I'm still alive

The world was on fire and I felt pain burning all over. The screams of my body and soul resonate with the burning hell. The ruined city was filled with their cries and screams from the survivors. I feel great despair in the middle of it.

Now I'm lost in the face of the end that has become a reality. But the city of hell slowly began to move away and my city, or our city, behind it, began to appear before my eyes. I could barely open my eyes as the flames slowly disappeared.

Chae-yeon was bawling, waving my arms. And there was nothing in my ears that I could hear, even though I was speaking with a dung of tears. Chae Yeon, why are you crying? I'll be right there. The swaying scene lasted, but my body didn't move.

And the world got dark.

I have a splitting headache. I overcame the pain and opened my eyes painfully. Chae-yeon, who was there earlier, couldn't see where she had gone, and Kang Soo-ryeon and an old man were sitting there.

Kang Soo-ryeon brings a towel and constantly wipes my face and swallows tears. And he said something to me, but I couldn't hear it again.

The old man was screaming at me, his face and eyes reddened, what was so angry. But the horse changed into a buzz and the view darkened again.

I could see that the old man was not angry but sad.

My whole body seemed to be burning. I could feel the buzzing ringing in my ears and the touch of something touching me, but I couldn't make any moves. I was drifting for so long, as if everything had slipped out of my body.

Please hang in there! Just a little!'

The beeper sounds long. And between the tinnitus comes the urgent cry of Yongpal. Where is this place? As I opened my eyes thinly, I could see streets and buildings passing quickly through the blurred vision. And the faint breathing and shaking.

I was on someone's back.

Why am I on my back? And why can't I move? I rolled my eyes desperately and looked everywhere. Then there were people around and everyone had packed a lot of luggage. Where are you headed? What about the mart?

I'd like to ask, but I didn't drop my tightly closed mouth. And I could feel someone holding my hand tight.

When I rolled my eyes and looked there, I saw Kang Soo-ryeon holding my hand. What's so sad about a face that's about to shed tears? And there was a whimpering sound between the long tinnitus.

On Kang's other hand was Chae-yeon. As Chae-yeon, who holds her hand tightly and moves her steps hard, enters the field of vision, the anxious feelings begin to subside. Crunch. That's right, good job. Now you walk well without falling.

Chae-yeon didn't laugh like last time even though I was laughing. Instead, the way he hung his tears and looked at me pitifully hurt my heart so much. Chae-yeon reached out to me to hug her, but I couldn't move like a shackled person.

Chae Yeon,

Chae Yeon!

My whole body burns. My head hurts like crazy. There's so much to do. I have to move. I don't have time to stay still like this.….

Ah.

I couldn't beat the closing eyelids and closed my eyes as it was.

The world is getting dark again.

Heo Eok

The cold filament heats up with the spark. At that moment, my mind flashes and wakes up. I breathed like a newborn fetus. As the sacred air fills the lungs, it makes my eyes flutter and my toes tremble.

beep-ee

The ringing of the lights, and the view, as if the camera were focusing on them, became distant. I repeated getting close. I shook my head repeatedly to correct the timing and soon focused my attention on the light in front of me. The electric lights floating like the sun drove the scattered spirit around.

I turned my stiff neck around to grasp the situation as my vision found its place. My whole body was stiff and I tried to find a sense at the tip of my foot.

The place where I lay was a soft, warm bed. A clean sheet, as if it had been stripped of an angel's clothes and laid on it, made me feel a great deal of separation. I began to struggle and soon realized that there was an IV on my arm.

Hospital?

I quickly began to look everywhere when the situation was resolved. A room neither cold nor dirty. And there was no one around and I was wearing a clean patient suit. The lights were brightly lit and even the humidifier was running beside me.

Is this a dream? Or was I dreaming? I tried to get my condition back on track for now. He moved his stiff neck quickly and flinched his rigid thigh muscles one after another. Then the arms began to move and soon the senses began to return to their toes.

It was hazy. The blurring of not knowing whether it was the effects of weakness or fatigue made noise in my mind. But even in that spirit, I remembered exactly what I needed to grasp. Where did they go? The party was not in this room.

The party is not beside me. What's going on? Then you must find it. Like such a simple formula, my thoughts were sorted out at once and my slow beating heart began to pump violently. The face of Chae-yeon, who was crying in front of her eyes, and the faces of the group that she last saw, passed slowly.

