episode_0033

The moment Youngchun Daek opened the door of the supermarket and entered,

I saw a shadow waving in the darkness.

“Huh?!!!”

Youngchun Daek looked at Mr. Lim at the sound he made in embarrassment.

Oh my…

If I had just looked ahead, I might not have survived.

A zombie wearing an apron with Mart’s name on it bit the back of Youngchun’s neck.

I’ve seen a lot of people turn into zombies, but seeing someone turn into a zombie right in front of my eyes is a different feeling.

“Kitchen…! Save me…!!!”

Mr. Lim ran out the window and exploded his head, but his neck had already been bitten.

Red blood was flowing out from the neck, which had been neatly bitten off.

But even for a moment.

Slowly the bleeding begins to stop.

Soon, a little blood in the form of thick jelly leaked out, and the jelly blocked the wound area.

Everyone watched with silence.

“… … .”

“That… might be okay…”

“Stop.”

After cutting off Mr. Kim’s nonsense, Mr. Lim held the spear tightly.

“Save me…help me…huh? I’m not bleeding anymore… Are you okay? Ugh….Ugh…!!!!!!!!”

Even as I was speaking, my whole body started shaking.

His teeth chattering, his arms busy stroking his body.

“Cold…cold… Ugh…!!!!”

He stopped moving for a moment and his head fell to the floor.

“Keueh-”

When the zombie made a noise, Mr. Lim’s spear pierced its head.

Puuk

Change is faster than you think.

Within 5 minutes of being bitten, I became a zombie.

“Let’s all relax again and check everything, including the supermarket and the houses we passed on the way.”

“Let’s do that…”

When people went on high alert and started searching the supermarket.

Dayoung grabbed the hem of my clothes.

“…You knew, right?”

There was a hint of fear in Dayoung’s eyes as she looked at me.

*

Dayoung’s acquaintances had something to say at least once.

[Did you have a sister?]

Always sincere and upright,

Since she had the image of a model of eldest children who do not spoil their parents, people naturally thought that Dayoung was the eldest child.

“…I have an older sister.”

Every time that happened, Dayoung always answered like that.

Because she wasn’t the kind of sister I could count on.

immature and impulsive,

Crucially, it was because Dayoung didn’t like her sister very much.

It’s always been like that since I was young.

If he wants something, he gets angry and doesn’t stop crying until he gets it.

Whenever that happened, I was the one who had to act like an adult.

Even if you buy one Yoplait,

My sister rushed over and grabbed the peach first! He took the peach flavor away and Dayoung ate the remaining flavor.

“Still, I’m glad that even Dayoung is mature~”

Those words became a shackle and I couldn’t complain even once.

And that situation did not change much until I became an adult.

[Still, I’m so glad that our Dayoung studied well~]

Because of those words, I couldn’t skip studying while exercising.

[Dayoung, can you go to the supermarket and buy me some milk?]

While my sister was in bed rubbing a strange roller on her face, Dayoung, who was studying, came to run an errand.

‘Why am I living like this…?’

Although Da-young lamented her situation several times, it was not easy for her to change.

He was always the same good boy and endured it.

To Da-young, who lived like that, Han-seong was someone she wanted to be like.

It looked cool to be confident and not worry about what others thought.

When I shouted at my pathetic father, it was so refreshing that I kept bursting out laughing.

‘I feel safe…’

Even though the world has changed so much, I was jealous of my sister who could still smile.

Naturally, Dayoung’s eyes always followed Hanseong.

I was interested in everything he said and did.

“Semsem, well.”

Every word Hanseong spoke was clearly audible.

He said it wasn’t a big deal, but… . It wasn’t so.

People turned into zombies and died before my eyes.

My neighbor whom I had seen for a long time died.

Meanwhile, he just watched the scene from afar.

As if he had completed his quota.

He was different from his father, who held the spear at the forefront.

“…You knew, right?”

“Ah? That one from earlier?”

Hanseong waved his hand as if it was no big deal and continued speaking.

“It’s literally a calculation, right? When I’m in danger, why do I save the life of someone who was in the safest truck and didn’t even warn me?”

“Still…”

Dayoung also knew that what Hanseong said was not wrong.

When a zombie attacks you.

It was a fact that I resented the woman who did not take any action.

However, I also thought that it would be a bit harsh to let him die.

“I think it’s just stupid to be nice when the world is like this, right? What do you think?”

Dayoung, who had suffered from her father’s kindness all her life, could easily sympathize with those words.

In this terrible reality, good deeds were pathetic and impossible.

No, it has been like this since before the world was destroyed.

“That’s right…”

Hanseong shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking.

“Why do you know? Because you feel sorry? Still, life is precious, right?”

“……”

“You have nothing to say, right? Actually, you understand everything rationally, right?”

” We teach that being selfish is bad, but selfish people survive better. Wasn’t it a world where those people were ignoring good people?”

The wealthy owners of most of the commercial properties in the market have never once lowered the monthly rent.

He then handed me a bill worth 10,000 won as pocket money and clicked his tongue for not saying thank you very much.

“That’s right…”

As Dayoung struggled to spit out those words, Hanseong patted her head as if she had done well.

“Dayoung. The world is ruined.”

“Even though I lived a good life in the past, I have a noble soul! I could have taken that kind of comfort… but for now, I’m just searching.”

“Yes…”

“Are you going to die?”

Dayoung shook her head left and right.

“Now, look over there.”

At the place Hanseong pointed, people were seen searching the mart.

