For things to go wrong, they have to go strangely wrong.

It really doesn’t matter when other people die, so why does this person keep getting noticed?

Even if I thought about it, it was something I could not understand.

I thought he might be something similar to a sociopath, but seeing how he empathizes with Sohyun, it doesn’t seem like that’s necessarily the case.

Wouldn’t it be better for my life if I just killed him?

Normally, I wouldn’t know it, but it wasn’t a very welcome thing to have unreasonable feelings about the zombie outbreak.

Should I kill him?

If you just leave it alone, it will die.

“There is a lot of food at home, so send me your home address. Don’t leave the house, and when I call you, come running out.”

“G…Really? But then, won’t you die too?”

“If you hit a zombie with a car, you’ll die, right… I live in Gangwon-do, so it’s okay. Close.”

“Thank you!!! I cook well, and I don’t eat much!”

“Okay, so get dressed and wait.”

Still, I received Sohyun’s home address.

Chuncheon is approximately 30 minutes from here.

I hope the roads aren’t a mess yet.

I decided to go save Sohyeon, but I had no intention of giving up the gun.

When my reason decides

Sohyun < Because I was sure it was a gun.

Guns are important.

Because there is nothing more precious than combat power in the face of a difficult world.

Let's get a gun and go to the address Sohyeon sent us.

So I quickly picked up the child and returned home.

…But how will he react when he sees two women tied up?

Should I scream?

Will he urinate and cry like Aram did a little while ago?

I was curious about that, but I also thought that I didn't want to be hated by Sohyun.

That's strange.

But it's impossible not to be hated the moment you show that side of yourself.

While thinking about this and that, I drove the car and arrived at the school I had been looking for.

Something different from what I thought happened.

“Quickly, quickly load it!!!”

A man in military uniform was shouting at other young soldiers.

Soldiers are loading cargo into two-and-a-half trucks.

… They were stealing my gun.

If this happens, I'm leaving…

The soldiers may have already been equipped with live ammunition, but all the magazines are attached to the guns.

As I was quietly watching, the person who appeared to be the executive who had been yelling approached my car and knocked on the window.

“What are you doing here now? Please return home quickly.”

“…No, because my younger brother is living alone. I have to go pick them up… There were soldiers there so I stopped the car to ask about the situation.”

“Where does your younger brother live?”

“Chuncheon.”

The soldier's expression brightened a little at my words.

“Gangwon-do is still considered safe. They say there is a huge uproar with zombies in Seoul, the metropolitan area, and other major cities… We are also in the process of dispatching guns.”

“…I see, I hope you're safe. Thank you.”

“Sergeant Choi! It's all loaded. Get on it quickly!”

“Yes!”

“Well then, I hope you bring your younger brother safely and stay safe at home.”

“Sergeant, please take care of yourself too.”

That's how my gun was taken.

Do you plan to take it to Seoul and spread it among the citizens to use reserve forces?

Most men in our country know how to use guns.

I looked around the warehouse to see if there were any items the soldiers had missed, but the warehouse was empty and I couldn't find any boxes.

My gun…

In the end, I guess I need to practice my bow more…

The gun has already gone over the water.

[Sohyun]

I heard that Gangwon-do is still safe, so why is this kid calling again?

Did something happen?

“Why?”

“Hmm… Ugh… That. I'm just scared… Are you sure you're coming?”

“Yes. I'm on my way.”

A voice full of tears.

If you hear the news that zombies have appeared in the world, that reaction would be normal.

“The world won’t be destroyed, right? Right…?”

“I think the world will be destroyed. You won’t die.”

“G, really?”“Yes. I have so much food.”

“…How much?”

“Enough to last for 100 years? If it goes bad, you have to farm.”

“…Really?”

“If you don’t believe me, don’t.”

“Oh, no, I believe it, I really believe it!!! I believe everything you say!”

I said that I would just show it with my eyes if I didn't believe it, but Sohyun clung to me desperately, as if it sounded like she was just leaving me alone.

The title that used to be called ‘uncle’ had suddenly changed to ‘oppa’.

Your voice isn't bad.

Well, the guy was cute in his own way, so it was okay.

“They say Gangwon-do is still safe, so there will be almost no zombies. I feel safe.”

“Well, can you still not hang up the phone?”

“…Do whatever you want.”

I get bored while driving anyway.

It's not a bad thing to have a chattering voice next to you.

I actually said there was no need to hang up the phone, but no word was said.

