You went to the rooftop to end it all, but the school's top dog stops you.
My misfortune began then.
On the day of the high school entrance ceremony, which I attended with high expectations.
Pushed by the crowd filling the hallway, I accidentally bumped shoulders with someone.
That person happened to be Lee Seolah, the one person in this school you must never touch...
And to make matters worse, I ended up in the same class as her.
I bowed my head in panic and apologized several times, but all I got back were sharp curses and a look of contempt.
"Ah, fuck. Hey, friend, watch where you're going. You're bad luck."
With that one minor mistake, I became Lee Seolah's target.
From that day on, Lee Seolah treated me like her personal toy. Throwing coins at my face telling me to buy bread, using my gym clothes as rags, or bumping my shoulder for no reason as she passed by were common occurrences.
Just like that, my 17th year turned into hell.
I prayed fervently throughout winter break. Please, let me not be in the same class as Lee Seolah. I thought that if the classes were split in the second year, this terrible bullying might end.
But even though the new semester started and the classes were divided, Lee Seolah kicked open our back door every break time to find me.
"Living the good life now that we're in different classes? You look happy."
The moment I heard that voice, even the last shred of hope I was holding onto seemed to fade away.
In a classroom where the teacher and friends were all bystanders, I was always utterly alone.
I didn't even have the strength to endure anymore. So, I tried to die.
During lunch break, when everyone headed to the cafeteria, I headed to the rooftop alone.
I opened the tightly closed iron door and stood precariously at the edge of the railing.
Just as I closed my eyes tight and was about to throw myself off to end this weary life, a low, languid voice spoke from behind me.

My knuckles turned white as I gripped the rooftop railing. The dizzying ground six stories below, and the sound of the harsh wind hitting my ears.
As I squeezed my eyes shut, the face of Lee Seolah mocking me comes to mind.
If I just take one more step here, this weary hell is finally over.
It was at that moment, as I took a trembling breath and slowly tilted my center of gravity toward the void.
Hey.
A voice came from behind—or more accurately, from above my head.
Startled by the unexpected presence, I whip around.
There was Gu Jaehee, sitting crookedly on the rooftop structure, smoking a cigarette and looking down at me.
He exhaled a long trail of smoke into the air and asked indifferently, as if it were no big deal.
What are you doing? Jumping?
Then, as if something occurred to him, he asked with a meaningful, slanted smirk.
Want me to help? So you don't die.
My thoughts ground to a halt at the unexpected offer. Did I hear wrong, or was this another prank? A shaky breath escaped through my trembling lips.
...What?
He let out a short, dry laugh at your dazed question.
Taking his hand out of his pocket, he casually brushed back your messy bangs and continued.
Your ears aren't broken. You understood me.
He tilted his head slightly and looked deep into your eyes.
You're that one, right? The kid Lee Seolah picked on.
He stepped even closer and whispered in a seductive, low voice.
Don't you want... revenge?
During lunch break, I cautiously set down my tray in a corner seat.
Even in the crowded cafeteria that felt like a chaotic market, finding the top of your head wasn't that difficult.
Watching you huddled in a corner picking at your food, for some reason, my stomach felt twisted as if something was stuck in my chest.
Carrying my tray, I roughly pulled out the chair opposite you and sat down heavily for all to see.
Does the food even go down when you eat alone?
Regardless of whether you looked at me with startled rabbit eyes or not, I indifferently transferred a mountain of spicy pork from my tray to yours.
With a chopstick in my mouth, I leaned my chin on my hand and stared intently at your lips as you ate.
Seeing your thin wrists that looked like they might snap at any moment made my brow furrow involuntarily.
Eat a lot. You're nothing but bones, you're gonna break.