I quickly put the blanket away. Then he got up from his seat, touching the bed with his hands. My head hurt and my legs were shaking, but I didn't stop acting. Everything is full of questions. And the question soon developed into anxiety and vigilance.

All my experiences have made me combat-ready. I couldn't believe anything about the present reality unless I saw the party right away. I tore the needle off my body and looked around in a hurry. The comfortable-looking room quickly turned into a prison for locking me up.

giggle

The door to the hospital room opened. I was surprised but quickly turned my eyes there.

As soon as the door opened, the loose muscles began to strain and I was moving reflexively like a starter. And my eyes opened the door and scanned the object that came in quickly in.

There were no women, nurse clothes, and weapons. The woman was not dirty and even had neat make-up on. However, the disgust of memories I experienced at Shin Seoul National University further amplified my vigilance. She looked casually at the chart and soon met my eyes.

'Oh, you're up, aren't you? I'll have to call someone.….’

Call me? Who? The woman who said so took something out of her pocket. My eyes naturally turned there and I could see that the thing she had was a radio. The moment I saw the radio, my body reacted automatically. I ran fast towards the woman.

Yay!

swing one's hand to hit the radio The radio that fell on the floor smashes badly with a dull sound. I didn't miss that time and ran out pushing a screaming woman. Breath rises steeply and a spirit full of excitement stimulates my headache.

It's a hallway.

It was as quiet as the hallways of an apartment at dawn, and there was no sign of popularity. But the faint light coming in was telling me exactly where to go. I tightened my legs and started running for that far-seeing emergency light.

But my running stopped soon. It was because of two men who opened the door and walked under the emergency light. They were wearing black suits like policemen, which strongly stimulated my vigilance and anxiety.

And then there comes the nurse's cry from behind.

Please calm him down!’

I hurried back and started looking for a hole to get out. But the opposite direction of men coming in was a dead end and no other exits were visible. The men, who heard the nurse's cry, looked embarrassed at me, and soon began to run fast over here.

There was no particular conversation. But they came up looking at my gestures and soon reached out to hold me. But I didn't mean to be held in a situation where I didn't know what their purpose was. All I could think about was the company.

I shook off the hand that came to me. And the posture still grabs the man's shoulder and breaks his center. But the man caught his shoulder quickly found his balance and soon bit me and shouted.

'What's wrong with you? Calm down!'

I didn't listen to the man. No, I didn't hear. Again the tinnitus and headache that came again made me suffer. Chae-yeon's face, crying like a hallucination, passed before her eyes. And I felt like I could hear Chae-yeon crying between the tinnitus. I shouted my whole body in fits and starts.

'Chaeyeon! Chaeyeon! Where are you!! Answer me!'

Then the man who was holding onto me makes a lot of facial expressions. And shouted to another man nearby.

'What are you doing, asshole? Hold on!!'

The man who swore at me pulled me and soon another man jumped at me. The man tripped my leg over the floor and crushed me with a heavy body. Confused. Headaches strongly stimulate my nerves.

But even in a chaotic situation, I felt all over my body.

I moved my body like instinct. Then I grab the head of the man who is pressing me, and I stretch out my fist and give him a light blow. The man, who was attacked unprepared, was beaten on the chin and staggered on the head. I didn't miss that time and got out of there.

When I get out of my seat, the man who first grabbed me speaks ill language. Then he came at me again and tried to subdue me. The attack, which was aimed at the lower half of the body, was quite fierce, as it was before.

But I reacted as fast as a beast. Compared to them, it was like a kid's prank. I lifted my knee and took a picture of the man's stomach running.

The man fell sideways screaming. After finishing the intense movement, I exhaled roughly and hurriedly took the center of my body. Then he began to run forward again. There came a cry from behind with a nurse's scream.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Somebody help me here!’

I clenched my teeth. Then he dashed forward, kicking the door in front of him. I could now hear only a faint tinnitus and a heartbeat. Chaeyeon? Where are you? I relied on instinct as if I were a monster without reason.

When I stormed out of the door, what I saw was the hospital lobby. I felt my mind dazed at the moment. Is this really a hospital? I frown with a feeling of extreme separation. I was definitely on the roof. I killed him on the roof......... Kill him? What's next?

While I was lost in thought, the eyes of the people in the lobby turned to me. At first, they looked at me with questioning faces, and began to guard me against the screams coming from behind me.

And the nurse, who found me among the people, took out the radio and began shouting urgently. And from far away, men in uniform were running. I couldn't stand the buzzing headache and grabbed my head.

