he was that stereotypical shy, silent, smart kid.
and everyone hated it, of course.
his innocence, freedom, self-esteem was gone at such a young, tender age.

hard working parents
money
mansion
maids
good school
but how come people are so cruel towards him just because of appearance?
why does he have to get bullied, punched, mocked, treated like an animal just because he wears glasses when he was a kid, just because he's a top 1 in class, just because he was overweighed?
and therefore, he learned that it's difficult to love a leaf.
so difficult to love the ordinary.
