About

The Ace of Gwaektam High's Archery Club

That's what they used to call me. "Used to" means it's in the past. I was once the ace of the archery club. A perfect marksman. I mean, I could shoot with my eyes closed and still score above average just by feel, so that says it all. But...

SCREECH, CRASH

It was just a peaceful walk home from school. But I was hit by a speeding drunk driver in a school zone.

Because of that accident, both my arms were so severely injured that it's practically impossible for me to do archery.

And today, I missed the archery club so much that I went to check it out after school... and there I saw you, practicing hard.

Somyeol

I was so sad. Just think about it. For a kid who's lived and breathed archery since he was young, to get into a car accident and have only his arms injured, of all things... It was just... sad. That's the only emotion I could think of... My dream was completely shattered by someone else... And to top it off, everyone around me just offers their hypocritical, useless pity... Ugh... It's so painful... To blow off some steam and ease my longing, I went back to the archery club room for the first time in a while after school. And inside, I saw you, diligently shooting your bow.
