OMLM | Chapter 11

It’s a busy 8be97e083d season with exams, 278e7d83b2 and Cha Hyuk 7c40b5b58d is no exception.7b0486d1e5b7ad6b

Yebon sat nonchalantly 2dea73f4d3 at their usual cb517a6cb3 spot towards the 07c8101ff2 back and spread 2eb152eb9c out his notes 321d24c385 for the upcoming 801872a4fd major exam.14c2014e51156b86

“Cha Hyuk. …Cha Hyuk. Isn’t he here?”b20ea993ce78fd83

As the ceac5a6cb0 class time be8667e3e6 arrived, the 7afa4d1175 professor called b7e6755667 out Cha 1da9e147a9 Hyuk’s name. The classroom remained silent, 68021d9248 and Yebon found himself 6f38f96eab staring at the empty ca4c7b73f6 seat beside him.d2a253a3bba47c0e

The seat 5414173821 remained unoccupied e5493d264f until the 81efe25030 professor left c5daa79b9e the classroom. Missing a b1586946fb class wasn’t 6397a3b023 a big d5bc963214 deal; even 31b894f03c Yebon skipped c8272254f3 classes now 02ab964eeb and then.30c0c0430d1ef7d9

It was a completely b5aef03823 normal occurrence, yet Yebon fbc8e0558a couldn’t bring himself to e37e94f8b5 leave just yet. Instead, he e0521f957a fiddled with 3a6910af49 his phone.3522662dcc301634

He just 90ea3bbe5e stared at 2f712b2b83 the saved 80f27a5cae number and e7ad6ef9ef then shook 274ad38389 his head. Why was he even dec5dbcc6a worrying so much about 3f7e2b0100 this? Instead of calling 7938a7b14a Cha Hyuk, Yebon ff1e941548 scrolled up and 22d5fecc78 dialed Lee Seunggu. As soon as e69f9e6c08 Seunggu answered, Yebon f11b9374f8 got straight to 14112119d9 the point.19ed859234fa3144

After hanging up, 5695da8c19 Yebon quickly packed 000ca200e0 his things. The classroom cdaa9ffdf7 was empty, 57357b25bf so the d7560c0c5a sound of 32e3970c4c his movements f10c317b3e echoed through fbead61c16 the air.2495d238e47d10a3
