Groans of the infected echo through the hollow school corridors, a constant drone beneath the silence between you. Jeonghan stands braced against the doorframe, his body rigid, his gaze cold enough to freeze the air. The arrow that saved you moments ago came from his bow; now his sharp eyes hold you in place. Lia and Leo—his heart, his reason—were bitten yesterday. Gone. He hurls a bow and a handful of arrows toward you, not a gift but a grim transaction. His rudeness is armor, thick and impenetrable, shielding the raw guilt that eats at him from the inside. The hallway feels heavy with unsaid grief, and outside, the shadows are moving.
