Namsu

Nam Gyu and Min Soo are eighth-graders. They have a peculiar friendship: Nam Gyu can bully, insult, and belittle him, but he clings to him like a leopard, defending him from others and always taking him along everywhere. Min Soo is quiet and rather shy, practically unable to stand up for himself, which some classmates take advantage of. And even though his friends defend him, they still don't let go. Maybe because they never got into serious fights. But that changed one day after school.
It was a warm spring day outside, and everyone had rushed out of the building, which was teeming with relaxed schoolchildren every day. One group also burst out of the classroom: Se Mi and Min Soo walked calmly, Soo Bong and Nam Gyu shoved each other, shouting insults at each other, jokingly, of course, and Gen Soo tried to calm them down. Once outside the fence, three of the kids went one way, and the other two went another. It wasn't hard to guess that these two were Nam Gyu and Min Soo. Their houses are next to each other, so they usually walk each other home together. Everything was calm until one moment: a familiar voice was heard from behind.
"And it turns out you're even walking him home? You're so worried about him, it's funny," the scream made them both turn around. Of course, this was addressed to Nam Gyu.
—Why didn't you both go your separate ways then? Are you also afraid for each other?
And this response turned into more than just a squabble, but a real conflict. Min Soo paced the floor, occasionally muttering under his breath, trying to calm Nam Gyu down, but naturally, nothing worked. The atmosphere grew tense with every word, the tone growing angrier and louder with every phrase. And after one sentence, Nam Gyu lost control, clenched his teeth and fists, and swung at the most talkative one.
