Across the river of time

111. Yuna and Yewon (3)

(Yuna's point of view)

I cried in the bathroom for a long time and then came into the classroom.

Druk

When I opened the classroom door,

My friends were laughing at me

친구1

Hahaha hey the pig is here

친구2

Hey, what's a pig? It's a wild boar...

What did I do wrong?

Just...gained weight..?

Did I do that one thing wrong...?

유나

......

I know too

I'm fat and ugly...

But in the meantime

I've been getting along well with my friends

I thought that happiness would last forever...

In this kind of false accusation...

In an instant...

I became a loner with no friends

at least....

At least the friends I used to hang out with...

I thought you would believe me

It wasn't

Rather, the person who believed in me

Someone who wasn't even close to me

It was only 'Kim Ye-won'

In the first grade of elementary school

I am...

I felt such a great sense of loss

My friends don't see me as a person

Treated like a 'pig'

me too...

I want to lose weight too...

Mom...

If you tell me you want to lose weight, I'll get angry...

ha....

What should I do...

♩Ding dong dang dong♪

When I came to my senses, school was already over.

I got ready to go home from school.

at that time,

친구1

Hey pig

유나

....

I tried to ignore it

From the moment I answer or react

Because I'm admitting that I'm a pig...

친구2

Hey!! Pig!!!

유나

......

Ignored again

친구2

Hey!! Choi Yu-nya!! Why are you ignoring us??

Only then did I look back.

유나

.....

친구1

Why do you keep ignoring us?

친구1

Anyway, that's it

친구1

You follow us

유나

.....no

친구1

Yuna, we have something to talk about.

It's not 'pig' or 'Choi Yuna', it's 'Yuna'

In that one soft word

I feel like I'm possessed by something

I followed them

but,

At that time I...

I shouldn't have followed those kids...

****

Those kids took me to the alley behind the school.

유나

What do you have to say?

친구1

Haha... Are we really going to do this and call each other?

유나

what?

친구2

We do have something to say!!

유나

Where are you?

친구2

Yewon, you say this

예원

....no

After that one word,

Yewon kept her lips tightly shut and said nothing.

친구1

Really...? Then we'll tell you.

친구2

Yuna

친구2

You're right

유나

?!?!?!??!?!

Before I could even say anything,

The child's foot struck my stomach.

유나

ah!!

In so much pain

I screamed and fell to the floor.

친구2

What? You have a lot of belly fat, so it doesn't even hurt!!

유나

!!!

Today...really...

I get shocked several times

but...

I didn't cry

No.. to be honest

I was so shocked

I think it would be more correct to say that I 'couldn't' cry.

Before I knew it, tears began to well up in my eyes.

유나

Huh...huh...

친구1

Hey..lol what if you cry already?

친구1

It hasn't even started yet, hit

I raised my head and looked up.

Yewon... was seen

Yewon stood still, expressionless.

Honestly...a little

No... I was very upset

Even Yewon, who was protecting me...

You don't protect me anymore...

No, from the beginning

With something that was done a little better

Maybe I was mistaken...

Haha... Really Choi Yuna

You must have been really lonely

Alone...I imagined that Kim Ye-won was protecting me...

really...

I'm so pissed....

친구2

What are you looking at? A pig?

친구2

Do you want to get hit one more time?

Puck puck

I got hit five or six more times after that.

Every single blow those kids give

Not only did it hurt me physically,

It even gave me mental scars

Seriously... I'm only in first grade

I couldn't believe they were doing such a horrible thing.

I received an indelible emotional scar from the children who beat me.

Yewon...

I didn't do anything when I was hit

I didn't do anything...

Still, it hurt me

Of course, not as many as those who directly committed violence...

and,

This situation is...

It lasted for a whole four months....

When... can you let me know...?
