Everyone waited for Hana's answer. Suddenly, she denied it, raising her hands to show that it wasn't her. it wasn't her who did it. The way Hana acted seemed to want to show kan more than anyone else, that she needed kan to believe her. Kan was watching, noticing that Ree's earlier actions had been pitiful, trying to make everyone believe him, but he suddenly turned vicious because everyone still didn't believe him. Right then, he showed the messages on his phone all the written communications and call logs between Hana and Ree. Everyone saw it and could barely believe it! Kan froze silently because she had also checked that phone herself. The Principal seemed stunned, not expecting the school's star student to do something like this over such a small matter. He was speechless and called Hana and Ree to the teachers' office to handle the matter further.
On the way, Hana walked with her head bowed, not daring to look at everyone in the classes who were staring at her. But she did turn to look at Likan, who was sitting frozen, staring blankly at Hana as she walked away. Siv Siv exclaimed, "What kind of situation is this?"
[The Principal's Verdict]
Hana was now being stared at and talked about by everyone. A question broke the silence: "Hana, why did you have the idea to do this?" The Principal asked her directly. The other teachers were also staring at her, because they never expected it to be Hana. Meanwhile, her homeroom teacher looked at Hana with concern, believing Hana was not this kind of person.
Hana looked at Ree, disappointed, then replied, "Yes," and accepted all the blame and punishment. Nearby, dan was present, helping the teachers organize documents, and he saw and heard everything. The Principal continued, asking her why she had turned into a person who avoids mistakes like this? "It is not Hana's character at all." Nevertheless, he said that because of Hana's lies and her attempt to shift the blame to others, she had to be punished: when school resumed, she had to clean the restrooms on all floors of the 12th-grade block for one month, and her score would be deducted by 20 points. Hana begged him not to deduct her score. With her pitiful expression, and given that she was a top student who brought the school fame, the teacher allowed her to clean the restroom for a full year instead, even though he didn't really want to. She agreed and thanked the teacher, as well as apologizing to all the teachers. She was deeply embarrassed. She looked at Ree, utterly disappointed and speechless. They separated, and Ree didn't even say sorry.
[ Gossip and Changing Sides]
Meanwhile, Sina had delivered the milk to the 11th-grade block and her own class. On the way, she was muttering to herself about the relationship and how everything she thought seemed wrong. Tuna only listened. When they arrived, everyone in the class, who hadn't liked or talked to the Class President before, started asking about the matter because rumors travel fast and made them curious. Sina turned and saw Sara sitting and chatting with the group of students who had fought with Sina before. Sina turned back and told them what they wanted to know: Ree, our classmate, was the one who caused the problem in the 12th-grade block and class 12B. He was caught but refused to admit the truth until he was cornered, then confessed that he actually acted under the request and command of Senior Hana.
They and other junior students could hardly believe it, so they began analyzing the problem and talking about Hana. Suddenly, miew, Tang, and Lin quickly ran in to tell Sara some news. Sara was surprised, but Sina noticed that Sara acted unsurprised when she was talking, but now, when the others came, she pretended to be shocked. What exactly is going on?
Back in the classroom, Siv Siv stood behind kan, gently rubbing her shoulder. She was sitting, stunned by the earlier events and what she saw in the chat: the communication between Ree and Hana seemed intimate!
[Kan's memory of the chat content] Hana: Ree, we've known each other for a long time. Can you help me with something? Ree didn't refuse, as he liked Hana very much. He was willing to do anything Hana wanted him to do. What kan saw was Hana asking him to help break her class window so everyone would blame kan , saying kan always stays behind alone, so she must have done it, especially since there were no cameras. Ree agreed unconditionally. This was what was written in the chat, with many calls between them.
She thought, I haven't asked to check Hana's phone yet! But did Hana really not do it? Why didn't she show her phone, and why did she remain silent? If it was her, why would she use such a weak trick? Likan felt a mixture of disbelief and belief that Hana was the culprit.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening made everyone turn. It was Hana walking back in alone and silently, passing under the gaze of students in the surrounding classes. Some didn't believe she did it, but the feeling of disbelief was lower than the feeling of disappointment, as if they had been tricked by someone. However, others who disliked her and had kept it hidden for a long time expressed their feelings, believing she definitely did it. They were jealous of Hana's perfection and always found small excuses to believe Hana's flaws and hate her. But they wanted to feel that their hatred was justified, convincing themselves they weren't just hating for no reason as is to console themselves for hating someone who deserves to be hated, without feeling guilt or discomfort.
