Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 10- First Fight In High School

Immediately as Seo-joon and his two lackeys entered the bathroom the smell of cigarettes forced its way into Jin-woo's nostrils.

"Damn it, why did this bastard of all people come to this random bathroom to smoke? Didn't we already have to deal with his father just now? How miserable."

Seong said, nervousness and frustration evident in his voice.

"There's three of them, you can take them if they jump you right?"

Jin-woo didn't answer Seong and only stared at Seo-joon with an expressionless face.

Seo-joon placed the cigarette between his lips before he slowly made his way over to Jin-woo. He stopped in front of him then took the cigarette from his mouth and looked down.

He was slightly taller than Jin-woo.

Then, contrary to blowing the smoke in Jin-woo's face, Seo-joon suddenly turned his head to the side and blew. Afterward, he smiled and said with a laugh.

"Haha, freak don't look at me like that, is it because of the cigarette? Right, right, I remember you saying something about hating them back in our middle school Track Club. You were so vulnerable with me that time, don't worry I'll get rid of it now."

Seo-joon wore an apologetic expression, but he held the cigarette by its bud and waved it in front of Jin-woo's face. His words did not match his actions, a common theme for Seo-joon in his arsenal of torment.

"What? You don't believe me when I'm trying to be so considerate?"

Seo-joon said when he saw that Jin-woo was still staring at him coldly. The cigarette he held was still close to Jin-woo's face. The two lackeys at the back who were smoking as well snickered when they saw this.

Seo-joon patted Jin-woo's shoulder while saying in a hurt tone.

"I really mean it Jin, I'll put it out now, okay? Just stick out your tongue."

Seo-joon's pat suddenly turned into him grabbing the back of Jin-woo's head. Jin-woo immediately acted and grabbed Seo-joon's other hand that wanted to burn him with the cigarette.

The two lackeys flicked their cigarettes into the sinks before moving forward to grab Jin-woo.

Jin-woo tried to step back but Seo-joon's hand around the back of his neck wasn't budging.

"Haha, right, a Track prodigy, a Boxing prodigy, a Taekwondo prodigy. You had names like that back in middle school, huh? Mister Athletic! Mister Multitalented! The middle schooler who even outshone his seniors in High School! Haha, but now everyone sees you for what you really are, a freak.

Good thing that bastard is dead, what was his name again? Ah~ Who cares, he was pretty annoying. He was the one who always broke us up before the teachers were called in these situations, right? But not anymore."

Seo-joon grinned as he stared at Jin-woo who had become angry. However, if one was paying attention to Seo-joon's voice one would be able to tell it slightly dropped an octave when he said those last words, while an imperceptible emotion flickered past his eyes.

Jin-woo's body had long begun to tremble at the mention of Seong and his eyes turned red as he glared murderously at Seo-joon. He dropped his boxing stance and suddenly charged at Seo-joon in a blind rage.

"No! Fuck, snap out of it Jin, that's what he wants!"

Seong tried to stop Jin-woo but obviously failed.

Jin-woo pounced on Seo-joon and the two fell onto the ground with Jin-woo on top.

Like a crazed bear mauling a hunter that took a shot at it unprovoked, Jin-woo unleashed a fury of punches at Seo-joon's face.

Unfortunately, Seo-joon was ready and had already guarded his face with his forearms. Worse, the two lackeys took this opportunity to attack an unguarded Jin-woo.

What happened next wasn't a surprise.

Sounds of ferocious beatings echoed out in the bathroom and softly drifted out into the empty hallway.

This was a somewhat secluded bathroom that was some distance away from the Science Lab. On normal days, there would be students passing by this area, but this wasn't a normal day, so not many people were walking by to hear the loud shouts and fighting inside.

Step... Step... Step...

After some time, Mr. Soh, the male nurse who had helped Sol earlier, happened to be coming by here from Science Lab.

As he was passing by the bathroom, he heard a shout and he stopped. However, just then, the bell signaling lunch was almost over went off.

"Ah, already? I haven't even eaten those delicious sandwiches yet!"

Mr. Soh forgot about the shout he heard from the bathroom and turned to hurry to his office.
