[Contest 3] How to Protect You

Episode 2. I didn't want to get caught...

김석진

Everything is out... Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

박지민

What is it? Tell me quickly, or I'm just leaving.

김석진

Um... she's a girl named Kim Yeo-ju... We used to be close back in the day. But I... ha... no, I just think it's enough that you know I was a jerk this time, but as for why I did what I did... I really regret it. The first time Kim Yeo-ju and I met was on the rooftop when we were in 3rd year of middle school.

Kim Yeo-ju, whom I met for the first time, was sitting on the edge of the rooftop crying... no, she might have been attempting suicide.

김석진

"What are you doing there...?"

김여주

Can't you tell by looking..? I'm crying.. lol

She said she was crying, but her eyes held so much meaning. She didn't need to say it out loud, but I wonder if everyone has felt it at least once... that feeling of butting into a place where you shouldn't... The moment I saw those eyes, I felt exactly that.

김석진

"Why are you crying here... I'll listen, tell me."

But on the other hand, that look in his eyes was like he was dying, begging me to help him just once, so I think I spoke to him without even realizing it.

김여주

You don't have to listen... I've never really expected much from my life... but I think it would be wiser to just disappear... heh.

The word that came to mind the moment I heard those words was 'friend.' I blurted it out without even realizing it... I said it so suddenly and out of the blue...

김석진

"Let's... be friends"

However, that one remark at that time might have changed the female lead's mind.

김여주

"Suddenly friends... heh. It's okay... I don't need friends. I've managed just fine without them until now...? Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."

김석진

You look fine on the outside. You just need to fix your heart. I don't know what happened, but let's try to fix your heart together.

Upon hearing this, you started crying even more... and told me... everything that had happened...

He said that friends bullied him, his dad beat him, his mom screamed at him, he ran away from home, got caught and brought back, went back home, and was bullied again... This happened every day.

And so, that story became a secret between you and me.

But now it has become a secret shared by all seven of them.
