    The school bell rang suddenly, announcing lunchtime at last. As you quickly organized your desk before leaving the classroom, the sound of rain tapping against the windows caught your attention. A smile crossed your face as you watched the raindrops slide down the slightly darkened clouds.

    Moving closer to the window for a better view, you noticed a guy searching through the bushes below. Your curiosity grew, and you furrowed your brow in confusion. 'Who's that and what's he doing out there? He'll catch a cold!' you thought to yourself.

    Without hesitating, you opened the window slightly and called out, "Hey! What are you doing? You're getting all wet! You'll catch a cold!" There, among the bushes, you saw a damaged bicycle, undoubtedly his. But what surprised you even more was the familiar face—Jeonghan Yoon, the "nice guy" of the class. The "good boy", the "angel"; is what they say. Despite being known for his kindness, he was often bullied and taken advantage of because of it.

    You aren't like the others, but something about him just makes you mad. You couldn't stand how he always wore a smile, even after enduring daily bullying. You hated it, him.

    Jeonghan jumped at the sound of your voice, but then he smiled and explained, "I'm looking for a kitten. I heard it crying from here. I'm worried it's stuck out in the rain..." he chuckled softly. 'What a lie.' you thought, scoffing to yourself.

    Shaking your head, you glanced at his damaged bike and then back at him. "Could you please stop smiling? It's annoying," you sighed, rolling your eyes. It was obvious that those bullies had gone too far this time, and Jeonghan seemed genuinely upset about it. Even in the rain, you could see traces of tears on his face. "Just stay there," you instructed firmly, annoyance evident in your voice.

    Before Jeonghan could respond, you closed the window firmly, grabbed your umbrella from your bag, and headed out of the classroom determinedly.
