Surprisingly, the school was quiet. Perhaps because we were so similar, everyone seemed to ignore us. I made a friend named Seokjin, and we gradually started talking more at school.
“Can I.. say this..”
I scribbled down the words I'd been holding in my mouth, one by one, on a notebook shaded by the sunlight. The once-pristine paper, line by line, quickly became filled with stories. Seokjin, watching me from the side, smiled at my monologue and said,
"Sure. The world won't fall apart."The words, "The world won't end," pierced deep into my heart. A corner of me that had been heavy felt instantly lifted by someone's words. I tore up the notebook I'd written, folded it neatly, and put it in my pocket.
"But, heroine, what did you write? I'm curious."
I looked at Seokjin, smiled, and clutched my pockets, hiding my flushed face.
"It's a secret, I'll tell you later."
Ding dong dang dong-
The bell rang. I quickly pulled a book out of the drawer and opened it. Class began, and Seokjin handed me a piece of paper.
‘Is there anything you wanted to do when you made friends at school?’
‘I didn’t think about it’
‘I have it, but you’re the only friend I have.’
"What is it? I'll help you within the appropriate limits."
‘…@&@’
It happened again. My heart started racing again, just like the day I first met Seokjin. I tore the paper, crumpled it up, and hid it in my pocket, then focused on class. The stinging gaze from the seat next to me made my heart race even harder.
So, I started to chew on each word carefully, write it down in a notebook, and then spit it out one by one.
Tang tang-
The teacher struck the desk with a stick. He seemed furious, and smoke appeared to be rising from his head. Of course, it wasn't my fault.
"who is this."
It's really none of my business... no...
“It’s been two weeks. Come out.”
I don't want to be my boss.
“Teacher, please calm down..”
"Right? It's Kim Taehyung again, right? You again, huh? Yeah, that's not even surprising. You were raising your hand in front of the teacher's office last week, too, so you were trying to throw this thing away, right?"
"Teacher, the perpetrator is reflecting on his actions. Please show leniency..."
“Follow me.”
Drumroll-
I carefully pushed open the door to the staff room. The room was unusually quiet. All the teachers had gone, but the homeroom teacher was still seated.
“Taehyung, take a seat.”
The teacher's face darkened and his low voice made the air heavy.
“Yesterday was that..”
“Well done. Manly.”
The teacher smiled, took hold of my fidgeting hands, and opened his mouth.
“But, not yet. You’re still a teenager.”
“Yes.. I’m sorry.”
“A real man knows how to hold back and control his anger. That’s what schools are for.”
“…”
“I thought you were all grown up, but you’re still a kid. A kid.”
“How come he doesn’t seem to be as mature as my son?”
"I guess your son has a knack for studying..."
“Our son was born last year.”
Today, for the first time, I learned and mastered something at school. For the first time, I met a person called a ‘teacher’ and saw my guide. My teacher always scolded me, but today he smiled at me.

Seokjin's point of view
Back home, I sorted through my clothes. Something caught my eye in my coat pocket, and upon taking it out, I found a neatly folded piece of paper. Without hesitation, I unwrapped it and took in the beautiful words.

I'm glad you're my first friend, Seokjin. Thank you.

"I told you this kid is secretly a fox. Did he read my note too?"

Yeoju's point of view
“Sister, I’m not going to buy anything today.”
“…Somehow that makes me feel more uneasy.”
I was changing clothes and putting my coat in the laundry basket when a crumpled piece of paper fell out. I unfolded it, thinking it was a receipt.
