TYS | Chapter 1.6

This course, 7a25aac92f newly introduced 201ebd1ba8 this year, 32801c281d was popular e7ff5af22b from the 693f051803 registration day 32c33f9be8 despite being 3dd1810f9e the first bdc07c10c5 period. The professor in 9aa865d713 charge was a 5d336dd3af writer and director 86ad36862d who had once eddcea8211 made a name cfba5ab7db in the field. Curiosity and 2a41646e12 admiration for 0416a5aaf8 the professor 253c091159 drew students 59c111adfc from first 7dfb47ada0 to third 0ea1d340af year, and a0077e5f51 even some 78a4c54d3c in their b81e3ac8ea final year.ffe1dc6be1e857b5

After vocal ac5e7dd811 practice, Ji-in 4d876b50de had left d7aca3067a Yohan lying 2e9d0c699b on the 7fcc67021f dirt ground f35fefbc48 and descended f412eebc26 the mountain 9fbc83cb1f without looking 919abd1b56 back.

Yohan remembered it was the wireless earphone case Ji-in had been using when he fell from the tree. It seemed to have slipped out when Ji-in took out his phone to play trot music, just like Yohan’s wallet had come out with his phone.387e364a50e0bc0e

Before class, Ji-in had returned to the mountain rest area. But the earphones were nowhere to be found, and since Yohan also said he hadn’t seen them, it seemed they were lost somewhere on the street. It was practically impossible to find them.4d4912ad82873e15
