It's been three weeks since the zombies attacked. I haven't seen a real person that entire time.
I wonder if Chan-Mi made it.
Who cares, she was so annoying.
Why am I the only one who has sense?
I've tried communicating with some other zombies, but not only do they not understand they won't even look at me.
I've also figured out after eating human flesh I can speak. my voice sounds the same, yet does it matter anymore? I don't think there's anyone left to understand me.
"Sigh~ I want spicy noodles." what's that smell? human?
I heard whispering in an alleyway. I walked through the crowd of zombies and entered the alley way following the whispers.
is it an animal?
"Hori... I don't know if this is a good idea, I know you're hungry, but there are zombies surrounding the area."
I heard a male voice somewhere down the dark alley. Should I follow it? if they see me, would they kill me?
"Come on... we'll be fine, just be quiet 'kay?" I heard a female voice now. How many people are here?
A zombie bumped into me also following the voice. guess they were too loud.
"Hori look out!" the male voice yelled before i heard a loud bashing sound and the zombie falling back.
holy shit. they bashed its head in? would they do that to me if they saw me?
"See? told you it would be fine." i heard the female voice speak before she giggled.
Maybe I should go before they see me.
"Hey, you." the male said
I flinched. is he talking too me?
I turned around to look at them. it was hard to see since it was so dark
"M-Me...?" I said nervously. can they not see me?
"Yes you. do you need help? Come back too base with us." the male said
'uh-" "Jake! you can't invite randos remember!" the female cut me off.
i heard the sound of rummaging before the female pulled a flashlight out and shined it on me.
i covered my eyes with one arm before panicking. shit my skin.
"J-Jake why is it talking..." the female said backing up. the male was silently picking up the bat the female used to kill the zombie previously and raising it.
shit. should i run? if i die now will i see Je-Yoon?
the male was about to strike my head before another male stopped him. When did he get here?
"Stop jake." "What are you doing DoHyun?! let go he'll kill us!"
'Dohyun' pushed 'jake' the other way and walked up to me.
he just stared down at me for a while.
"This one isn't normal. look jake." he said pointing a flashlight in my face. fuck that really hurts.
Jake walked up to me cautiously looking me in the eye.
"Why isn't he attacking?" Hori said walking up too me Immediately touching my hair.
what's happening?
"Tie him up jake" dohyun said throwing a rope onto him.
"Don't tell me we are bringing it back?!" Jake said protesting.
Dohyun ignored the protests and started walking off.
"don't worry jake we will be safe look!" the female said before suddenly slamming the bat onto my head.
i blacked out.
.
.
.
.
augh... my head.
I heard a muffled conversation
"It's a fucking zombie what were you guy thinking!"
"I-it was Dohyun who made us bring it!!!"
"Yeah! jakes right plus I even knocked it out so it wouldn't struggle"
fuck they're loud...
My eyes slowly fluttered open.
My arms are tied together behind my back as I'm lying on my side. fuck that hurt like hell!
who do these people think they are hitting me so hard!!
I grit my teeth looking at their feet.
"Dohyun what were you thinking making them bring it back here!!" I heard the voice of an elder woman.
"Dong-Hyun said to make sure everyone who can speak is brought back here safely." dohyun said with a smirk shrugging.
"What are you talking about? zombies can't speak. stop talking nonsense. I'm sure that this is not what your brother meant." the elder woman spoke.
Dong-Hyun? why does that name seem so familiar?
Dong-Hyun.... Dong-Hyun...
"Um actually Mrs. Jin, the zombie did speak" Hori said looking at the now awake zombie on the floor.
Jake yelped when he realized I was awake.
"Holy shit jake you sounded like a girl just now" Hori giggled.
the elder stared down at me with a disgusted expression.
"Prove it. prove that it can Speak" the elder said looking towards Hori.
"Me? ugh fine." she walked up to be and crouched down
"Hey... be a good little zombie and say something for me okay" Hori said with an awkward expression.
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!
Is she mocking me?