Dayoung’s father, Mr. Lim, takes the lead.

Mr. Kim and Mr. Ha follow behind.

The other merchants fell three steps away.

“If a bad accident happens, who will die first? Of course, that won’t happen, but if you imagine it.”

“Dad. I hope not… .”

Dayoung answered that he was her father.

I didn’t want my father dead, but when I thought about it rationally, I did.

“Well, each person may have different thoughts, but I think humans will die the last and the fastest, right? Regardless of your mentality, you have to see if you have the ability.”

“Ah… . I think so.”

“Next, as Dayoung said, I think the type of father who will survive the longest is Ha.”

A person who is reasonably capable but takes care of his or her own safety.

Dayoung’s head nodded at Hanseong’s words.

“Who will you be like?”

After thinking for a while, Dayoung clenched her fists and answered.

“…Oppa.”

Hanseong smiled happily and shook Dayoung’s hair.

“Right? I told you it wasn’t a big deal~”

“Yeah… it wasn’t a big deal.”

“Then let’s get ready to go back.”

As if it was natural, Hanseong held Dayoung’s hand and walked away.

I collected arrows one by one from the heads of zombies lying on the road and headed home.

It wasn’t that difficult to pull out the arrow because the head had already been hit with a spear to confirm the kill.

Every time she saw the arrows piercing her head, Dayoung remembered the back of him shooting a bow.

‘…It was cool.’

It was a scene that seemed like something out of a movie.

Dayoung added strength to the hands she was holding.

“Oppa!!!”

Even when Nayoung found Hanseong and ran to him, his hand did not loosen.

“It’s all over, let’s get ready to go.”

“Yes!!! But… Dayoung, are you going too?”

“…Why?”

Rather than being words of joy that everything went well, they were full of regret.

In response to the question that was said to be impossible, Nayoung answered that possibility.

“…No, if you go too, Mom and Dad…”

“Then you should stay.”

“…I’m not good at that kind of thing.”

There was nothing wrong with what Hanseong said.

Even a person called sister is selfish like this.

No, because I was selfish, I lived happily ever after and smiled.

“Then what about me?”

“You are meticulous… and good at sports… .”

Although it was a tongue-in-cheek remark, in the end it was a request to be vicariously filial to my parents.

“So you’re telling me to sacrifice myself for my parents?

“No, why don’t you say that again…!”

Hanseong separated the two with a faint smile.

“First, pack your bags. The later it gets, the more difficult it becomes to leave.”

“Yes!!!”

“Okay…”

The two sisters went up to the room with their brows furrowed.

*

“First, pack all your clothes first!”

“Yes!!!”

As soon as the word ‘clothes’ came out, his eyes lit up and he picked out clothes from all over the room, quickly filling up a bag.

And then I open my bag to pack another bag.

“Hey… up to one bag.”

“…Huh? really? Then it’s too little…”

The moment a curse was about to come out of my mouth, Nayoung answered first.

“I understand!!! One!”

“Okay… one.”

I filled a bag like that and tied it like a turtle shell.

Contrary to Na-young, Da-young’s luggage was simple.

It’s barely enough to fill a small backpack.

Probably just one or two simple clothes and underwear.

The size of the burden may be an expression of his will to throw away his good life in this house.

“Are you okay with that?”

“Yes. This is enough.”

“Good job.”

When I gently stroked his head, he did not avoid my touch this time either.

Now it was really time to leave, so my sister and I went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Lim.

Mr. Lim seemed to understand the situation when he saw the luggage on our backs.

He stopped what he was doing with other people for a moment and ran straight to us with his wife.

“Do you want to go together?”

“Yes…”

“Well thought out, young people should live with young people.”

“Yes…”

Dayoung still seemed to feel a little guilty.

He lowered his head and silently spat out an answer.

“…Mom, Dad. Can’t we go together?”

Until the end, Nayoung could not let go of her regrets and held on to her parents, shedding tears.

“Now that we’ve finally found our place, where are we going? Hang out with young people. If Dayoung finds a good guy, introduce him to me.”

“Even my mother is stubborn…”

“Now it’s almost like you’re getting married, but do you still want to be immature? Stop crying and take care of the west side of the river!”

“…No, what is the West?”

Until the end, the sisters’ parents could not shake off that nature.

It was a fortunate thing.

Just thinking about living in the same house with people like that makes me get goosebumps all over my body.

“Please take good care of our daughters.”

“Don’t worry~!”

The moment I answered with a bright smile and turned around to leave.

Dayoung carefully held my arm.

“Oppa, can you tell his parents the address of the hiding place? So that you can come back if something goes wrong?”

“Is that so? I didn’t think of that. Just wait a moment and I’ll talk to you.”

I approached Mr. Lim and quietly whispered in his ear.

‘Because I don’t trust people. ‘It’s a hiding place, do you understand?’

‘Yes… please take care of your daughters.’

Mr. Lim bowed his head and participated in the act.

“Thank you. If anything happens, I will come see you.”

“Yes~ Stay healthy!!!”

“Dad… Mom… I’m going!!!”

“ Take care…!!! Don’t worry about us!”

“…Dad, don’t sacrifice too much. Got it?”

“Yes. I will definitely keep in mind what Dayoung said.”

“I haven’t been able to listen to it in my entire life. This is the last time, so don’t disappoint my daughter.”

“Okay~ Hey, go~! When it gets dark, accidents happen!”

Until the end of the market road, the two sisters turned their heads frequently to look at their parents.
