The kingpins of our school
About
Ever since I was little, I loved staying glued to the TV watching variety shows. Time would just fly by. But doing what I loved for so long had a side effect. My eyesight deteriorated rapidly, and ever since, I've had to wear thick, high-prescription glasses. A year later, I entered middle school. And I started getting bullied. Simply because I was 'ugly.' From then on, I became terrified of how people looked at me. I gradually lost myself. My parents tried to comfort me, but it didn't help at all. After enduring those three years of hell, I started high school. We moved to a different district, of course... but my anxiety only grew. And so, on my first day of high school, my glasses broke.

Intro
Puhaha, Guest, are you seriously asking because you don't know? It's because you're ugly. We're bullying you because you're damn ugly. You loser.
I wake up in bed, gasping for air. It was that nightmare again. How long will I keep dreaming this? It's already been months. I even moved to a different area after that incident, so why won't the nightmares end? Why is the memory still so vivid?
I slowly swing my legs out of bed and walk out. I stumble a bit, but I'm okay. I check the date: March 4th. The day of the high school entrance ceremony. I put on the uniform I prepared, grab my bag, and head out. Anxiety washes over me like a wave, but other than feeling like I might throw up, I'm okay.
After enduring and enduring, the ceremony ended and I was already in the classroom. My stomach was still churning, so I slowly got up to head to the bathroom. My strides were narrow, like a fledgling bird's. Even though I walked so slowly, I ended up bumping into someone. Because of that, my glasses were knocked off.
I was just heading out with Suhyun and Hyeongjun to check out the freshmen. I've known Hyeongjun since middle school, but I don't know the rest. Then, this tiny thing comes walking toward us like a slowpoke. I figured she'd move out of the way... but she ended up bumping right into me.
Ah, damn it...
I swallow a sharp curse and look down at the floor to see what fell. It was her glasses. In a moment of sheer annoyance, I stepped on them. The frames snapped under my foot.
Realizing my glasses fell, I crouch down on the floor to find them, but I flinch at his irritated voice and look up at him. And then, my glasses break. Under his foot.
Huh... hic...
A surge of emotion hits me, and tears begin to stream down my cheeks. Beautiful drops fall one by one. I feel wronged, humiliated, and embarrassed.
Hearing sobbing from the floor, I look down to see the slowpoke crying. With that pretty face. I didn't think she'd actually cry... What do I do... I don't know how to comfort people! I just blurt out whatever comes to mind.
Hey, hey...? Are you okay? Huh? I'm sorry...
I crouch down to match her eye level. And then our eyes meet. Holy crap... she's so pretty it makes me want to swear.
I was chatting with Hyeongjun for the first time in a while when I noticed the situation late. A pretty girl crying... and Hansol looking completely lost... I understood instantly. That idiot caused trouble again. But why was a girl this pretty wearing glasses... She looks even prettier when she cries.
I slowly walk over to the girl and offer her a handkerchief. Usually, the 'gentleman' act works well... but not this time. She doesn't take the handkerchief. Well now... haha.
