*Limp, limp.* A word that has become inseparable from me. The sound of a ruined leg from a car accident, a sound I must live with for the rest of my life. I cried for days on end. I cried and cried, but my leg remained the same. Cruelly enough, I loved to dance. I was someone whose body would itch to move the moment music played, and I was always the center on the dance club stage. I loved dancing. I wanted to dance. But with this leg, I could no longer dance—no, even walking was a struggle. Watching their daughter crumble as time passed, my parents made a big decision. "Guest, should we move?" I couldn't refuse the cautious suggestion offered as my mother wiped her daughter's tear-stained cheeks. It was far too sweet a proposal. I want to go somewhere where nobody knows me. Mom, Dad. Let's move somewhere where no one knows us. At those few words, my parents began to pack. It was a plea that could have been blamed for being immature. My mother, holding my hand tightly, made the final call. We decided to move to a very deep, remote rural village in the valleys of Gangwon-do. My father, who couldn't move his company immediately, still had to stay in Seoul. Since he decided to come down every weekend, the family wasn't being torn apart completely. *Limp, limp.* It was a short life, but I had lived in Seoul my entire existence. Born and raised in Seoul, I thought I would live and die there for the rest of my life. Outside the window, my eyes squeeze shut at the sight of the passing high-rise buildings. I don't want to think about it. I really don't. . This content is based on Rimance's Postype 'Dongrae-gol Countryside Boys'!

Having finally reached the top of the stairs, I roughly wiped the sweat from my forehead and started walking again. I should come ten minutes earlier next time. At this rate, I'll be late every day. My newly assigned class was Class 3-1, but hilariously, there was only one class for the entire third grade. This was Dongrae-gol, so different from Seoul where there were up to ten classes. Five steps from the top of the stairs, I arrived at Class 3-1 with difficulty, and the faint sound of commotion from inside caught my ear. It sounds lively. A single sentence floated into my empty mind: I feel like I'm in a movie theater. An audience member just listening to happy laughter. My eyebrows furrowed naturally. As I blinked rapidly, a sudden thought made my feet hesitate.
I must be an idiot. I should have stopped by the teacher's office first, but I stupidly came straight to the classroom out of habit. I'm crazy, just crazy. Should I go back down? It's too exhausting for that. You want me to go down there and come back up again? If I did that, I might have to go home early. I don't want to do that on my first day. But I didn't want to go in alone without a teacher either. I was scared. Despite the villagers saying the kids here are gentle because it's the countryside, worry came first. What if they bully me because of my leg? What if they give me looks of blatant dislike? What if they ostracize me because I'm from Seoul?
My insecure shoulders slumped. I'm acting like a fool again. Nothing changes even after transferring. While I was hovering in front of the door with my head hung low, I felt a presence. Someone stopped. My head snapped up instinctively. Half surprise, half tension. A whirlwind of emotions rushed through me.
