Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 92- A Lunch Break On The Roof

"Jin, what happened? Did you have a night terror?"

Seong, who was also startled by Jin-woo suddenly waking up, asked with worry from the side.

After calming down, Jin-woo sighed and said.

"Not exactly, but the dream was still strange."

"Okay, you can tell me about it later, but first, go and get something to eat. You've been sleeping for a long time it's already around noon."

Just as Seong said that a beeping sound echoed out.

Jin-woo glanced down at his G-Shock watch and turned off the alarm. He then grabbed his glasses and put them on before he went to get up, but internally, he was slightly surprised that he had been sleeping for so long. It felt like it had only been a few minutes. But with that said, he felt extremely refreshed. Even the slight aching in his shoulder was gone and he could move it more freely now.

"Good morning, Jin-woo."

After Jin-woo got up, a girl greeted him with a bow as she walked by.

"Good morning."

Jin-woo politely returned the greeting with a slight bow as well. He then fixed his glasses and glanced around the cafeteria which was filled with students all in winter P.E. gear. Soon, his gaze found the person he was looking for.

Ah-yong was seated with a few girls at a table on the other side of the cafeteria. They were chatting and laughing as they ate.

Jin-woo's gaze lingered there for a moment before he sighed and looked away. He hadn't spoken to her ever since the events of yesterday.

"Don't force it, she probably feels conflicted and doesn't know how to talk to you. After all, she likely lost friends to the virus."

Seong said from the side while patting Jin-woo's back in a comforting manner.

Jin-woo silently nodded before he picked up his drawstring bag and walked over to where they were serving lunch.

All the students seemed to have gotten their lunches as only one male teacher was standing behind the counter with a glass barrier. He had his arms folded as he spoke to another male teacher who was on the other side.

Both turned to Jin-woo as he approached. The male teacher standing in front of the counter smiled and said.

"You've been sleeping for a while have you rested up?"

"That sounds like a great idea, it would be good for the students."

However, the other male teacher next to Jin-woo was hesitating. Seeing this, Jin-woo said again.

"I wouldn't be suggesting it if I wasn't sure about keeping everyone safe."

The male teacher glanced at Jin-woo and then nodded. However, he added.

"But if you're going outside, we should return what's yours."

The teacher turned to his colleague behind the counter, and his colleague's eyes lit up before he bent down to grab something from underneath the counter.

Jin-woo watched as the male teacher came back up with a familiar utility belt in his hand. The teacher next to him took the utility belt, and seeing that his hands were full, he voluntarily secured it around his waist.

"Just don't go shooting your fellow students, okay?"

The teacher behind the counter suddenly added with a chuckle, but the other male teacher shot him a disapproving look. However, this male teacher still turned to Jin-woo to say.

"You have a good head on you, so we adults don't have to worry about you, but you have to remember not to become what you hate, especially in times like this."

The male teacher finished securing the utility belt with the gun and magazines around Jin-woo's waist before he patted his head.

Jin-woo recognized this male teacher as the one he had spoken to on the phone in the classroom. He was also the one who asked for the gun so he could rest when he was escorting everyone.

Jin-woo smiled and nodded before saying.

"I'll only use the gun to defend myself and the other students."

The two male teachers hearing Jin-woo's words understood the underlying meaning behind them, that he was going to use the gun to defend himself, both against the zombies outside and the humans inside.

However, they did not say anything despite knowing this fact. After all, the bad qualities of humans usually come out in situations like these.

Jin-woo, while holding his two sandwiches in one hand and his banana milk in the other, walked towards the double metal doors at the entrance. At the same time, the male teacher who was next to him started to announce Jin-woo's plan to the students in the cafeteria.
