HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 205: Agitation and Fabrication (2)

Online articles about Kang Ra-Eun having been complicit in school violence had started to spread like wildfire. Dark pasts dealt massive damage to a celebrity’s image; not even Ra-Eun would be able to get away scot-free from it. However, the first thing that Ra-Eun felt was not bewilderment but doubt.

‘Had I ever been complicit in school violence?’

She recalled her high school days, but she couldn’t think of anything that could brand her as a perpetrator of school violence. Rather, it was the opposite.

‘I believe I’d spent my high school days as a model student.’

She had definitely not been the nicest, but she had never done anything that would result in her guardian being called.

‘Or could it have happened before I had entered this body?’

Ra-Eun did not know exactly how the original owner of her body had spent her high school days. She only had a rough guess.

‘She apparently was far from being a model student.’

It was obvious that Kang Ra-Hyuk would have no idea even if she asked him. Even if they were family, he had not monitored her twenty-four-seven, so there was no way he would know what she was like in school.

‘At times like this...’

It would be better to ask someone other than her older brother, and there was just the right person to ask in this very household.

“Yi-Seo! Can we talk for a second? It’s urgent!”

***

The news of Ra-Eun being complicit in school violence had also reached her agency. Chief Jung also called Ra-Eun after Yu-Bin had.

- Ra-Eun! You’ve seen the articles, right? What in the world is going on? Give me an explanation too!

“I’ll call you back once I find out.”

- Once you find out?

It was hard for Chief Jung to accept an answer like that. The news was about herself, but Ra-Eun had spoken as if she would call back after doing some research. She was treating the incident as if it was about someone else. Ra-Eun could not afford to waste time by explaining to Chief Jung in detail.

“I’ll call you back in a bit.”

- What? Wait! Ra-Eun...!

Beep.

Ra-Eun hung up on him since there was something of higher priority than talking to Chief Jung right now.

Yi-Seo, who had been sitting across from Ra-Eun, asked, “Is everything alright? You’re not in big trouble, are you?”

From Yi-Seo’s reaction, it did not seem like she knew that Ra-Eun had been accused of school violence. Ra-Eun decided to let Yi-Seo know what had happened and pulled up the articles on her phone to show Yi-Seo.

Take a look,” Ra-Eun said.

“School violence...? You?”

Yi-Seo doubted her eyes. Unable to believe what she was reading, she reread the article again and again.

“Why would such an article...”

“That’s what I’m trying to confirm.”

“With who?” Yi-Seo asked.

Ra-Eun pointed directly at her. Yi-Seo was bewildered to be designated so suddenly.

“Me?”

“Yeah.”
