Since the incident, you know... I changed from the smiling girl to a characterless and friendless girl, I was a very lonely person.. I couldn't look people in the eye, this incident was tragic. For me, I couldn't move on.
It was in middle school
Now I'm 16, I've grown up a bit but I'm still friendless and miserable. I would say to myself ha-rin "Grow up! It's been four years since his death, keep doing yours!" I wish those words were strong enough to help me change. What's more, the only thing that makes me feel better is science, this world interests me so much.
On the first day of school, I tried to be a little different and open up more, it worked! Then I sat down in my place, everyone in the hallway looked at me like I had fallen from the sky. I sat down to the side because I needed my peace, a girl named Seo-yeon sat down next to me, she was very popular and the complete opposite of me, she turned to me: "Hi, I'm Seo-yeon, nice to meet you," she smiled at me with her sweet smile, "Hi, I'm Ha-rin," I told her and smiled back.
Slowly over time we became close and became best friends! We connected so quickly because we both love science and we are passionate about it. I learned from her that not every person who is popular is necessarily mean.
After 1 year and 2 months
This is just another normal day that I go to school, I take a train to school faster than a bus, the train is more crowded than ever. I got on the train and we were all packed together like sardines in a can. I describe it that way because it also smelled. And suddenly I feel someone touch my skirt, I look back a little and see a man around 50-60 years old and I panic and freeze, unable to move. Suddenly someone grabbed his hand tightly and punched him in the face. It was a student who was with me at school. I had never seen him before. I only remember his hard gray eyes and the strong hand that threw his arm muscles to Mars. That student said: "Shame on you!, pervert. You disgusting! She could be your daughter!" At that moment I stood behind him, I was a little scared by his height, it felt like standing in front of a very large rock, The security guards took the pervert, he turned to me and said: "You're okay... Sorry you have to go through this." While he said this, he put his hand on the back of his head and looked to the side with a shy look of sorrow. I told him: "It's okay! It's all thanks to you!" I smiled at him, at that very moment I had to get off, I told him thank you, and he was about to ask my name but I already left
When I got to school, Seo-yeon was waiting for me at the usual spot, the bench by the water fountains. I told her about what happened in the morning. She tells me that she's interested in who this boy is. She and I are walking down the hallway. Suddenly, I see him and we have a very long eye contact until Seo-yeon turned to me and asked if I was listening to her.
We arrived at the classroom, of course they separated us in the classroom. We never stopped talking in class. The class started and the teacher came in. "There's a new student in the class." Everyone was amazed. Seo-Yeon said, "What's up with a new student?" and the teacher introduced him: "Meet Lee Joon-ho (이준호) He came from America and returned to Korea. Everyone was excited and I was shocked, he was standing in front of everyone. He noticed me and didn't take his eyes off me. "Sit next to Ha-rin," the teacher said. He sat down and said, "Now I know your name."
