domestic violence

Ep.1

Hi. I'm Won Do-ah, 16. I go to Bonek High School. I'm always quiet. Why? Because there are strange rumors going around about me. Actually, I'm a victim of domestic violence. My father drinks and is always violent towards me. My mother passed away trying to save me. So, I always cover up my scars and wear a hat to school. One day, I was walking down the hallway and bumped into someone. As I was apologizing and leaving, my hat fell off. The kids in the hallway saw the big scar on my face, and from then on, I fought 20-on-1 and won. That's how I got that scar. They said my family runs a gang. And things like that. So I always walked around like a mouse. That was until that kid transferred to our school...

Drumroll

@: Okay~ Everyone, focus (knock knock) Today, a transfer student came to our class, Sanghyuk. Do you want to come in?

The kids in my class went crazy because a really handsome boy transferred into our class, and even the kids in the next class came in droves to see the transfer student.

"Hello. I'm Lee Sang-hyeok, a transfer student from XX Middle School. Nice to meet you."

@: Okay, okay.. Sanghyuk, should we go next to the guy with the hat behind us?

"yes."

Sanghyuk goes to the seat next to Doah and sits down.

"Hello? What's your name?"

- Don't talk to me.

"Huh? Uh... sorry"

Doa sleeps face down.

Break time

As soon as break time starts, the kids in the class flock to Sanghyuk's seat.

Woman: Sanghyuk, you're so handsome.

Man: Hey, do you play soccer?

Woman 3: Can you give me your number?

"Ah... haha ​​sorry"

While the other boys were talking to Sanghyuk, the boys who were watching Sanghyuk from the door said to him.

Boys: Hey~ What are you going to do about that transfer student sitting next to you? He's a gangster, lol. The reason he wears a hat is because he got a scar from a fight and he wants to cover it up.

"uh??"

Sanghyuk looks at Doah in surprise.
But Doa was still lying face down.

@: Hey!! It's the end, what are you doing, kids? Hurry up and sit down and open your book to page 19,000.

As he was about to start class, he pulled out his book and Doa, who had been lying face down, stood up. Without saying a word, she took out her textbook and quietly listened to the lesson. Then, Sanghyuk wrote something on a piece of paper and showed it to Doa.

But there was no answer. Doa simply ignored him, crumpled up the paper, and threw it on the floor.

"Hey.. I wrote something on paper and gave it to you. Didn't you see it?"

- Don't talk to me.

@: Hey, what are you guys doing? Why are you talking during class? You both should go outside and stand there!!

- under...

"Yes... I'm sorry."

Drumroll

We were the only ones in the hallway, and silence flowed.

"hey"

- Don't talk to me.

"Are you a gangster?"

For a moment, Do-ah got angry. The kid who came for the first time today had heard from another kid that there was a rumor that I was a gangster and asked Do-ah if I was a gangster, and she hated Sang-hyeok for believing that.

- Are you a dad? Don't worry;;

"What.. I was just asking;; Why are you suddenly angry?"

After hearing that, Won Do-ah went out to the school playground.

"Hey Wondo, where are you?!?!"

Won Do-ah ignored Sang-hyeok's words and left.

After class

@: Hey, what's going on? Where did Wondo go?

"I told you not to go to the school playground earlier, but you ignored me and just went."

@: What? Sigh... I wonder when he'll get better...

"Ah... Hey, do you happen to know why he's like that..?"

@: Why are you doing that?

"Ah.. Actually, I'm his best friend, but I heard that the kids dislike him because of some rumor.. I'm curious about what the rumor is, and I also want to become close with him."

@: Hmm.. Okay, I understand. Come to the teachers' office.

Teacher's office

@: Hmm... That's the strange rumor that's been going around about Doa for a while now.

"What's the rumor..?"

@: It looks like Doa has a big scar on her face. The kids saw it. So they spread a strange rumor that Doa is a gangster and got a scar from a 20-on-1 fight. That's why Doa walks around wrapped up like that. But no one knows if the rumor is true or not. How could anyone know if she walks around wrapped up like that?

"Ah... 'So that's why you were angry when I asked you earlier...'"

@: So, what I'm saying is... Sanghyuk hasn't been here long since he transferred, but can he take care of our Doah a little bit??

"Yes, of course. I'll take good care of it."

@: Okay, thank you. I'll be going now. The next class starts soon.

"Yes, goodbye."

Drumroll

"Ha.. My name is Won Do-ah.. It's so sad that such rumors are spreading because of my scar..'"

Drumroll

Sanghyuk returns to his class and sits down. Then he speaks to Wondoah.

"Hey, Wondo."

- I told you not to talk to me.

"sorry."

- what?

"I'm sorry"

- suddenly...?

"I just... I transferred today, and I'm sorry for asking you that question after only listening to the kids. You must have felt bad."

- ....are you okay

Won Do-ah was talking to Sang-hyeok, but she still had her head bowed and her hat pressed down on her head.

After school

The kids packed their bags and headed home. Sanghyuk, who had not yet received his textbooks for his first day of school, went to get them, and Wondoah was asleep. When Sanghyuk returned to the classroom after receiving his textbooks, Doa was awake.

"...Hey Wondo"

- ... why

"Hey, give me your number"

- 010-1234-5678

"Thank you. I'll contact you."

Doa packed her bag without saying anything and left for the classroom.

- 'What the heck? Why do you keep talking to me? I kept pushing him away, but for some reason... does he want to get closer to me? ...No. Come on, Won-do. I don't trust anyone. No? I won't.'

Won Do-ah hits her head and goes home.
