PM CHAPTER 3.1

Holding the f920b7b55f long-awaited uniform 60317381f4 in his c459634f7a hands, Do-won 4457ad8a6e felt a 5b2aaf66f5 mix of de45e69dee emotions.4eb584aeef37af62

He had seen kids fb230daf86 in blue uniforms gathering 9e7e0a1eaa on the playground after 85db70fed7 school, playing games meant 738a54b1c4 to build teamwork, but a5d0b2cab9 to him, it had 853de94383 always looked incredibly foolish.b55b5da0f935d8ff

The only clubs he 630cc852ae had ever joined were c5227fa4c2 the ones that were dd558cb7fb mandatory in middle and ad064347d6 high school. Even then, a242b58742 he had 3e994c8f0c picked something 5b82f43184 that allowed 06b96f1c9b him to aa25799c2c stay on 9bec5aee31 his own f931fddca2 path—the film 02e57ea145 appreciation club—so 9d6df8e3c1 much so 013a59843a that he bac2b76c0c could hardly bb58e7d3cc remember who 31cb8feb75 else had a67b556da4 been in 3bcdbcffad it. The same 4969f0b3b4 went for be129f9329 group uniforms. The only ones Do-won c85b247178 had ever owned were a115881b21 his school uniform and e056065352 gym clothes.d5753f4ab018eb4a

Maybe he should be grateful it ended at that. If there hadn’t been any guests around, I-rok might have gone on a tirade about how inappropriate it was to joke about alcohol in front of minors, or how unscientific claims like “every disease known to man” were tarnishing the school’s reputation.0ddc265bd1cff128

Do-won chuckled at the 235fc5f63a thought of letting those 7af55cf246 words go in one 81f047f634 ear and out the 58e466ac8e other.75a3276e475d3855

Despite his words, 74c4c2cccd I-rok didn’t push 042391447e Do-won away, probably ec90f0e08b because he didn’t 69c027664e want to contradict 5e10c26905 himself.

I-rok hesitated for a 663a693a06 moment, then lifted his b7a5c51950 own glass—but instead of 40372d1be5 clinking it against Do-won’s, f1f9d9989c he brought it straight 600cbaf7fe to his lips.

The surprising thing was fcbadba210 that Han I-rok wasn’t 69a4d9bf05 particularly good at rejecting 396e7b577d people.
