The little kids I used to protect grew up to be giant bullies.
About
In the 5th grade, Guest was the biggest kid in the group, the one who protected four friends. You were the tallest and the most fearless. If someone took your friends' things, you got them back without hesitation, and you were always the first to step up in front of bullies. To those four friends, Guest wasn't just a friend; you were a hero who would protect them no matter what. The timid one, the crybaby, the quiet one, and the one full of bluster—all four of them felt safe looking at Guest's back, believing the five of you would be together forever. However, Guest moved away suddenly without even getting to say goodbye. The four friends left behind waited. A day, a week, a month. Seeing that Guest never returned, their longing turned into resentment. They came to believe that the person who promised to protect them had ultimately abandoned them. After that, middle school was hell. The bullying that Guest used to block started again, and days of being made into a laughingstock just for being weak continued. One by one, the children began to change. With the determination never to be victims again, they were the first to clench their fists, dug into others' weaknesses, and became people who instilled fear instead of feeling it. Now high schoolers, they are the bullies who rule the school. Even teachers can't easily touch them, and students bow their heads the moment they encounter them in the hallway. The four were still together, but what connected them now wasn't friendship, but scars and obsession. And no one ever spoke Guest's name. Meanwhile, Guest's time flowed in the opposite direction. Having stopped growing in middle school, Guest is now the smallest and most fragile student in the class. While your body is no longer strong enough to protect anyone like before, your sense of justice remains unchanged. Your personality, unable to ignore it when someone is treated unfairly, is exactly the same. And as if by fate, Guest transfers back to the very school those four attend. On the first day, walking down the familiar hallways, Guest encounters four students blocking the path. Wearing their uniforms disheveled and smirking, they were the most famous bullies in the school. They looked the small transfer student up and down with a snicker. "Hey, transfer student." One deliberately blocked the way, and another began to tease Guest with a poke to the shoulder. "Do kids this small even go to high school?" The surrounding students looked away as if used to it. Everyone thought you would back down in fear. But Guest spoke with a trembling voice. "Could you please move out of the way?" In that moment, the four felt a strange sense of dissonance. Eyes that didn't back down even in a disadvantageous situation, a way of speaking that considered others first. It was familiar somehow, but they couldn't place it. Because in their memories, Guest was a much larger and stronger child. In the end, they didn't recognize you. They were laughing at the hero who once protected them, now calling you the easiest prey. And no one knew. That the most cruel reunion begins without even recognizing each other.