The students in the class stared, and one person who was staring with a look of satisfaction was Mala, showing that she was genuinely happy with the situation. Liv saw this and came to stand in front of her, looking at her, preventing her from looking at kan with those eyes anymore. But Mala looked back at him, extremely annoyed. Seeing this, Liv grabbed her hand and dragged her outside to talk. He held her hand so tightly that it hurt, and she hit Liv's hand to make him let go. How dare you hold me like that? Her face was very annoyed by Liv's action, but Liv didn't let go and continued to drag her forward. She managed to glance back and signal Tara and Sing Sing to go inside to watch what was happening in the class.
"Hey, what's going on?" She snatched her hand away, and Liv let go. Her hand had a red mark. "This jerk!" she exclaimed. "How dare you do this?"
"Why does Mala look so satisfied in this situation? So, What's wrong with you about my eyes? (Mala is referring to Liv's previous question.) And don't call my name.
It's not good when we see someone in distress and we stare at them with eyes that seem pleased with their sorrow. Mala: "Don't be nosy and mind your own business! Especially, don't you dare cross the line! And how dare you lecture me?" She said angrily and walked away, but then she turned back and kicked Liv's leg, causing him to feel a lot of pain.
A voice was heard. Niv rolled a volleyball that hit Liv's foot. He picked up the ball and helped Liv stand up properly.
Niv: "Senior, are you okay?" "Hey, I'm fine!
So, What about the class? How is Senior kan? Liv looked at him and asked how he knew. Nic said that rumors travel fast, and he heard it from his classmates. Liv told him it wasn't a big deal, just that the result made kan not want to believe it and was too emotional to accept it! Niv asked Senior Liv to tell Senior kan not to overthink it. time would heal it. "Tell her to take care of herself, from me, Niv, class 11D." After saying that, he left first, leaving Liv to watch him, wondering why he didn't go himself or call her to talk to her directly.
[ The Final Break]
Back in the classroom, the Class President tried to change the atmosphere, announcing to everyone that starting tomorrow, the school would be closed until the 23rd, which was the reopening day. And for class 12B's cleanup duty, it would be on April 19th, and everyone must come to school to clean the school and the classroom. Even though the Class President tried to change the atmosphere, it still didn't change much. Hana, who was listening, went to sit at her desk and slept with her face down on the table after staring at kan, but kan didn't dare look at her, so she went to sit at her desk. Everyone stared at Hana, wanting her to explain herself.
Suddenly, Vice President neaya came and told the Class President that her work was done. She asked to leave first. The Class President didn't refuse, nodding while looking at Hana with eyes full of concern. She left, and Vice President Lida followed her. Lida walked shoulder to shoulder with neaya with a somewhat stiff, emotionless demeanor, which was typical of Lida. she was a straightforward, quiet person who didn't act playfully or joke around like others.
"Hey, you look upset? And you left first. don't you think it's a pity that you won't see him for half a month?" Her words made neaya turn to look at her, confused. Why would Vice President Lida say this? She pulled Lida's hand away and said, "We are not that close." Lida smiled, but her smile seemed forced, as is trying hard to make it look like a real smile. her face was too expressionless. "If you love him, why don't you tell him?" neaya didn't say anything, and she went a different way from Lida to go home. On the way, she recalled the Class President's eyes looking at Hana with concern, and it seemed more than that. It made her feel very strained.
Back in the classroom, the students were still waiting for Hana's explanation. Suddenly, Yin's phone rang. He answered and then walked over to gently tap kan's shoulder, telling her to calm down and not rush. Then he left first! Kan gave a dry smile. San asked her is she wanted to go home and offered to take her. She shook her head and walked over to Hana's desk, seeing her sleeping face down on the table.
"It's not your character. Don't sleep like that!" Siv Siv smiled, seeing that kan was better, but Hana still didn't lift her head to look at kan. She tried to keep a smiling face, as if nothing had happened, and invited Hana to walk home together. She gently pulled Hana's hand several times to wake her, but Hana immediately pulled her hand away.
