Come give us some encouragement. I'm a newbie><-----
The story of a high school girl named Licorice who was bullied and teased by people around her because Her face is ugly. She secretly likes a guy in school. She decides to confess her love to him, but he refuses. This is the beginning of her taking a large sum of money to get plastic surgery, hoping to start a new life at university.
“Who would want a face like this?”
“not beautiful” “ugly” “ugly” “ugly face” “black”
These words are memories from high school that I will never forget.
Why do people like to focus so much on their "outside" appearance? Why don't we look inside? What do we think? Why do we admire people only on the outside? Whether it's good or bad, it doesn't matter. See the importance of values...
Jingle, jingle, jingle
This bright morning was perfect for starting my new life at university.
"Sigh.....Hope it's a good morning."
"Mom, I'll go first. Hello."
“Be careful, licorice.”
“I know,” I replied because I knew he was worried but I myself grew up to go to university.
Enough to separate what is good and what is bad.
at university
“Youngers who have just arrived, please register here.” The voice of a senior came to welcome the juniors on the summer orientation day.
While I was looking for my group, a young girl about my size came and greeted me.
“You.”
"yes"
“What is your name?”
“My name is Licorice, what is your name?”
"My name is Munin. Nice to meet you."
“Also, what faculty do you study?”
“Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, and you?”
“I study in the same class as you,” Cha-em replied happily.
The megaphone sounded… “Everyone, orientation is about to start.” Cha-em and Munin then went to sit and listen to today's activities that would take place.
Suddenly!!! Cha-em raised her face to meet the eyes of her senior. She felt in love from the first time they met.
"Ugh! I'm sorry."
"nevermind"
"Come on Cha-em, hurry up or you won't be in time."
“Ah..yeah.”
Why is his face so familiar to me? But why does he have to act arrogant, thinking that if he looks good he can do anything?
"Don't look at people from the outside, Cha-em."
“Are you saying that I look at people from the outside?”
"That's right. You don't know his personality yet."
"It's true what you said, Munin." Deep in Cha-em's heart, she began to feel a dislike for Munin.
Orientation has begun... Munin was very happy with today's orientation because there were only seniors teasing her, which was contrary to Cha-em because no one paid any attention to her, so she left. Coming from orientation, someone nudged her and she turned around!!
“Younger.”
"You look very familiar. What's your name?"
"My name is Pleum. Is something wrong with you? I saw you walking out."
“I feel a little bad.”
“Do you want me to tell you something?”
“When I was at orientation, none of the seniors were interested in me, only people were interested in my friends.”
"If you're interested in me, don't think too much and just go back to the orientation." Cha-em was very happy to have someone.
Understanding her feelings made her realize that she really shouldn't judge people on the outside.
Cha-em then returned to the work together with P'Cha-em. From the first episode, Cha-em felt bad, but P' was delighted, making Cha-em feel a lot of fun at today's work. Deep in Cha-em's heart, he began to feel like P'Pleum.
The next morning…
Cha-em traveled to study at the university on the first day of the university semester.
“Every student Today we begin studying general liberal arts subjects. Randomly form groups of four people. Finish grouping now. The teacher will explain.”
"yes"
"yes"
After the teacher told me to form groups, I was excited to form groups and start making new friends.
“The first group includes Nam, Fa, Min, and Pream.”
“The second group includes Thanwa Muninchaem Jip.”
Huh, December again? But it's good to have someone I know, Munin.
“Chaem, I'm so glad to be in the same group.”
“Ah!” Muninni is such a friendly person.
“Better go find a group than licorice.”
“Hello everyone, my name is Munin and this is Licorice.”
"Hello everyone, I'm Licorice. Nice to meet you."
“She looks very familiar,” Thanwa said.
"I...feel familiar to you too. Have we met in high school?"
“Yes, I remember, you studied in the room next to mine. You can always consult me about anything.”
“Thank you.”
“Every student, listen to the teacher.. Studying in this faculty is not an easy task, so the teacher asks the students to listen carefully to the teacher.
Teach not to talk loudly like licorice and December. The work that will be started is to report on the topic of language."
“Then let's start doing it, shall we? Licorice and I will find out the information ourselves. Let's go get some licorice at the library.”
said Munin.
"Oh, let's go."
At the library
“Licorice, I have something to discuss. Do you like December or not?”
"No...I don't like it at all."..why do I have to hesitate in answering?
"Really? I thought you liked him. I was relieved."
“Actually....I really like Dec. I've liked him since the first time I saw him. Since you're close to December, are you able to help me? Well, we're friends here."
"okay"
“Thank you very much.”
At the cafeteria
“Hey December, if you don't have anything to do today, can I take you out to eat? I..don't want to go then.."
