02. Her knowing

"An Na, wake up darling!" Familiar voice could be heard. "You gonna be late for school."

Her eyes popped open and she stared at her familiar things with her big green eyes. Is this illusion or was that just a bad dream?

But... it was too real to be a dream.

Doors suddenly popped open and her younger sister rushed to her bed. She wanted to jump on her as usual to wake her up, but was caught by her and tickled until she pleaded for mercy.

On door her mother rolled her eyes and softly scolded them. "Hurry up. This is not our home. In this country they hate latecomers. Especially if they are late first day in school. Hurry. Your uniform is ready."

An Na jumped from bed and rushed to her mirror. Indeed, it is really her. Wait, did she say first day of school?

Oh no! That means they have less than month before Apocalypse starts. Going back to States? No. There was worse than in Asia and Europe. Not only did they got Zombies, they had many natural disasters and then even many of their nuclear plants broke and blew up, making zombies to grow powers faster.

Her heart was beating fast. This time... this time she will hold onto that golden goose and never let go.

She quickly changed her clothes and rushed away. In passing she kissed her mother and father and pulled her sister out, without even eating something.

Her father got deployed here as manager of textile company. On other hand her mother opened international language school and was quite good.

Being in mixed marriage gave them lots of problems in both countries, but they loved each other sincerely. The problem was that not many believed them.

Sarah looked at cab leaving and sighed. "Will they be fine?"

"You worry too much. If they could survive in all those countries I was working last few years, they can survive here as well." An Hui patted her shoulder and smiled at her. "We went trough so much to be together, do you think those two are raw vegetables?"

His two daughters were porcupines, filled with poisonous needles. Luckily they knew when to use the needles and when to be quiet.

An Na looked at her excited sister. "An Bi, don't let anyone step on you. If someone tries to trip you, trip him or her back. If they try to hit you, hit back. Never attack first and try to find corner where everything will be recorded. Don't let them lure you to unknown spots and bully you. Tsk, we survived so many things with father, those kids have no idea how powerful my little sister is. Better act like crazy and be alone, then to trample on you."

In her dream / prediction/ past life... whatever it was, she told her little sister to endure and almost got her killed by bullies. This time, fight until they call for their mother and father.

They stood in corner and as she spoke An Na's lips curved. In her dream that man came out of bushes and scolded her for being soft and stupid.

"But big sister, why?" An Bi was curious.

"Those kids learn from small on to claw their way in this world. You think they are rich and spoiled, you better erase those thoughts. They are like small wild snakes. Lively and poisonous. That is only be cause they don't know differently. An Bi, our father became CEO of one of biggest factories in country. If we let him lose his face by being bullied, even his partners will look down on him. Or do you think our cute father is cute in outside world?"

"No." An Bi shook her head. "I went once with him to the office and he became cold to anyone unrelated. He is cute and sweet only yo us."

"Exactly. So be like papa. Cold and icy to people ypu don't know. Be warm to those ypu like. But they have to earn your smile. Understood?" She softly commanded.

"Yes, ma'am!" An Bi cutely saluted and rushed off.

An Na chuckled. Beautiful smile shone in her face that slowly faded. "Sigh. She is going to be among snakes and I'll be torn apart by tigers, wolves, fixes and dragons. Tsk tsk..."

With those words she just turned around and wanted yo walk towards her school that was nearby, when tall youth popped out and stood in front of her.

With furrow she glanced at him and tried to pass, but he stepped in her way. "I'm older than you, not going to show respect yo your senior?"

"I'm senior year. You can be just as old as, I am. Pease step aside, I'll be late for first class." She hissed at him and just picked him up and softly put aside like he was mannequin.

He flabergastly stated at her and as she already entered the building, he started laughing, making few of his hidden guards almost faint. Young master laughed?
