Goemul

Goemul was not always named Goemul. He used to be a teenage boy named Ji-ho, a normal boy who was born and raised in Japan. He was raised in a "traditional" household with a mother, father, and 2 sisters. They often did normal family things like going out to eat, playing games together, and even often going to the movies together. After a while, things began to change.

One Ji-ho turned 15, his mother had become a really bad addict. She often spent their money on drugs and alcohol, often causing them to go into poverty. The only place he could escape the now broken home was when he went to school. He didn't have any friends, which he didn't mind. He usually sat in the back of the room with his headphones, writing stories or drawing in his sketchbook.

One day in his English class, they had to partner up with people in their class. He didn't bother to look for a partner, probably having to work alone again. That is until some girl he never even talked to before walked over to him with a smile.

"Hi! I'm Eon. Would you like to be my partner? Nice drawing by the way." She said to him as she looked down at his sketchbook before looking back up at him.

He just stared at her before giving her a small nod, putting his sketchbook into his bag.

After class, Eon's friends called her over to eat with them. She looked at them before waving them away, walking to the courtyard with Ji-ho. They ended up talking about their project, and ended up talking about other things they liked. After school, Ji-ho had walked to Eon's car with her. Before she got in and left, he looked at her and asked.

"friends?"

She smiled at him with a nod before repeating. "Friends."
