"Minu ya, Minu!!! Wae are you running away?"   "Because you stink! Don't come here. Go away!"     "Taehun-ah! It's lunch time? What are you doing there alone? Let's eat. I brought lots of food."   "..."   "Yah, Taehun! Where are you running to?"   "Tch, why are they all running away? Nobody wanna eat with me?"   Seeing him all alone there, my heart sank. How could they treat him in such a jerky way? What's wrong with him? He was just trying to be friendly. He was just trying to be nice. He was just asking for some love. What was so wrong about it? Sure he's not the handsomest or cutest kid at school but that didn't mean he deserved to be treated with such cruelty.    In fact, I had always wanted to be his friend, ever since I saw him happily playing alone around the house while his mother scolded him endlessly, the day I came to Korea from the comfort of my family back in Australia, almost a year ago. Mum told me that she and Dad would come here when they've settled the business there and that I should live with my aunt first, here. But I doubt they're coming any time soon. They still haven't. I knew they're busy and didn't want me to be lonely there, and I knew they're faced with some financial problems and didn't want me to be involved there so they sent me here, all alone.   And the day I arrived at my aunt's house, an aunt I've never met my whole life, I saw this bright kid next door. Him. I was feeling lost, sad for being ditched here, angry at my parents for leaving me alone here with a family that didn't seem to welcome me that much, lonely for being alone, and it took all of my strength to not break down.   But the moment I saw his laughter, without noticing, a small smile crept onto my face, as I ogled him, feeling amused more than anything. I only noticed I could've done something wrong when he suddenly stopped running around and stared hard at me, before his frown turned into a weirdo face. And he went inside his house, leaving me all alone again, outside my aunt's house.   Ever since then, I had only dared to watch him from afar. Finding him at school was the easiest thing since he was always somewhere seen, putting himself out there, whether acting in school play, being the mascot during sports day, or even being the host or do some comedic acts whenever there's any event in school. I also noticed how friendly he was to other kids. Yet, the strange thing was, nobody seemed to want to be his friend. Nobody even bothered about him. Heck, as you could see, they couldn't even be nice to him. But why? Why were they so mean towards somebody who didn't do anything wrong to them? I could never understand. I became very curious and puzzled. And thus, I would spend most of my time at school just watching him and how other kids treat him. There were so many things I wanted to know. Yet, I could never bring myself to approach him. We were so close, in a sense. We even sat in the same classroom. Yet, it felt like we weren't even in the same world.    He talked to everyone but me. At first, I thought it was because I was the new kid and it's normal to ostracize new kids, here. But then Minwoo the rude jerk transferred here, about two months after I did. And as you had seen, spoken to him rudely. He welcomed Minwoo, he even approached him on the day he arrived here. But he never spoke to me, not even once. Even Taehun, the quietest kid in this school, probably said hi to me, once. Just a hi, but not even him, who was the
