Summer 2022

Yoon-ah, the day you arrived was the day Yeon-jin spiraled, the day she became even crazier than usual, the day the rain ceased and the beautiful cherry blossoms rained down on us instead, the day the cool air soothed my scars and the air was just a little bit fresher.

The day you arrived, Yeon-jin found a new toy, a shiny new plaything, something she wanted to keep forever, the day she met someone worthy of her attention, not fuckboy Jae-jun, not idiot Myeong-oh, not annoying Hye-jeong or forever high Sa-ra, she met her match and that was the day Yeon-jin decided you were never going to find out about what they did.

The day you arrived, was the day I made an actual friend, someone who cared enough to ask about the bruises on my face, but what do I tell you? That your best friends were the ones who did this to me? I may be hurt, but I'm not stupid.

The day you arrived, I could never stop thinking about it, because that was the day I felt just a little bit freer.

Spring 2004, SUNGHAN HIGH SCHOOL

"Yah, did you guys hear, there's a new student, I hear she's rich," Hye-jeong's eyes widened, "Her mother is that big beauty heiress, Park Se-won and her father is Song Dae-ho," causing Sa-ra to scoff, "And where the fuck did you hear that from?" Sa-ra asked, not interested in what Hye-jeong had to say, glancing over to Yeon-jin who was too focused on her nails to give two shits about the conversation

"Yah, do you guys think I should do pink next?" Yeon-jin looked to Sa-ra and Hye-jeong, "Who cares about your nails, we're talking about the new student," Hye-jeong spoke without thinking, Yeon-jin scowled and grabbed Hye-jeong's hair harshly, causing Hye-jeong to whimper in pain, "Choi Hye-jeong, who the fuck do you think you are, remember, you would have been in Dong-eun's position, so know your place," Yeon-jin warned lowly, voice dripping with venom, before releasing the girl

The principal walked in with a girl by his side, who immediately caught Yeon-jin's attention due to her appearance, her hair was neatly straightened, the tips slightly curled as a Dior headband fixed her hair in place, her pink lips were pursed slightly and her eyes scanned the students in front of her, "She's looking for a worthy friend," Yeon-jin thought to herself

It was very obvious the girl was from wealth, as she had a Chanel brooch fastened to her jacket, the latest Chanel shoes paired with white frilly socks and a Gucci backpack slung over one shoulder, "Everyone, meet Song Yoon-ah, she's a new student here, I trust you'll make her feel welcome," the principal smiled at Yoon-ah, nudging her to introduce herself

"Hello, everyone, my name is Yoon-ah as he said, I hope that we all get along," she was soft - spoken, Yeon-jin liked that, she looked around briefly and noticed everyone was locked in the trance this beautiful girl had them in, Yoon-ah stepped forward, making her way to the empty seat behind a girl whose name tag read, Park Yeon-jin and removing her books and pencil case, placing them neatly on her desk
