Suddenly
" ....! "
The female protagonist woke up in a cold sweat. Looking around, she saw that she was in a dormitory and the sun was setting.
Did they bring you here...?
The heroine got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, staggering.
"Fuck...why do I look like this...?"
I thought there was a guy standing in front of the bathroom mirror. Seriously...
'Han Yeo-ju, are you feeling better?'
"Eww!! This is surprising!!"
Seol suddenly appeared and stuck her face out, so I was so startled that I almost collapsed on the floor, even though I already had no strength left in my body.
"N..I'm fine. Other than the fact that all the strength has drained from my body."
' Phew... I guess you'll have to be careful. The seal will be completely broken soon.'
"Isn't that a good thing?"
'Are you out of your mind? Do you think your body can handle it? You're still in that state;;'
" ah... "
' Miss... I'm anxious... '
"Phew... Anyway, don't ever do that again. I know you're upset, but you were almost in danger."
"Ah...sorry"
'Your friends were really worried'
"You were worried all along, even without dinner. You didn't go into the dorm and waited for me to wake up. I wonder if you're back in the dorm by now."
" what...?! "
The heroine was flustered, so she immediately grabbed her coat and ran outside.

Outside the dormitory building, she found seven people sitting on a bench. At this time, Yeoju felt an inexplicable emotion.
Why on earth do they treat me so well, even though I drew the line...
The heroine couldn't readily approach them. I just didn't know what was going on. I even resented myself. What could they possibly be saying? Why didn't I choose my family? I felt a sense of guilt. I only had one person to protect... but somehow, it seemed like there were more.
"Huh? It's Yeoju!"
Hoseok found me and approached me with a smile. He always smiled at me, no matter when, where, or what happened.
I walked towards them without even realizing it. My legs were shaking, but I approached them anyway.
"Hey lady, are you feeling better?"
"Your complexion doesn't look good... Are you okay?"
"Ah, Kim Seokjin, what are you doing? You try to do something. The female protagonist looks tired."
"Taehyung, isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
"Are you...okay?"
"Why are you staring at me like that without saying anything?"
" I don't know "
"Why are you guys doing this to me... Why did I do that to you? I talked badly to you... Why are you guys being nice to me?"
"I don't know how to take it."
"How do you take it? Just do what your heart desires. You don't have to think about it too seriously." Namjoon
" ...You don't hate me?"
"Honestly, I hated you when you suddenly distanced yourself from us. But we didn't hate you, we were just upset. I wish you thought of us as precious friends." Hoseok
"At first, you'll probably be upset for no reason, but we decided to trust you. You'll trust us just like we do." Yoongi
Tears welled up in the heroine's eyes. Until then, she had never had a true friend.

"Hey, I have plans today, so could you help me with the cleaning duties?"
" what...? "
"Friends can do this much, right?"
"We're not even that close, what;;?"
"Oh, can you do it just this once?"
" her? "
The absurd female protagonist refused to grant the boy's request, which was not a request at all. The next day
Drumroll
"Hey, I'm here, I'm here."
Noisy
The female protagonist went to school as usual, but the class atmosphere was so tense that it was disconcerting.
"What, what's going on...?"
She approached her friend and asked, but was lightly ignored. The heroine was flustered and dumbfounded, until she spotted the same kid from yesterday who had been laughing at her.
"Ha...fuck lol"
Even if it was absurd, it wasn't that bad. Just looking at it, I could tell I wanted to beat up that kid who spread weird rumors about yesterday and made me look like a weirdo.
I'm so dumbfounded, I'm going to come out like that, right? I'm going to go out alone, damn it;; I said.
At first, I thought things were okay for a while, but as the days went by, I started to hate myself for being ostracized and everything became difficult. That's how I had a hard time until I graduated from middle school.
When I first started high school, I didn't want to go through the same horrible experience I had in middle school. So, I prioritized relationships above all else. I lived by others' standards, not my own. People thought I was sociable, cool, always cheerful, and kind. They didn't realize I was acting out of fear of being abandoned...
"Lady, lend me some money."
"Hey lady, can you do this for me?
"Hey, show me your homework."
"Ah, Han Yeo-ju is so funny lol"
"Hey lady!"
"Hey lady"
"Han Yeo-ju!"

As a result of living a life catering to others, I've made a lot of friends. They all sought me out and needed me. But I never had a single friend I could share my secrets with. I longed for true friends, not just friends in name, but I never had one. I don't even know what a true friend is, because I've never had one.
So one day, I, who was living a simple life, suddenly had to transfer. I was half confused, half worried, and my head was pounding at the thought of making friends again.
But from the very first day I transferred, I was treated with contempt and became an unwelcome, unwelcome guest. I didn't even want to be born a psychic...
I didn't show it, but honestly, I was mentally exhausted. But Hoseok was the one who approached me differently than others. I was secretly grateful to Hoseok. At that time, it seemed like everyone else hated me, so I decided to make just one good friend. Since those who already hated me would always hate me, there was no reason to act or speak to them, so I decided to find my natural personality and act accordingly. And when I had lunch with Hoseok's friends, I worried. The problem was, worrying wasn't worth it; I just ate well in the delicious school lunch...
I briefly wondered if I could become friends with Hoseok's friends, but I quickly became close with them. It was embarrassing.
But I shouldn't trust him. The only person I could trust was Namjoon, not Hoseok. I made up my mind. I wouldn't trust anyone else in this place but Namjoon. I wouldn't give him any more affection, and I'd build a stronger wall.
But why am I... being shaken by you now...?
A true friend I thought I would never have again... To me, who thought no one was precious to me except my family...
I feel like I have someone precious in front of me now.
We trust you
Can I trust you, can I expect you... me
Am I...the kind of person who can do that?
Taehyung looked at me and nodded.
ah...
"Thank you, really."
The heroine smiled beautifully. It was an expression she had never seen before. It was clear that she had accepted them. She had finally found a true friend, someone precious to her.
Thank you, thanks to you, I found myself. It was thanks to you all that I believed in myself that I was able to return to my original self.
