Soo Min-ji snapped her eyes open. Huh? Who was that?
She slowly tilted her head to see who had that, smooth, velvety voice.
So there was a human here with her too!
Sharp, glowing, red eyes stared back at her. He had very awkward pointed ears, his nose was small, and well-structured, his lips were the thickest, smoothest pink lips she had ever set her eyes on. His silver hair perfectly matched with his facial features, giving him an ethereal look.
She let her eyes travel down to his shoulders, and she was not disappointed. He had those broad shoulders, his chest was huge too, and she had a peek of his abs..
"Why do you want to die again?" The smooth, deep voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
Her eyes went back to his face, "Who are you?" She threw him a question, "and why are your ears pointed in that manner?"
[Beep! B- ranked Zombie detected. Type, unclassified]
Her jaws dropped, this man standing in front of her was a zombie! With that smooth silky skin, those thick kissable lips, those sharps eyes..?
"How come? Put me down, please," she tried as much as possible to sound firm but failed.
His eyes thinned with amusement, "Were you checking me out?"
She sneered, "Put me down please."
He shrugged, releasing his hold of her. She fell to the ground with a light thud, "You do like finding yourself in chaos huh?"
"Ow! That was not how you were supposed to do it! Hey!" She scowled at him, rubbing her sore bottom.
Her eyes looked ahead of her, catching the pillar of mushroom smoke going up to the cloudless crimson skies. If this guy was a zombie, and those things were zombies.. that means this guy just--
"You killed them to save me?" She whipped her head to her side to look at him.
His lashes fanned his cheeks, "You were in danger, it would be unthinkable to let them eat you," he turned on his heels, beginning to walk away.
She watched him walk a little further, before the screen appeared in front of her again.
[Host should consider going after him.]
She grimaced, "Since when did you start warming up to zombies?'
[He is handsome ^_^]
A blushing emote filled the screen in front of her.
Interesting.. her system suddenly became unofficial just because it met an attractive undead human. She palmed her face, trying not to voice out her surprise.
"Even the system noticed it," she muttered, as she watched him still walking away.
[You can not let him out of your sight just yet! He might be of great help later to host!]
"You think so?" She got to her feet.
[Yes!]
She rushed over to meet him, her head lightly spinning as she ran to keep up with his large strides.
"Hey, wait! Please!" She waved, yelling his name.
He didn't stop not even once, he kept on walking.
"Can he not hear me?" A deep frown settled on her brows, as she increased her pace till she reached him, and tapped his back.
"Hello? Can you not hear me call you?" She almost collapsed back, breathless but his strong hand caught her wrist just in time, pulling her closer to his chest.
"Did you call me?"
"Yes, I did," her face turned bright red, "You were walking so fast, and I even tried calling after you so loudly."
He ruffled her hair, a small sly smirk resting on his face, "I am sorry, but I do not hear any sound as long as it is behind me."
She blinked. Was that a defect on his part?
"Oh, I am so sorry to hear that," her eyes drooped.
He still looked down at her with amusement. What a cheeky human he had to build the world with, "That is fine. There is no need to apologize," he gently flicked her forehead, "We have got more important things to do, cupcakes."
Her droopy eyes widened at the nickname. Her heart immediately began to race fast, as her face flushed. Was she blushing at a zombie's comment?
[Host's heart is palpating so fast, is host in some kind of dilemma?]
She only slightly shook her head, still dazed by his words. Not even Marcus who was her human fiance back then called her cupcakes.
Her cheeks burned as she looked away, "Oh. We do?"
"Yes. We are supposed.." he paused, and swallowed, "to build the world.." he exhaled, "together."
She arched her brows, "You have a system too? It wants you to build too?"
He nodded in affirmative.
She felt some kind of relief wash over her, "I would not have to do this alone then, I have some kind of--" she paused then looked up at him.
"Hold on, you are a zombie too."
His smile faltered, "What do you mean?'
Her gaze hardened, "You were one of those creatures who attacked us on doomsday as well right?"
His eyes slightly widened, "Huh? No, I.." he placed his hands on his chest, shaking his head, "was not a part."
She took a step back, "How can I trust that you are also here to build the world with me? Your kind literally destroyed it!" She sneered.
His lips turned downwards, "but I didn't do it," his lips formed a pout, his ears turned downwards. He was genuinely hurt by her words.
"Huh? You are a zombie too, aren't you?"
"That does not mean I also took part. I honestly tried to stop them, too."
She took another step back, unsure whether he was saying the truth or not.
"Hmm, I do not think that will be necessary for now," she turned on her heels backing him, "You are also a zombie nonetheless."
"The kind that you were checking out," the sly smirk appeared on his lips again, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"What? No! I wasn't!" Her cheeks burned furiously, "Stop fantasizing," she tried walking away, but his strong hand caught her wrist again, gently drawing her back.
"I honestly do not mind," he shook his head, "You can have sex with me, the way the living humans have sex with each other."
Her mouth fell open. She gawked at his outright statement with wide eyes. Sex? Why was he suddenly talking about sex?! It hadn't been up to thirty minutes since they met!
Heat slowly rose to her legs, as she processed his words.
"What? It is okay, I find you attractive too. I do not mind at all."
She blinked confused, before snapping back to reality, "Hey! No, what are you even talking about," she tried to pull away, but he drew her closer to him, this time way too close.
Her heart began to hammer against her ribcage. He, for some kind of strange reason, didn't have a stench coming from him. He, instead, scented of.. fresh lemons?
She tilted her head to look back at his sharp glowing eyes, while he stared back at her with excited ones.
"Do you want to kiss?"
