Reina's Obsession Returns
Reina sat on her throne-like seat in the cafeteria, sipping
her drink, when she overheard a conversation.
"Did you hear? Yuto actually escaped from Reina's
control!"
"Yeah, I saw him laughing with Kaido and Mei in the
library. I guess Reina isn't as terrifying as we thought."
The words made her blood boil.
Her fingers tightened around the cup, nearly crushing it.
Escaped?
As if she were some kind of cage?
As if Yuto had been the one who left her?
No.
No one leaves Reina.
She set her drink down, standing up.
She was getting her toy back.

The Trap is Set
The next day, Yuto was called to the principal's office.
Confused, he stepped inside—only to find a crying girl
sitting in the chair across from the principal.
Her tear-filled eyes widened in fear when she saw him.
"That's him!" she cried, pointing at Yuto.
Yuto froze.
"What…?"
The principal sighed deeply, looking at Yuto with
disappointment. "Yuto, we received a serious complaint about you."
"I—I don't understand."
The principal leaned forward. "This girl claims you
molested her."
Yuto's heart stopped.
"WHAT?!"
The girl sobbed, shaking. "I-I asked him for notes, and
he told me to follow him. He took me to an empty classroom and—"
She covered her face, crying harder.
"I barely escaped!"
Yuto felt his whole body turn cold.
"I don't even know her name!" he protested.
"I NEVER DID ANYTHING!"
The principal shook his head. "This is serious, Yuto.
Whether intentional or not, this school has a strict policy."
Yuto's voice cracked. "I'M INNOCENT!"
But it didn't matter.
The principal slid a suspension letter across the desk.
"You are suspended immediately."
Yuto's vision blurred.
His hands trembled as he grabbed the letter, the weight of
the accusation crushing him.
And outside the office, hidden just out of view
Reina smirked.
"You should've stayed mine, Yuto.l
Yuto's Walk of Shame
Yuto walked out of the school building, his legs trembling.
Suspended.
For something he didn't do.
Whispers followed him.
"I knew it… He always looked creepy."
"I can't believe he did that to a girl."
"Disgusting."
Yuto clenched his fists. His vision blurred, but not from
tears—from sheer helplessness.
Just then, a strong hand grabbed his arm.
Kaido.
And beside him, Mei.
"Come with us," Kaido said, his voice firm.
"Now."
Yuto let himself be dragged away.

At the Park
Yuto sat on the bench, staring at the ground.
His shoulders shook.
Then, he broke.
"I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING!" Yuto's voice cracked as
he finally let out the words. "WHY WOULD SHE LIE?! I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER
NAME!"
Mei sat beside him, her hands clenched into fists. "We
know, Yuto. We believe you."
Kaido crossed his arms. "The real question is… who put
her up to it?"
Yuto froze. His lips trembled.
"...Reina."
Mei hesitated. "She may be angry, but… would she really
go this far?"
Kaido let out a bitter chuckle. "Mei, you're too
innocent. You don't know Reina like I do. She inherited everything from my
dad—she's a manipulator to her core."
He looked at Yuto. "We have to prove your innocence
before this ruins your future."
Mei nodded. "We'll find something."
Yuto looked at both of them, his chest tight with emotions.
"They still believe in me…"
The Search Begins
The next day, Kaido and Mei searched everywhere for clues.
Kaido tried to talk to students, but no one wanted to
listen.
Mei followed the girl who accused Yuto, watching her from a
distance
Hours passed.
At sunset, the three met again in the park.
Kaido sighed, shaking his head. "I got nothing."
Mei, however, came running.
She was out of breath. "I found something!"
Kaido and Yuto snapped to attention. "What is it?"
Mei pulled out a library register.
"Look! Yuto signed in at 5 PM yesterday. But that girl
was seen at a party with her boyfriend at 5:15."
Kaido's eyes narrowed. "So if she was truly attacked
before Yuto went to the library… why would she go to a party instead of the
principal's office?"
Yuto stared at the proof.
This was it.
Their first step to clearing his name.
