Chapter 81 – Forever (2)

Forever (2)

Jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-

Hasty footsteps constantly knocking on the narrow infirmary.

Nam Do-yoon, who was quietly staring outside the agricultural college, eventually frowned slightly.

“… It’s noisy, Junki.”

At Nam Do-yoon’s scolding, the footsteps that had been circling the infirmary at high speed stop.

A red-hot face and a face with all its wrinkles frowning like chest pains.

“Fuck the dog! I don’t know what the hell you’re doing right now, but you look like you’re still?!”

Sung Joon-gi pointed his finger at the window and sprayed saliva in all directions.

“The white one was kidnapped, the white one! But right now, it shouldn’t be for us to open our nogarinas like this, you bastard!”
“…”

In response to that active volcanic anger, Nam Do-yoon silently leaned against his window sill and stared out of the agriculturist again.

“… I can’t pinpoint exactly where it disappeared.”
“Hey, you fucking bastard! Fuck the specifics- fuck it or mess with it-! You have to go everywhere you can go once—”
“… It’s Junki.”

His name blocks Sung Joon-ki from pouring out uncontrollable anger that does not subside easily.

“We haven’t caught the two people who escaped yet, and we haven’t completely recovered the survivors of the engineering college they left behind.”
“Haa -that’s not a problem now, it’s much more than that.”
“It’s Junki.”

Soon after, Nam Do-yoon cut off his words once more and met Sung Joon-gi with his two slightly sunken eyes.

“White teeth and the remaining survivors are equally precious.”
“…”
“You know very well that a person’s life has no special advantage.”
“…”

Seong Joon-gi’s chin trembled incessantly as if he was enduring something.

Haaa-

Soon after, Sung Joon-gi, who had not been able to get out easily despite all the hard work, sighed and opened his mouth to Nam Do-yoon again.

“… Then you will protect the agricultural department. Even if I searched all over the university, the white one would—”
“No.”
“Ah really—why—!”
“Jungi, you have to keep helping the engineering college survivors and our kids mix well. There are a lot of kids who haven’t woken up yet, so there must be a lot of kids who are waiting for the engineering survivors.”
“… Can’t you fuck a little and be a bit territorial? Think of the blows we suffered.”
“Of course not.”
“… Ha- why?”
“The direct cause is Lee Yoo-jin and Jang Deok-gu, and the remaining survivors are innocent.”
“Lee Yu-jin, Jang Deok-gu, and the rest of the survivors are all engineering survivors, so there’s nothing wrong with them.”
“Lee Yu-jin and Jang Deok-gu could choose, but the remaining survivors didn’t have a choice.”

Nam Do-yoon continued talking to Seong Joon-gi, who calmed down a bit after a long conversation.

“What is wrong with those who are dragged around without choosing anything?”
“… Fuck yeah- apart from the survivors, then why are Lee Yoo-jin and Jang Deok-gu these two bitches like that? I heard from the kids that you trusted those bitches again and ran away because you were beaten up?”
“We need an antidote for them. You know that.”
“Ah shitaaaaal! Doyun-ah, the reason why the kids collapsed in the first place was because of the poison they sprayed! Then, if you kill only those bastards, won’t that fucking power come off?”
“Are you sure?”
“What?”
“Can you be sure, if you kill those two people, the remaining poison on the fallen children will disappear?”
“…”
“We’re not gambling like odds and ends, Seong Joon-gi.”

Haaa-

The more we talked, the more it felt like something that couldn’t be resolved continued to build up.

But what’s even more fucked up is that Sung Joon-gi also thinks Nam Do-yoon’s words are safe and correct.

“… Besides, making one or two bad choices doesn’t give you the right to kill those people.”
“Ah- please Do-yoon-“
“Know. I know what you want to say, and I never said it with that thought in mind. I do it because this is definitely a better way to go to the end.”

Think about it a little longer, Junki.

“If you were a survivor, which camp would you choose? A camp where everything can end as it is with one or two wrong choices, and a camp with another opportunity.”
“…”
“Everyone wants a society that is tolerant of themselves. Everyone imagines themselves in the worst situation and fears what comes after. To show such people that one mistake can cost someone their life is to make a very irreparable mistake.”

Anyone who has seen it will surely think so.

“… Ah- you can never do anything wrong. Then, if something goes wrong, don’t let anyone know.”

Severe laws and punishments cause even greater threats and absurdities.

“… It’s so damn complicated.”

Thud-!

Seong Joon-gi, who had his back pressed against the wall of the infirmary, nervously hit the back of his head against the wall.

“… Haha- it’s fucking difficult, really.”

