The World Is Cruel to Us 💎 yungi [▶]

Yuna never made new friends.

She only had people she reluctantly had to call friends due to their status as a group of students gathered in the same class. However, she never found someone she truly considered a friend.

They were nice, treating Yuna like a human being. However, past incidents always lingered in her memory, making her extremely cautious in friendships. She had to be careful and learn to distinguish whether they were genuinely good or just looking to take advantage of her.

Yuna preferred solitude, and so she became a loner. Her friends thought she had her own identity, so they didn't bother her.

Mingi was in the same class again, by the way. Yuna cursed why, out of hundreds of students in her former elementary school, it had to be Song Mingi who was destined to be her classmate again. Initially, she thought that even though she had to part ways with San, at least graduation would mean parting ways with that boy, and she wouldn't have to feel awkward every time she entered the class.

Turns out, she would still have to feel that awkwardness for the next three years because this school didn't use a rolling system every year. She planned to make sure next time to check if Song Mingi's name was on the list for the high school she would attend. Because she would avoid him.

During her time in junior high, Yuna studied the trends around her friends. She started growing her hair until it reached her waist, no longer the shoulder-length hair that didn't suit her chubby cheeks, making her look even rounder and worse. Her body was slim, despite going through a growth phase that enlarged her entire body. She intentionally never changed her school uniform since the first day, making it look tight on her body. Revealing her above-average breast size that always made her friends jealous. Her skirt was lifted higher, showing her well-shaped thighs. Plus, she cut it five centimeters short. Jung Yuna was the dream girl for boys, a role model for girls.

It wasn't just Yuna who underwent changes. Mingi slowly caught up in height until he became taller than Yuna. His body became more muscular, and his chest broader. His crooked teeth were still there, but at least he combed his hair more neatly now. A sleek side-part, showcasing his shiny forehead. His voice started to crack and became deeper, and the thing he disliked the most about all the changes in himself was that he now had to regularly shave his face every few weeks.

Yuna and Mingi grew from children to teenagers, becoming better, becoming figures with more attractive appearances. Just like the popular proverb you're tired of hearing; puberty hit them hard, like a mythical gigantic demon, right in their souls.

Unfortunately, both of them were oblivious to the changes in each other, as they grew together and met every day.