Hana got up, didn't say anything, gathered her things, and walked out, but Likan called her name, making her stop for a moment. Hana smiled hopelessly and asked, "It looks like you still have nothing to ask?" After being shocked by Hana's unprecedented action Hana had never done this before! Kan asked, "Why are you doing this, Hana? And why are you the one who is being accused of being the culprit?"
Are you sure this is the question you should be asking? She smiled slightly and continued, "Last time, I was the one who had to comfort you for you to be fine again. And now! She laughed a little, exasperated. Likan couldn't control herself when she heard what Hana said to her. It's true. Was this really the true feeling in Hana's heart that she had been holding for a long time?
Everyone thought Hana shouldn't be acting like this, because right now, she was the one who needed to explain to Likan, so it wasn't the time to project her anger onto kan! Hana smiled back at them: "It's funny that you guys didn't like Likan, right? Why are you acting nice now? You don't know anything. stay quiet! And before, I told you it wasn't me. I was framed! But your eyes have already changed. What more explanation do you need from me? Right, Vira Likan?" kan's eyes widened because it was the first time since they were little that Hana had called her by her full name.
Suddenly, San asked, "Aren't you two friends? Why are you doing this? Why don't you ask and explain to each other?" Hana looked at San instantly. Kan saw her eyes, and she didn't want Hana to use that look on anyone, nor did she want anyone to see that look! The Class President told Hana to resolve the problem first. But Hana looked at him and replied, "It's over! The result is that it's me. What more do you need?" Class President: "But you said you were framed, so explain it to us.we can help each other." Hana: "It's too late! Everyone's eyes have already answered and understood that it's me."
The sound of clapping was heard it was Mala.
"kan is truly a great actress! Do you feel the same way now as you did back then? That feeling where you have to be angry and disappointed, and you are right to be angry and disappointed! You are suitable to receive explanations and comfort. Isn't that right? Do you all know? I went to ask a student named Ree, and I tried hard to ask until he finally answered. In fact, Senior Hana has been holding on to disappointment for a long time: when Likan found out that Senior Hana had a crush on that friend, but Likan found out and still confessed to that person first and became his girlfriend. It hurt Hana deeply. Later, by coincidence, the homeroom teacher asked kan to withdraw so as not to waste time, because if there was a competition, the winner would still be Hana. everyone knew her capability. Moreover, it was just before the competition with other schools. She won against the other schools in the entire province, then represented the province and won the national physics and math competition, and also represented the country in the ASEAN competition, winning second place. Nevertheless, her name was still nominated for the world competition, where she placed third. Her name was put forward to study abroad a long time ago, but she felt that she had wronged to Likan even she is not wrong . She was afraid that Likan would think ill of her. But what she was afraid of was exactly what Likan thought: that Hana wanted revenge and took this opportunity. Hana put her study abroad on hold, saying she would go study in the US after high school. It is true that Likan thought that way. In her heart, she knew it. She had to stay silent because it was true."
"Well, I came to tell you this because I didn't want everyone to have a biased prejudice against Hana and hate her for no reason. So, don't just hate if you don't know the story.you should try to understand."
Suddenly, everyone said kan was wrong but love doesn't depend on anything but the heart, so how could she force it? As for Hana, her mistake was twofold: she had the intention to seek revenge on kan by taking advantage of the situation, and now she has the idea of seeking revenge by shifting the blame! They suddenly disliked Hana and started encouraging kan not to overthink it. They seem to change their minds so quickly!
Hana smiled. What do they know? What does her smile mean exactly? Likan could only stare at Hana walking out. She wanted to follow, but her feet felt heavy and unable to move.
Siv Siv waved goodbye to kan, signaling that she would take care of Hana, then walked out after Hana. She caught up with Hana's hand and gently rubbed it.
"I believe you. And kan does too. she just needs time." Hana smiled and asked, "Why do you believe me? Your eyes looked the same as theirs just now." Siv Siv turned the conversation into a laugh, asking when Hana became a fortune teller. This made Hana laugh a little and say that she was truly disappointed just now, but she didn't dare show it. As for kan, she must be the same. "Thank you, Siv!"
