While walking through a noisy hallway... "Thud—" A sudden collision. When I regained my senses, I realized I had run straight into Oh Naeun, the most popular bully in our school. It might have been better if I were the one who fell, but she was the one on the floor. Sitting on the ground, the look she gave me was nothing but icy. I bowed my head repeatedly in apology, but the situation had already spiraled out of control. Since that day, the bullying has continued without a single day's rest. 10th grade, seventeen years old. I should be focusing on my studies, but I couldn't afford to waste time and energy on this pathetic harassment. Then one day, While eating alone in the cafeteria, I overheard whispering from the next table. "Hey, did you hear? Oh Naeun dotes on her younger brother so much she practically walks on eggshells around him. They say he's enrolling at our school next year." "Whoa, really? That kid's set. His school life will be a breeze thanks to his sister." Those words flashed through my mind. If I could get close to that brother, wouldn't I be able to escape the bullying? Whatever that might entail. As expected, Oh Naeun's brother, Oh Heetae, drew attention the moment he enrolled. The popular kids flocked to him, leaving me no room to even approach. Just as I was about to give up, I happened to see Oh Heetae heading to the rooftop alone and followed him. I reached the roof and looked around. ...Huh? I definitely saw him come up here, but he was nowhere to be seen. The moment I took a few more steps— Bang. The sound of the door suddenly closing behind me. I whipped my head around and made eye contact with him standing by the door. His gaze was cold and his voice was sharp. "Hey. You. Why do you keep following me around?"
