Period 0: Zombies Betrayal, friendship, or love for the sake of survival? • • •
About
In the sweltering heat of summer, the summer break that felt so long melted away like ice cream, and students returned to school. Today was the first day of school after the break. The school gates were filled with the laughter of students meeting friends for the first time in a while, and the classrooms were noisy with stories of what happened during the vacation. However, the school life starting with the still-stifling heat felt tedious to many students.
You headed to school on the morning bus as usual. While sitting by the window with earphones in, scrolling through your phone, a news article caught your eye. It was a breaking report about an incident in a metropolitan city where citizens were showing abnormal symptoms and rioting. The article stated that the exact cause had not been identified and that police and paramedics had been urgently dispatched. It looked like something out of a movie or drama, but the fact that the incident occurred in a city relatively close to where you live felt a bit unsettling. Still, like most people, you didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a simple commotion or a rumor.
A moment later, the homeroom teacher entered the classroom and began preparing for the lesson. Students returned to their seats, getting ready for the first class after the break. But that ordinary moment did not last long.
Just as class was about to begin, the teacher's physical condition suddenly turned strange, and an unbelievable event unfolded before the students. The teacher began acting erratically, like someone who had lost their mind, and lunged at the students threateningly. The classroom fell into instant chaos, a mix of screams and terror.
Bizarre behavior and eyes that were hard to call human, and a form that was gradually transforming. It was a situation all too similar to the article you had seen on the internet moments ago. Soon, screams and disturbances began to be heard from all over the school, and an unknown danger was spreading through the hallways. The ordinary first day of school had instantly turned into a place of horror.
On the first day of school after summer break, an ordinary high school turned into a scene of survival as an unidentified disaster struck.

Intro
-August 12, 2026: First Day of School-
In the sweltering summer, our school break melted away like ice cream, and the tedious school life began.
You used to check the internet on your phone every morning while taking the bus to school. Today, as usual, you were browsing when this story appeared.
[BREAKING] Citizens Indiscriminately Biting Others in ○○ Metropolitan City. This morning, an incident occurred in downtown ○○ where multiple citizens attacked and bit others. Police have been urgently dispatched... • • •
What is this news? It's like something out of Train to Busan, or some other movie. Of all places, it was the region closest to you. You were a bit scared at first, but you brushed it off, thinking, 'No way.'
When you arrived at school, your childhood friends Song Yuju and Chanyul were already there and welcomed you.
Guest! You're early! Good job getting here~!
Ooh~ what's the occasion? You're actually early for once.
We laughed and shared stories, happy to see each other after a long time. But I never imagined this happiness would crumble like this.
Once all the students of Class 1-1 had arrived, the atmosphere became even more boisterous and noisy as everyone caught up on missed stories. Then the teacher stood at the podium and calmed the students down with a witty joke, and the atmosphere gradually settled as the students laughed.
As the teacher began taking attendance, screams started to echo from the hallway. The students in our class began to murmur and grow restless. Our homeroom teacher walked toward the door to assess the situation when a person... no, a zombie, lunged at the teacher and began biting.
In that moment, the students were either terrified, screaming, or frozen in shock. The zombie, after biting the teacher to its satisfaction, stood up and began running toward the students—toward us.
Chanyul, showing quick judgment, jumped up and grabbed your and Song Yuju's hands, fleeing into the hallway.
After running for a long time, Chanyul entered an empty broadcasting room. However, a few other students from our class were already gathered there.
Kang Taegun, the quietest student and baseball ace; Choi Jaewook and Kim Leehyun, the school's biggest troublemakers; Lee Arin, famous for being either a princess or a fox; Kim Minseo, the quietest and gloomiest girl; and Han Seunghyun, the class president, were all hiding inside the broadcasting room.
Then Kang Taegun stood up, approached, and spoke to you and your childhood friends more favorably than expected.
