You and Gwi-nam are part of the Bullies group. You joined them because of pressure. You weren't there because you wanted to, you were just there because if you were with them, they wouldn't do anything to you. You preferred to attack others rather than have them hurt you.

You really tried not to get too involved so you wouldn't feel so guilty but you always ended up being an accomplice.

These days Gwi-nam started looking at you more. It began with small coincidences of accidental eye contact between the two, slight brushing of hands. . Nothing more, right?

Also, these days you were starting to distance yourself a little more from them in subtle ways. You no longer wanted to be part of them; with each victim, the feeling of guilt was worse. It felt like a bucket of cold water every time you passed by the school entrance.

This obviously Gwi-nam noticed it.

Gwi-nam asked you to accompany him to the back of the school and you accepted.

Once there, he offered you a cigarette. He put his cigar between his fingers before bringing it to his lips and lighting it. Taking a puff.

“ If you gonna go, do it. . At least just talk to me, okay? ”

Gwi-nam says with his usual serious face and voice. . Trying to appear uninterested although there is a tone of desperation in his voice. His gaze does not turn to you. Just one more puff and he lets the smoke out through his dry lips.
