Chapter 204


    Chapter 204


    Kim Suhans friend, who was disguised as a zombie, lay on the floor.


    His padded jacket was torn to shreds, and his ribs and arm were exposed to the bone from being bitten by zombies.


    A piece of an archery arrow was stuck above his closed left eyelid, making it look like it had pierced through.


    He felt a chill even looking at himself.


    He was playing the role of a zombie hit by Go Juwons arrow.


    I should be easy to find.


    Unlike his other friends who were probably swarming somewhere else, he had been chosen for this role because of his height.


    He wondered if he could brag about this to Kim Suhan and his friends. He chuckled as a zombie.


    Action!


    He stopped laughing and hardened his expression at the sound of the assistant directors voice.


    Even if it was a part-time job, it was still a job. It was time for him to become a brain-dead zombie.


    Ready, action!


    Clack!


    As soon as he heard the sound, Im Jangwoo looked behind him.


    There was a zombie right behind him.


    He broke out in a cold sweat.


    His heart sank and his head felt dizzy, but he had no time to lose his focus because of the horde of zombies rushing at him.


    Lets go.


    Yes!


    Im Jangwoo and the couple had learned that zombies were sensitive to sound while they were escaping.


    The sound of car engines, the screams of people.


    Whenever there was a loud noise, zombies always flocked to it.


    Mister, behind you!


    It was a loud voice that could be heard even from here.


    There must have been zombies inside the hospital as well.


    The kid wouldnt be safe either.


    Im Jangwoo worried about the kid as he swung down the broom he was holding at the zombie.


    If they hit their brain, they stop moving. Aiming for the zombies head was Im Jangwoos instinctive attack, remembering the zombie that looked really dead after not moving at all.


    Im Jangwoo pushed aside his worry for the kid and ran with the couple to where there were fewer zombies. Jangwoo and the couple fought off the zombies and ran to the entrance.


    Im Jangwoo looked around cautiously and glanced at the third floor where the kid had been standing.


    The kid who shot the arrow seemed to know that too and hid himself, not showing up.


    Im Jangwoo and the couple quickly went inside.


    And they quickly found a place where they were blocked from all sides.


    The three people who entered the nearest room on the first floor realized that there were no zombies there. The couple collapsed on the floor exhausted, but Im Jangwoo tightened his slackened nerves again.


    Ill go up to the third floor and check. You two stay here.


    He didnt know how long they could last in an office without a bathroom or water.


    Im Jangwoo swallowed his words.


    The couple also realized what he meant and looked anxious.


    It was the day his wife was discharged from the hospital.


    They didnt expect this misfortune to happen. Would it have been better if they had left the hospital sooner?


    If it wasnt for the detective they met in the parking lot, they would have been turned into monsters without a fight.


    Detective!


    The couple hesitated as they grabbed onto him. Im Jangwoo, who had no gun and was just a slightly stronger ordinary person in front of zombies, gave them infinite trust because of his detective title.


    That kid might be too late already. So


    Im Jangwoos expression turned cold as he looked at the couple who might have already become another monster.


    He had to hold out until his fellow detectives and police officers arrived, but that didnt mean he would stay in a corner by himself. He didnt care if the couple didnt help him. But he didnt want them to stop his actions either. Besides, the kid had saved them.


    The couple lowered their heads at Im Jangwoos cold gaze.


    If it wasnt for the kid, Im Jangwoo would have been killed, and then they would have died too.


    Please stay quiet and hide here. Ill go up and see.


    The cheerful nursery rhyme filled the bloody hallway.


    His wife, who had been hospitalized for obstetrics, crumbled her face.


    Her husband bit his lip hard.


    Go Juwon hardened his face for the first time since meeting the adults.


    He had turned on and off the music quickly, so he didnt pay attention to what song it was.


    The only one who didnt flinch at the nursery rhyme was detective Im Jangwoo, who had faced all kinds of cruel and unforgivable crimes.


    Kid. Lets go up.


    Yes.


    Lets go up.


    The zombies rushed toward the cell phone and Im Jangwoo led the way up the stairs.


    The couple and Go Juwon followed him.


    Behind them, they heard a ringtone that children would like.


    That cell phone would never ring again, crushed under the zombies feet.


    Second floor.


    Im Jangwoo gestured and Go Juwon turned on his phone and handed it to him.


    Im Jangwoo threw it with all his strength.


    -I cant leave you behind. I turn around once more


    This time, a ballad.


    How many floors do we have to go?


    Fourth floor.


    Everyone nodded at Go Juwons words. They thought it was easier than expected to avoid the zombies and moved their steps.


    They climbed up to the third floor and reached the fourth floor. Im Jangwoo gestured again and Go Juwon smiled.


    Its okay. I have something prepared here.


    What?


    Go Juwon showed him his phone.


    [In front of the right stairs on the fourth floor]


    Go Juwon pressed a button and music sounded from the opposite side of the stairs they were on.


    The zombies, sensitive to sound, screamed and ran toward where the sound came from.


    Im Jangwoo and the couple looked at the phone with a blank expression. It wasnt a call button this time.


    What is that?


    A Bluetooth speaker.


    It was a music play button.


    They heard Red Crowns song from afar, and the adults opened their mouths wide.


    Cut! OK!


    Director Choi Daemans voice echoed.


    Kim Jongho, who had relaxed his tension, nodded his head repeatedly.


    A Bluetooth speaker The speaker company must be mad. But Seo-jun, isnt that song by Red Crown? Youre in the same agency as Seo-jun.


    Kim Jongho asked casually, still listening to the song from the polar bear speaker, but Seo-jun was startled and pressed the pause button. The music stopped, and the staff who were preparing for the next shoot moved their steps with regretful faces.


    Haha. It just happened to be like that.


    Seo-jun smiled awkwardly and said.


    If it affected my acting, I would have refused.


    Director Choi Daeman, who liked any popular song, told Seo-jun to choose one of the songs in the top 10 of a music site.


    He got a call from Seo Eunchan who heard about it.


    It wasnt strange for a middle school student like Go Juwon to listen to Red Crowns popular songs, Seo Eunchan said, and Seo-jun nodded slightly.


    Midnight -Red Crown


    He was going to choose number one anyway, but he felt uneasy as if he had done something for Eunchans uncle.


    Seo-jun scratched his cheek.


    Kim Jongho searched for a music site with a smile.


    He would have chosen Red Crowns song too, even if he was Seo-jun.


    Midnight -Red Crown


    Red Crowns Midnight was still number one.


    But do they need any promotion when theyre number one for four weeks?


    Right? I thought so too, but my uncle didnt seem to think so.


    Seo-jun tilted his head as he remembered Eunchans uncle who laughed over the phone.
