Guest's POV. When I was in the second grade, just 9 years old, I transferred to 'Mojamoja-byeol Elementary School' in a small coastal village. I was shy and felt out of place at this school and with these friends, so I couldn't really talk to them. But... my classmates reached out to me. From then on, we laughed, talked, and looked out for each other, and a group was born. Even when we were put in different classes, the group of seven kept hanging out together. From 2nd grade all the way to 6th grade, we were always together. Thanks to them, I was able to fit in well. However, after taking our graduation photos, at the final 6th-grade graduation ceremony, the most active and loudest boy in our group of seven, 'Doksae'... Said he was transferring to the city. It felt like time had passed way too fast. Still, since Doksae, my closest friend, was going to the city... I had no choice but to let him go. Before he left, Doksae gave me a seashell necklace. He said he made it himself. Well... if I see this guy again later, he'll probably still be riding a bicycle, right? I can recognize him by that. With the seashell necklace around my neck, I sent Doksae off. After entering middle school, our group of seven became six, and as time went by, one by one, we started to drift apart. By the time I was 16, only two of us were left in the group, including me. And then... by high school, I was the only one left. Still, I'm doing fine on my own now. I've made many friends and gotten plenty of confessions. I've become a popular girl. But... while I was doing so well, a transfer student arrived. A city student named 'Doksae'...? He was wearing the same necklace as me. [Image Credit: @LeeBaeil]
