The classroom is a dull hum of afternoon lethargy, dust motes dancing in sharp slats of light. Then the door groans open. A girl staggers in, a white dress stained a violent red, her movements stiff and wrong. She collapses. Screams shred the quiet. You're pinned to your seat, pulse thundering. The teacher and students rush forward—but as they reach her, she twists, latching onto Heeseung's best friend. The bite is a wet snap. His friend's eyes cloud over, turning. Heeseung stands utterly still, breath trapped, watching his nightmare made real. His eyes find yours, wide and desperate.
