Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was 12. She suffered from self-harm and depression. She was still in sixth grade. She had a best friend, but that's all. Still, the friend herself was a little toxic. The little girl didn't know why she was the way she was. One thing was clear to her. She hated it. She hated herself. Her personality, her looks, her behavior. Everything. She wanted to die. Her grades at school were good, her parents were happy with her, but still she wasn't happy with herself.

She started hurting herself. At school, during the break, her friend noticed that the little girl had small cuts on her hand. She asked her. "Did you cut yourself?" The little girl thought for a while until she answered. "No, I accidentally cut myself on paper." Her friend seemed dissatisfied with her answer, yet she didn't ask any further. No one knew she hurt herself. No one knew how much it hurt her. Everyone thought she was fine. She always smiled happily at everyone. She supported everyone no matter what. From the other's point of view, she was shy, quiet, nice and respectful.

From her point of view, she wasn't shy, she was just socially frightened. That's also why she only has one Friend. She got along well with her classmates. They were just classmates to her. Nothing more. But her only friend hung out with two other girls in her class. Which was normal for the little girl until she found out that these three girls hated the little girl massively. She's got it from a boy who's heard some of it. She didn't understand why her "friend" was still hanging out with her. She realized it very quickly. "Just because I have good grades." *sigh*

Until then, she just pretended she didn't know. She didn't have long before she had to change schools anyway.

She was lying in bed at home listening to music. At the time, she liked pop music. This one's changed a bit. She was recommended •Black Swan• by BTS. She listened to it. She liked it. She listened to it again. From that moment on, she started loving K-Pop.

On Instagram in May, she saw there's going to be a survival show. It's gonna be a boys' group. The survival show was called l-land. "I'll take a look." she said. The show started in June, too. The first one she noticed was Daniel. He was young, too. Just like her. Towards the end of I-land, she just hoped that Ni-ki would make it. She was very convinced of Ni-ki. The way he dances. "Wow."

When she saw Ni-ki made it, she was overjoyed. She hasn't felt so happy in a long time. That was once when she didn't have to pretend she was happy. No, she was really happy right now. "Enhyphen woaah, a cool name."

It was all the same at school. The only thing that wasn't the same was that her "friend" ignored her. She didn't have a clue why, but she didn't care. "It's better to be alone than with her." She was right. Don't you think?
