➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
    You could hear a little girl crying in a school's storage room where no one's around. That girl is Nari. Ever since she entered middle school, she started getting bully to the max. Herself not knowing how to stand up for herself, scare to tell anyone about how she feel inside & the pain she's having atm. Nari was bullied and got locked inside a dirty old storage room. She was so scare cause her one fear was being in the darkness. She hates the darkness so much cause when she was little, she will always get locked in a tight closet cause her mom doesn't want Nari to see her get beat up by her step dad which is now divorced. Nari would cry in the closet quietly, scare to death. But now, even when she's in middle school. Bullies still hurt her and lock her in a room alone in the dark. 

   After hours of being locked in there, Suddenly someone opened the storage room. The janitor came to grab things to clean the school. Nari got up quickly and rushed out of the storage room. The janitor couldn't even see her face clearly, cause she already rushed far away. 

  Everyday Nari will get hurt and bully behind the school. Bullies will hit her and throw powder & eggs at her calling her,'You poor person, you ugly person, you  fatherless person & etc.' Everything that happens to Nari is basically from Gayeon. Nari would pretty much cry every morning, but hides her tears during the school day til home. Nari has no one but herself. No one even dares to talk nor make friends with her.

  One day as Nari was eating in the classroom alone, suddenly some girls came in and tip over her table, making her food that her mom made her, spilled everywhere on the ground. Nari got up and shouted,"WHAT IS THIS?!" One girl came up close to her saying,"What are you gonna do about it?!" Nari tighten her fist and pushed that girl hard to the ground full of anger. The girl who tries to bully Nari right there was Rina, a close friend of Gayeon. The other girls helped Rina up and Rina quickly smack Nari's cheek yelling,"You dare to push me?! You low class self!!!! Guys(her friends) Hold onto her, let me show her where's her spot at!" Rina's friends held her down and Rina started beating Nari up. Nari held in the pain, without a single sound. Her face has scratches, her lip is bleeding, & her knee is bruised. They pushed her to the ground and rushed away as one of their friend said the teacher was coming. 

  Nari laid on the ground, holding in her pain. Even though she's quietly crying inside. A teacher just walk passed the classroom Nari is in, without seeing her cause Nari was down on the ground. She slowly got up, with tears falling down her face. She could barely walk, nor balance herself. She looks terribly in pain, suffering from bullying for years now. 

  As school was done for the day, She quickly walked into the bathroom making sure her scar on her cheek bone is covered with bandage and her lip stops bleeding. She walked out to the street alone, but as she did that. Gayeon came and blocked her way saying,"Ya.. give me some coins to buy drinks for my friends." Nari nervously responded,"Why can't..you ask your mom?" Gayeon pushed her shoulder saying,"Give me the coins. Before you get it." Nari backed away saying,"i don't have coins." Gayeon said to her friends saying,"Guys, pour the things out of her bag!" Her friends started to surround Nari, trying to get her backpack. Nari refused and use all of her energy to push all of them to the ground. Nari backed away and run into the bus. Gayeon tighten her fist as she saw Nari getting into the bus. Gayeon said to her,"There's always tmrw, stupid." 

  Nari got out of the bus and walked down the street by a local park. Her mom then called. She answered and her mom goes,"Nari-ah, are you home yet?" She responded,"almost." Her mom then said to her,"ah..okay. I will be coming home late. If you're hungry, just make ramen noodle. sorry..." Nari goes,"okay and it's okay. i can eat whatever." They both then hung up. Suddenly a male voice shouted,"WATCH OUT!" Nari paused and as she was about to turn her face to see who shouted. A basket ball then hits the side of her head. She fell and scraped her elbow. A boy rushed to her and goes,"sorry... Are you okay?" Nari looked up at him and both of them suddenly made eye contact. That boy was actually D.O.

  Nari looked away and slowly got up without responding. D.O looked at her knee and goes,"oh, your elbow.. it's bleeding." Nari looked at it and quickly covered it with her other hand. He looked at her face again and asked,"sorry.. But what happen to your lip too?" Nari turned and walked away avoiding his questions. D.O watch her go and said in his head,"that's odd..." His friends called him back to play and he did. 

  Nari stops by the side of the street and look at her knee. She blow on it and look around to see if there's connivence store around. She then saw one mini shop across the street. As she slowly crossed the street, She then accidentally bumped into a guy. That guy was Sungjae. He looked at her and goes,"aish! Watch where you're going." Nari nervously responded,"sorry..." He then walks away holding onto his backpack. Nari crossed the street and took a deep breath saying,"i almost cause another trouble..." 

  Sungjae got home and entered his bedroom. His room was huge, messy & full of games. A maid then came in saying,"Sungjae, your dad wants you to see him in his office." Sungjae sigh & responded,"Why? I don't have time to talk about nonsense things." The maid goes,"but you must." Sungjae his game and responded,"No, i'm not gonna go. Please leave." Suddenly his dad entered his room saying,"You're really gonna go this far?" Sungjae paused his game and goes,"About what? Why do you care so much? No one knows that i'm your son, so don't worry." His dad goes,"but still, your job is to study and learn at school! Not fight and cause trouble." Sungjae got up and asked, "Since when did you care so much about my learning? Even since you divorced mom, I was nothing anymore." His dad then goes,"Stop putting your mom in this!" Sungjae goes,"why? Mom is my mom. Why can't i put her in this?" Sungjae got angry and walked out of his room. His dad stood there and took a deep breath. Not knowing what to say to Sungjae.

  Nari walked on a mini bridge and Sungjae also walked onto the same bridge, coming from the opposite direction from her. Both of them look up and saw each other. Nari thought in her head,"it's that guy from earlier.." Sungjae just looked at her with a straight face. She then continues to walk path him without a word. Sungjae then stood in the middle of the bridge and stood on top of the edge of the bridge. Nari peeked by the side of the bridge and thought in her head,"What is he doing..?" 

  Sungjae started yelling out of no where saying,"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?! WHAT KIND OF SON DO YOU WANT?! WHAT?! STOP PUTTING MOM IN OUR CONVERSATION?! AIISH!" Nari said in her head,"What was that? But.. Isn't he scare that he'll fall from that? That part is so high and the water is so deep... Can he even swim?" 

  Suddenly his phone rung, as he was about to grab it out of his pocket. He suddenly started to wobble, losing his balance. Nari saw and think whether to go help or not. Suddenly as he was able to fall into the water, Nari ran to him and pull him back on the bridge platform. He then fell down on top of her. Nari fell onto her back, as Sungjae landed on her. Sungjae look up and both of them made eye contact.
