Meanwhile, Shuhua sat on a bench just looking at all some students chatting and gossiping, some fooling around, some studying and some just chilling. Shuhua recalled everything she told Tzuyu and felt shame consume her entire body.

"How could I say something like that? She did nothing wrong and just screamed at her."

She thought to herself.

Could this be it? Will she lose a friend the way she lost her sister?

Walking around Eunwoo found a girl sitting by herself looking very sad.

He felt a strange aura consuming the lonely girl so he decided to approach her.

He sat down next to her and looked up at the sky as the girl did the same.

"A cold day isn't it?" He asked the girl that he later recognized as his new classmate Shuhua.

"A cold indeed." She said in a low voice and looked down at her knees that she held close to her chest.

Eunwoo looked at her and saw her sad expression.

"What's gotten you so down?" He asked carefully so he wouldn't make her cry.

Being friends with 5 girls and having 3 sisters sure made him know how emotional girls can be at times.

"I think I just destroyed what could be a beautiful friendship out of jealousy."

"What were you jealous of?"

"Her being close to someone that I like. We fought, I said some bad things and I'm afraid to face her now."

"She'll never want to be my friend after this and our friendship just started becoming stronger."

She cried out as Eunwoo smiled and scooted closer to her.

"Listen, a friend's loyalty lasts longer than their memory."

"Of course, you might fight with your friend, even get angry with them. But a true friend will forget that anger after a while because their loyalty to their friend outweighs the memory of the disagreement."

"If she was meant to be your friend, she'll forgive and forget whatever you said in the state of anger."

"You believe so?" She looked at him.

"I know so."

"But.. I'm so different and weird she probably wouldn't want to be my friend, either way, mean no one else wanted to be."

Eunwoo's smile dropped a bit at her statement.

He better than anyone else knows what it feels like to be ashamed of being different.

And he's worried that she doesn't love herself as much as she should.

And he's worried that she doesn't love herself. much as she should.

"Do you know what my mom used to say?"

"She used to tell me that the biggest challenge in life is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else."

"Listen, being different and weird isn't a bad thing. It means that you're brave enough to be yourself."

"You think so?"

"Of course. Like a wise man once said, The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd."

"But the person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before."

"How can you know exactly what to say and when to say them?" She laughed a bit, making Eunwoo smile.

"Nah, I'm just a guy who's been through a lot of things. You know what they say, the person who's the wisest is the one that has been through most hell in life." He said and recalled his entire childhood in school.

Eunwoo had always been bullied for liking guys and just being different.

He would be called names and even his dad beat him up every day until the day he was killed in a car accident.

Eunwoo was just lucky enough to have a supportive mother, sisters, and a really good friend.

Otherwise, he believes that he would've never made it.

"Shuhua, you seem like a nice person. And I'm sure that your friend is just angry and disappointed right now."

"But if she's a good friend she'll eventually get over it because she values the friendship as much as you do."

"Thank you Eunwoo. Thank you for being here."
