Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 45- I’m About To Turn

"YOON-MIN!!"

Micah couldn't believe the scene in front of him, he immediately abandoned the two zombies and sprinted towards Yoon-min, he could hear the sound of his heart thundering in his ears. Quickly reaching the stairs, he kicked away the female zombie Yoon-min had tackled and then dragged the zombie Eun-ju had kicked down the stairs off of Yoon-min's back before flinging it to the side.

The sight that greeted Micah was a deep bite wound on Yoon-min's back that had bright blood oozing out.

"Damn it, Yoon-min. Get up."

Micah's expression was pain as he bent down to help Yoon-min up.

"No, leave me, go."

Yoon-min tried to push Micah away, but Micah firmly grabbed his wrist and pulled him up. He was then about to carry Yoon-min up the steps before the zombies recovered, the two he dealt with were already rushing over. However, at that moment something clattered on the ground and then slid in front of Micah and Yoon-min.

It was a wooden bat.

Yoon-min and Micah looked up from the bat on the ground, only to see Ye-jun pulling closed one of the double doors. One of his friends was closing the second one, while another one of his friends was holding Eun-ju at the back.

"What are you doing?!"

Micah yelled when he saw that they were closing the doors. However, Ye-jun merely fixed his glasses on his nose and gave him and Yoon-min an impassive look without responding.

Bang!

Clang!

The sound of the door being closed, and the bolt locking afterward was heard. Despite the snarls of the four zombies that were charging at them from behind, if one listened closely perhaps one could hear Micah and Yoon-min's hearts frosting over as they grew cold.

...

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Teacher Park in response instinctively took a step back.

"Stay back, I'll be reporting this to the school and have your parents called in for what you did."

Teacher Park tried to threaten, but the zombie in response suddenly dashed towards him.

Teacher Park instinctively reached for his waist but upon feeling nothing there, he remembered that his gun was left in a drawer at his desk; his heart dropped at this realization.

"No, get back! Stay back!"

Teacher Park cried out as he turned and started running away. Due to his head-start, he managed to reach the end of the gymnasium and turn the corner; however, the zombie was right behind him on his tail.

A few minutes after this, sounds of running could be heard and soon, Micah's tall frame could be seen turning the corner where the water pipes were. He had Yoon-min on his back as he ran, while three zombies chased him from behind.

"Micah, you idiot, stop carrying me. I can feel it... I'm about to turn."

"Quiet."

Micah retorted harshly between his heavy breathing. He then ran toward the stair tower against the gymnasium and began climbing it to the top.

The three zombies followed from behind relentlessly. Yoon-min weakly turned his head to look back at them, but his gaze was blurry, and he could barely keep his eyelids open.

Yoon-min sighed in his heart before he turned back around and rested his chin on Micah's shoulder.

"Micah... I..."

Yoon-min tried to speak but his voice ultimately trailed off. The exhaustion was too much to bear, and it eventually engulfed him.

Yoon-min's arms that were wrapped around Micah's neck loosened and dropped to his side. He would have fallen backward if not for Micah reacting on time and catching him.

"Yoon-min? Yoon-min!"

Micah called out for Yoon-min, his voice filled with desperation, but there was no response, only silence. Immediately, tears pooled in Micah's eyes before rolling down his cheeks. However, he bit his lip hard and continued heading towards the gymnasium's roof.

Along with tears welling up in Micah's eyes, there was a burning sense of anger, anger that seemed to have stemmed from the depths of his heart.
