Player #1: Oh my God! I never thought that there would be such a shocking gossip during a game update! Who is this Sweet Dream? Is she pretty? Has any of her photos been exposed?
Player #2: Geez... How could this happen? How could a Lv.40 Little Prophet step in between a master couple?! How could she dare take Legendary Past's man? I actually admire her courage! After all, everybody knows that Legendary Past is the most violent female gamer in the whole server. By the way, I doubt if Legendary Past is a woman. Word says he's actually a dude.
Player #3: Sweet Dream is nothing but a bitch. Hmph! She tried so hard to seduce my brother-in-law. Now that she knows that my brother-in-law only loves my elder sister, she has begun to seduce Silent Sorrow, the legendary player.
Player #4: ...
...
Player #222: Sorrow had personally said that he likes another person. If you are so jealous of Sweet Dream, why don't you try and seduce a legendary player yourself? Then maybe Sorrow will like you too.
Haha.
Player #1001: I'd like to say something to #222. Are you Sweet Dream's double account? Can't you see that all the posts here are against her? Why do you think I am the only one trash talking her?

The post had attracted a lot of players and many commented in lightening speeds. In the beginning, everybody was just curious about the situation and labeled Sweet Dream as a bitch. Later, more and more people expressed different opinions. In addition to that, some players who got along well with Legendary Past and Silent Sorrow tried to justify Sweet Dream every now and then. As a result, eventually the discussion turned into a fierce battle of tongue. The post had become particularly hot because Silent Sorrow and Legendary Past were involved in the discussion.
Everybody who played 'Dragon' knew the famous server district 'Dragon Yelling To The Sky'. And the players knew that Legendary Past had been number one in every list despite being a female player, and her record had not been broken till date. And Silent Sorrow, who was listed at the third place at all times, spoiled Legendary Past so much. However, Sweet Dream, whose account was hardly known, appeared out of nowhere and tried to steal Silent Sorrow's heart from Legendary Past. And the end result of that, was this heated discussion on the forum. Some people were angry, some tried to dig secrets about the new account, while others were just plain curious. All kinds of people and opinions flooded the comments section. Drunk Wind and At The First Sight, who had been the hot topic earlier, seemed rather insignificant now.
As the center of the debate, however, Elsa was a person who never browsed the forum. So she had no idea that some players were suggesting to cyber-manhunt her. After eating her food, she figured that the game update wouldn't be done for another half an hour. Since she had nothing else to do, she began thinking about how to repay the money to Charlie.
Finally, she decided to give him the money right away. With the cash in her hand, she stood under the tree in front of the double accommodation dormitory building for boys. She looked at the dormitory building once in a while. Hesitant, she couldn't make up her mind to go meet Charlie.
Pursing her lips into a straight line, she took a glimpse at the banknotes in her hand, which were the newest ones she could find in her wallet. She left behind any crumpled notes, because she thought it might disgust a clean person like Charlie.
"Gosh! What should I do? I can't just walk up to him."
"Go on! You will never get to tell him your feelings if you hide like this. Maybe Charlie likes you too!"
She heard a hushed conversation a little farther away from where she was standing. Blinking, Elsa looked to the direction of the voices. Two girls were talking excitedly, with expectation and hesitation on their faces. They both had powder blue envelopes in their hands.
"I'm worried that he would throw my letter away without even opening it."
"Look! Charlie is coming back!"