"I knew that was a lie. zombies can't speak" the elder said disappointed.
I could feel a stare from the back of my head. who's behind me?
Hori looked annoyed before slapping my face. "Come on speak you jerk!"
She yelled at me.
"Who are you?" I said shyly
Fuck my voice is slightly hoarse cause I haven't eaten a human in days.
Everyone fell silent and looked towards each other.
I heard footsteps behind me approach. as soon as it stopped everyone looked above me where whoever the hell was behind me was.
"Dong-Hyun?" Hori said with a nervous expression standing back up and stepping away from me and 'Dong-Hyun'
Wait... Dong-Hyun? THE Dong-Hyun?
I turned my head as much as I could and there it was.
that familiar face and beautiful black hair. The whole talk of my school before the attack.
Jeez I thought those good looks were from the amount of beauty filters they put on him in the movies he'd act in.
His gaze pierced through my eyes.
"Dong-Hyun, what do we do?" the elder spoke. Dong-Hyun didn't break eye contact once since our eyes first met.
This is just getting awkward why is he staring at me like that.
"Untie him" Dong-Hyun said finally breaking eye contact too command the elder.
"What?!" The elder yelled back.
She still walked up to me and untied me despite her protesting.
as soon as she untied the rope my hands went straight to my head.
fuck it hurts what is even happening?
They all stared at me intensely like I was some monster about to attack.
I don't blame them I guess but were they not the ones who bashed a bat into my head before kidnapping me?
My hands moved from my head to the floor pushing myself up.
Everyone kept their eyes on me jeez this is awkward.
"Great we let the zombie free now what?" jake said looking at Dong-Hyun who backed up and leaned back on wall.
"What's your name?" Dohyun said also leaning against the wall opposite side too Dong-Hyun.
My name?
"Jin-Ho"
I spoke, sitting up.
The elder looked flabbergasted. "It speaks well?" she spoke.
"Bring him too my room" Dong-Hyun said before leaving the room.
Everyone wanted to protest yet stayed quiet before Hori walked back up too me offering a hand.
I hesitated but took it and she helped me up. Hori looked grossed out before she had stars in her eye. "Woah zombie boy you have soft hands!" She said excited.
"W-wait let me see!" Jake said before grabbing my hand and feeling it.
What are they doing? I nervously looked at them and sweat.
"I've never felt a zombie who doesn't feel disgusting" Hori spoke looking at me.
"My names Hori by the way! That guy with white hair is jake! he looks like an old man like that right" Hori spoke and giggled.
"Hey! I do not look like and old man" Jake said letting go of my hand and shouting in defense at Hori.
"Don't be insecure jake it's okay!!!" Hori teased.
"Oh yeah that older woman over there is Jin. And him, that guy in the corner that tries to act cool cause he's jealous of his brother, aka the guy who stopped jake from killing you earlier is Dohyun!" Hori said smirking at dohyun. He glared before leaving the room as Jin followed.
"Follow me, Jin-Ho!"
Hori said before walking into a hallway with jake behind her.
I hesitated but followed them into a bedroom.
it was nice in there.
Hori pushed me to sit down on a couch in the room before they both sat down in chairs across from me.
they both stared at me with their chin resting in their hands.
I nervously looked around the room.
"So, Jin-Ho tell us about yourself!" Hori said impatiently.
About myself? Is there anything interesting about me?
"Oh also! about bashing your head with a bat earlier sorry about that Hehe..." she giggled awkwardly.
"It's okay." I said clearly hesitantly.
Jake stared at me so intensely it was hard to talk, God...
"What are you?" Jake asked.
What am I? I don't know.
"A zombie"
I muttered out
"How can you talk then? Do you want to eat us? Have you ever eaten a human before?"
Jake asked
Hori pushed jakes shoulder "Jeez dumbass! do you think he'll be able to think straight when you ask all of that?" she said with furrowed eyebrows.
"Hey! don't touch me you brat!" jake said
they started arguing.
I didn't pay attention though.
What will they do too me if I say I've eaten human flesh before
