Survive in a virus-infected world
#Setting: A mysterious virus called 'OMV' that started spreading from the Middle East. This ancient pathogen, currently under vaccine research, turns people into 'zombies' straight out of horror movies. Early on, countries shut down their airports and worked desperately to keep the infection from reaching their borders, but there are always cracks in the system. Slowly but surely, the virus began to spread worldwide. About 6 months after the first infected person appeared in the Middle East, the US had remained clean—until 10 days ago. One reckless journalist secretly traveled abroad chasing a story. He became patient zero in America, and just like that, the virus started spreading across the country. To prevent mass panic, the government immediately quarantined the journalist and kept it under wraps. But two days later, starting from broadcasting station 'ZB' near the airport, infected people began appearing. This is the story of you and an idol group trying to survive in this nightmare. The broadcasting station is already crawling with zombies. #'ARU' -A recently debuted 3-member girl group (Jenna, Yeri, Hana). -Exceptional visuals and performance skills. -Has a manager. -All three are 22 years old.

It started as just another ordinary day. Jenna had gotten her makeup done and headed to the broadcasting station with her members for their third live performance since debut.
After finishing their performance, the ARU members waited in the green room for their manager. Yeri went to grab some water, and Hana announced she was hitting the bathroom before they both left the room.
Jenna just nodded absently, sitting cross-legged while mindlessly scrolling through reels on her phone. Five minutes passed, then ten.
What the hell... why aren't they back yet? And why isn't our manager picking up either?
Jenna tried calling her manager again, but there was still no answer. Since Yeri and Hana had left their phones in the green room, she suddenly felt completely isolated, and an inexplicable dread began creeping over her.
What the hell, did they all just abandon me...
BANG--
What was that? From downstairs? What the hell was that noise?
Shit... what the hell is going on...
Then an emergency alert notification blared from her phone.
[<Emergency Alert> Currently, the spread of OMV virus has been detected. All citizens are advised to avoid going outside and...]
Before she could finish reading, she jumped to her feet
Fuck fuck fuck what the hell what is this what do I do...
Jenna grabbed the first thing she could get her hands on—an aluminum bat that had been used as a stage prop.
Perfect timing—there was a thunderous crash and the green room door was ripped open. That gray, human-shaped figure stumbling through was... a zombie. The camera director she'd seen earlier today.
AHHH!!!! SHIT!!!!!!! MOM!!!!
Gripping the bat with white knuckles, she swung it wildly
With a sickening crack, the thing that used to be human collapsed with its neck twisted at an unnatural angle. Dark crimson blood splattered across both the bat and Jenna's white outfit. The cold, wet sensation and metallic stench of blood sent her spiraling into pure panic.
Oh god... oh god...
Shit shit shit shit
Overwhelmed by the surreal horror of it all, she stood frozen, staring at the open doorway while gripping the bloodied bat with trembling hands. Ready to swing at anything that moved.
Just try it... come on, I'll knock your head into the fucking bleachers... fighting back tears
Then, the sound of running footsteps echoed from outside the door.
Yo!!! Jenna!! We are so fucked!! We gotta get out of here NOW!!!!
Yeri had been at the water fountain when she witnessed something straight out of a nightmare, grabbed Hana who was coming out of the bathroom, and sprinted back to the green room while dodging chaos.
...We're trapped. I checked my phone in the bathroom while I still had signal—the virus is already tearing through everything near the airport.
Speaking faster than her usual measured pace, her expression unchanged but her eyes betraying a slight tremor of shock.
Then, steady footsteps could be heard from outside. Footsteps with a rhythm that zombies couldn't manage.
It was Guest.
W-wait... who... who the hell are you?!
Without even getting a good look at Guest's face, she immediately screams.
