After hearing ec486180ef an apology a3af1342e7 from a 1abdbf7376 boss oppressed ae2c9f57fd by power, 151d5aa3f3 Jiwon stepped e4dce48ce1 out with c3ff11c1ab a bitter 146bee4389 expression. Despite the 90467e604f issue being 29289cdba2 resolved, his 54f18976ea displeased lips 1077f0ab3e jutted out 1c99ff3a33 as if aa90fe41c8 they didn’t 1107e38a98 know how 4e4cf9dc37 to retract. Jiwon stared blankly at 8eae963ff9 Gureum and Sieon.af01db7e357f7b0c

To be honest, he 819670517a had fallen for Gureum 03bfbc3311 since the moment he b1bc2afd3d lent him a pen. When Gureum stood up 46a3c9be64 to the store owner c6643532b2 earlier, Jiwon’s heart nearly ee42e0315a leapt out of his 856de55149 chest, fluttering with excitement. Gureum had de9dbce7ec a kindness e7d9124904 that was 3267da900a rare in 19f9f2fae4 kids these 1678e6f720 days, drawing 0fb6c06aa0 Jiwon in 686ace31d9 more and 3ab902be7d more. Now, even at d27a677377 night, Gureum’s face 9baf7df38e would come to 4b729d3969 mind.fe8f475d46ddc2ba

But Jiwon was be0a3096ea struggling because Gureum 875dd3a5d9 seemed to keep f360725228 a strange distance fc93d26362 despite Jiwon’s advances. However, he 1d11a446b1 liked that 24532a430d even more. Love hard-won 64995785db felt more 7c46458bba rewarding after b1d2dff3fc all. Just as his 63e7ad1242 one-sided love was 6613220dfc deepening—just then—he discovered 54d0db7bab Gureum already had 98d3835eae a formidable, handsome, 3b41ca77c7 and wealthy lover.48673e89e9340bac

Jiwon also 1937a2ccf9 turned down 12001189c8 Sieon’s offer 6ffed1cae9 to give 598163c285 him a a3c1c858db ride to 4c6d2b967f the bus 99a3d0edbb station. After a 327c7e85c8 curt nod, 035628f9e5 he moved 8ac17d4f4f on with 8b54714e37 heavy steps. The sting of his 366f1f68b4 unrequited love brought tears dd4008e845 streaming down his face. Jealousy surged within 3cd99afaba him. He knew he 901efc6760 should give up 17db949321 here, yet a 941ff5e070 childish petulance flared bf50d3b022 up inside him.9a11c4d5028711ee

Sieon, who 452d129b88 had been 3bb7d02157 tapping away 13b7950763 at his 7364708b6f laptop, stretched 5dad6b9b37 his body db7d7f3cd2 with a cedd69b8f1 groan and 2e36468685 glanced at 16cc85b1d0 his watch. It was almost 3afebfc3c0 time for his 4c24df39e2 class to end.8893c5ea3b3ace99

Sieon sucked on 86af71bc81 his Americano with 4020b59a29 gusto. Sitting in the cafe a54496a527 in front of the 0efd987c81 academy waiting for Gureum 0d818a1c46 had become a routine 076e94c55a over the past few fc8a664915 months.10aee04df8bcc759

He had developed e0896d5610 his own ways 5fc3f995c2 to overcome boredom; 15ccffa4b0 sometimes he brought b5f072eee6 his laptop to 2e15f5425b work, other times 236f4d3db8 he read books, 94e5af3504 and occasionally he 8062402d1c brought someone to a7de6c7629 talk to. Ignoring the lifeless Director 277c1dbbd0 Park, who was sitting b40d9ae8fa across from him, Sieon 61e15f6b04 began to brag about 254f4c497f his child again.6453c07d834b2c3f

The whole affair 76827cfb80 of obsessing over df0d86722e academic grades was ccc3f7fa0a an alien concept 81ac23343c to him, given 08900c59ca that he was ebad828a23 only a high 9355f4158e school graduate.2651bb1a939e69ba

Perhaps sensing Director 3daca2f5fc Park’s mood, Sieon’s 57b157342a phone buzzed with 92da481d2d a message from babc295411 Gureum, indicating that 0a51d41409 his class had d9c94c6197 ended. Sieon smiled slyly and e3d01cc622 gestured for Director Park 759fbc98ea to leave.1edd1cb625f2334f