“Nothing.”
“But if you don't mind, may I bring another friend with me?”
"okay"
“Thank you, Cha-em, I really wanted to eat together just the two of you. Am I bothering the two of you?”
said Munin.
"What's wrong with you...if you knew it well, you wouldn't have come in the first place."
"I misunderstood something. Thanwa and I weren't together!! And Thanwa agreed from the beginning too."
“Relieved, I was secretly worried that you wouldn't feel close to me from the beginning.”
"I'm not that interested in you." Why did Thanwa say that..?! Munin likes
You!!
“Why do you say things like that? Such words hurt so much.”
"It's okay. I'm used to Dec's way of speaking."
“Hey, I heard a story that Munin seems to like you.”
“Who told you?”
“Everyone says that.”
“...What else do you think you're going to do? Do you know where the licorice is!?”
“Huh..I didn't answer the call yesterday. I was busy. I'm sorry." Don't lie to me.
"Sir, if you feel uncomfortable, I'll go tell Munin that I won't be able to help you further."
"..like that"
“Ugh!”
“Do you have time at noon?”
“Eh!..not yet.”
“I just happen to have something to tell you, so please answer the phone.”
"..Ah..uh.."What is this..is it something you want to tell?
We have to hurry and tell Munin about not being able to help him with December. Even though I feel guilty, I can't help.

"Munin, I have something to tell you...I think I can't help you with Dec."
“Licorice, I have to thank you very much. It's not a real story. But if you help me to the end, I will be very grateful. Because I really like him, I will make him interested in me, I think. Something natural is more charming than something that has been manipulated. For us, anything that is natural is probably the most beautiful.
Beauty really is like luck, don't you think? Therefore, many unlucky people strive to receive the benefits of beauty. By getting plastic surgery, maybe the happiness of people who become more beautiful through plastic surgery is the happiness that is created from a new face.”
..What?.. What does that mean or am I just imagining it? Munin...really hates us. Maybe I didn't like it from the beginning...okay..did I do something wrong or did I just have surgery?

“Who is speaking on the line..?”
"I'm delighted. Is there something uncomfortable about you? Where are you now? I'll go find you."
“..Yes?..Uh..that is me. Now it's at the fountain."
"Wait for me, I'll go find you."
“Uh..yes.”
transvestite
"Chaem! Is there something wrong?"
"No, there's nothing.."
“Is it something to do with a person named Thanwa?”
"yes!? Ta-ta-ta..why did you think like that?”
“If it's difficult to tell, you don't have to tell. I just saw that the licorice looked different than usual.”
"Well..it's just that it's not a big deal. It's just that the most beautiful person in our group likes Dec. That's all."
“But I don't see that there is anyone more beautiful than you?”
“Don't say nonsense like that. That's it. That friend asked me to help with December.
I, too, think that the two of them are a good fit for each other, but it seems that Dec doesn't think like that.”
"..I see you and the person named December are very close."
"yes?.."
“So the person you said was beautiful asked for your help.”
"..uh..just a friend."
“So it's like this because of that?”
“Senpai, if you looked at me, you would know that I had a lot of plastic surgery. It had changed until there was no original facial structure left. The face that sunbae likes is all fake. Even like this, sunbae still insists on liking it?”
“I can say it again a hundred and a thousand times, but it doesn't matter if I had plastic surgery or not, I just like the way I am right now. Licorice seems uncertain that I like licorice or not. Is it licorice or not? Oppa..isn't it very strange for someone to like licorice?"
“So, what do you think about me?”
“Senpai is... a very good person. So good that I myself think that he is a senior. You can come to like me. For me...
Having a senior like this and being a good person like this is a good opportunity that I won't let slip away. But why….I'm still hesitant to answer as well! Sorry!! !”As soon as I finished answering, I hurried out. I'm sorry, Senpai, I'm really not ready yet.
Tick, tick, tick.
"December"
“Why aren't you answering my phone?”
"!!..Uh..I'm sorry, is there something wrong with you?"
“Do you really not know why you are living like this?”
“What do you know…”
“Well, I like you. That's what I want to tell you. I like you..and I don't want you to drag Munin into it. I don't want you to meet that senior, so don't even think about avoiding it. Please answer me.”
Probably..not joking.
“Why would someone like you, who is ready for everything, like someone like me..”
“Is that your answer? Why are people like me? And why are there people like you? Is what you look like more important? Is this what you think of me? ..I will consider this a rejection.”
“What did I..do?”
Why is there someone like me? And why is there someone like you? I know I look much better than before. After all the surgery and surgery that could be done, even though I had done that, No matter how hard I try, everyone sees me as just a plastic flower. No matter how much surgery I have, it seems like I will never be able to change again...
