Early morning by 6:00, there was a delivery truck driving to Seoul, South Korea. "Man, I want to see what's inside those boxes that boss wanted us to deliver."- delivery man #1 said.
"Yeah. I'm really curious since they all said that it was a secret and it has to be hidden from the people, thus the boss said that it's dangerous."- delivery man #2 said.
"Aigo, they didn't even give further information to us. Tsh.....oohh!!! Wa......watch out!!!!"- delivery man #1 yelled.
The second man was turning his wheels to the other side and the truck hits that cement post. "Aish!!!! Why would a cutie little cat crosses the road at this early morning?!"- the #2 complained.
They went outside to check the cat that is only on the other side of the road, maybe hunting for food.
"Tsh... it's a stray cat. Poor thing. Wait, why does this door open?"- #1 commented as they both closed it and went away.
On the other side of the road on where the cat was smelling and looking for food, a little bit away from its side, there was a medium-sized cylinder bottle that the chemical inside were all spread out on the dirty areas of the canal, there were rodents like mouses all over the area that is eating dirty leftover foods before those pests eat the foods....the chemical was already absorbed by the food.
The clueless hungry mouse eats those foods over the area, but...
The mouses suddenly squeak so loud and it catches the cat's attention. The cat was now observing the mouse that is moving off the road, but then.............the mouse suddenly collapsed, but it still moving a bit, the cat took the chance to went near to it and eats the mouse.
When the cat finished the mouse, it went off the road to look for another food. But, its visions turned blurry as it walks by the city. On the bus, there was a high school girl that is waiting for the bus stop near her favorite bakeshop.
She dropped off the shop to buy snacks. She was now walking down the road where meters away from Gongbin High.
While she was singing along the song from her earphones, she suddenly encountered a cat that is walking dizzily and about to collapsed but she luckily catches it. "Oh poor kitty."- she caressed it and it suddenly shakes. "Omo....what's wrong???"- she panicked and placed the cat back on the ground and started to search for wounds or any scratches but she can't see a thing.
She opened her phone and started to dial a vet number. While ringing, the cat mysteriously meows. She ends up the call and holds the cats. And....it bites her wrist, and she thought it was a normal bite from a cat but it's not.
"Meeooooowwwww....."- it meows and bites her again before it runs away.
"Aish! I should have known! Aigo, that stupid cat! Omo! I'm late!!"- she said and went running meters away to the school even if her hand was starting to react and blood drips even more.

-- the present time before that event occurs --
7:38 am and it's almost time for the class hours. There were 4 guys that are sitting on the benches near the school gate. Their names were Rey, Abel, John, and Daryl. "It's so boring to do this shitty clearance."- Daryl complained. "Yeah. I preferred playing online games than that crap."- John added. "It's exams tomorrow yet we're so chill, unlike the others. So stressed out of the study."- Abel said. "Yeah. I agree. Let's sign that crap later.....oh? Is that Jenny? Why is she running like there was an apocalypse or something."- Rey wondered along with a mocking chuckle as Jenny finally enters the gates and it automatically closes after she went in.
"Miss your hand is bleeding!"- one guard yelled. So more guards from the other sides of the gates went near to where Jenny is, curious to see whats the look of her bleeding hand. "Guys let's take a look. She was pretty to have a bleeding hand. Tsh, poor her."- Rey said.
On the side of Jenny, her visions were blurrier than before. "I....can't see properly...."- she said. "Miss, you need to be in the clinic right away!"- the female guard said and they assisted her to stand up. "Please... S... Stay away from... Me!.......Y-you'll be like me soon if you won't run....!"- she warned and her hand started to darken and she shakily collapsed on the floor, then......her eye color changed into dark grey. Plus, her voice was indescribable.
"Miss....miss! Are you ok? You look horrible....!"- another guard said and then Jenny stands up and faced all the guards. She suddenly breaths heavily and her voice becomes scarier this time. "Miss, just tell us what is wrong with you?!"- another guard who looks annoyed on what he sees.....then...Jenny attacks him first by his neck and bites it deeper and blood were flowing on the area.
"Hh....h-h-h....help me.."- the guard said and Jenny begins to attack the others as well. On Rey's side, they witnessed the scene. "What...what is she?? Is she a zombie?"- John panicked. "No. Zombies do not exist, they are just in the movies and a figure of imagination!"- Rey convinced. "But what she did is an actual zombie! She's dead! Let's run idiots!"- Abel said, then they silently run out but Darly hits the recycle bin and it catches the attention of the zombies that are on the gates. The guys couldn't help but run as fast as they could. Abel was caught first, next were Daryl and John.
Rey stopped his tracks when he sees his friends were bitten by a bunch of zombies and he was there standing, he couldn't get out of to where he was standing. "Rey...help....."- John begged but Rey runs out as fast as he could.
The campus was so big and its buildings were far enough, it's like the campus were the size of the city.
"Zombies existed!"- Rey said and run and run.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Everyone is now in their respective classrooms. Since tomorrow was their exam, they are busy studying and signing clearances. Even the teachers were busy too.
"Aigo, I'm so tired from the game yesterday and now study for the exams tomorrow."- a tall guy named Park Minjun lazily said from his seat.

