Caught the Stalker
The reason stalkers stalk starts from liking the target, but when the target rejects them or when the admirer can't approach the target, the liking turns into obsession. Obsession will trap one in the desire to possess the target they've liked, and without realizing their mistake, they will continue to follow or complete the stalking by making their presence known like what happened to me. It's literally acting without thinking about the victim at all, only for their own purpose. What happened to me now is secretly taking photos of my appearance. So, when the stalker takes my photo, how can I know when they're taking it? Honestly, it was difficult to pinpoint the exact time. While I could identify the location from the photos the stalker sent, it was impossible to specify the time. If I could specify the time as well, it would have been perfect. At least, from the bright background in the photos, I knew it wasn't evening when it gets dark, but morning or afternoon. The problem was not knowing the exact time slot. So, I spent a lot of time thinking how to catch the guy. The location was identified, so waiting in ambush until the stalker appears to take photos is one way, but it would take too long. Not only that, while I'm trying to lure the stalker by walking around the school with Hyeji, the longer this drags on, the more damage it does to Hyeji because of me, so I couldn't afford to prolong it. So, what would be a quick way to catch the stalker? By catching them in the act of taking my photo as a current crime, but how? After much deliberation, one thought popped into my head. I had been worrying about when the stalker would take my photo, but I didn't need to worry about that at all! Instead of waiting, if I create a situation where the stalker has no choice but to take my photo, then the guy will have no choice but to act to take my photo, and with my prepared collaborators ready to pounce, we can catch the stalker. So, how to create a situation where the stalker has no choice but to take my photo? It wasn't that difficult. Maybe it's a thought possible because I'm a man from a world other than the gender-reversed one. If I told the men in this world, they might report it as sexual harassment instead of getting angry. The method I came up with was to use my body to create a slight exposure. Since this world has more interest in men's bodies than women's, my body would also attract women, especially the stalker who couldn't take their eyes off me. Moreover, since the stalker only took my photos inside the school, seeing my bare skin would be almost impossible. But suddenly I expose my bare skin? Can the stalker really ignore that? There's no way. So, I entered the corner where hardly anyone passes by, visible from the classroom window where the stalker would come out. Before coming here, I had scouted the inside of the engineering building as if advertising that I was coming here. I was luring the stalker to take my photo, but I couldn't be sure if they were watching me. For now, I'll try the strategy and if no reaction, I'll try again after a short break. I think the stalker has no choice but to take my photo somehow. Shall I start? It's still March, so it's a bit chilly, but for the operation, I have to endure it. I took off the jacket I was wearing and put it aside, then took off one more top, leaving only the white sleeveless t-shirt I had underneath. Ugh... wearing just a sleeveless t-shirt is too cold. But I can't stop here, right? I stretched my body while wearing the sleeveless t-shirt, moving it this way and that. Because I deliberately brought a sleeveless t-shirt that fits perfectly, it clings to my body, revealing the lines as is. I wonder if it would look good to the women in this world. Since I haven't been discharged from the military for long, I was maintaining a decent physique, and I thought it was good. Anyway, in this situation, from the original world's perspective, it's like a woman stretching in just a bra in a place where people don't pass by? Honestly, to make it sure, I would have to take off the sleeveless t-shirt too, but no matter how different my values are from this world, I don't want to go that far. Being naked on the upper body is embarrassing for me too! So, be satisfied with the clinging sleeveless t-shirt, stalker! Eat the bait quickly while looking at this. To forget the cold as much as possible, I moved my body around and checked towards the classroom window. Hasn't it appeared yet? Besides me, Hyeji is hiding somewhere else, watching towards the classroom, and if the stalker appears, she'll contact Seoyeon, so I have to wait a little longer...
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the classroom window, taking out something that looked like a camera towards the outside. It's facing my direction. Has it finally appeared! If it's visible from my position, it would be visible to Hyeji's eyes too. Then Seoyeon, waiting inside the engineering building, would have already run towards the classroom. If I miss here, maybe I'll never catch the stalker's tail. So, I hope we catch it...
Huh? While pretending not to notice the camera lens pointing at me and watching, suddenly it was seen entering inside the window. Has Seoyen arrived at that classroom?
I hurriedly put on the clothes I took off and ran into the engineering building, leaping into the classroom where the stalker was. I was curious about the stalker's face. I quickly climbed to the third floor and kicked open the classroom door and entered.
"Don't move! Stay still!"
"T, this can't be taken off!?"
There, Seoyeon, who had arrived first, was tangled with the person suspected to be the stalker, rolling on the floor.
"Senior! It looks like this person! First, we have the camera!"
While Seoyeon was fighting with the stalker, Hyeji welcomed me as I entered the classroom. In Hyeji's hand was the camera I had seen outside earlier.
"Did you report to the police? If not, can you report it?"
"Yes, Minho senior!"
Hyeji, hearing my words, quickly took out her phone and started calling the police.
Leaving Hyeji, I walked slowly towards the two people fighting, wanting to see the stalker's face.
"Eh... who are you?"
"M, Minho! It's this person! This person was taking photos of you!"
What is this? The person tangled with Seoyeon and fighting on the floor right now is... Professor Jeon Jihwa.
Why did this person suddenly pop out?
"Ah, no! Minho student, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"What misunderstanding! I was diligently taking photos of Minho outside!"
The person who was stalking me... is Professor Jeon Jihwa. I really can't believe it.
But since the camera I saw earlier in this classroom is all related to the stalker, this is no different from catching them in the act.
Is this how it ends?
I took the camera from Hyeji and checked the photos inside.
"Ah, no! Don't look!!"
When I tried to check inside the camera, Professor Jeon Jihwa shouted with a sharp voice. Her reaction made me want to look even more.
Looking at the album stored in the camera... ah, I missed this.
The camera had the scene of me stretching in just the sleeveless t-shirt captured as is. Moreover, going back to past photos, there were also the same ones as the photos I uploaded to Everytime.
What is this professor doing... unbelievable, unbelievable.
People gathered outside due to the noisy sound and started watching us, and before long, the police who had been reported by Hyeji arrived here.
It was effective that I had given them prior notice, arriving very quickly.
Behind Professor Jeon Jihwa screaming that she's wronged and being dragged away by the police, it turns out that Professor Jeon Jihwa was secretly approaching me because she liked me in this world.
But I rejected the professor coming, and angry, the professor secretly took photos of my appearance walking around the school.
In addition, she spread rumors among classmates that I am a person who doesn't even talk to men or women, isolating me.
When the police who broke into Professor Jeon Jihwa's house showed the photos of my appearance stuck on the wall, it gave me chills.
At least because of the title of professor, she couldn't go out of the school for long and chase me in this world.
After that, I couldn't see Professor Jeon Jihwa's appearance on campus.
No, of course I couldn't.
Now, for a while, I can go to school without worry?
