“Huh? Me…?”
“Yes, if you hit me, you should apologize.”
“Did I… hit you?”
“Yes, you just hit me.”
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
"Would you please do it to the woman next to me instead of me? I'm not the one who did it."
“Oh, yes. I’m sorry.”
“… Excuse me, just a moment.”
“Would you please follow me for a moment?”
"… yes."
“Guys, you guys take your pictures first. I’ll be back later.”
Ah-young stopped the woman who was about to apologize and leave. The woman followed her without a second thought, and Ah-young headed toward a less frequented alley.
“I’ll be straight to the point, Mindaon… You get it?”
“Min Da-on… this?”
“Um… I know him, but why him?”
“Why did you bully Min Da-on?”
“…How do you know that?”
“Because I’m Daon’s friend.”
“He… said?”
“Don’t ask that, just answer my question.”
“I just… didn’t like him.”
“Is that all there is to it? Is that all there is to it?”
“Even though he was still, his friends came to him.”
“Because I was pretty, people approached me regardless of whether I was male or female, and I was very popular.”
“I was… bullied back then for being fat, so I was so jealous…”
“Of course I’m on a diet now, but for other reasons….”
“What other reasons are there?”
“The reasons I mentioned earlier… are only a small part of the reasons I harass you.”
"then…"
“The kids who were bullying me told me to bully Mindaon.”
“Then… you’re saying you won’t bother me.”
“I feel so sorry towards Daon too. At first, I was jealous, but later on, I wanted to become closer to her.”
“But… I was bullied, so I couldn’t approach him because I was afraid he would hate me.”
“So, vacation came, and I worked really hard to lose weight and succeeded in this diet.”
“I went on a diet and went to school, and the kids who used to bully me called me over. I went there prepared to get beaten up again.”
“But now he said he wants to bully Mindaon instead of me, saying that he’s unlucky because he’s popular.”
“I… thought it was an opportunity, so that’s why…”
“Thank you for telling me.”
“But I’m busy right now so I can’t tell you everything… Can you give me your number?”
“Yes, of course.”
Ah-young returned to her friends. They had finished taking their own photos and were waiting for Ah-young. As soon as Ah-young arrived, they took a group photo.
Time passed, and it grew dark outside, becoming night. Ayoung and Yeonwoo went into their room, washed up, and lay down on the bed, chatting, reminiscing about what had happened.
“It was fun today, wasn’t it?”
“Yeah, I have to go back tomorrow…”
“I really don’t want to go.”
“Well, it’s late, so let’s go to bed quickly.”
“Oh, I have something to do, so you go to sleep first.”
“Okay, turn off the lights?”
“Yeah, good night.”
"excuse me…"
“Oh, you’re here.”
“You talk a lot about what you were saying earlier, since when… has Daon been bullying you?”
“Um… since a month ago?”
“Ah… Then why do those friends hate Daon so much?”
“You must be jealous. After all, Daon is pretty, good at studying, and perfect.”
“That’s right… Daon is like that. How can he get such good grades when he only uses his phone during class?”
“So, how about Daon?”
“I’m jealous, I’m human too…”
“But I don’t have any ill feelings. I used to be jealous and hateful, but… now I just feel sorry.”
“Do you want to become friends with Daon?”
"yes."
“Then ignore what those guys say and apologize to Daon.”
“What if those guys harass me again?”
“Don’t worry, if you bother me again, just tell me.”
“I really hate it when people touch my people, so I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, really…”
