Jae-din didn't expect her seemingly normal day at school to turn out the way it did. She thought it would just be another day of tiring exams.She didn't realize she would have to fight to stay alive during a zombie apocalypse.
*The only characters...
"Wake up, Jae-din. You'll be late to school. You know you have exams today," I heard as my mom entered my room and pulled my covers off me.
"Come on, mom. I still have time before I have to get ready," I whined as I rolled over.
"No, you need to get ready now. You were nearly late yesterday, remember?" she replied while pulling me up out of my bed.
"I made it in time, don't worry mom."
"I don't won't to hear it," she replied playfully swatting my butt before leaving me to get ready.
"Aishhh, I guess I should hurry so I'm not late," I sighed while heading off to do my routine. I already had my outfit picked out. It consisted of my school uniform shirt and skirt, but I paired it with a black jacket and white socks.

I quickly got ready then went to the kitchen where my mom was sitting at the table. She had pulled out some leftover chicken I brought home last night for break fast. ___________________ Flashback
I sat cheering and applauding with the others as Cheong-san's mom put two plates of chicken in front of us.
Cheong-san, On-jo, I-sak, Gyeong-su, and I were all trying out a new recipe for Mrs. Lee.
"Looks great. Thank you," On-jo said as she smiled up at Mrs. Lee.
"Thanks a lot," I-sak thanked as she put chicken on her plate.
"It looks so good," Gyeong-su beamed while excitedly cutting into the chicken.
I smiled in thanks while hungrily grabbing some chicken as well.
"Why'd you bring out so much?" a grumpy Cheong-san asked his mom.
"Oh, yes. Remember, Jae-din and On-jo eat a lot," Mrs. Lee laughed while smiling kindly at us.
"Hey, we don't eat a lot, we just eat well," I replied with a smile.
"Oh, yes, sure. That's what I like to hear," she praised. Then she turned her attention to the others, "Eat up, Gyeong-su. You too, A-sak."
"It's I-sak, not A-sak," I-sak kindly corrected after chewing her food.
"Huh. You changed your name?" Mrs. Lee questioned jokingly.
I-sak awkwardly laughed with her then went back to eating. Cheong-san choose this moment to speak up.
"Mom. If you wanna change names, you should start with the restaurant. Why are you using my name?" He asked in an annoyed tone.
"I named it Cheongsan Chicken way before you were born," she responded.
"Exactly. You named me after the restaurant," he sulked. "I don't like-"
