Because others bullied Beomgyu and couldn't explain, he was punished by the teacher to stand and meet his little bell.
Ryujin questioned, ❝Why did you get punished for standing there? Did the kids tattle on you, too?❞ In response, Beomgyu shook his head. Ryujin inquired once again,
❝The game is no fun,❞ Beomgyu said.
❝I think so too. These adults only like obedient children. They don't like us. It's like they can't even hear our words. However, don't be afraid. My dad said that even if others can't hear us we must become brave baby whales.❞
Beomgyu's head tilts in confusion. ❝Didn't your father ever tell you about the story of the lost baby whales?❞
Little Bell will tell Little Wood the story of the baby whale, help him in finding the toy, and shield him from bullies. Now that Wood has matured, the snail girl who transformed into a little bell may also protect her development.
❝I can't believe. I can't believe. Little Wood changes to be my kind helper.❞ Ryujin chuckled while looking at the necklace
❝Actually, it's a pity of two scores short.❞ Beomgyu said
❝Actually, it's not that I don't want a tutorship. You just haven't been the stressful cram school. But tutors my mother likes is either the retired practiced lecturer or the excellent class teacher who quit his job. They're both strict. They're both the incarnation of severity. I really can't stand it.❞ Ryujin complained groaning
❝I can help you.❞ Beomgyu uttered
❝You help me? You help me with tutoring? Sure. Do you know the key points you combed is suitable for me. I seemed to fail in the last exam. It was already my highest score ever. Listen, But my mother may not agree. She just likes the combination of those two abnormal tutors. What a bore! Forget about me. How do you do? I heard a little bit about that you dropped out of No.1 Experimental High School. Is it true?❞ Ryujin inquired. Beomgyu just stay silent
❝Don't be afraid. You're now in Hanlim School. Ryu is by your side and nobody dares to bully you❞ Ryujin reassured. Beomgyu smiled at her ❝What are you laughing at? Don't you believe it?❞
❝No. You're the same as when you were a child.❞
As before, Ryujin will remain in front of Beomgyu to defend him, but she is only allowed to come tip-toe close to his head. The little wood that was there is now taller and no longer a little bell that he can touch. As Beomgyu saw Ryujin's hand extended, she made the move to stoop down in front of her, remove her hat, and actively touch Ryujin, just like she used to do as a child.
Ryujin placed the recently sent whale woodcut by Beomgyu around his neck. They made a mutual commitment to one another that nobody would ever abruptly vanish again after that. Together, they would possess unending bravery to confront the unknown.
❝Beomgyu, I feel like you look better without a hat.❞ Because of what Ryujin spoke nonchalantly, Beomgyu removed his hat and fearlessly faced life. It was the first time his attractive appearance was noticed by his peers. Yuna and Kai were unable to ignore the slight shift between Ryujin and Beomgyu, which just acknowledged their shared history.