"You keep on complaining, just study their man."- Jedd, Minjun's teammate on the game said with a laugh.
"Aish. I'm so tired. But worth it that our team wons."- he said and continues to make visual aids.
"You two were so happy even though we are not..."- Jackelyn, Jedd's girlfriend a while going to her seat.
"You keep on showing your frowny face. Your beauty was missing when it shows off."- Jedd mocked.
Along with the happy moments. A quiet and simple girl named Lee Seol Mi was all alone in her seats at the end on the last from to the windows.
"Aigo, why can't they just be silent?"- she silently said. She was the girl who never has friends inside the classroom because she was known to be quiet, aloof, and cold. But behind that cold and quiet looks, she was pretty and very smart. She usually has average grades, but still, no one wants to be friends with her in other things rather than a cold and quiet, aside from that; she was a commoner who is just lost inside Gongbin High.
She just slipped it up and get over with it. All she ever wanted is to graduate from this prestigious school that could help her to have a great job in the future. She looks at her classmates, some were studying but most were out of the classroom signing for clearance. And to think this school has 15,288 students including the teachers, staffs, colleges with junior and senior high.
Outside the hallways, Rey finally reached the senior high building that is way too far from the gates. Everyone was wondering why he was running so fast. "Rey what's wrong?"- Dong Hyeon asked as he stopped Rey from running, right now he was panting heavily.

"T...t...th...th....thh......There they are dead!"- Rey said.
"Dead? Who are they?"- Dong Hyeon asked.
"Zombies! Jenny bites the guards and they attacked my friends! We need to warn everybody quick!"- Rey said and then he runs away.
"Tsh, what's wrong with him?"- Alyza asked. "Rey suddenly turns out to be a scaredy af. Pfftt...."- Ann said and they laughed.
Dong Hyeon just ignored them and went to his classroom.
*~*~*~*~*
At 8:30 the classes finally start for a review. Everyone was listening eagerly to the teachers discussing their lessons.
"Later on the next chapter, was about the general virus and bacterias. In here, there are many types of it that can attack humans easily, especially when they have a low immune system."- the teacher said.
Seol Mi was highly taking notes on her notebook. She was then looking for her science book but it wasn't in her bag, so she excused herself out of the classroom to get her book from her locker that is located on the hallways. It's quiet. Unusually quiet.
Right after she has her book, she saw Jeongwu who is walking while reading a history book.