The next morning
“..Is there anyone sitting here yet?” I asked Dec. His face was still and he looked expressionless.
"..do not have"
“Very good...umm...is the report finished yet?”
“You think I'm inviting you to talk like this because we might go back to being friends like before.. I'm sorry because I'm a loser and I can't do things like that if you let me be. Friends as usual and then going out with other people like nothing happened like that, I don't think I can stand it. I'm sorry…” After saying that, he immediately got up and left without even listening to my words back. at all
...If I really agreed to date December, I was afraid to accept it because the second I accepted it. Everyone is probably laughing at me. Should I tell you this story? That's right. Anyway, we'll have to meet up today.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
“Yes, Nong Cha-em!”
“Uh..I'm delighted. Do you have free time to talk now? I have something to talk about.”
"Why did Nong Cha-em invite me first? I'm in front of the university."
“Then I'll just hurry.”
In front of the university
"Nong Cha-em, I'm here."
“I apologize for calling you at a time like this.”
"There's no need to apologize to me. My friend, Cha-em, I can do it for you. So, did Cha-em call you here today?"
"Uh!...From today, Cha-em won't be able to see you again. I'm sorry."
“This is how I had prepared myself. When I actually heard it...I must really like you too much, more than I do.
No matter what else you think, I hope you end up with someone named Thanwa."
"!!!Yah..don't get me wrong, Dec and I don't have a problem!"
"Even though I haven't met Cha-em for a long time, I really want Cha-em to be happy. I really speak from my heart."
"Thank you. For me, seniors are very grateful people. They are the ones who give advice and take care of me. I can't find any words to say other than thank you very much. Goodbye.."
“Don't cry, little one, goodbye. Follow your heart and don't have to listen to anyone but yourself. Don't let anyone have the right to laugh at you.”
at university
"I heard news that Chaemna likes Thanwa and Munin likes Thanwa too."
“Honestly speaking, if I had to choose between these two, anyone else would have chosen Munin without thinking..”
“But I think that if I had the body of a licorice and the face of a Munin, I would immediately start dating her, right?”
"The funny thing is that Munin is beautiful both in front of and behind her back, but she's a licorice. Behind everyone's back everyone calls her a crazy artist, haha."
Pleng!! A solid voice came from the middle of the circle. A tall figure floated and delivered one punch and the chaos started.
"Hey! Why are you fighting? Why don't you go in and stop us?"
"If there's a problem, just leave. The university please respect the place."
“Dean, please help me calm down.”
“Stop!! Take the two of you to the teacher's room.” The end of this chaotic situation was when the behavior control teacher came in and took the two of them to the teacher's room to resolve the issue between the two of them.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
“Licorice, hurry and come to the teacher's room.”
“What happened?” I replied in shock.
"Well, Dec had a quarrel with a senior over something that the senior went to gossip about, and Dec overheard and became dissatisfied."
“Then I'll take it.”
Tid
"This teacher punched me first!! My condition almost looked like I was being punched on one side."
“But she punched him back and it was violent as well. I wanted the matter to end quickly and quickly apologized for it to end. Let's fight like children. You look like you did a lot harder to him. Hurry and say sorry and let's end things on a good note."
"I'm sorry. I should have killed him so I wouldn't have to talk so much."
“Teacher, look at me, I'm not afraid of seniors or teachers at all. If you don't apologize, don't expect me to.”
I ran to the teacher's room and had to listen to something like that. I won't let anyone bully me again.
“Aren't you the senior who should be the one to apologize to me? If seniors feel a little guilty, please release December.
Please go.”
"Why did you dare to tell me? Aren't you afraid anymore?"
“Even if you and not my body protect me like this, why doesn't my body and my face protect me? I want people to look at each other's hearts and personalities. I know that it might be difficult but I don't want to be woeful. That just because I had surgery changed my face, it didn't change my entire personality. In the end, I have the answer, Thanwa."
“What answer?”
“I mean..you already know.”
“I don't know at all.”
“..that..what you..told..the other day but..that I thought..that I liked to think that way too.”
I don't understand what you're saying at all.”
“Oh, because I like..you!!” This is my second confession.
“So you yourself come..with..with me?”
"..like"
“Eh?”
“Tell me how much you like it. From now on, no matter who comes in, I'm ready to protect you..Can you trust me?"
“Ah..ah!”
Today, I have to thank myself for fighting. I will stop seeing myself as a weak point that causes deep wounds and no self-confidence. From now on, I will no longer care about other people's words. And I thank December for always finding justice for me. I don't know what he saw in me from the beginning that even I couldn't see. Even though I was a plastic flower, inside my heart was a flower. That is very beautiful as well.
