Suppressing the heavy feeling of injustice in my heart, I bend down to pick up my money, which only garnering more scorn.
"Why did she bend down so pathetically like that? Does she not have any pride at all?"
"I bet she is just seeking attention. You know how everyone ignores her existence."
"I wish she cut out the pitiful act. I am embarrassed just by looking at her!"
"What a boring girl. And here I thought there will be a good drama."
I turned a deaf ear toward the insults they threw at me. They are just bystanders, and I didn't want to hurt myself further by taking their insults to heart.
After picking up my money, I planned to just go away from here. But somehow, I stay rooted in my place. My blood was boiling as I stared at the bread seller auntie.
Instead of guilt, the auntie lifted her chin haughtily toward me. She was sure that I won't dare to do anything since everyone in the room was against me.
