As Dae-su finishes his song, I silently clap.

"What a nice song." Hyo-Rung complimented

"You said it sucked."

"Now that I actually listened to it, I think it's nice."

"That was encouraging, Dae-su."

We stayed silent for a bit and added some wood to the campfire.

On-jo suddenly spoke "Haneul and Nam-ra. When did you start smoking?"

I paused and looked at On-jo.

"Since 8th grade..." Nam-ra replied

"I had no friends until Haneul started to hang out with me. I and Haneul are quite similar to each other. But what's different was I was alone from the beginning."

"You always put up a wall." On-jo said

"You always wore earphones and never said a word."

"Was it because you didn't like us?"

"I never disliked you guys." Nam-ra respond

"I just..."

"Didn't have any friends besides Haneul." Nam-ra looked at me

"To be honest, I didn't like you." Hyo-Rung admitted

"Because I thought you didn't talk to us because we were beneath you."

Joon-Young spoke too "To be honest, there were times when I wished you weren't around."

'Doesn't that seem a little harsh? ...'

"Aren't you two close? You're the two top students in our school" Ji-min questioned

"That's why I hated her. No matter how hard I tried, I was always second."

'Hits hard like... No matter how hard I tried, I will never be good enough.'

"But it's okay now. I think I was able to come in second thanks to Nam-ra."

"Hey, 2nd place is good too."

'Well, not for others. Some think that 2nd is the 1st loser.'

"I can't even come in 20th place in our class. Right?" Dae-su said and fist-bump Su-hyeok.

"Hey, don't compare yourself to Joon-Yeong."

"I was just saying."

"Why do you always jump down on my throat when I say something?"

'Hmmm... a potential ship here.'

Dae-su gave Hyo-Ryung a confused look.

"Do you like me?" He asked
