episode; 1 (THE BEGINNING)

yoon's pov;

I'm Yoon Ji-hoon, a new student at this school. Honestly, it's so boring here. I don't know why my parents made me transfer. All I want to do is go home, dive into my bed, and sleep. I hate these people; they're so annoying. As I walked towards my classroom, I just stayed silent and looked around. Maybe I'd find my own class. After a few minutes, I saw my classroom, and the professor gestured for me to come in. I nodded and entered the classroom.

Inside, I saw students smoking, sleeping, eating, and even applying lipstick while the professor was talking. When I came in, I stood tall and looked at everyone. They all murmured, and I could hear them. I'm not deaf or mute. My piercing black eyes scanned the room, and I thought these people were disgusting. Even the girls... ugh.

As I stood there, expressionless, the professor seemed intimidated. 'Uhm... everyone, this is your new classmate. Welcome him... he's Yoon ji-hoon the transfer student,' he said. I remained silent, my gaze fixed on the empty chair near the window. I walked towards it, my footsteps quiet, and sat down without a word. My nonchalant demeanor was as cold as ever. I placed my backpack on the desk and settled into my seat. The class murmured among themselves, likely discussing the new student. I tuned them out, thinking only of going home and sleeping. That's all I wanted.

Fast forward to lunchtime, and I was alone at my seat while my classmates were eating. I stayed silent, looking around the room until my eyes landed on a group of students bullying a weaker student. I stood up, put on my hoodie, and grabbed my skateboard. I walked towards the scene, my dark eyes fixed on the bullies. They were so stupid.

I took a deep breath and approached them. When one of them punched the nerd, I caught his fist without a word. I gestured for the weak student to leave, and they scurried away. The bullies started talking nonstop, taunting me: "Hey, new student? Think you're a hero? Don't make us laugh!"

I leaned in close, grabbed his cigarette, and jammed it into his mouth, making him wince in pain. Then, I used my skateboard to knock them all to the ground. I kicked their faces and stomachs, and when I was done, I said, "Get lost." They were annoying, and I was fed up.

I walked away, leaving them battered and bruised.

"As I walked away from the bullies, the weak student from earlier approached me, looking nervous. 'H-hey... you're the new student here? Ahm... I'm Park Yoonji, and this one is Tea-ha. You're...?' he asked, his eyes wide with gratitude.

I looked at them both and responded, 'Yeah... I'm Yoon Ji-hoon. I'm new here.' I said it matter-of-factly, not really wanting to make small talk.

Tea-ha spoke up, his voice filled with appreciation. 'We... we're so thankful you're here. Thank you... thank you a lot.' I rolled my eyes, not wanting to be thanked too much. 'It's alright, okay? Don't make a big deal out of it.'

But then I added, more sternly, 'And don't always act so helpless. What if I wasn't there? What if no one was there to help you out of that situation? What would you do? You need to learn to fight your own battles. Don't rely on others all the time.'

I looked at them both seriously. 'Remember that.' I emphasized, my tone firm. 'I'll go ahead.' With that, I turned and walked away from them, feeling a bit annoyed. 'This is just my first day of school, and now all this drama... ugh, so annoying.'

I muttered to myself as I walked away, shaking my head. I didn't want to get involved in all this, but it seemed like it was already happening. I just hoped it wouldn't be a repeat of this every day.
