Chapter Index

    I felt somehow lucky.

    That’s right, here. There were a lot of clothes for just one piece.

    It wasn’t the type of department store I was thinking of, but there was no place to sell food…

    Still, it was nice to have so many things.

    In addition, many electronic products were sold here on the second floor.

    “Let’s rob the gold and silver room and take some electronics.”

    “Why is that?”

    “You don’t know? I wonder if I can use it.”

    “… ?”

    Noh Chang-hoon made an expression that asked what he was talking about.

    I felt a little mortified. What if we couldn’t use electricity at all?

    There were endless ways to use electricity. I also heard that the generator and the power plant were in operation.

    I thought it would be useful if I kept a few of them.

    But Noh Chang-hoon’s expression was strange.

    This time, he looks like he’s talking nonsense again…

    “You can quickly charge a camera or laptop, right?”

    “Ah. Was that it?”

    “… Then what were you thinking?”

    “Washing machine or something like that?”

    “Are you saying I’m crazy and asking you to take something like that!”

    It was unfair.

    How many people do you think are so stupid and stupid that you would think that way?

    I was just planning on finding a Polaroid camera and heading back home.

    I don’t know if they sell it at electronics stores.

    Even if that isn’t the case, how good would it be to find something like a USB?

    I can collect various materials and organize them after the situation is over.

    After giving such a long explanation, Noh Chang-hoon took a deep breath and spoke.

    “Thank goodness.”

    “This bastard… ”

    My hands were itching.

    If I could, I would hit him right on the head.

    I held back because I was nice. In the first place, if something happens, we have to fight against each other…

    So, I calmed down and headed to Geumeunbang.

    The Geumeunbang room was bigger than I thought. To be honest, I haven’t seen much of a place as big as Geumeunbang.

    I don’t know if there was a separate store outside, but if it was inside a department store, it was like a school cafeteria.

    “Wow… ”

    I couldn’t see it clearly because of the blood and flesh, but what was inside was real.

    I’m not particularly well versed in accessories, but still.

    This sparkling gold and diamonds were real.

    Plus, there were many different types.

    Coupling. Couple necklace. Couple rocket. You said it was just a matter of picking them all?

    “… ”

    Greed crept up.

    I wondered if I should at least bring a bunch of money rings.

    okay. You’ve been through a lot during this time. I don’t know if there’s anything worth paying for something like this…

    Still, it was perfect for filling my vanity.

    “Changhun.”

    “Why.”

    “Soldiers shouldn’t openly kick things like this, right?”

    “No way.”

    “Is it okay for civilians to openly criticize people like this?”

    “Uh huh.”

    Noh Chang-hoon immediately stopped him.

    Since something might become troublesome, I was told to calmly take one ring with me and leave.

    Honestly, I agreed. They say there is no problem since it is an ownerless item…

    It was obvious that if I carried it around for no reason and it got stolen, it would be a pain in the ass.

    “I saw that in your novel. Men would grope a woman while she was sleeping and steal everything she had hidden and throw it away.”

    “Huh.”

    “It’s annoying and I don’t want to do something like that, so let’s just bring a wedding ring. Are they really going to steal my wedding ring?”

    “… no way. And I remember one thing wrong.”

    “Huh? What is it?”

    “In that scene, it’s not just the woman sleeping alone, but the hunter kills everyone in the group and takes away the money and the woman.”

    “Ah. I remembered.”

    I liked that scene more than I expected.

    Usually, zombie apocalypse novels do not describe such tragic details well.

    In the first part, there is a bloody fight with zombies, but in the second part, where a group of survivors go, it turns into a political drama.

    That’s why I really liked this little novel.

    It had an apocalyptic feel to it because politics was left to others and the main character came up with a strategy and did various things.

    I’m having a hard time with just one canned food. It was very fun.

    … I never thought I would be like that though.

    “But… ”

    “… ”

    “Which is best?”

    Noh Chang-hoon did not answer.

    Instead, he looked at me as if asking me to choose.

    I was silent. You must have experience fitting coupling rings.

    When I thought about it, neither this guy nor I had any experience in dating.

    I have no dating experience, but I’m thinking of getting a couple ring.

    It was literally like running without even walking.

    Thinking that there were no such idiots, I grabbed the baton tightly.

    “Let’s break it down and think about it.”

    “That’s a good idea.”

    “If you do one, two, three, I will hit you, so be careful.”

    “Huh?”

    “What is it? What are you doing?”

    Noh Chang-hoon was cutting something with scissors.

    I blinked.

    I couldn’t figure out why it was sticking to the wall and cutting the line.

    But my curiosity was quickly resolved.

    This was because Noh Chang-hoon, who suddenly slammed his fist into the glass, had a smile on his face.

    “What, when did you learn that?”