“You told me not to hang up, but you didn’t say anything?”

“I will!!! Uh… uh. So…”

“If you don’t have anything to say, you can just leave.”

“Well… I ate tteokbokki today with the money you gave me. Do you know why rose tteokbokki is so popular these days? I wanted to try that at least once… … .”

The roads were deserted, as if the good citizens of our country were truly following the government's instructions and hiding in their homes.

If you step on it, it goes straight as you step on it.

Using Sohyun's chattering sounds as music, I raced towards Sohyun's house without any hesitation.

Originally, it would have taken 30 minutes, but after about 20 minutes, I had already arrived in front of Sohyun's house.

“So… I was originally going to eat chicken tomorrow, but… I guess I can't eat it under the current circumstances, right?”

“Come out. Arrived.”

“G, really? Yes, I’ll jump down right now!”

Even before I hung up the phone, I heard the sound of Sohyun walking downstairs.

The sound of someone running down the stairs rang through the phone a few times, and Sohyun appeared at the front door, carrying a bag as big as a turtle shell.

“Uncle!!!”

I rolled down the window and waved, and he came running towards me, yelling ‘uncle’.

No, why is it you again this time?

When we talked on the phone, he kept calling me ‘oppa’, but as soon as I saw his face, he changed his title to ‘uncle’, which was a bit shocking.

“Ride in the back.”

Sohyun rushed over, opened the backseat door, and pushed the bag in.

He soon gets into the car and slams the door.

“Uncle…”

“…You said it was Oppa earlier, but now you're all alive?”

“Oh, no, oppa! If I like my oppa, I’ll call him oppa!”

“… Then go to Oppa.”

“Yes! Oppa!!!”

I skillfully got out of the car and headed home again.

While observing Sohyun through the rear-view mirror from time to time, our eyes met several times.

It was cute how he smiled every time that happened.

…It's cuter than I thought.

When I sent the video, I didn't really get the impression that it was cute because of the stiff expression and body language.

Seeing his bright smile changed my mind a little.

There are people whose expressions often change when they smile, and Sohyun was just like that.

“Do you know what I wrote?”

“Yes…! He said he was buying that girl…”

At my words, Sohyun met my eyes clearly as if she had made a promise.

Since I saved her life, does that mean I can sacrifice her as a virgin?

“I’m fine too!”

It was cute to see him say that, but it didn't really spark any sexual desire.

The intention of saying this was not to ‘offer up your virginity’, but to convey that I am not a very good person.

“There are two people in my house who I contacted at that time…”

“Ah… You saved them too.”

“…It's probably a lot more irritating than you think.”

“It’s okay!”

It remains to be seen whether it will really be okay.

*

Perhaps thanks to thorough soundproofing, the screams of the two tied women were not heard when they arrived at the yard.

He may have already fallen asleep because he was exhausted from screaming so loudly.

“Well, we’ve arrived~!”

Sohyun's eyes, which had been wide open from the moment she saw the thick concrete wall of our house, did not know how to close yet.

“Oh, that’s very reassuring…”

“Right?”

Thick and high exterior walls, surveillance cameras installed throughout the exterior walls.

They even made a ladder so you could climb up the outer wall and shoot.

Of course, now it has become bow shooting instead of gun shooting…

Seeing her surprised like that, I felt like I wanted to show off even more, so I took Sohyun to the warehouse.

“This is a food warehouse.”

“Huh…! Awesome…!!!”

“Here, just electronics and clothes.”

“Wow… there are so many…!”

Since the clothes were filled with things that were embarrassing for Sohyun to see, I quickly closed the door.

“I won’t starve to death…!”

“Right?”

“But… how did you prepare this much?”

“Hmm… It's a secret.”

“Yes…!”

Sohyun didn't ask any more questions when I told her it was a secret.

Quick-witted, kind, and cute,

I thought it was a good idea to bring him in.

As I was smiling happily, Sohyun walked over and hugged me.

“…Thank you. Oppa.”

He seemed relieved and relaxed while being held in my arms.

After casually stroking its head a few times, it boldly stuck its head out with its eyes tightly closed.

Clearly, that posture is like asking someone to kiss you.

The way he awkwardly stuck out his lips seemed more like a kiss than a kiss.

Of course, I had no intention of doing both.

I touched her lips with my hand and took Sohyun into the room.

“Oppa!!!”

I'm screaming out of embarrassment, but I don't know if I can do that even after seeing the two women.