Soon after, Sung Joon-gi let out a long sigh as he stared at the ceiling.

“If the world is screwed, wouldn’t it be better to just kill the overflowing zombies so damn hard and stick together with the same people?”

Why the hell does this shit keep happening…

Nam Do-yoon replied with a bitter smile at Sung Joon-gi’s whisper.

“… All the filters that were working normally in society have stopped. That’s why the guys with reckless power without any standards run amok as if it were their own world.”

Haha-.

Sung Joon-gi, who let his heavy breath hit the ceiling again, asked Nam Do-yoon with helpless eyes.

“So—what’s your next plan?”
“… After clearing the engineering college completely, let’s secure it step by step, starting with areas with a high probability that people are still alive.”
“… Dormitory?”
“Yes, the dormitory.”

Nam Do-yoon looked at the window that illuminated the outside of the agricultural school again and chanted quietly.

“If you search one by one like that, you will surely find the one who kidnapped White.”
“… Okay. But maybe he’s like a guy who studied engineering—”
“It’s Junki. I have absolutely no intention of leaving the man who kidnapped Whitei alone.”
“… Okay.”

Kiki-Ik-

Sung Joon-gi, who nodded briefly and opened the door to the infirmary, hesitated and stopped again.

“… I’m sorry, Doyun-ah.”
“…”
“This happened because I couldn’t protect my white teeth well, but you’re whining at you, who weren’t there then.”
“… No. Because of you, he could have just kidnapped White and ran away. Thanks to you, the other kids who were with me at the time were safe.”
“… A very annoying bastard. Fuck you, later become a member of the National Assembly or the president with this. Fuck I’ll take a fucking picture of you.”
“… Get out of here, you bastard. Because it’s fucking cheesy.”
“… Sick.”

Thud-!

Namdo Yoon smiled lightly and looked at the door of the infirmary that was completely closed, then leaned against the window sill and stood up.

Swoop-

Carefully stroking the desk in the infirmary, he quietly sat on the chair Cha Ha-yan had always been waiting for.

Kiik-

The view briefly lowers with the sound of old springs.

And a small cup on the desk that comes fully into that lowered view.

Rustle –

Nam Do-yoon carefully lifted a bag of coffee mix from the cup.

Ugh-

A bag of coffee mix lightly floated out of his hand with a low sound.

Soon, the bag of coffee mix that had been floating in the air slowly began to rotate in the air.

“…”

Nam Do-yoon stared at the bag spinning around himself and bit his lip hard.

… I was complacent.

I made such an absurd mistake that I can only say that I was complacent.

In a zombie-occupied university, and in engineering.

Even when he saw such intense human cruelty, he thought human wickedness all too easily.

“… Fuck.”

Nam Do-yoon’s trembling curse words that no one will hear.

Nam Do-yoon continued to glare at her spinning coffee mix, thinking of her disappearing.

I thought of the kidnapper, whom I did not know by name or face.

‘Kyaaaaah!

Cha Ha-yan’s scream hit his ear so vividly just by thinking about it.

My chin naturally trembled at the thought of being so dirty and resentful that followed.

He thought, desperately suppressing that rage, a rage that seemed impossible to control the moment he was caught off guard.

… Excluding assumptions that make no sense as much as possible- let’s think plainly.

First of all, the guy’s purpose was only Cha Ha-Yan.

The reason why he came to the College of Agriculture in the first place must have been for the clear purpose of being Cha Ha-yan.

In other words, he was the one who knew that Cha Hayan was alive at Banseok University’s College of Agriculture.

Second, he kidnapped Cha Hayan and disappeared from the spot.

Using the hostage as a weapon, he didn’t take away the nest or food, he just kidnapped Cha Ha-yan and disappeared like the wind.

That’s- if you add a little flesh to your home-

It means that he already has food and a warm shelter, a place to return to within a short distance.

So, putting all these plausible assumptions together, there was only one conclusion.

He’s still at Banseok University, no—

It’s inside.

“…”

As soon as I repeat that fact, the coffee mix stops rotating and starts shaking.

No-

Should be in this

Pop-!

At the end of the continuous whispers—

The trembling coffee mix suddenly spewed out brown powder in all directions and exploded as it were.

──────.

And as if time had stopped, countless brown powders stopped exploding in all directions and remained fixed in the air.

Namdo Yoon felt the red energy covering his whole body and quietly took each of the powders into his eyes.

Unconditionally – stay in here.

So that-.

Booth’s –

Brown powder slowly fluttering over the stuffed body along with the fading red energy.

Nam Do-yoon kept the brown powder in his eyes for a very long time.
