South korea has one of the most competitive educational systems, students are pressured into doing their best, of course this comes with the increasing mental health problems. But like any other country, there will always be troublemakers, causing problems to those around them. You'd think by staying away from all trouble will guarantee you safety right...?

I finished ironing and folded my new school uniform. Nervousness began to bubble up inside my stomach. Enrolling to a new school is hard to handle, especially from a completely different country.

".. I'm scared. Making new friends is so difficult, what's worse is that I'm all alone and can't depend on someone else to help me." A minute passed of spacing out but I snapped out of it. I figured that what would be best for me is to explore my surroundings. "Stop overthinking yn. How about we have some fun time with myself in the city?"

After a complicated time of deciding what clothes to wear, I ended up just wearing grey sweatpants with a sweater and some sneakers. I looked around the populated area with tall and beautiful buildings whilst standing in awe. Holy crap. I really wish I could see this with my parents right now.

I spent multiple hours walking around the place, visiting well known places and was enjoying my day in general, until I heard cheers and yells a few feet away from me. Out of curiosity, I scooted my way into the center of the pit and what was next shocked me.

"Zack stop!" A light haired brunette with 2 braids yells at a tough looking teenager, his hand being occupied by yanking a poor looking kid's hair.

"I told you not to show yourself again." The teen growled. "Take this." He raised his other fist and brutally punched the victim right in the face. At the same time, the crowd took videos and pictures with their phones, laughing at the situation.

I stared at the scene in shock, highly disturbed by what's occurring. No way, this is too much..

I look around the people, expecting to find some sympathy drawn on their faces, but I only see every, single, one of them recording on their phones, being entertained by the sight happening.

Why!? Is this normal in Seoul? That assaulter even looks my age, could there also be people like him at the school I'm transferring to? Wait, but I don't know the context to why this fight even happened. Maybe the chubby boy is bad. Should I let curiosity take over?

I wait for a few minutes for everyone to walk away after the fight ended. I stare at the beaten up guy who begins to walk away. Is he innocent here? There was a girl who was trying to stop the other guy, maybe he was bothering her and that's why he got beat up? That could be it. I mean, not to be rude but, he does have an appearance similar to Kim Jung Un, it's probably no surprise that that guy acts weird towards women.

Because of my lost in thought, I notice him slowly disappearing from my vision. Oh, he's getting away. Actually, what if he might try something suspicious again? My heart began to race at the idea that suddenly popped in my head. Should I.. follow him? I mean, just to make sure.

With my final decision made, I began following the guy for a minute.

More time has passed and I start to feel silly for continuing following this random boy I felt pity for. Maybe this isn't worth it. I just wasted time stalking.. someone who doesn't even know me. Better to just go home. I stop in a tracks and pulled out my phone to find directions to my home.

"Hey, excuse me miss." Someone says. I look up from my phone and see the pitiful person I followed. "Are you following me?"

Oh shit! What do I say? "Umm, I just.." I could feel my face burning as I try to form up an excuse. Think think think!! I could say.. the truth? "Okay, I saw that fight you got into," I tell him the truth. I see his face turn upset. "Anddd, I just wanted to check up on you, that punch, it looked vicious." I say.
