In the midst of the lively crowd, Bo-ra stood, her eyes scanning for Yeon-du, her best friend. The air was filled with laughter and the distant sound of a school bell ringing. "Yeon-du, over here!" she called, waving energetically.
Yeon-du giggled as she joined Bo-ra at a table piled high with study materials. "I heard a rumor about you and that new boy," she teased. Bo-ra blushed and shook her head, trying to focus on her notes.
Bo-ra and Yeon-du walked side by side, discussing their future dreams and aspirations. "I want to study abroad, see the world," Yeon-du said wistfully. Bo-ra nodded, her heart full of support for her friend's ambitions.
Bo-ra sat quietly, poking at her lunch, as whispers about her and the new boy circulated around her. Yeon-du sat next to her, offering silent support. "They don't know anything," she reassured. Bo-ra sighed, grateful for her friend's loyalty.
The new boy, Ji-hoon, approached Bo-ra, his expression earnest. "I wanted to clear things up," he began, explaining the misunderstanding. Bo-ra listened intently, her heart lifting as the truth unfolded.
Bo-ra, Yeon-du, and Ji-hoon sat together, sharing stories and laughter. "To friendship and new beginnings," Yeon-du declared, raising an imaginary glass. Bo-ra smiled, feeling grateful for the bonds that would carry them into the new century.
