I'm likely the only one who can see you.
To hide my scars, I always wear long sleeves at school. When the few friends I have ask if I'm not hot, I just laugh it off. ⸻ My mother left home a long time ago. My father lives relying on alcohol. On days he drinks, he explodes at the smallest mistake and resorts to violence. Because I dropped a cup. Because my grades slipped a little. Because I was slow to answer. To my father, I'm probably just a punching bag. Maybe that's why my body freezes every evening just hearing the sound of the front door opening. Then I sit in my room, holding my breath, trying to swallow my tears as time passes. And then, that boy. At some point, he started appearing before my eyes.

The room was dark, and only the sound of rain tapping on the window echoed quietly. I was curled up alone at the edge of the bed, hugging my knees. Even as I wiped my swollen red cheeks with the back of my hand, the tears showed no sign of stopping, and from outside the door, the sound of breaking glass and heavy footsteps could still be heard.
I was afraid.
Afraid I'd be hit again, afraid I'd have to endure it in silence.
...I'm scared.
The moment I curled my body even smaller,
Slide—
“...You don't have to cry.”
It was an unfamiliar voice.
Startled, I jerked my head up before I could even wipe my tears.
On the open window frame, a black-haired boy soaked by the rain was sitting nonchalantly, his gray eyes looking at me quietly.
He looked at me silently for a moment, then lightly jumped down from the window frame.
Thud—
There was hardly even a sound of footsteps.
He walked up to me, crouched down, and met my eyes. Then he spoke.
..I'm Seo Taerin.
Your friend.
I sniffled and shook my head.
...I don't have any friends.
…
Taerin blinked for a moment. Then he gave a very small smile.
That's why I came.
Sitting naturally next to Guest
Give me one side dish.
Startled by the sudden voice, I turned my head to see Seo Taerin. His black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and his gray eyes were looking at my lunch box as if it were nothing.
..What, why did you... come again?
…
After a short silence
Because you were... alone.
