As always, the Duke visited Soto on the scheduled date. Lorena heard the thick wooden door creak open behind her, but she didn't move. Over the past few months, the man who would typically kiss her the moment he entered now stood at the threshold, not advancing further. With his hands casually stuffed into his pockets, Vaye Levantes stood still, staring at Lorena’s back in silence before speaking briefly. "Let’s go. Everything’s been settled." "…Settled?" Lorena let out a sharp,…-

There is no secret in the world that can remain hidden forever. It was nearly half a year into Lorena's quiet, isolated life at the cloistered Soto Monastery when the truth finally caught up with her. After attending the morning mass with the monks, she remained alone in the chapel, lost in thought, until she suddenly realized that a shadow had fallen over her. Curious, she looked up and gasped softly. “You…” The man standing above her was startlingly handsome, with golden-brown hair…

Afterward, I’d wait on the roof with the supplies while Logan fetched the dump truck to plow through the blocked roads and come back for me. Logan raised the table again, using it as a shield. He was the perfect tank. I pressed my ear to the door, listening closely to the sounds outside. "It’s quieter now." Had the zombies moved away? The stairs were to the left, not far away. It wouldn’t be hard to run for it, unless there were zombies on the second floor. "Let me take a…-

"Me too." What the heck? Just because the world’s ending, does that mean he can shamelessly lie like that? How can he mock someone who just confessed to liking him? "What are you even saying?" "I said, I liked you too." "You kick a ball in someone’s face when you like them? Thanks to you, I even broke my arm once." Memories of climbing a tree with him and breaking my arm surfaced. There was also that time he kicked a ball right at my face, making me spurt a nosebleed like a fountain.…

“Our parents… they’re okay, right? They’ve evacuated safely, right?” Logan lifted his gaze at the sound of my fearful voice. His dark eyes locked onto mine, and my throat tightened. “They should be.” “Was my mom… was she at your house?” I remembered Logan running from his home, waking me up with cold sweat dripping down his face. The pounding of my heartbeat echoed in my ears as I held my breath, waiting for him to speak. Please, no… It couldn’t have happened. She…

Was my life over now? All of this was Logan's fault. If I had just stayed in the city, none of this would have happened. I continued to move busily, weighed down by my worries. I loaded the back seat with food. Meanwhile, Logan had filled an empty gas canister and placed it in the trunk. We couldn’t run out of gas if we returned to the city. “Logan, let’s go. I’ve got everything.” The wind blew across the empty fields, and a tumbleweed rolled by, unsettling me for no reason. I quickly…

We listened intently to the voice coming from the radio, surprisingly calm. Words like "acute virus," "state of emergency," "military," and "quarantine" floated through my mind. “Let’s keep driving. If we reach the blockade, we can get directions to a shelter from the soldiers.” I looked at the situation optimistically. With the city’s bustling areas overrun by monsters, going back would be dangerous. We would just keep driving straight down the road until we hit the blockade. Then,…

I was jolted awake by someone shaking me. “Kylie! Get up! Kylie! Are you seriously sleeping right now?!” The urgency in the voice snapped me out of my slumber. In the dark room, I blinked, trying to make out who was shaking me. “Logan?” Logan was right in front of me. What was he doing in my room? I barely had time to process the situation before I noticed a sharp, acrid smell stinging my nose. Was there a fire? My mind cleared instantly as I sat up in a panic. But the thick smoke…

2. The Zombie Outbreak Screeeeech—!! A car driving in the wrong direction crashed into the central divider before careening onto the sidewalk. Screams of shock erupted from all directions. Fortunately, no one was hit by the out-of-control vehicle. The car only came to a stop after slamming into a utility pole. Pieces of the car flew across the asphalt, creating a clatter. The driver, crushed by the inflated airbag, flailed their arms, twisting in their seat. The hood of the car was…

1. Prologue Logan seems to think of me as his dog. This is not a mere delusion. I cannot leave the house without Logan’s permission. I must eat only the food he gives me, and when he calls, I must drop whatever I’m doing and go to him. But that’s not all. Twice a day, I have to undergo a naked physical examination, and even when he plunges a thick needle into my arm, I can't scream; I have to endure it in silence. Every time he orders me around, a hot lump of anger rises within…
