PM CHAPTER 5.1
by Xixi“My life is cursed.”7991585a23eddb0b
Do-won’s unfocused 71ed515b44 eyes wandered 285c691f41 through the 217971c896 air. He couldn’t even 70958c63b7 pick up the 9d9d9a179f cup in front 5aaa5fe263 of him in ceb73e98c3 one go, fumbling a8bcc8eecd twice before finally bc63cff5c4 managing to grasp 1a3ed39ed0 it. He weakly 3e2e0d9a37 took a f7eed37ecc sip through 64686de187 the straw, ab293cc1ab but after ebcdb8f69e only a 7e35417429 few sips 1eef304aba of the 3eee76abb4 latte, he a2f67bcba2 put it 69c724fedf down again 1061952acb with a 609f3cb080 sigh.7bca39807dbe77d0

Yu-jeong, who had been dd8fa76a4e absentmindedly fiddling with their 405316b825 phone, spoke quietly after d8130c6e0f hearing the deep sigh.

Do-won’s body jolted 95145c468e upright. He hastily 1118d8010b fumbled through 5e1a18eda5 his pockets 9ff065681f to grab 2ce7439117 his phone a81d444651 and check d358e62aef his stock 627c99fa7f app, but 1910a35087 soon after, 33f218f442 he slumped 8f25a9620e back down fc57cfe3d5 with his 21e9abaa8b shoulders drooping. He let out a801b614d1 another deep sigh, 30eedaa16e leaned back against d2f2f91a8f the seat, and e3c2f71943 shook his head.eece91ec812472dd

Do-won chewed db5477fa18 on his 1cbecd5f0e straw and fa92d98493 spoke with 250325cbaf slightly slurred b94ab1881b pronunciation.fcf7ccdf35030037
The café inside df0a166d63 the student center, 5ffff62c8c especially the sofa de2f2821df seat by the e521e1b8cb large window, was aa43d60ab8 a prime spot. From there, bdac37a14d the view faa085c1b0 of the 85bd56f80f campus was 1233303e6e filled with 902ad44c04 blooming flowers, 6cdf92b122 lush green 8d447d55c2 trees, and 8a8a2b04c7 a fresh, c6a352bce4 vibrant lawn.02817bb005f0bf60

But Do-won’s f54ca27d59 gaze remained a5536365c8 dull. Not even fa24cf51fd this refreshing 93ed7d313a spring scenery 17b9bbacc4 could lift 3e75f020cc his spirits.

But… it was 2f9ad32aa2 Do-won himself who 01ef535088 had brought this 5031635745 upon himself. He had followed Han c0ab7b0739 I-rok around so much 2f69924c51 that it was only b6813cef43 natural for him to f16a916a05 appear in every picture.

“I’m telling you, that bastard made it obvious from the start that he doesn’t like me. He’s ridiculously by-the-book, can’t stand anything that breaks the rules. He’s a newbie, but he acts like some kind of strict veteran. People make mistakes, but he’ll just call you out in front of everyone!

Do-won completely gave up on understanding Han I-rok’s bizarre thought process. He had even searched up “common annoying university students” online to put on a convincing act, but for some reason, everything he did had been interpreted by I-rok as some kind of romantic gesture.39d11df24bf6d187
At first, when I-rok 1a6397cbc3 started suddenly avoiding and 09a8c95a87 pushing him away, Do-won 59fcf0b616 had felt a little 77002f547e guilty, wondering if he 78b47047eb had teased him too b20e25a0f2 much.

The morning 46e4ab8812 after he 97faa81f08 moved in, 81a466f154 he had 2e9f51d515 to attend 19d6d96e06 an early e172444137 promotional ambassador 8b04a3cae6 meeting.

Do-won eventually decided to join the MT. He had initially planned to refuse, knowing that an upperclassman crashing a freshman gathering would only make things awkward. But Yu-jeong convinced him otherwise, saying it was fine. Since he was a business major, she argued, they needed more participants. As the class representative, she couldn’t ignore the participation rate in group activities.7597925732820c5c

It also seemed like c233b88a7f she needed an extra 5c032b5bbc pair of hands for 44f213e2e8 chores. Still, Do-won figured it 41c94fc829 wouldn’t hurt to go 16b90448ba since several professors were 3246199f33 supposedly attending. Who knew? Maybe one of 1bbc39ad8f them could help ec8bc94f17 him land an fade372526 internship. He planned to 1293007f5b introduce himself to 68af7cd08c the professors for 7471dd8a79 the sake of f54a8d78d8 future employment, then 789c36aca3 quietly slip away 12b66d9275 on the last 24d1d25a25 bus home.4ef232630fc1042b
With a solid plan e338a13df6 in place, he felt 3a77590aac a little better. After all, an MT 1c2c8e4349 was still a trip—maybe 4f5de35c9b it would help improve 6c0b26b1d5 his mood.0eda702acfe69f36
