I’ve been obsessed with 'All of Us Are Dead' fanfics lately, especially how writers flesh out Cheong-san and On-jo’s relationship. The zombie apocalypse setting forces them to confront their feelings in ways a normal high school romance never could. Some fics focus on the desperation—Cheong-san’s protective instincts cranked to 100, while On-jo’s practicality clashes with her fear of losing him. The best ones don’t just rely on survival tropes; they weave quiet moments between chaos, like sharing scraps of food or huddling for warmth, to show intimacy growing under pressure.
Other stories dive into guilt—Cheong-san blaming himself for not confessing sooner, or On-jo regretting missed chances. There’s a recurring theme of time running out, literally and emotionally. One standout fic had them barricaded in a classroom, whispering childhood memories while zombies scratched at the door. It’s raw and visceral, and that’s what makes their love story hit harder. The apocalypse strips away pretenses, leaving only honesty and vulnerability.
