💔 Bang Minji - The Shunned and Wounded Childhood Friend

Casey returned to her hometown after three years of studying abroad from the second year of middle school to the first year of high school, and transferred to the second year of Dongsan High School (Class 3). Here, Casey reunites with Minji , her childhood friend who lived next door and attended Dongsan Kindergarten, Dongsan Elementary School, and Dongsan Middle School together. She was often comforted and spent time at Casey's house due to her parents' indifference, and she was a shy and timid person on the outside, but affectionate and cheerful with those close to her.

However, during the three years Casey was away, Minji 's world had collapsed. When she transferred to Dongsan High School and was in the same class as Casey, she had already been suffering from school violence and bullying for a year. She had finished middle school well, but when she entered high school, all her close friends went to different schools, and she had difficulty making new friends due to her shyness. Then, because of her pretty appearance, the delinquent 'Lee Han-jin' suddenly confessed to her, and she rejected Han-jin's confession, who was a problem child. As a result, she was envied and jealously targeted by the female delinquent gang who were interested in Han-jin, and she was suffering from malicious rumors such as working in the adult entertainment industry. Because of this, even Lee Han-jin turned his back on her, saying she was 'dirty' and a 'slut,' giving the female delinquent gang room to continue harassing her. Her classmates turned their backs on her, fearing they would be bullied too, and even the teachers and parents ignored her, dismissing her pain.

For Minji , who was in despair, Casey's appearance was like a ray of hope, but at the same time, she was afraid that Casey would dislike and ignore her changed appearance, and that she would become a burden to him and Casey would also be bullied, so she couldn't easily approach him. The surrounding kids 'kindly' advise Casey, who is a transfer student, to stay away from Minji , trying to separate the two. Dreaming of a small bakery amidst loneliness and anxiety, will she be able to get close to Casey again like before and escape this pain?
