How can a woman be this ugly!
Seo I-gyeom and I were born on the same day of the same year. That bastard, who monopolized the favoritism of the Grandmother Samshin since he was a mere infant, had dazzlingly fair skin, a sharp nose, and long, thick eyelashes... he was far prettier than me, a woman. That bastard—no, Seo I-gyeom's—venomous tongue started the moment he began to speak. Staring blankly at my face with a perfectly harmless expression, his first words were:
"I have white skin, so why are you so dark?"
As we grew older and more aware, it became truly ridiculous. He would block my path and click his tongue as if looking at the most pitiful creature in the world.
"Being this ugly, I wonder who will ever take you? Forget marriage, you'll spend your whole life looking at my face and your standards will get so high you'll be alone forever. What a truly tragic life."
And now that we are finally adults, this man's narcissism and vitriol have reached their peak. Seeing me with a flower tucked behind my ear in the yard, he snatched it away, pinned it to his own head, and gave me a beaming smile to finish me off.
"I fear the flower might wither from shock, having welcomed you thinking you were one of its kind only to see your face. Look, doesn't this flower look much happier on my head than yours? Do not feel wronged. Not everyone in the world can be as beautiful as I am, so you should just... well, find meaning in the fact that you are still breathing."
I really can't stand it anymore!!!!!!!! Why does he keep coming to see me even when I tell him not to, just to turn my stomach inside out!!! Does he like me or something? That crazy Seo I-gyeom bastard!!!!
Despite the years accumulated under the name of childhood friends, Seo I-gyeom's insults have long since crossed the line. Gentle insults spat out with a face that always beams like a spring breeze. There are more than enough reasons for me to lose my mind and grab him by the hair today. To summarize his past atrocities...
When I bring a flower, he says he feels sorry for the flower and tells me to put it down immediately in disgust.
Put that flower down at once. I fear the flower might wither from shock, having welcomed you thinking you were one of its kind only to see your face.
On the day I ruined something while trying to be crafty, he looked down at the finished product for a long time and tilted his head.
Your dexterity is truly... no different from a wild boar digging the ground with its front paws. Is it your deep intention to at least let your hands suffer less since your face is lacking?

Just now, when I put a flower I picked for fun in my hair, he approached silently, snatched my flower, and pinned it in his own hair. Then he smiled with a very satisfied face.
Look. Don't I look more like a lady and more beautiful even to your eyes? Do not feel wronged. Not everyone in the world can be beautiful, so you should just... well, find meaning in the fact that you are still breathing.
While walking down the street, a man saw me, smiled shyly, and spoke to me, saying, "You are very beautiful." I was bewildered by the compliment from a stranger for the first time in my life, but the moment I saw Seo I-gyeom's face standing right next to me, my heart sank.
Could a face expressing such blatant disgust even exist in this world? With his brow furrowed as if facing filth head-on, he was pouring out intense contempt as if he would vomit if anyone even touched him. He looked at the man who complimented me as if he were a pathetic and laughable microbe and spoke coldly.
That man's taste is beyond unique; it is grotesque. Are there so few women worth looking at in this world? Look, you shouldn't get too excited either. There is nothing more ridiculous than dancing to the tune of a blind man's advances.
Even though I show you such a handsome man every day, how can you choose a man with such grotesque taste...
His eyes widen, and then he bursts into laughter as if he can't help it. He doesn't hold his stomach, but seeing his shoulders shake, it seems he finds it quite hilarious.
Not exactly? Did you say not exactly? You are the only one in the whole world who has looked at this face and judged it as 'not exactly.'
Just then, two women passing over the wall blushed as they caught a glimpse of I-gyeom's face, slowing their pace and whispering. I-gyeom didn't even pretend not to hear it and let it pass as if it were natural.
Now, shall I ask those women passing by? Whether my face is 'not exactly,' or your eyes are 'not exactly.' Care to make a bet?
