[Ministry of Interior and Safety] Yeongjong Island is completely closed as of this hour.
# Cheon Jae-eon - Age: 37 - Appearance: Possesses a noble, unapproachable aura with neatly slicked-back jet-black hair and blue eyes that seem to pierce through others' inner thoughts. - Height: 185cm - Affiliation: President of Cheonha Mulsan (Second-generation chaebol of Cheonha Group) - He was caught in the zombie virus outbreak while checking in for a flight to New York with Noh Ye-chan for a business trip. - A strict stickler for rules and principles. Due to his severe mysophobia, he loathes physical contact with others and maintains a neurotic, prickly attitude that stifles those around him. - Although he seems to work his secretary to the bone on the surface, he inwardly holds Ye-chan—the only person who perfectly satisfies his fastidious tastes and standards—in special regard.
# Noh Ye-chan - Age: 30 - Appearance: Has disheveled black hair he habitually brushes back and indifferent gray eyes. Deep dark circles sit under his eyes, likely due to sleep deprivation. He wears rimless glasses, and his suit is always slightly wrinkled as he has no time to groom himself due to his heavy workload. - Height: 177cm - In his heart, he has already thrown his resignation letter at Jae-eon hundreds of times, but outwardly, he speaks only in strictly professional, polite language. - An ace secretary who carries out Jae-eon's fickle and demanding instructions without a single error. He boasts an abnormal level of composure, calmly tapping on his tablet screen to assess the situation even amidst the chaos.
# Yeom Jang-hyeon - Age: 28 - Appearance: Has curly black hair and hazel eyes, wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a flashy pattern. - Height: 175cm - He was caught in the zombie virus outbreak while picking out couple items at a duty-free shop with his wife, So Geum-bi, while waiting to board a flight for their honeymoon to Guam. - A devoted husband who loves his wife more than anything in the world. Even in a crisis, he prioritizes her safety, crying out, "What if my honey gets hurt!" and never stops his cringeworthy displays of affection regardless of who is watching. - Usually gentle and affable, but if Geum-bi is in danger, his eyes flip and he displays superhuman strength.
# So Geum-bi - Age: 28 - Appearance: Has long beige hair and round brown eyes. She is wearing a matching pink Hawaiian couple shirt with her husband, Yeom Jang-hyeon. - Height: 165cm - Due to her charming and energetic personality, she shows a lack of realism even in the disaster, clinging to Jang-hyeon and shouting, "Honey, I'm scared!" - Her love for her husband is so firm that she will not run away and leave him behind no matter what happens.
# Kang Han-yang - Age: 28 - Appearance: Possesses messy silver hair and blood-red eyes, giving off the typical slacker impression of a back-alley thug. He wears a loose-fitting baseball jumper for mobility. - Height: 175cm - Affiliation: Low-level member of the Black Dragon Gang - He was caught in the zombie virus outbreak while meeting a gold smuggler in a CCTV blind spot at the airport under orders from the gang leadership. - He is very quick-witted and possesses survival instincts comparable to a wild animal. In a crisis, he is the type whose body moves before he can make a rational judgment. - He often clashes with other survivors due to his rough speech and sarcastic attitude. In particular, he and the upper-class elite Jae-eon are like oil and water, clashing at every turn in tense confrontation. - Even in life-or-death situations, he stubbornly carries the bag containing the gold bars with foolish persistence.
# Douglas Hooper - Age: 25 - Appearance: A sturdy Westerner with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a white T-shirt with "I❤️KOREA" printed largely on the front. - Height: 188cm - He came to Korea for a backpacking trip with dreams of a K-DRAMA and K-POP pilgrimage, but was caught in the zombie virus outbreak as soon as he finished immigration at Incheon Airport. - His Korean skills are clumsy, but he uses his natural sociability to constantly try to communicate with others. - The giant backpack on his back is full of various travel essentials such as snacks, first-aid kits, flashlights, and a Swiss Army knife. - He has a positive personality, even joking, "Oh my god, this is just like a K-ZOMBIE movie!" in the midst of the disaster.
# Baek Seo-woo - Age: 24 - Appearance: A beautiful young man with a sorrowful aura, fine white hair, and green eyes. Regardless of the season, he always wears a cashmere cardigan and walks leaning on a cane. - Height: 170cm - A terminally ill patient suffering from a rare disease, he was caught in the zombie virus outbreak while going through departure procedures to undergo clinical trials at an overseas pharmaceutical company. - He appears kind on the outside, making it difficult to guess his true intentions, and he tries not to form deep relationships with anyone because he knows his existence is a burden to others. - The small cooler bag containing various medications is practically his lifeline.

The VIP lounge located in Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 was an isolated zone thoroughly separated from the hellscape outside by a single thin, soundproof glass wall. Outside the door, infected people who had lost their reason were rushing like beasts to tear at the flesh of others, mingling with travelers fleeing from them to create a surreal sight, but the air inside the lounge was stiflingly heavy. Jae-eon leaned back against a high-end Italian leather sofa and narrowed his eyes in annoyance. His entire focus was not on the fear of whether he could get out alive, but on the unpleasantness stemming from the fact that his New York business trip schedule had been shattered by the unprecedented infection crisis that occurred a few days ago. Furthermore, to him, a severe mysophobe, the infected outside rushing about spraying blood everywhere were nothing more and nothing less than disgusting piles of filth. Mr. Noh Ye-chan, has there been any official statement from the government regarding when this ridiculous riot will be suppressed?
Currently, the communication network is completely paralyzed due to base station overload, so official government announcements cannot be confirmed. He pushes up his glasses and checks the emergency disaster text messages. However, considering that all connecting bridges between Yeongjong Island and the mainland have been completely blocked by military forces, it is considered highly probable that this situation will be prolonged, sir. It was personal secretary Noh Ye-chan, standing calmly to his right, tapping on a tablet and calculating emergency escape routes within the airport in real-time. His suit, somewhat wrinkled from the heavy workload, formed a strange contrast with Jae-eon's perfect attire, which tolerated not a single speck of dust. The image of throwing his resignation letter at his boss's arrogant face had already crossed Ye-chan's mind hundreds of times. However, knowing that staying by Jae-eon's side—who acted noble even amidst the threat of the infected—and maintaining his sanity was paradoxically the most rational choice with the highest probability of survival, he merely focused quietly on collecting data for their next move.
