⠀⠀ it was either keep up with the routines or change them —— and nam — ra wasn’t too keen on change. if anything, she feared it, she didn’t want it. specially now, that this regime of hers actually was useful for once.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
“ come on, this is the second night in a row that i’ve seen you stay up. ”
concern was apparent in his voice, which was something he rarely felt. but seeing her stay up for who knows how long, wasn’t good for her.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀ nam — ra hardly slept. not because of these . . . zombies but because her mind was originally set to sleep less and study 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆. she took it, a little too seriously when her mom kept the pressure on her.
“ i’m not really tired at the moment. ”
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
gazing down at her, eyebrows slightly furrowed. with it being so late at night, he was actually surprised to see the class president still awake keeping watch.
“ you should get rest, nam-ra. ”
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀ “ because you were still lurking around the shadows around here. . . i wasn’t going to leave you behind. besides, there’s nothing out there for me. ”

⠀⠀ she didn’t know 𝒉𝒐𝒘 to answer that question without sounding… like she cared. she does care but doesn’t really show it as much as she’d want to. perks of growing up with a mother she did. eyes tangled on the ground, nam — ra licked her lips.

⠀⠀
⠀⠀ “ what are you still doing here? someone of your caliber should’ve been able to escape from here already without all that weight on him. ”

⠀⠀ she nodded her head, before letting her face expression change from nothing to soft. after he left the group, she thought he didn’t care much, hence why she didn’t follow behind him. but, how the story has turned now.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
— incident is actually why su-hyeok left the group. cheong-san trying to kick nam-ra out for being bit pissed him off, so he just left before someone got hurt.
“ well. it’s good to see you’re still. you. ”
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀ “ these zombies can’t do anything to me——, you probably don’t know this but… i’m bit. and i’m still sort of a human. but i genuinely don’t care to be amongst people who are afraid of me. ”

⠀⠀
⠀⠀ she took the bottle, sitting down against a wall and taking a small chug from it before laying it back down on the ground next to her. eyes locked on him. she didn’t know why he * 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 now? but it was sweet to watch.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀ “ let’s just say, you’re not the only one who realized that they are loudmouths. besides, i’ve always rode solo, i don’t think an apocalypse will change that. ”⠀⠀

⠀⠀ crossing her arms over her chest, her face showing no expression before her eyes fell down on the ground to notice the messiness that has occurred. clearing her throat, the girl then lifter her eyes again to look at him.

⠀⠀
⠀⠀ nam — ra didn’t expect to be pulled inside of a dark room by a tall man in the middle of nowhere, but then again, she didn’t anticipate anything that had happened so far. eyed glued over to the man before realizing who it was, it was su — hyeok.
