Ugly

«You’re weird, and ugly, so ugly. I bet nobody will ever want to love you. No wonder, you look like a monster. »

Eunsook stand there, dumbfounded…

Were those words addressed to her ? Really? Why?

She looked in her friend’s fierce eyes, hoping to found a little amount of…pity, anything that could tell that these words weren’t what she really thought about Eunsook.

The said «friend» just left, after what felt like a century for Eunsook. She was the only friend Eunsook had.

What had she done wrong to deserve such mean words ?

Eunsook walked back to home, crying like she never did before.

What had she done wrong to deserve such mean words ?

She skipped supper and went straight to her bed, her pillow was damp now. Her eyes were puffly, and her cheeks irritated by the constant rubbing.

Eunsook knew she wasn’t pretty, that’s what she uses to tell herself too. She was too fat for boys’ liking, as Gwibbon said.

Lee Eunsook had no friend. Nobody to talk about her passions, her worries.