    “From criminals.”

    “Oh?”

    “It’s a joke. I learned it from CEO Geum Eun-bang. Anywhere other than here.”

    “Ah.”

    It was a good thing anyway.

    If the crime prevention buzzer rings, I get very tired.

    So, I relaxed and prepared to hit the glass.

    Fortunately, the glass shattered shortly afterwards.

    I was prepared because I thought it was bulletproof glass, but it turned out to be weaker than I thought.

    After breaking it down like that, my hair felt cleaner than I expected.

    “Hey. Changhun.”

    “Why.”

    “Usually when it is exhibited here… So, if I were the president of Geum Eun Bang.”

    “Okay.”

    Noh Chang-hoon hit another glass.

    Then he started rummaging for something.

    I was a little angry. No, to be honest.

    No matter how many people say we disguise ourselves as each other.

    Coupling. I also came to get a ring to use as a wedding ring.

    So you should listen to my opinion, but you’re not listening and you’re doing that.

    “Lee Ye-ji, you are simple.”

    “… So?”

    “I was going to ask you to choose the most expensive ring, right?”

    “… ! How to do that!?”

    “Ta-da.”

    Noh Chang-hoon carefully took out a box.

    And when I opened the box, a pair of rings appeared.

    The ring was very beautiful.

    It seemed to be made using silver, gold, and diamonds…

    “This… It’s a bird?”

    “New.”

    “No, it’s unprofitable… ”

    Gold twigs.

    In silver, a bird with one wing.

    A bird’s eye with diamonds.

    Even at just a glance, I could tell that it was made with great precision.

    “The most expensive items should be displayed alone.”

    “… How much?”

    “It’s better not to think about that.”

    Noh Chang-hoon laughed as if he was sick of it.

    Still, since I was smart, I showed him the price list.

    And I could tell. It’s expensive.

    There were only 6 zeros and the first digit was 7.

    In fact, rather than leaving it for sale, it would have been nice to say it was just for the purpose of attracting attention.

    “I’ll put it in for you. Give me your hand.”

    “Uh, yes.”

    It was no big deal.

    It was just a matter of putting rings on each other’s ring fingers to disguise themselves.

    It was possible, and it wasn’t a big deal.

    Still, my hands were shaking. It was natural since this had never happened before.

    Noh Chang-hoon smiled slightly, took my hand, and put a ring on my ring finger.

    Then he immediately put the ring on.

    “I wish I could just wash my hands.”

    “That’s right. Changhoon, don’t you carry water?”

    “Drinkable water is used for washing.”

    “Of course, that’s true. But, where are you going?”

    Noh Chang-hoon asked.

    I didn’t answer.

    My heart was pounding strangely.

    So, it wasn’t a feeling of love or anything like that.

    To be honest, Noh Chang-hoon wasn’t as desperate as me.

    Unlike me, whose life is in danger if I don’t immediately prove that I have a lover, Noh Chang-hoon is not like that.

    So there was relatively little need to go out of your way to fit a couple ring.

    Honestly, if he didn’t help me, I was planning on finding the ring by myself.

    Looking at my work today, I felt like I had been recognized a lot.

    It was nice to be treated as if we had been together for a long time, even though we were apart for a few weeks.

    Maybe it’s because I’ve never received recognition in my life, but I was really happy with just these little things.

    It’s not like he has any illusions about me.

    Noh Chang-hoon knew the best about me as a human being. In this world, he is the friend who knows me best.

    When I thought of receiving such a gift from such a friend, my eyes naturally became moist.

    So I said I would go to the bathroom for a while and left.

    If you cry because you are moved, if he sees it, it will create a useless illusion.

    You might hear strange things like I’m crying because I like it.

    So, it was better to go to the bathroom and cry.

    There might even be a zombie inside…

    It didn’t seem like it would be that difficult to disguise it.

    “Well… ?”

    “Well, you idiot.”

    The female zombie’s head was broken and roughly hung on the bathroom door like laundry.

    If Noh Chang-hoon came looking for me, I planned to blame him for not being able to deal with it because I was so surprised by that zombie.

    If something comes from above while you’re doing your business, wouldn’t you be nervous, even if it’s because you’re scared?

    It seemed like Noh Chang-hoon would have passed on like that anyway.

    I’ll just laugh and move on.

    So I squatted down for a while and cried.

    I never thought I would meet someone so precious in my life.

    I never dreamed that I would have someone as precious as my family.

    Because I’ve never had a proper friend.

    I was just a friend who joined in once in a while.

    Since one person is not enough to play AOS, he wants to play with me.

    They said they would give me game items if I added them as friends, so send me a message…

    So, I never had to experience something like this again, and it felt very precious.

    So, after sobbing for a while, I wiped my tears properly and went out of the bathroom.
