박우진
...

On Woojin's desk were written notes mixed with ridicule and teasing directed at him, and on the blackboard were pictures of Donghyun and Woojin together.

Woojin took down the pictures stuck on the blackboard with a stiff expression.


박우진
Who the hell would do something like this...

At that moment, Woojin met eyes with Go00, who was laughing heartily.

박우진
I was wondering why those kids were so quiet these days.

Woojin clenched his fists in rising anger.

But that was only for a moment

고00
Hey Park Woojin, you look a little tired today? Haha. You must have worked hard last night~?

The children in the class, including Go00, began to harass and mock Woojin.

And then, soon, Dong-Hyeon's name came out of their mouths.


박우진
..what the heck

박우진
Where did it go wrong?

박우진
No matter where it went wrong, it was ultimately me who was the cause.

박우진
If only I hadn't offended Go00...

박우진
If only I had behaved better...

박우진
Because of me, Donghyun hyung...

Woojin found this situation so disgusting.

My stomach was churning so much that I felt like throwing up at any moment.

In the end, Woojin ran to the bathroom before class started.

Because those kids' behavior is so dirty.

Because I want to escape from this situation, even if it's just a little bit.

But Go00 and his group did not let Woojin go easily.

They immediately followed Park Woo-jin.

As Woojin entered the bathroom, Go00 and his group blocked Park Woojin as if they had been waiting for him.

고00
Hey lol catch this kid


박우진
!

As Go00 instructed, the two friends next to him held Woojin's arms and legs so that they could not move.


박우진
Ugh, let go of this.

고00
What the hell is this dirty gay bastard talking about

고00
Hey, let's take this kid's pants off. Isn't this how you make an election? LOL

Then, while his friends were mocking him for being dirty, Go00 grabbed Woojin's pants.


박우진
What are you doing! Are you crazy?

고00
Hey hey, stay still, it's not going well!

Go00 struck the struggling Park Woojin in the abdomen.


박우진
Ugh...

at that time

Dong-Hyeon, who was returning to his class after a meeting, happened to witness this situation.


김동현
Hey. What are you guys doing?

고00
Hey Park Woojin, your boyfriend is here~ Be romantic~ ㅋㅋ

고00
Don't worry about it and just go away~


김동현
You stop. And what is your boyfriend talking about?

고00
Haven't you heard? There's a rumor going around among the second-year students that you're dating Woojin.


김동현
Huh, what does that have to do with what you guys are doing?

고00
Just ㅋㅋ isn't it dirty that there's a guy like this at school and the senior is like, "Oh, my boyfriend, so you're only taking this kid's side~?" Isn't that unfair? Seriously..


김동현
I don't know who spread that rumor, but Woojin and I are just close siblings.


김동현
It would be the same for Woojin too

Donghyun might have said anything to help Woojin in this situation.

Woojin felt hurt by those words.

The frustration of expecting something to be accomplished alone.

The pain of suffering alone.

Woojin took advantage of the bullies' letdown and shook them off.


박우진
Stop it, Donghyun hyung, what you said is true.


박우진
And brother, I'll take care of my own business, so don't interfere.


김동현
Woojin..?

Woojin left the bathroom as is.

School dismissal time

Dong-Hyeon tried to enter the house with Woo-Jin as usual, but today Woo-Jin was nowhere to be seen.


김동현
Are you upset?

In the end, Dong-Hyeon went home alone.

When Dong-Hyeon came home, Woo-Jin wasn't home.


김동현
What the... Did you go to a convenience store or something?


김동현
Well, I'll be back soon.

Exactly 30 minutes after Donghyun returned home, Woojin returned home.


김동현
Woojin, are you here? Why are you so late...

But Woojin's appearance was strange.

Woojin was out of breath as if he had run.

The clothes were tattered

There were bruises all over his body.

But the most striking of them all was

There were handprints and nail marks on the wrist.


김동현
Hey, Park Woojin, what's going on?


김동현
What happened?


김동현
Tell me, okay?


박우진
..


박우진
brother..

Is it because something that had been building up exploded?

Woojin said with tears in his eyes.

What kind of guy is Go00?

Why did his life become like this because of that kid?

What has that kid been doing up until now?

And what happened today


박우진
Bro, I'm sorry because of me...


박우진
Those kids...

Dong-Hyeon clenched his fists in anger after hearing Woo-Jin's words.

김동현
Those cruel bastards...

김동현
How can someone's life be ruined like this because of something in the past?


김동현
Woojin, it's okay now...


김동현
I will protect you no matter what happens..

Dong-Hyeon comforted Woo-Jin for a long time.


김동현
Are you okay now..?


박우진
Yeah... I think it's gotten a little better.


박우진
I was so scared..


김동현
Woojin-ah


박우진
huh?


김동현
Let's take pictures of the wounds now.


김동현
Let's leave these as evidence and report them to the police now.


김동현
You can't keep quiet at school


김동현
I won't let it end with forced transfer.

박우진
This guy... is cool...


박우진
Bro.. thank you

박우진
After gathering evidence, I went to the police station and filed a complaint against Go00 and his friends.

박우진
Of course, those guys ended up in jail for rape and school violence.

박우진
If it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't have been able to respond like this.

박우진
Still, I'm afraid of the retaliation that will come to me after those guys' time in prison ends.
