Plundering in the Apocalypse

A few hours later, Elena woke up. She had a confused expression on her face.

"Where am I? Is this a hotel?" Elena concluded, seeing the ceiling. Then she felt someone was sleeping next to her.

At this moment, her thoughts started going haywire. 'Don't tell me it's Shin.'

"Did we do it?" Thinking like that, Elena was overjoyed. Although she was a little disappointed that she wasn't awake for her first time, she had no problem, if it was Shin.

But she was soon broken out of her delusions as she heard a mocking voice from her side.

"Nothing happened, and I never thought you were this delusional," Alice said while mocking Elena.

Seeing that it was not Shin, and only the grinning Alice was laying there. Elena's face turned ugly. As she looked at Alice with disgust.

Alice didn't like the look Elena was giving her after she had saved her life.

'Should I have let her die?' Alice regretted her decision to save Elena's life. She only did that because she didn't like seeing Shin's worried face.

Soon the door opened and a handsome-looking man arrived as his face had a worried expression.

As soon as he heard some voices from the next room. He didn't stay still and went there. Seeing Elena and Alice awake, Shin was glad. But now his eyes were glancing at Alice with a complicated expression.

Alice noticed the look on Shin's face got worried. 'Don't tell me it's because of my transformation? Does Shin hate me now?' Thinking like that, Alice's face turned dark. She was sad.

Before Shin could say anything, he found someone's silhouette arriving near him and hugged him tightly. It was the crying Elena. As soon as she saw Shin, she started crying.

"I'm so glad you are okay. I am glad to be alive and that I can see you again." This was the first time Shin saw Elena crying like that. Her emotionless face was broken, and she was expressing her emotions.

Shin reciprocated her hug and started to calm her down while patting her head.

Alice, who saw that, had an emotionless expression on her face. Seeing Shin and Elena in a hug. Her mind froze as she couldn't think anymore.

'',

As Elena calmed down, she blushed, thinking how bold her actions were. Shin wanted to talk with Alice but only got a disdainful look on her face and a cold shoulder.

Shin's heart broke thinking 'Does Alice hate him?'

His face paled at that thought. Soon after, Simon also woke up and Shin called the doctor. Who explained they are fine.

Shin was relieved.

"Now that you guys are awake, let's go to my house. So we can rest." Shin himself was tired and wanted to rest. He also needs to have an important talk with Alice who, for some reason, giving him a cold shoulder.

"Nah, Shin, I want to return home. It's close to here. Why don't you and Alice come with us?" Simon rejected Shin's hospitality. He wanted some alone time in his room.

Elena didn't like that her brother was rejecting Shon's proposal. She wanted to object, but Shin's rejection made her sad.

"We will go home. Mom and Dad are worried." Simon nodded at Shin's words. They booked taxis and went in the respective direction of their homes.

***

Inside the taxi, the atmosphere was awkward. Shin tried starting the conversation but got no reply.

'I am so tired that I can't find a way to make up with Alice.'

Shin's heart was aching when Alice ignored him.

Soon they arrived home only to find a worried Reina checking at them. She immediately wanted to go to the children, but Shin affirmed that they were fine and will arrive in a few hours.

"Where is Dad? Mom."

"He will arrive in a few minutes." Reina answered Shin as she frowned, seeing the dejected look on Alice's face.

This time, she didn't make fun of her and grabbed Alice's hands and went to her room. She put up a barrier so that Shin can't listen to their conversation.

Shin was interested but decided against it.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

He went to his room and lay on his bed, as he was tired.

He remembered everything about today and this will be a lesson he won't ever forget.

***

Reina, who heard Alice's whole story, was shocked. It seems she was mistaken about their relationship. She rubbed her forehead in disappointment.

'I knew something was wrong. When my son brought such a beautiful girl with him.'

Reina looked at Alice in a loving voice and said. "Why don't you take a step forward if he is this dense? If he doesn't like you, at least there won't be any misunderstandings."

Alice, who heard Reina's voice, was determined and became sad, thinking, what if Shin rejects her?

"I think Shin also has some feelings for you. So don't wait and go for it." Reina motivated Alice more. If her son rejects such a sweet girl. She won't leave him be. He should just die single if he can't accept her.

She cursed her son, seeing the determined look on Alice's face.

***

At the night, a few hours later.

Shin was woken up by the sound of his door opening. He got alerted but calmed, seeing it was none other than Alice.

He stood up from his bed and walked toward Alice as he wanted to say something to her.

"Alice, listen to me I-"

Alice stopped him.

"Shin please listen to me first." Seeing Alice's anxious face. Shin was worried that she hates him now and if she was thinking of leaving him. He had to convince her to stay.

"I- I love you, Shin. I want to be together with you forever. When I thought today I might lose you, I was scared. I don't want to be alone. I want to be with Shin for the rest of my life." Alice said, as her anxious heart finally calmed down.

Shin was flabbergasted. 'Don't she hate me? That means Alice loves me. Oh my God.'
