When Ivy returned home, she saw that someone had tagged her in a message telling her that her photo had been posted on the
university forum.
Meeting with a foreigner meant nothing, and since they were not doing anything inappropriate, Ivy did not understand why
someone would take a photo of them and post it onto the university forum.
A majority of students were appalled by this action and were all speaking on Ivy's behalf.
When lvy finally opened the group chat, the other students in her major were discussing the picture amongst themselves.
[This is definitely the work of someone in our department, right? | don't think students from other majors would do such a thing!]
[I hate these stalkers! They should go to a psychiatrist if they are going mad! Why would they take a photo of someone having
coffee? Have they not seen coffee or a foreigner in their lives?! Pathetic!]
[I think this stalker is likely one of Ivy's pursuers! He was probably rejected and got jealous when he saw her with a foreigner!]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne of the female students immediately replied. [There has been someone pursuing Ivy lately. | saw it with my own eyes and that
guy is in the smajor as us! He is in this group chat as well!]
Ivy immediately recalled the face of the boy with glasses.
She did not have much of an impression of the boy, neither did remember his name, but his face was clear in her mind.
She had never gotten into conflicts with anyone before, and she had been friendly to everyone she met. There had been boys who
had approached her for her number, but they often quickly gave up after she rejected their advances once or twice. The only
exception was the boy with glasses.
Taking a photo of her without her consent and posting it onto the forum was unacceptable and to prevent it from happening again,
Ivy did not intend to tolerate this.
When the boy saw the message in the group chat, he was forced to respond.
The university forum was an anonymous one so no one knew who posted the photo.
The boy with glassesmented. [You are all referring to me, right? | did try to ask Ivy out, but she didn't say yes. We both let it
go, and we are just classmates now. We don't even have each other's numbers anymore. I've just seen what's on the forum, so
please don't point the blat me. Thank you!]
After seeing the message, Ivy sent a message to the forum as well. [If it's not you, | will reach out to the admin of the forum and
find out who did it. I'm going to find out who is behind those nastyments as well. The admin has access to each and every
account, so even if | can't get your student identification number, | can find your phone number.]
Phone numbers were required to register an account in order to gain access to the forum, and the phone numbers were tied to the
user's name. This meant that Ivy would be able to find the identities of the people who had spread rumors on the forum.
Many students agreed with her course of action, and seven went as far as to provide Ivy with the forum admin's account.
Ivy copied the account number and was about to send a message when she received a friend request from another account.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
She opened it and realized it was the boy with glasses, and he had attached a message along with his friend request. [Please
accept the request! | need to talk to you!] read the message.
She thought about it and accepted the request.
The boy with glasses immediately sent her a message. [I'm sorry! Please don't go to the admin. | will delete that post on the
forum! Please don't tell everyone that | did it.]
[Why?]
[I don't want them to hateafter learning the truth.]
[I'm asking you why would you take that photo of me! You only have your own gain in mind. Have you ever thought of how this
would affect me?]
[You were the one behind the canceling of contracts at my family's factory, right? Is it so wrong forto resent you for it? You
were the one who did something wrong first, did you expectto thank you or something?]
[So has your family's factory closed down yet?]
