"It was me..." The boy whispered, lowering his head. "I'm truly sorry..."

.

This revelation left everyone, students and teachers, completely stunned and speechless. No one at SKZ High School had expected such a confession from him. The principal, with flushed face and sweaty hands, was at a loss for words, while the Inspector had become as pale as a sheet.

"It's not possible... Not... Not you..."

But why would the best student in the highschool lie?

Why would such an innocent, kind, serious and admired boy do such a thing? Was he really a drug dealer? Had he been hiding his game from everyone for so long? Was he a wolf in sheep's clothes? Was the whole highschool wrong about him?

To find out the answer, it was necessary to go back in time...

"Well, what exactly do you want from me?"

Stuck in that locker with Hwang Hyunjin, I had the unnerving impression of being in front of a living... totally insurmountable level puzzle. Yes... the pink-haired boy puzzled me and at the same time, he had that unsettling thing in his eyes that made me curious.

In the darkness, he gave me an indecipherable look.

"Um..." With a theatrical gesture, he placed his index finger in his cheek's hollow, increasing the suspense. "Tell you I've never seen anyone so cute with braces on?"

Immediately, he laughed before looking more serious.

"Well... I wanted a chance to apologize... for having broken your picture's frame."

"Oh, and to tell me that, you had to lock us there?"

Seeing him squint, I swallowed sharply.

"Seriously? Haven't you noticed how your fan club has treated me since that day? They won't even let me near you!"
