I finally entered high school today!
I'm so excited. What will happen next?
3/3
I saw a handsome kid at school today. There's no way that face was human.
I must definitely talk to him later.

For some reason, there's always no one next to that handsome guy. Why is that?
He has the kind of looks that anyone would fall for.

I saw that handsome boy getting hit by other kids.
Are you being bullied? I want to help in some way.
-
"Ugh, hot, ugh..!"
"Hey you little shit, if you make that noise it sounds like we're harassing you.
Huh? Shut up. "
" ... Ugh!"
"Hey, teacher, here you come!"
"Oh f*ck, seriously. Hey Kim Taehyung, you know you're lucky.
"See you later during break time?"
" ... "
I saw it.
' ...! '
That kid is right.
"Whew..."
He sighed deeply as if he was used to it.
The sight of him walking slowly caught my eye.
"I dropped my student ID..."
I can't eat lunch without this.
"What are you doing, Han Yeo-ju? It'll be over soon!"
"Okay, I'll go!"
-
"Han Yeo-ju."
"Han Yeo-ju?"
"Hey, Han Yeo-ju!!!!"
"Huh? "
"I called out to him to eat lunch, but there was no answer.
What are you thinking about? "
"No, just..."
I kept thinking about that kid's back.
Oh, what should I do? I wonder if he's eating.
"We're having spaghetti for lunch today."
"Wow, this looks so delicious."
"...Hey guys, you three are going to eat together today. I'm going to go somewhere."
"What, where is Han Yeo-ju?"
"I'm sorry, there's someone I'm worried about."
"Is Han Yeo-ju finally escaping from being single?"
"Oh really - "
"Okay, go ahead - "
-
As expected, it was as expected.
The kid was loitering around in front of the cafeteria.
The moment I was about to approach him after thinking about it,
"Hey Kim Taehyung, you don't even have a student ID anymore?"
"Wow, I guess this kid isn't even human."
"F*ck lol so fucking pitiful."
" ... "
"Hey, are you deaf? Answer me."
"Oh, this is so frustrating. Let's just go. I'm hungry."
"Our Taehyung doesn't eat while going to the bathroom, right? I'm worried about him - "
It was certain.
He was bullied.
"Over there... this."
" ...! "
"You were looking for your student ID, right? I found it earlier."
" ..thank you. "
I was a bit concerned about the way he answered in a hushed voice.
"If you don't have anyone to eat with, do you want to eat with me?
If it makes you uncomfortable, I won't talk to you."
" ...no. "
" why? "
"You might get bullied too. Eat with the other kids."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just sit next to you."
" ... "

I developed a relationship with Taehyung, eating together. My friends were a little upset.
But he doesn't say much. Taehyung seems to have brightened up a little.
-
Now that he's gotten used to it, he's starting to talk a little bit.
We exchanged small talk,
That kind of daily life was happy.
For example, this,
"But why are you eating next to me?"
"I just like being by your side."
" ... "
Suddenly, Taehyung started eating his food in a slurp.
"You're going to get sick if you do that - "
"Keuk, ugh, ugh."
"I knew it. I'll get you some water. Just wait."
" ...thank you. "
Taehyung's expressions are still awkward, but he has brightened up a little.
It felt good to see that we were becoming closer little by little.
-
"Do you want to go to the store? They said they have new bread in the store."
"What kind of bread? I've never been to a convenience store before."
"You can come with me, let's go."
"Okay, go-"
"Wow, Kim Taehyung, you're hanging out with girls these days. They say even a snail can roll around."
"What the f*ck, you left us alone to go play with some girl?"
But clouds began to gather over those happy days.

These days, Taehyung is distancing himself from me. He even eats with me less often. The bullying seems to have gotten worse. What should I do?
-
"Ugh, huh, uh, huh."
"I told you to shut up, you fucking piece of shit. You don't listen to me."
"Isn't this kid going to commit suicide at this rate?"
"Oh, that's right. Taehyung, if you write our names in the suicide note and act like that, I'll kill your family and everything."
" ... "
"That girl you used to play with isn't coming to your rescue? She was always following you around. Did she get abandoned? She's so pitiful."
" ..don't touch the female lead, ugh!"
"Who said it was okay to say that, Han Yeo-ju, that girl seems to be the most precious to you?"
' ..! '
I found out why Taehyung kept his distance from me.
It was a last-ditch effort to keep me from getting caught up in it.
'Teacher, I have to go to you.'
Where was the teachers' office?
Oh, I have to pass through there.
What should I do, if I pass by there, Taehyung will see me.
Bushuruk -
'Ah, why is trash thrown here..!'
"Huh? The girl you like is here."
" ..!!!! "

Taehyung cried in front of me. He said he was so sorry. He was so sad that there was nothing I could do to help. I don't think he'll be able to go to school tomorrow. The wound on his face is burning. I wonder what will happen to Taehyung.
-
"Hey, Iljin, I heard Kim Taehyung and Han Yeoju aren't coming out today?"
"That's good. I didn't want to see that. That girl, Han Yeo-ju, is stupid.
Why are you hanging out with that kid? "
"..Kim Taehyung isn't going to commit suicide, right?"
"Oh, come on, why did he kill himself? Because he got hit a little."

♬♪♩♬♪♩
Late one night, the phone suddenly rang.
'Taehyung? Why are you calling at this hour?'
" hello? "
" ...my lady."
"Oh, why, what's going on?"
I could feel my voice shaking.
For some reason, I had a bad feeling about this.
" ..Can you come out to the park for a moment now?"
"Okay, I'll go right now."
-
I continued to feel uneasy as I went to the park.
The image of Taehyung being beaten by the kids kept flashing through my mind.
Is it okay,
What if I have bad intentions?
Ah, I have to go quickly.
-
" ..my lady."
Fortunately, Taehyung was sitting on the bench and staying still.
"What's going on, calling everyone at this hour?"
" ... "
After a moment of silence, Taehyung suddenly began to burst into tears.
Even though I quickly hugged her head, the crying didn't stop.
"I, uh, actually. Hehe, I tried to kill myself. Hehe."
What Taehyung said was shocking.
"I was looking down as if I was about to fall, sob, sob. At that moment, I thought I would think of my parents, but sigh. To my surprise, your face suddenly came to mind, and sigh. When I thought about you. I won't be able to see you again. I didn't want to die. Sob, I hated it."
" ... "
"I, hmph, want to try to do well with you. I know it'll be really sudden, I know, but I don't think I can, I can't live without you anymore."

"I'm glad you survived that time."
"Yeah, I'm glad too."
"Why you?"
"I really liked you, if I couldn't live with you, I would really die."
"Oh really, just pick a picture quickly. This one is better, this one is better."
"The heroine is pretty no matter what she does. She'll be pretty even if she puts shit on her face."
"Who put a picture of someone with poop in their wedding photo, quick."
"I have this."
Side -
" ...don't be a jerk."
"I really love you."
" ..I love you too. "
