The day after he was threatened by the mysterious girl, Pyungjae is summoned by several senior boys at school. First, Baek Dukhoo, the computing division head at school calls and asks Pyungjae about his relationship with Sya. Dukhoo informs him that the mysterious girl from the previous night was Sya. After Dukhoo, the student president, soccer team captain, and judo captain call him one after another. On the same day, on his way home from school, Sya approaches him and threatens him again not to talk about her to anyone. The next day, Pyungjae is summoned again by Dukhoo, who has been stalking Pyungjae and Sya by hacking into CCTVs. The other senior boys also call him again.
