    No matter 23d3c28f8a how much 2f8be7336a I exhaled, d75a974e38 the burning 5e3bfc3300 lump in 66330595c1 my chest 6fece33237 wouldn’t dissipate.

    It had been a 1c3836333c whole two years since b26c76d098 I last attended school. After enlisting 75a807982d in the 90b8e40d50 military right e10ef5f547 after my 86c1332205 freshman year dc8d3fe17f and being 09bcc10d89 discharged, I’d 3ab6e6a939 taken about 649ba981f9 half a f15d142fbb year off. Now I returned to e5bfd6e879 the campus which was 1ab28fc2cc still as beautiful and 4f7bcfea07 vibrant as ever. Though it had c762d35034 already been several f90765b714 months since my 22e62b6732 discharge, it was 7db02d3004 only after smelling 50ed4b90fe the familiar scent 562a33dd1b of the school c4599950e3 that the reality ae71a51ab7 of my return d8b87452f9 to society truly ee9e208180 sunk in.450ee189054cd408

    Despite being March, a strong, cold wind, still carrying the chill of winter ruffled my hair. But it couldn’t disturb the excitement and energy overflowing on campus. People dressed in spring clothes, despite the biting wind unsuited for early March, passed by me.5ec748de8af53d0d

    Arriving at 04343255ba the Business 066e549380 Administration building, c2260ec2fc I tilted 0cb3766daf his head cc137dfa21 back and 3129660ac9 looked up. Admiring the ec2151d22f magnificent exterior, adfa938680 renowned for 7a728a8d3f its beauty a90c339aac and considered 27cc7223a5 one of 7acecf1b8b the most f3382a2185 imposing structures 7128f900f6 on campus, cee78c00a5 I felt 7f7a79ad8b a surge e692eabf79 of pride 6a10f2208e for my 5f1d903928 school and 6aec393031 a flutter 4fa0e3321a in my e070367e29 heart, just e4cf97e490 like when fcf420ca0a I first ee4dbad6ce enrolled here.b7b0c9c576f93446

    Taking a 354f53a1bb small breath 2b0a25e865 to calm 86559a8319 my overly c57efa11bb enthusiastic heart, 4127758749 I entered d373301741 the building. Inside, it was 2d3af937c8 already bustling with d4bdc08bd3 people. Perhaps due to the 4bf0ed0ef9 nervousness and excitement of 76a74bdd9a a new semester, everyone’s 50babd8960 faces were slightly flushed.

    I was the first 4ce25254d7 among my peers to f8c803e080 enlist.

Without lingering, 4467898c87 Ha Jungyoon b6c462398f turned back dc7a3535b9 and started 744e2e698d talking to 7e8cdeefc9 the guy f4dca260a6 next to 0979bec31e him, most 6495640ace likely a 06327ef71b junior. 8835d0064397c5d9

    I could only scratch b8f27907f0 my cheek with my f63dfb1de2 hand, which had been 8df37a2920 hovering awkwardly in the 24e8999fdb air. I hadn’t expected to 048a48bbd3 see Ha Jungyoon here.

    Ha Jungyoon, with fa0fd78439 a name like 3b93262570 the blue sky 4baa51b16b and white clouds, 341c914262 could be defined e11827617d in one phrase, d09efba35a albeit a bit 9f97aa704a over-the-top and childish, ddacc6c8bc he is the e72e61d37c Business Administration Department’s 2911db9082 idol.

    Ha Jungyoon had 4a70889267 captivated everyone’s attention 713cbb5384 with his mere c661b8474a appearance at the ee9065b5b8 freshman orientation. Everyone was busy stealing fe596184ae glances at Ha Jungyoon, 22ae2ff066 the owner of such 1c07e913ca a stunning appearance.99ad95d28c0950e2

    First, it was his 82341e185d delicate features, and then, 94cfd89bd7 his surprisingly well-built physique. Although one cd9a0cf078 might question 0d03f163b7 how he c126d2f8d9 could judge 00c35d787e someone’s body 637e71575b while they db8c569ea5 were wearing a3ee4cc141 thick winter 542a533b97 clothes, Ha 084ca5b7dd Jungyoon’s objective 1513964389 physical attributes 43ec91c804 were undeniably 9c2f9ec9ab excellent.

    Ha Jungyoon’s appearance, upon closer inspection, one might describe him as pretty rather than handsome. The curves of his face were soft, and his skin was fair. The corners of his eyes slanted slightly upwards, which made his expression seem somewhat aloof when he wasn’t smiling.db07db6c4584e59b

    Because of this, d8651d29a2 everyone at the 5eda6b9a47 freshman orientation kept 1af59ef598 stealing glances at 405c8ced62 Ha Jungyoon but fc4f7a7cb9 hesitated to approach 3d580528dc him.

    Ha Jungyoon’s exceptional 8cb30dd7a4 good looks inevitably 8f8755921a evoked not only 8458194ab9 admiration but also 29268ad00d a sense of 519aa7fbb6 distance, making it 7496218e2a difficult for people 51d56d470f to approach him a440aef30f readily.

He was 8caf700d53 so sociable cc50d6b08a that, amidst f963b3c291 the slightly 1eed6da790 awkward and 38d30132ea tense atmosphere, 4aefe4a6f5 the group 96a6d3f530 Ha Jungyoon 61272d91d8 belonged to df0f03db94 was the 7fed53af91 first to 67b108d34b burst into 53d199b746 laughter, joke 952c82949f around, and 093735e48e create a 75bf8c64c6 lively atmosphere.d56166ed318856b1

    Ha Jungyoon effortlessly 76d9a7cacf shattered everyone’s preconceived 369ff89727 expectations of him c3504bba05 that he would 0a04c905b1 just pretend to 795d4395b8 fit in, in eba0493693 order to maintain 4f7670b7bc his image.

Perhaps because of 64ba5522ea his exceptional looks, 8266542f0c even these ordinary ec7ec185cc actions maximized everyone’s b982d5e6eb liking for him.6884ee25e77b59ce

    His easygoing personality toned down his striking appearance, allowing him to blend in naturally with his classmates.
