It was lunchtime at school.
Isaac Tremblay, as usual, was hanging out with girls in the yard. As he was complimenting a girl who was gluing him while playing in one of her wicks, he received a notification.
When he saw it, his face suddenly faded. He excused the girls and went to a remote part of the school to make a call.
Isaac still checked that no one was close before reaching his contact. His contact hung up quickly and Isaac didn't wait before taking on an aggressive voice.
"These guys have found the base! What the hell are you doing?! I don't pay you to let that kind of thing happen!"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed disinterested.
"Hey! I'm not your exclusive slave." He rolled his eyes before he started to gape.
"Not my problem if they found your safe house. Make it up to yourself. And, I thought it was okay if someone found it?"
The man had hung up. Isaac clenched his fist. If it hadn't been for the fact that he was in public, he would have screamed.
================
Jae Hyun and the others arrived at the school and sat at a table.
Now that they thought about it, they were getting hungry. Tiffany offered to go to buy sandwiches for everyone. Since dinner time was quite late, it was quick.
After receiving her sandwich, Jasmine put herself in a listening position and looked at Jae Hyun.
"Well, why don't you tell us what's on your mind now?"
After swallowing a bite, he replied.
"Yeah. We're going to trap Isaac."
"SET A TRAP?!"
She got up screaming. Seeing people around her looking at her, she sat down embarrassed. She picked herself up and whispered.
"Trap him? And how? Don't you think if it was that easy, we would have done it by now."
"Maybe it was before, but now we have irrefutable evidence."
Tiffany cut it off.
"Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Their confession won't change much."
"Who said I was talking about this evidence?" He took another bite. "Whatever. Finish eating. You know the saying never to fight on an empty stomach, right?"
The group, reassured by his words, ate. Even Vivian, who was moody, had regained her strength.
==================
Isaac opened a door and entered a bright room. Given the many instruments lying around, he could guess that it was a music room. However, he guessed that it must have been the old one because it was too small for the numbers of people in the school orchestra or choir.
Of course, he didn't come here to admire the room.
He looked again at the message he had received to make sure it was in the right place.
"If you don't want this video to circulate in the school, come to music room A-210."
A file was linked to the message. After opening it, he could hear 7 guys between 15 and 18 years old confessed to raping Lea after Isaac asked them to. They also told how he brought in different girls every week.
Isaac closed the door behind him.
"I'm here. Show yourself! I know it's you, Vivian!"
A deep voice was heard. It was clearly the voice of a young man.
"Too bad. It's not her."
"Who are you?" replied Isaac.
Jae Hyun, who was sitting in a dead corner of the room, got up and walked towards him.
So Isaac saw it. A more handsome man than he had ever seen before. Although he was proud of his physique, Isaac had to admit that he was no match for him. Just thinking about it made him even angrier.
"Wait. Aren't you that new guy? Lee Jae Hyun, right? The one whose pictures are circulating on the school forum?"
Jae Hyun was surprised. School forum? Wait! Wait! His photos? How did people get it? He remembered then that Jasmine liked to take pictures of him. He should talk to her about it later.
Seeing that he was getting lost in thoughts unrelated to his coming, Isaac pulled himself together.
"I don't think we came here to get to know each other, do you?" says Jae Hyun.
"Hmph. Yeah. " Isaac started the video and turned it towards Jae Hyun. "I don't know why you sent me this, but I just came to tell you that what you were doing was useless."
Isaac redirected himself to the door. Jae Hyun smothered a laugh.
"Really? Then why did you come all the way out here?"
Isaac stopped abruptly as he was touched in his esteem. He was going to retaliate when a familiar voice reached his ears. He would recognize it from between miles away; it was Lea's.
"Why did you do this to me? I loved you!" Lea's voice was dull. You could hear him swallowing tears. "I trusted you. Tell me that's not true."
Isaac's voice followed.
"You're a pain in the ass. It's not my fault you're naive—"
Jae Hyun cut off the audio. Isaac turned around and smiled at him with a challenge.
"And? What does that prove? It's not uncommon for couples to break up. Or are you implying that I pushed her off the roof?"
==================
Meanwhile, in the broadcasting room.
The members of the radio committee who were in charge of creating the atmosphere at school during lunch hour by talking about various subjects were interrupted.
Jasmine, Daniel, Emma, Tiffany, and Vivian had just come in. It was not prohibited for students to come to the club because even if members were on air, they were in a room soundproof on the other side of a window. But it was rare to see so many students coming at the same time towards the end of lunchtime; not to mention that they looked serious.
Daniel spoke.
"I hear we can get a message across if we wanted to?"
One of the members approached him.
"Yeah, but it has to be approved before. Also, there is a waiting list so you may be able to pass it next week."
It didn't help them. If possible, they wanted permission before broadcasting. But they had prepared to take by force the room if necessary.
Suddenly someone yawned while stretching. He rubbed his eyes while looking at them. This was the school's vice-president, Sato Tadao, who was also the president of the radio committee. Even if he had a certain notoriety, it was the first time Jasmine had seen him.
He had an angelic face and was thin. His green eyes complemented the color of his purple hair well.
"Lee Suri is lucky," Jasmine thought.
Still asleep, Sato Tadao spoke.
"What's the matter?"
Karl, the vice-president of the club explained the situation to him.
"Well, why not. Anyway, the program we had planned was canceled. If it's not long, it should be fine."
"B... But... Shouldn't we check the content first?"
"Hmm. They don't seem to have any bad intentions. By the way, what time is it?"
As a reflex, Karl replied.
"13h10."
Sato Tadao yawned again.
"Classes start again in 20 minutes then? I can still sleep a little longer in this case."
He went back to bed on the sofa. The vice president banged his discouraged forehead.
"I'm not responsible if it goes to shit."
It made you wonder if Sato Tadao was really supposed to be shy. If he hadn't been his childhood friend, Karl would have thought he was creating a role for himself. How could he be so sure of himself when he was on the committee, but shy in real life? He would never understand the human mind.
Finally, Karl directed them to the broadcast room.
"It's yours when you want it."
Instead of sitting around the table, they went to the console to activate it while Daniel who was live with Jae Hyun activated the sound of his wristband.
Isaac's voice resonated in the school.
