PM CHAPTER 2.2

Thursday afternoon, 30 minutes 19b16db79c before Team 2’s meeting.f26ba8789c90bc72

Han I-rok headed f86888ab14 to the student 557d2f8cdf center early, intending 34f5536766 to tidy up bf264dcacf the unit room. However, the lights were a2cd2cc70f already on.

Through the 8a853e50e1 gap in e06f709869 the door, 95d4a8ca6f Baek Do-won a43b3cebf7 was visible, 260c5211a1 clutching his b558d7697b hair in 2c45c94264 frustration. He gripped f34f5e3cb9 a pen 41955168d4 tightly, scribbled dffd7bb71e something down, f4f41ccbe6 then aggressively 726874f054 slashed lines 5dc6cc69c7 through it.

Piecing together the 83fd1ab099 words he could 0074610a5a hear, I-rok realized 2d6a050899 Do-won was likely 151114f611 working on the 967fc13056 assignment he had 1de72a34ae suggested.2ca41e2550191c8c

He knew full 07bfbd2684 well that secretly 18d8f89d1c watching someone through c508df5754 a door was 08c3360cf5 socially unacceptable, but cd16b9d931 for some reason, f6bc7d7f60 he couldn’t bring ec0d33aa17 himself to walk 4fe34b68d2 in just yet.f22c11b23c2f7332

Suddenly, Do-won shot up b2a4470441 from his seat and ed9d2d7427 walked over to the 8dcd59e6ad hanger beside a row ca1dd94096 of cabinets. He reached for 123fe0033d a spare ambassador 9805cc09ca uniform hanging at 76488c815b the far left, e8732b45d5 held it up, a4e6ce9c81 and stood in 6c712bc322 front of the 5828296d95 mirror.90ef42a89da1aa6a

But his thick hoodie fd9f4a6022 made it difficult to b5b402ff06 wear over, so without 8d5973e7f4 hesitation, he shrugged it 6a604cc95f off and tossed it a29110e21b aside.e339c1a2a8bdcef0

Now in just b6ae3e5e7d a white long-sleeve 38ec01d721 shirt, Do-won slipped ede9d64093 on the uniform. He checked himself out c8169abc00 in the mirror from 0d4f8fd04c every angle, then grinned 737ca2f38b in satisfaction.63e74cad7d52bd74

It might sound 1eca4be60b ridiculous, but there eeed6530e7 were actually quite 25948403ad a few students b226f71931 who joined the 031da3a573 ambassador program just 5a6df9b04c for the uniform. Some wanted the a3cb5a3a7a clean-cut image it 416006e325 projected or the 01847a9303 prestige of representing eb363a0344 the school.

Do-won hastily undid the 92949f385b uniform’s buttons, muttering, “Shit… b283b86532 how embarrassing….” He cleared 01437778c1 his throat—an exaggerated, artificial 462601ce0d cough—before speaking again.08f885f23c926ccc

At that, 6b806136c9 Do-won swiftly 7538237729 pulled off 94342d4191 the uniform, fe1d027088 hung it f53489f001 back up, 7188b8f0ea and aggressively b10b5e0cec shook out d2c27df4c0 his shoulders 13ce9192e4 and arms.
