[Underwear thief and molester… It’s all caused by ××-kun from the ○th grade △ class (lol). There are even photos as decisive evidence!!]

One day, out of nowhere, a message along with photos claiming that I was the culprit behind such acts was sent to the class group chat.

I didn’t recognize any of it; it was all a lie, and the photos were fake.

But who would do such a horrible thing…

The next day, when I went to school, I was met with cold, disdainful gazes from the entire class.

Among them, Yasena Asami, my girlfriend from the same class, directed an even more intense look of contempt towards me.

“…You’re the worst.”

“I-I didn’t do it! Please believe me, Yasena!”

“Don’t come near me!”

My desperate pleas were instantly dismissed by Yasena.

“I despise you… Being your girlfriend is nothing but a source of shame. From now on, never have anything to do with me again.”

“W-Wait…”

<On the Rooftop>

No matter how desperately I plead that I’m innocent, no one believes me.

Since that chat incident, I’ve been bullied at school, both mentally and physically. I’m completely broken.

…I’ve reached my limit.

“What are you doing?”

Just as I had made up my mind to jump off, I heard a voice from behind. When I turned around, it was Midori Takaki-san from the neighboring class.

Takaki-san is more beautiful than the models on TV and is a famous person at school.

“It’s dangerous being in a place like this.”

“…Just leave me alone. It’s impossible for me anymore.”

“Hmm.”

Takaki-san gave a casual reply and walked towards me.

“Let me see… There we go…”

Takaki-san sat next to me, as if preparing to jump off with me.

“Waa, it’s quite high up here.”

Takaki-san giggled, tapping her feet.

“…”

“I’ll listen to your story, okay?”

Saying that, Takaki-san smiled. Looking at her face, although I had barely met her, I somehow felt like it would be okay to talk to her.

…Maybe I just wanted someone to listen to me.

“I… I haven’t done anything. But no one believes me, and they accuse me of being a molester… treating me like a criminal. They poured water on me, hit me, and even Yasena, who used to be my girlfriend, has hit me numerous times… I’m exhausted.”

“I see…”

Takaki-san listened to my story without showing any signs of discomfort.

“…It’s tough, isn’t it?”

“…”

“Even though you haven’t done anything, everyone treats you like a criminal. No one believes you. On top of that, you’re being bullied.”

“…I bet you think the same way, Takaki-san.”

“No, I don’t think that way.”

“…You’re lying.”

“Well, because you haven’t done anything, right?”

“…”

“Then I’ll believe you.”

“…Why?”

“Because if the person I like says he hasn’t done anything. There’s no reason for me not to believe you.”

“…Eh? L-like… eh?”

“Everyone might not believe you, but I’ll be the one who does. So… don’t say things like dying.”

Saying that, Takaki-san gently took hold of my hand.

Weeks after being saved by Takaki-san on the rooftop, my innocence was proven, and the bullying stopped. My life returned to its previous normal state.

Takaki-san seemed to have done various things for me, and I couldn’t thank her enough.

“Uhm…?”

“…”

Yasena approached and tried to talk to me, but I ignored her.

“I-I’m sorry… I… I wanted to apologize.”

I continued walking, but Yasena followed.

“P-Please wait, I beg you!”

Continuing to walk without paying attention, Yasena cut in front of me.

“I couldn’t believe in you…”

“…You just don’t want to have anything to do with me anymore, right?”

“That, that’s not… W-Wait, I’m truly sorry!”

Yasena lowered her head. Without even glancing at her, I passed by her.

“W-Wait, please listen to me!”

“I don’t want to talk. Just go and be happy with your new boyfriend.”

“S-Stop… Don’t say that. P-Please.”

<Another Day>

“Ah…”

As I was heading home, Yasena was waiting for me along the way. Lately, she’s been ambushing me like this every day.

I pretended not to notice and tried to ignore her, but she started walking beside me.

“U-uhm… I-I broke up with him.”

I didn’t ask, but Yasena began to speak.

“That person… He was a terrible person who spread false accusations about you. I, without knowing that, got involved with him…”

It seems that Yasena had been dating the central figure in our class since the chat incident. I heard they were getting along well until recently, but I guess she broke up… Well, it doesn’t really concern me.

“B-but, I want you to know that I never did anything like that with him, so you can rest assured. He always tried to force me into things like kissing, which I hated.”

“…”

“Ah…”

<Another Day>

“I-I heard you wanted this, right? I asked someone to find it because I wanted to see you happy.”

Today, Yasena was waiting for me again on the way home.

“A-And this too… These are tickets to the concert of the musician you and I both like. I asked my father to arrange VIP seats for us!”

Yasena took out two tickets from her bag.

“O-Of course, I don’t expect this to make everything okay, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. B-But, just once, would you go on a date with me again?”

“…”

Lately, I’ve been receiving numerous apology messages from Yasena on my phone day and night.

…To be honest, it’s really annoying. I’m thinking of blocking her once I get home.

“…”

“Ugh…”

---

<Another Day>

“……!?”

“Hehe… S-Sorry.”

I had plans to go shopping with Takaki-san, so when I left my house, Yasena was standing in front of it.

“……..”

“Wait, please!? I want to apologize to you… P-Please, listen to me.”

I tried to pass by Yasena, but she forcefully blocked my way.

“Just leave me alone. Seriously.”

“I-I’m really sorry. W-What can I do… I mean, what can I do to make you forgive me?”

“It’s not about forgiving… Just leave me alone, okay?”

“But… I don’t want that. I want to be your girlfriend again…”

“……..”

“I-I’ll do anything! If it makes you feel better, you can hit me, or use me as an outlet for your desires. If you ask my father, he’ll give you lots of money. S-So, please…”

“That’s impossible, obviously.”

“Eh…”

“I can’t be your boyfriend again, Yasena. Because you didn’t believe me. After that, I was bullied at school… I even thought about ending my life.”

“I-I didn’t mean to push you that far…”

“…I thought you would believe me, Yasena.”

“Ahh… I-I’m so sorry. I-I can’t believe I… I’m sorry.”

Yasena continued to apologize while shedding tears.

“I-I will never doubt you again! I’ll believe you no matter what! Please, give me another chance!”

Yasena bowed deeply, again and again.

…It’s too late to hear those words now.

“…Sorry. I’m dating Takaki-san now.”

“Eh? T-Takaki-san… Why?”

“At that time, Takaki-san was the only one who believed in me. No one else did, but Takaki-san took my hand. She kept telling me that everything would be okay.”

I’m here right now because of Takaki-san.

“…I beg you, never have any contact with me again.”

“N-No way… It’s not true, right?”

“Goodbye… I have to go now.”

“Y-you have to go… are you going to meet her now? N-No… I don’t want that, absolutely not! Please, don’t go! Please!”

“…”

“W-Why… Why… Why couldn’t I believe in him?”

“…It’s my fault. If I don’t pay him back for the rest of my life, it’s useless.”

The End.