'HOLD!'

Did he notice my unfriendly attitude? At first, they had a vague attitude, but they showed little hostility toward me because they knew that my colleague had been beaten. More than 10 men began to rush out of the crowd.

'Chaeyeon! Kang Soo-ryeon! Old man! Yongpal!'

I called the party in the crowd. What do you think happened? Maybe he was dragged by them like he was at Shin Seoul National University. This situation strongly stimulated my trauma and I was out of my mind. And the trauma soon turned into anger.

A man jumps at me and grabs my waist. When I gained weight, my body leaned back, but I held on with my feet. In that state, lift your knees and lift the man's stomach. When a man leaves and falls, he is overpowered simultaneously from all sides.

I turn the guy who grabs my shoulder to the side. At the same time, I felt a strong pressure on my neck. I struggled all over and screamed. Let go! Let go! Then the more pressure on my body was getting stronger. Kuck, I clenched my teeth, breathing heavily.

"Stay still......... Aah!'

I shot him in the back of his head holding my neck. With a scream, the arm that tied my neck was loosened. And I opened my mouth and bit the hand that was holding my shoulder tightly. Bitter blood soaked my lips with teeth.

He kicked the man's stomach in front of me. And he took the arms and hands that were binding on my body without a hitch. A primitive quarrel;a desperate struggle. I jumped like a madman with a cry and a goin' blood. And he didn't stop calling the names of the party.

But at that moment, a man whose hand was bit off me took a trident out of his waist. With the sound of a kindling, my eyes were fixed to the stretched trident. The man swore at me, grasping his blood-stained.

"I'll see you, son of a gun!"

Three-tier sticks are flying to me.

Sir! No!’

Around them, other men shout in dismay. But the man with the triple rod was not ready to stop. My eyes were filled with excitement, and I looked like a mirror. Three-tier sticks flying to me are caught in my gaze.

My heart starts beating like crazy. Between the tinnitus my heart resounds violently and adrenaline gushes frantically. And at the same time, the world begins to slow down.

Ah.

All the electric signals move my body like sparks on my muscles. As I gently bend myself, a three-tier peak passes before my eyes. I was twisting my body in that short moment to avoid the triad. The man's eyes were bathed in astonishment and my fists stretched out in front of him.

Having blown the man's head off, I picked up the fallen trident. Then grabbed the triad rod and snatched the falling man. More and more men are beginning to flock among the crowd. I grabbed the man's neck with my arms and aimed the triad at the men around me.

Don't come.

I grab the man's neck and slowly step back. The men who besieged me hesitate to open the streets when I catch the hostage. I tightened my arm and began to strangle the man. I began to hear a clatter of breath.

Where's the door? Where do I go out?

I dragged the struggling man back, headed further back. But I reached a dead end and I could not hide my anxious inner thoughts, leaning against the wall. And at that moment, I made eye contact with people who ran out of the crowd.

Tears welled up in tears.

Dong-yoon!

Mr. Dongyoon!

It was the old man and Kang Soo-ryeon. Both rushed in, their heads were scattered and their breath looked rough. I busily rolled my eyes to see if they were hurt and safe. I shouted at you both in a completely restless voice.

'Are you all okay? I'll save you! Wait a minute!’

Then Kang Soo-ryeon burst into tears. Then he shook his head and shouted to me.

'No, Mr. Dongyoon! Please, please...….’

Why... ...why are you crying? What happened? I exhaled roughly, wiping my hazy eyes. And tried to regain consciousness, holding on to the shaky field of vision. The old man was slowly walking towards me as I looked straight again.

'Dongyoon.'

I couldn't hide my trembling voice.

'Old man?'

There was no one to restrain an old man approaching me. The conquest began to move carefully to the side, as if the men in the clothes had opened the way, and the old man called me once again.

'Dongyoon, it's okay. It's all right now.’

I couldn't control my trembling hands. The strength began to slowly drain and my arms around the man slowly loosened. Then the man flopped down on the floor and the old man, who had come up to me, wrapped his arm around him and grabbed him.

'You can let go now.’

The hand holding the triple rod is released like a lie. My tension and fear also fell to the bottom, like a triad rod that fell to the bottom. The old man slowly opened his arms and embraced me, and warm warmth passed through my body.

I couldn't control my tears.

'It's all right now, everything's fine. So......'

'So you can put it down now.’

I collapsed in my seat.
