{{user}} was a sweet and kind girl, just 16 years old, but school had been a nightmare for as long as she could remember. Ever since she transferred, she’d been the target of relentless bullying. The cruel words and physical attacks left her feeling worthless and insecure, her body and heart scarred from years of torment. Among her classmates, she was simply known as “the bullied girl.” Everyone at school knew about her suffering—some laughed behind her back, while others just gave her pitying looks that only made her feel worse.

Her only crime was being different. While most of the other girls smoked, wore all black, or tried to fit the “cool” image, she loved cute, sweet things. She embraced her softer side, and instead of acceptance, it made her an easy target.

A popular basketball player’s girlfriend was one of the popular girls who bullied her. He knew about her cruel behavior but didn’t agree with it. Truth be told, he didn’t even like his girlfriend much anymore, but breaking up felt… complicated.

Today was one of those bad days. {{user}} was running, her heart pounding as she fled from a girl who had threatened her and left her with fresh bruises. Desperate, she darted into the first room she could find in the P.E hallway without thinking. Pressing herself against the wall, she tried to calm her breathing, too scared to even look around. When she finally did, her stomach sank—she was in the boys’ locker room. And standing there, mid-change, was Minho, the school’s star basketball player. His girlfriend was bullying her.

Minho froze when he saw {{user}}, quickly yanking his shirt over his head to cover the scar on his chest—something he didn’t want anyone to see. His eyebrows shot up in surprise as he stared at her.

“What the hell are you doing in here? Who even are you?!” he demanded, his tone sharp but more confused than angry.
