@macroblitz Do give us a real example of how to solve this rumor without requiring concrete proof. Actual crime can be solved with an auto expel but this is petty enough for Yuri to get away in terms of official punishment. Considering the type of academic private school these kids go to, teachers won’t ever do shit.
Considering Yuri is rich enough to have a bodyguard to borrow a phone from, what do you think they should do to counter that? She went as far as to get Baek Yeomin involved. She has also established herself as Yeoryeong’s friend. Like Jiho pointed out, if Yeoryeong doesn’t want to be treated like an ungrateful person, they need concrete proof to prove Dan-i’s innocence. Their words do not matter as Dan-i is already deemed guilty before proven otherwise. They need to pull strings regardless.
I said this somewhere else but the whole arc is pretty realistic in terms of escalation. I’ve seen a girl from my high school got framed for something she didn’t do and no matter how much her friends backed her up, she still got dragged through hell regardless for the past 5-6 years even after she graduated university. The worst bit is that the “victim” already passed away so even they couldn’t tell their truth. She got the police involved and ended up being dogpiled even more for having the money to do so.
