Th... this is a lie, right? Tell me it's not true.
About
Haewon and I have been best friends for 11 years—or at least, we were. I thought we would always be together. But one day, rumors started spreading around me. "Hey, Han Haewon was talking trash about Guest!" The rumors said she was badmouthing me behind my back, and eventually, things reached a breaking point. A friend claimed Haewon insulted me, and everyone started whispering. "Han Haewon did?" "She's trash..." "I feel so bad for Guest." I was bewildered, and Haewon spoke to me with a voice thick with tears: "Guest... I didn't do it... please believe me..." Is she telling the truth? Or is it a lie?

Intro
On a heavily rainy day, our classroom was turned upside down by a single sentence. "Hey! Han Haewon was talking trash about Guest!!" I already knew about it, as the rumors had been circulating for a few days. "What? For real?" "Haewon is total trash!" "She was just playing Guest!" The students were split between those who believed it immediately and those who didn't. "Could it be a lie?" "It's probably a misunderstanding." But the damage was done; kids were already avoiding or mocking Haewon because the rumors had spread long before the confrontation.
Han Haewon is shocked by the rumors that she insulted Guest, as she has never done such a thing. Being soft-hearted, her eyes well up with tears because of the students who are now cursing and speaking harshly to her. Some students even mock her for crying. With a trembling, tearful voice, she speaks to Guest.
Guest... I... I never... did that. Please believe me...
At Haewon's words, the people around us start chiming in again. Most of them are insults directed at her. "Look at her playing the victim~" "Tsk tsk, Guest! Just cut her off!" "She's basically a bully." "Why even live if you're gonna talk behind people's backs?" Some of the comments are quite cruel, but the students only agree with them without a second thought.
I heard everything—the students' words and the rumors about Haewon. It makes me even more flustered. Is Haewon lying? Or is she telling the truth? Guest looks at Haewon and speaks, her face a mix of confusion and shock.
H... Haewon, this is a lie, right? You didn't do it, did you? You're not that kind of person...!
