The situation flowed in an unexpected direction once again. An exposé post went up claiming that Bae Sinhyo was a school violence perpetrator.
He hung out with delinquents in middle school and enjoyed hierarchy games, alcohol and cigarettes were the basics, he didn’t hesitate to extort money and commit assault, his relationships with girls were complicated, and so on and so forth……
“What a novel they’ve written.”
Pyeonghwa let out a hollow laugh. Bae Sinhyo’s middle school friends were indeed delinquent, but they only hung out together during lunch at most.
Bae Sinhyo was a game friend who slept through all class time and then rushed to the PC room when school ended. He’d never put alcohol to his lips, and had even vomited once saying the PC room cigarette smoke was disgusting.
Money extortion and assault were even more absurd. Bae Sinhyo was the son of a wealthy family so he had a lot of money, and when a situation came where he had to fight someone, he was a coward who would break out in cold sweat.
And if his relationships with girls had been complicated, then he himself, who stuck with him for over 3 years, would have naturally taken an interest in the opposite sex too. Pyeonghwa was confident that like himself, Bae Sinhyo had never even held a girl’s hand.
Pyeonghwa thought the false rumors would die down quickly. But the situation worsened as classmates appeared one by one and began to vent about how vicious Bae Sinhyo’s group had been.
Since their exposé posts said the delinquents strutted around centered on Bae Sinhyo, people couldn’t help but think of Bae Sinhyo as the ringleader of school violence.
Bae Sinhyo posted on SNS saying it was unfair and he would sue for spreading false information, but not a single person believed him. Mocking comments followed telling him to at least follow proper spelling.
[Genius rookie’s fall… Bae Sinhyo, activities suspended due to consecutive controversies]
[Bae Sinhyo activity suspension decision… Golden Ball “It’s not expulsion”]
[Korea e-Sports Association, school violence perpetrator player qualification suspended… Boycott movement atmosphere]
Two months after his pro league debut, all of Bae Sinhyo’s activities were suspended. A petition to expel Bae Sinhyo went up on the internet, and in just a few days it easily surpassed 100,000 petitioners.
As the fact that Bae Sinhyo’s family was the famous Hunter guild ‘Red Night’ was revealed, claims that Golden Ball and the Korea e-Sports Association had received bribes also gained strength.
“Ha… haha, uhahaha……!”
A deflated laugh flowed from Pyeonghwa’s mouth. Now he too would have clearly learned how painful it is to be framed with absurd false accusations.
He should be delighted seeing Bae Sinhyo properly hit by the boomerang…… but strangely his mood kept sinking.
[(Golden Ball/Bae Sinhyo) He dropped out of gaming high school and left for overseas haha
Author: GodGameChampion
Maybe he judged he couldn’t live in Korea because his appearance stands out too much
I heard his parents forcibly put him on a plane but don’t know which country haha
He should have lived nicely…^^;; Young punk~ Tsk!! haha]
└[beebee: Isn’t he running to an overseas league?]
└[BaeSinhyoOut: A guy who can’t even write Korean properly could do a foreign language lol]
└[RaonMania: How did he live that there’s not even one friend to shield him…]
└[Striped Cat Talk: If Golden Ball bastards’ form hadn’t dropped it wouldn’t have been activity suspension, they just would’ve taken him with them tsk tsk]
└[GoldenBallExplain: Wow Pax hyung-nim how far did you see ahead]
└[esckey: Shout out god Pax~~~~~~~~~]
└[404NotPax: The school violence has nothing to do with me though]
└[LuckGamer: Pax is here]
└[esckey: Pax himself appeared shivering]
└[WhateverBall: Fuck are you satisfied now that you ruined Golden Ball???]
└[404NotPax: Seems too overheated]
└[WhateverBall: You made it like this you fucking bastard crying]
Pyeonghwa spent several days and nights clutching his head and groaning. He’d feel happy like ten years of indigestion was going down, but then felt it was too excessive a measure that he was cursed by the entire nation and couldn’t even set foot in Korea. But then again, he didn’t want to see Bae Sinhyo rising as a pro gamer either.
‘……I don’t care what happens to Bae Sinhyo, but since Golden Ball and the association are getting cursed because of this false rumor, for the public interest……’
Pyeonghwa rationalized hard as he input someone’s number into his phone. A guidance message said the power was off and it was connecting to voicemail. This time he tried calling with just the last digit changed.
“Hello. I’m Kim Subin’s friend Noh Pyeonghwa. Kim Subin’s phone is turned off.”
—Oh my, it’s Pyeonghwa. Long time no see. Our Subin went to a gifted school. From second year they’re completely cut off from the outside during the semester. He left his phone at home too.
