"Poor thing. How lonely it would be without friends."
"There was also a rumor that he was forced to transfer."
The whispers at school are now a familiar sound. I still wonder why the kids are swearing at me. But if I ask them why, they'll just look at me with contempt and a look that says, "Do you really not know?" They say they just don't like me. At first, when I didn't realize it, I tried so hard to impress them, but it only backfired. Now, they say I'm too much of a burden. How can I impress them and fit in again?
"00ah!"
"...I told you not to come."
The guy who approaches me, calling me by my name so brightly, is Jeon Jungkook. He transferred school not long after I was bullied, and he keeps doing this and that to me. He knows I'm being bullied, so why is he doing this to me?
It was lunchtime, and Jeon Jungkook came to me again.
"Hey, 00, have you eaten lunch? If not, do you want to go to the store?"
" .. Okay. Stop coming closer to me. I don't want to give my heart to you."
" still..! "
"Don't come!! Why are you doing this to me?"
" !... "
When I yelled at Jeon Jeong-guk, all the kids in the classroom looked at me and started whispering.
"..What? Are you even yelling now?"
"Those people who don't know what they're talking about... Oh my..."
"Why are you doing that when you're being bullied?"
What I thought was simple bullying suddenly turned into ostracism, and I was so flustered that I stormed out of the classroom.
After school, I came home, and I felt that if I continued to live like this, Jeon Jungkook would have a harder time, so I made an extreme choice. I put on my coat at home, grabbed my phone and the letter I had written in advance, and went up to the roof of my apartment. My parents weren't home either.
"The weather is nice and cool."
I took off my shoes, put the letter next to me, and climbed onto the railing. I closed my eyes and thought of Jeon Jungkook. All the things Jeon Jungkook did for me, how he always contacted me, how he always comforted me, all flashed through my mind, and at the same time, tears flowed from my eyes like a waterfall. I came down from the railing and cried.
I stopped crying and headed to Jeon Jungkook's house, which I'd told you about before. I didn't know why I was going there, but my legs and thoughts led me there. It started to rain on the way, but I didn't have an umbrella, so I just walked quickly toward Jeon Jungkook's house. Jeon Jungkook's house was on a residential street with many shops nearby. I arrived at Jeon Jungkook's house, drenched in rain, and called him.
- Excuse me, can I see you for a moment?
- Okay! I'll wait outside.
- thank you.
Jeon Jungkook came out dressed with a lot of thought put into it. As soon as he saw me, he started to comfort me, asking why I came without an umbrella and why I was dressed so warmly. He even covered me with his coat. Seeing Jeon Jungkook being so affectionate toward me despite my anger at school brought tears to my eyes again.
"Ugh... Heuheu... I, I won't... Heuheu..."
"Uh..uh..why are you crying..no, you don't have to be sorry..!"
Jeon Jungkook tried to comfort me while I was crying, but he didn't know how to comfort me, and he even comforted me while hugging me. Jeon Jungkook and I were definitely bigger than each other, so I fit perfectly in his arms.
After my tears stopped flowing a bit, I explained to Jeon Jungkook what had just happened. I was actually going to break up with the world today, but when I closed my eyes, I thought of you and came running. Jeon Jungkook smiled like a baby rabbit and said thank you for not breaking up with the world and holding me. I didn't know I could save people. That day, I asked Jeon Jungkook if he would date me, and at that time, Jeon Jungkook was so happy and kept talking about how I was going to confess. But he was happy because he knew you liked me instead, and that day we swore to love each other forever.

Since then, we've been liking and loving each other and living happily. Jeon Jungkook has always been grateful to me since then.
