Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 80- He Came Back!



Chapter 80- He Came Back!

It took a few minutes for Jin-woo to reach the Broadcasting Club room, and his heartbeat could almost be heard if one listened closely. However, Jin-woo wasn't sure whether this was from excitement or exhaustion. Perhaps it was both.

After breathing in and releasing a breath to calm down, Jin-woo knocked on the door. He then waited for a moment before he heard rustling sounds, and then it was suddenly opened.

Jin-woo came face-to-face with a face he had only seen on the grainy monitor. He could tell Ah-yong was beautiful then, but now while she stood in front of him, he realized the monitor hadn't done her justice.

Ah-yong's black hair which reached past her shoulders was tied into a ponytail, giving one a clear view of her dimples that showed as she smiled at Jin-woo. Her eyes squinted into crescent moons as a result of that smile as well.

"Jin-woo?"

Hearing the familiar voice that tickled his ear, Jin-woo came to his senses before saying with a nod and a smile.

"Yeah, it's me."

Ah-yong getting confirmation had her smile grow even bigger before she stepped forward intending to hug Jin-woo. However, Jin-woo hurriedly stopped her saying.

"Ah, wait, I'm covered in sweat so it might not be a good idea to hug me right now."

Ah-yong took a closer look at Jin-woo and indeed she saw large beads of sweat forming on his forehead with a few wet patches on his P.E. shirt.

"Then I'll just settle for a handshake for now."

Ah-yong said with a smile still on her face as she extended her hand.

Seong, who was leaning against the wall nearby, clicked his tongue upon seeing the missed opportunity.

Jin-woo ignored him and after putting the gun in his utility belt, he wiped his hand on his P.E. shorts and shook Ah-yong's hand.

While shaking Jin-woo's hand, Ah-yong finally glanced at his arm in the sling and asked worriedly.

"What happened to your arm?"

"I'm fine, it's just dislocated."

Jin-woo said dismissively but Ah-yong shook her head and said.

"Look how much blood there is on your arm, there should be a large cut on your shoulder. Not to mention slight blood loss, if you don't get it treated it might become infected."

Letting go of Ah-yong's hand, Jin-woo touched his shoulder with a finger and responded.

"I'll get it treated don't worry, but I have to escort you back first."

"You're the one who's exhausted while having a dislocated shoulder, why are you asking if I'm okay?"

Ah-yong then held Jin-woo's arm and continued to help him walk.

Meanwhile, Seong was standing off to the side, his eyes and mouth wide open in shock. He pointed at Jin-woo as he passed with Ah-yong, but Jin-woo's face reddened as he shot him a warning glare.

Seong remembered Jin-woo's threat from before and didn't dare utter a word, but his stunned expression already conveyed most of what he wanted to say.

As the three youths continued to the ground floor, faint snickers could be heard echoing in the hallway at certain times. However, only Jin-woo could hear it, and each time he did he would feel embarrassed.

In truth, Jin-woo was making an empty threat. He was too exhausted both mentally and physically to use his abilities, even his auto aim seemed to have disappeared. If not for this, he would have long followed through with his threat and let Seong walk around stark naked.

Sounds of glass cracking echoed out under Jin-woo and Ah-yong's feet as they reached the stair landing just before the last flight of stairs. After passing that last flight of stairs, they turned the corner and headed to the cafeteria.

However, Jin-woo suddenly said.

"I still have to help escort the others on the west wing so I can't stay."

"You still want to move around in your condition?"

Ah-yong said with a shocked look on her face when she heard Jin-woo's words.

"This is the last thing I have to do, then I can rest."

Ah-yong hesitated for a moment but then nodded.

"Okay, I won't stop you, but you should at least rest for a couple of minutes."

Jin-woo nodded in agreement, and at that moment they reached the double metal doors of the cafeteria.

A female student was seen peeking out of the uncracked window of the right door. When she saw Ah-yong and Jin-woo coming she turned and yelled at the other students inside the cafeteria.

"He came back!"

Jin-woo could faintly hear the girl's shout and the subsequent commotion that happened inside the cafeteria, but that type of welcome made his heart stir with nervousness. He had already decided not to care about what others thought of him and had even mentally prepared for when everyone started hating him after they found out he was somewhat at fault.

But despite that this nervousness was still going to be there.

Jin-woo released an internal sigh before one of the metal doors was open, allowing him and Ah-yong to enter the cafeteria.

However, after entering, Jin-woo saw that aside from the forty or so students and five teachers, he saw several other familiar faces.

Mai-sun, Ye-jun, Seo-joon, and his two lackeys. Even those three students who were with him in the security room were there, with the male student holding the drawstring bag he had left behind.

Jin-woo had never expected to see them here, so he was more than taken aback.
