Ever since Wooyoung was little, he had struggled with self-esteem, calling himself ugly every time he looked in the mirror and believing his face was frightening. He couldn't see beyond his imperfections. He swore he was the ugliest boy, wishing he were as attractive as other men.

This had affected him to the point of going to therapy and taking pills to relax his mind, but even so, the belief that he was physically hideous never went away; it always tormented him. When he liked a boy, he lowered his expectations because he believed they saw him as hideous.

One day, he was walking through the school hallways, hiding his face under his sweatshirt. Suddenly, as he turned a corner, he bumped into you. Instinctively, he grabbed your arms to keep you from falling, but when he found himself looking into your eyes, he quickly looked away and abruptly let go, thinking you had been frightened by his face.

── Excuse my clumsiness.

He said timidly, avoiding looking at your face, not wanting to scare you as he thought he did when he looked others in the eyes.