"Yah, Ms. Lee. It's discussing hours. You should head back to your room now or you will fail."- he ordered. "Ah...ne. You too President."- she shortly replied and went out. But then, somebody used the speakers.
"Attention! There are zombies on the gates! We need to get the hell out of here!! Ppali!!"
Seol Mi turns her head to Jeongwu who is massaging his temples. "Gosh, it's Rey again. Since this early morning he was acting like a crazy man in the hallways."- he said. Seol Mi just shrug it off and went back.
While she was seating, the discussion continues. When the time she faced the window. She saw 2 guards that have blood on their bodies as it runs to the buildings, they still look normal in her view, but then. There are a bunch of running people and attack those 2 guards and bites them till more blood was spilling the ground. She widens her eyes and rubbed them but it turns out that she wasn't dreaming at all.
"Ms. Lee, why are you looking at the windows? Is there any discussion that is on the window?"- the teacher asked and it makes everyone laughs at her. "Ma'am please look at the window."- she said seriously.
The teacher went to take a look and saw everything. She widens her eyes and immediately lefts the room without uttering any single word.
"What's going on??"- Neil asked.
Everyone looks at the windows but saw only a bunch of guards walking like drunk people.
"Is that it Seol Mi? Really?! You're making our discussions over because of that?! What a heck!"- Marc said and it causes everyone to say harsh comments towards her. She grabs her stuff and went out. "Yah! Don't walk out! This is your fault! We would fail the test because of you!"- Kit said but Seol Mi didn't utter any but left the room.
Like the time she was out, many students were walking to the hallways, Seol Mi thinks that it's probably because of those people biting or killing each other earlier and some were even bumped by each other. She wondered what is really going on?!
"Gosh, I see that they are biting each other and then blood spills all over the area."
"What is that thing?"
"Is that zombies? As what that crazy guy said in the announcement room?"
"They look like normal people I guess."
"What the heck is going on?"
Seol Mi heard many comments from other students, she tried to see closer those people that she saw on the windows, and now that everyone in the senior high building saw was on the ground...they were confused, shocked, and scared.
"Rrrrraaaaaahhhhhhhh......"
A bloody guard angrily groans and attacks a female student who was just near him and so the other guards attacked those students nearby. The rest started to run as fast as they could, Seol Mi immediately rushed to her locker and grab some of her important things and placed them in her backpack, but then the screams of the students started to gets louder and louder. She locked her locker and went up to the second floor. But then, more students were bitten by zombies.
She has nowhere to go, she was searching for something and she found a metal bar. She looked at the window but it has gotten worst. But, someone covered her mouth and dragged her to the empty classroom. "What the hell?!"- she quietly yelled. She faced it and saw Hyun Jin.

"Are you trying to get yourself bitten by those freaks?!"- he asked as he locked the door.
"And why are you even dragging me when I'm on my way through those zombies?"- Seol Mi asked annoyingly to him. But then, Hyun Jin just laughs.
"Damn this girl. How can a cold and commoner even survive those freaks? Ppfftt.."
He said in his thoughts. "I thought you are killing yourself. Pfftt. Anyways, Im...."- Seol Mi cut him off. "Yeah yeah, I know you. Your Byun Hyun Jin, #04 in the football team and a campus playboy."- she said and it makes him aback.
"Amazing, but too bad I don't know you."- he smirked. She rolled her eyes as she silently opens the door. It's still chaos since more zombies came up.
"We need to get through them, the sports room was on the other end of the hallway, and it's far."- Seol Mi said. "How we can able to go through, I don't have any weapons!"-Hyun Jin complained.
Seol Mi was looking for something for defense in the empty and messy classroom, but she found nothing at all.
*Seol Mi's POV*
This is just a beautiful day to me, but it turns into chaos. Right now, I was alone with Hyun Jin, and I still have no idea how to get past those zombies.
I just wanted to have a beautiful day rather than hearing harsh comments like what I did earlier.
But now, it turns upside down. They are everywhere as I have speculated. I need to figure out why this chaos happened. And moreover, I need some bunch of persons that could help me in fighting with these zombies. It may sound impossible but sitting here waiting for help would be a waste of time or worst, we'll be eaten as well.
I'm Lee Seol Mi. I may be a cold, aloof, and quiet girl but you'll never know my potential and where I'm capable of. And this is how my story begins.
The once well-known and prestigious Gongbin High turns into the High School of Doom.