“I didn’t know since I’m contacting him after so long. Then I can’t call Kim Subin? It’s kind of urgent right now.”
—What should I do? He can only come out during vacation. As long as it doesn’t interfere with studying, I can pass on a message through the dorm supervisor teacher.
“Just tell him I contacted him.”
—Mm…… Auntie is doing this because it’s you, Pyeonghwa. You know? Playing around comes after going to college?
Two days later, Kim Subin snuck out of the dormitory and contacted Pyeonghwa by borrowing the PC room part-timer’s phone. The two moved to gaming messenger voice chat and continued their conversation.
Kim Subin, who had been cut off from the outside at boarding school, couldn’t hide his bewilderment upon hearing about Bae Sinhyo’s situation.
—No, wait, Pyeonghwa. I don’t really understand right now… What the hell happened? Sinhyo and school violence?
“Yeah, that’s how it turned out.”
—Ah…… Did you do this, Pyeonghwa?
“That wasn’t me! Ha, shit…… I tried to think of it as karma, but I’m a bit bothered……! But I don’t want to step forward, and even if I step forward I don’t think the situation will improve……”
—Calm down. I’ll contact our elementary school classmates and try to explain. There are a lot of kids who went to the same middle school as Sinhyo, so don’t worry.
“……Thanks, Kim Subin. That, the fact that I asked you… don’t tell anyone. Especially never to Bae Sinhyo……”
—Got it. Are you okay now?
“……”
—I have a tablet for online lectures at school, you know? I’ll secretly install the gaming messenger app on it so if you’re having a hard time, talk to me……
He felt like tears would burst out at Kim Subin’s kind question, so he couldn’t answer. Pyeonghwa cut off his words and ended the voice chat. Then he completely deleted his gaming messenger account.
“So annoying……”
Pyeonghwa lay face down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket up to his head, and muttered.
Why was he so pathetic? He wanted to disappear from this world without a trace.

Kim Subin explained the Bae Sinhyo school violence controversy and boldly revealed his name, face, and even the school he currently attended.
The claims of a former student council president honor student from a gifted school poured cold water on the overheated public opinion, but with just one person’s opinion, they couldn’t reverse the current situation that had gone wrong as far as it could go.
Just when a second round was about to break out with both sides’ opinions sharply confronting each other, classmates posting explanations gradually increased. Some of them, like Kim Subin, also revealed their personal information.
[I’m BSH’s elementary/middle school classmate and was in the same class for all 3 years of middle school
Author: Anonymous1
(Photo) (Photo) I’ll just reveal my personal info and write since I’m not in Korea anyway so I don’t care if I get cursed
Everything in the elementary school class president post is right. BSH didn’t particularly harm me but I avoided him because he just looked like a scary adult
In middle school we were in the same class for 3 years straight (Photo) This is proof
In the first place BSH wasn’t a kid who attended school diligently enough to bully anyone
He asked the homeroom teacher to excuse him from closing class saying he was preparing to be a pro gamer so he always left early alone
As soon as he came to school he’d lie down and just sleep and barely talked (But if you talked about games he’d get up and look at you so it was scary lol)
It’s true he ate lunch with delinquents but after eating when they smoked behind the gym he’d come to the classroom and sleep again
I bet my life I’ve never seen or heard of BSH bullying anyone in 9 years
Rather losers like me probably preferred having BSH in class lol The delinquents read the room so they didn’t act up in class lol
I don’t know what grudge the first person who wrote has, but I’m saying most of it isn’t true!!]
└[Anonymous2: So it’s true he hung out with delinquents? lol Even if not a perpetrator, about a bystander, is that it? lol]
└[Anonymous1(Author): Well you could see it that way. But how does an ordinary middle schooler become friends with BSH in the first place? He’s even scarier in person]
└[Anonymous3: Why didn’t you appear when the petition went up and stuff, why are you only explaining now? Did Red Night guild spread part-timers? lol]
└[Anonymous1(Author): There weren’t any kids at school close enough with him to explain… lol Probably not even close with the delinquents?? lol]
└[Anonymous3: How do you know he wasn’t close with the delinquents? lol]
└[Anonymous1(Author): Whenever BSH wasn’t in the classroom the delinquents talked shit about him loudly, how could I not know…]
└[Anonymous1(Author): Anyway I’m not close with BSH at all and I only wrote what I saw directly. I’ll stop meddling here!]
└[Anonymous4: What? Gradually it doesn’t seem like school violence]
└[Anonymous5: If you look at reviews of Bae Sinhyo in person, most reactions say he’s big and scary. If he was like that in elementary/middle school, it makes sense he’d have no friends]
