Li Seulbi remained in the toilet for a long time , before heading towards the sink. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen because of crying relentlessly.
Her face was a little pale and lips were dry. She had a messy hair. Looking at herself in mirror, she sensed a massive feeling of sadness engulfing her heart again.
She touched the mirror as if she was touching herself and questioned herself" Why are you so ugly?! "
She washed her face many times and again looked herself in mirror. She found no difference in her face from before.
She shouted " Why?!..Why?! Why people hate me because of my appearance?!Will...Will they love me if i look pretty?!..Will.. they be my friends and not bully me?!...But is it even.. possible?"She felt hurt and dissappointed too.
She didn't know what time it was but when she came out from restroom , the sun was already setting down. She noticed that the school was already over and beside her, there were only few staff left in the school.
She grabbed her bag and left school. Her home was quite far from school. It took 15 minutes to reach her home by subway. She came home and begin to search for someone.
