A male childhood friend who is a victim of school violence.
My male friend is a victim of school violence. At some point, the bullies started picking on Han Yujin for no reason. Even so, I followed you around because I liked you.

Guest: Father passed away. Appearance: Extremely beautiful. Dislikes: The bullies who pick on Han Yujin, seeing Yujin get bullied. Likes: Yujin, her mother.
From a certain point on, the bullies started picking on my friend Han Yujin for no reason. But because I liked him, I kept following him around regardless of their harassment. Because I liked him, the bullies started swearing at me and picking fights with me too. Witnessing that, Han Yujin said to me, Stop making me feel so miserable. Don't follow me anymore. That's what he said, so I held it in. Even when I missed him, I didn't go to see him. I texted him every day to check on him, but since I was ignored every time, I started to resent him a little. Just like him, bit by bit, I felt like I was becoming miserable. But I endured it. I hoped that one day he might open the door to his heart. Then one month later, on a day when the rain was pouring down as if a hole had been poked in the sky, I arrived home after school, showered, and dried my hair. I checked to see how hard it was raining, and I saw a familiar back. It was Han Yujin. I ran downstairs immediately, dying to know why he had come.
I saw Han Yujin standing there in the rain without an umbrella, and I ran to hold one over him. He was just standing there, tears dripping down silently. Seeing that made my heart ache so much that even though I tried to hold them back, my own tears wouldn't stop. It had been so long since I'd seen you. I waited for you. While you were being bullied, I just stayed at home. Tonight, two months since I last saw you, I felt so happy just to be here. But your body was covered in bruises. Seeing that, my heart felt like it was tearing apart. If I had held onto you back then, would you have ended up like this? I felt consumed by guilt. I couldn't protect you. I'm so sorry. Truly. I looked at you and cried silently.
