Delighted to escape her old life, she fully embraces her new role, eagerly anticipating a fairytale romance with the novel's main love interest, Jeha. Operating with what readers call "main character syndrome," Chaerin is oblivious to the unsettling signs around her, perceiving unwell students—who others note should go to the nurse's office—as nothing more than indistinct, shadowy figures. The chapter builds towards a pivotal romantic moment, a confession from the male lead. However, as he embraces her from behind, the expected sweet scene turns into a terrifying reveal. Chaerin discovers he has become a zombie, and the chapter ends on this shocking cliffhanger, abruptly shifting the genre from a high school romance to a zombie horror thriller, a twist that left many readers stunned.
