Chapter 1

I'm standing on the rail as I hold the pole beside me. The rain pouring hardly as the ocean waved fiercely. I look down at the ocean and up to the sky as I close my eyes feeling the rain drops landing on my face.

Just one step before all my problems will disappear and I'll finally rest in peace. I'm a victim of bullying. The reason, because I'm fat and ugly. At first I didn't mind the bullying, but as time passes by, the bullying gotten worsen. Violence was included and no one was by my side when the bullying was happening.

I was all alone. I couldn't take it anymore and just want a peaceful life. I just wanted someone who would stand up for me, but there was no one. All of them were afraid to even help me.

I look down at the ocean and close my eyes as I took a deep breath and jumped. The fall was pretty long, until I landed in to the ocean, making a big splash. I couldn't move, my whole body became paralyzed. It felt like, I didn't know how to move anymore. I could see the moon shining brightly across the ocean as I drowned deeply into it and it was a beautiful sight to see. I close my eyes as I let go of my last breath.

But just then, I heard a sudden splash like someone had went in to the ocean. I open my eyes and saw someone, a boy, swimming towards me as he reaches my hand.

'No… please don't save me. I beg of you, I don't want to live anymore. Please let me be and leave. I beg you…'

He reaches for my hand and grabs it as he swims and pulls me up to the shore. I close my eyes and blacked out.

I coughed and coughed and slowly opened my eyes. I look around and noticed I was on shore. As I turned to my right, I saw a man wearing a black hoodie. He turned around and I could see the side of his nose. The wind blew his hoodie, and I could see half of his face, but it was a little blurry. He was wearing a black colored nerdy glasses. He looks away and walked away leaving me alone in the rain, lying on the ground panting heavily.

--Jeon Yumi's Bedroom--

The clock ticks, waking me up.

"A-a dream?" I said and shut the clock up. I sit up on the bed and look around.

'I'm in my bedroom, so it really was just a dream.'

A dream, that took place 4 years ago. Yes, I tried to commit suicide when I was still in Grade School. Ever since that day I've always been curious about that guy who saved me.

That day, when I came back home my mom cried and cried thanking I was safe. I'm still the same as always. I never did change after my Suicide attempt. I didn't want to change who I am. I got out of bed and took a shower, after, I put on my school uniform and comb my hair. I get my bag and head downstairs to eat my breakfast.

"Good morning sweetie!" Mom greeted.

"Good morning!"

My mom here is a single mother. My dad left her when I was still in her stomach. I didn't get to see how my dad look like, but if I do get a chance to see him, I don't know what I would even do.

"Here's your big serve of rice!" Mom said as she placed a bowl of rice in front of me.

"Wah~! Thanks mom! These look delicious!"

"Eat up! You'll be late for school dear."

"Thank you for the food!" I said and dig in.

Suddenly my younger brother Jeon Jungwoo came down to the living room.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

I'm not an only child, and Jungwoo and I aren't related but to me Jungwoo is an important younger brother. Mom adopted him when I was Graduating from Grade School. She found him on the streets, in the state of death. Jungwoos parents dumped him at the age of 6 and he continued to survive by himself until the age of 14. That's when my mom found him on the streets, unconscious. At first she thought he was dead, when he suddenly spoke to her. And so mom decided to keep him and raise him as her own child.

"Good morning Jungwoo!" I greeted.

"Ah! Noona, Good Morning!" Noona is what he calls me, its how younger man calls a woman who is older than them. It means Older sister in Korean.

"You seem excited, what happened?" I asked.

"There will be an audition for a play at our school. And I've always wanted to have the Main role! I've practiced a lot for this audition, and I hope I'll get the role I want."

"If it's you, I know you can do it!"

"You think so noona?"

"I know so!" He smiled showing his cute bunny teeth. Mom gave Jungwoo a bowl of rice as he thanked her.

After breakfast me and Jungwoo went to the garage to ride on our bicycle to head to school. We don't go to the same school, Jungwoo is still in Junior High and this year he'll be graduating!

I lock my bicycle on the bike rack at our school.

"Good morning Yumi!" I smiled knowing who it was.

"Good morning Seoyong!" Seoyong here is my close friend since 7th grade.

Ever since I transferred school, Seoyong was the first person to great me and the first friend I ever had. She's a very nice, honest, beautiful, talented person and I love her so sooo much!

Our first meeting wasn't at school in 7th grade, but on the day I attempted to commit suicide. She saw me laying down on the cold shore and she and her family helped me until I calmed down.

She's also the most popular student here in this school. I mean I understand why, cause she's super beautiful and kind! If I were a boy, I would definitely fall in love with her.

"Let's go!" She said as she finished locking her bike on the bike stand. We intertwined our arms together as we walk inside the school building.
