PART I: THREE
The Half of ItPART I: "Love is simply the name for the desire and pursuit of the whole" Plato, the symposium.
As she was climbing the hill to her house, Moonbyul heard the noise of a truck from behind, and she knew what would happen next. Inadvertenly, she began to pedal faster, as if trying to avoid the inevitable.
When the truck passed at her side, she heard the boys shout: 'chu chu!'. And she ignored as always, wondering if life did became better once you left highscool.
“Hey!” she also heard from behind. She ignored it, thinking it was aimed at someone else. “Hey!” she heard again.
Couldn't this people leave her alone even for just a second? Jeez.
“Hey! Hold up!” she heard again, but she didn't stop.

She opened it, curious but closed it right away. She didn't need to read more, as soon she saw the name of Kim Yongsun she knew she didn't want to be involved in whatever that was. She scoffed and gave it back to the guy, as if the paper could burn her.
“Can't help you.” she declared, ready to come back to her beautiful house.
