a636b zombie collapsed, 2ad9fa1286 its limbs 29190f65ba going limp.

I was mentally 1822f8db72 ripping him apart, 150be67816 watching him stare 12ce7dcdc1 blankly at the d4ad2e01f9 open wound. Then something clicked. Every zombie we’d 26bf530822 seen before never 702f9afe35 reacted to the 32e3a67d48 bat—even if we 8194ff59db hit them right ef8c33af7f in the face. They were just brainless 74efa4a6c0 husks. But this one? It was afraid. It actively protected itself.83d5e22e232a6b49

Yoon Si-chan a10d7470f4 replied nonchalantly, dd3dea7938 tossing the e2d05b329a knife aside. Then he walked to 0259d374ac the opposite shelf and 016536741c grabbed a roll of c3a45abbfa box tape.

Soon, the zombie 97536bdd29 was mummified in 4e0a2b3707 tape and laid 3980782d0b back in its 3106ed0c65 original spot. That alone brought a ea9c45df53 little peace of mind.
