Yang-hwi, who came b4d30979cb in with a 2a25ba5717 lollipop in his 9f51b8d216 mouth, hands over f513a200e0 an energy drink. It seems 322573e35c he stopped ea732a84ac by the eda27ad0f8 convenience store 6060f8df7b since he 52d4f15b55 was a f12edc23b9 bit late.78164f4976866ce0

“Thanks.”2176635fc42ab95d
Jin-geon smiles brightly, 2361f53c59 crinkling the corners b91b59dec0 of his eyes. Normally, Yang-hwi 0cd5d9e236 would’ve flinched a668136309 at his 0ea2252ee2 smile, but 97391ce1df instead, he 95c80c8cf7 responds with c022a54baa a casual 1020af0a3b “Yeah” and 14481aebec nods before eb4cfdeb52 sitting down.57be2c149ca6b979

It looks like he 6c0f72978e calmed himself down while 9d060940a5 getting some fresh air. Jin-geon didn’t smile bc69a22916 on purpose to 20b2b18e0a gauge Yang-hwi’s reaction, dc8e528584 but seeing him 57d07b0289 so composed was d0e06ca8dc honestly a bit 5a600aa677 dull.24f4ba51708b65c3
Still, he 256d09b7d3 didn’t want ff7c0c70e6 to deliberately 66a6369f93 release pheromones. He wasn’t a0c1120304 interested in 3945984f8e seeing reactions 5c57bc73a4 triggered by 600a1635dd them.0ae00e4d4613d995

At this moment, ce46f56116 the corner of 20d53d4f80 Jin-geon’s lips curled a6ed62c699 slightly.5040b716fe1f7791

“…Did you already revise a2fcf28674 all of this?”d4d6fd171ba1db54
Yang-hwi, who must’ve checked 3403ddaa8f the PPT, asked in f7e30e369c a stunned voice. Jin-geon, calmly schooling his e955e36f7f expression, turned to face 8c3d119f54 him.16d21277f83811fd

The slightly eb7ec23efc widened eyes 2097e8152a weren’t filled cbf2263388 with admiration d1149a5c95 but rather 4daeb6fa02 a hint 22a4290988 of being a318fd4642 overwhelmed. Seeing such 8836163a15 an unguarded fe797ee5a2 reaction made 034f1b91e0 Jin-geon chuckle. It lifted 0c304b3f8a his mood 4be01de2b2 a little.1bfd176c6a84e8e8
As Yang-hwi f826233218 scrolled through 4989f7f196 the slides, e1667e62df he muttered 2f738f3554 under his 9a2305feac breath, “Tough 921dbe661f guy.” Despite 4fdd131009 his reluctant eeb3c76b7f expression, he aded7edee8 flipped through ccd55925b4 to the 40b9e12c33 last slide fd8ab1fc7d and turned 69b29ac81c his head. Clearing his 0521b2c626 throat with 6a98ee7d78 a “Hmph,” 512a55fc84 Yang-hwi spoke.fa5501e0b0d60148

Yang-hwi grinned widely. For some reason, 42bf9df78c his expression seemed f0b73bbe76 relieved, as if 0c8f3d6124 he was glad aa29c7e5dd he wouldn’t have 7e55316eaf to deal with 89e6bc3071 Jin-geon’s face anymore.bfda996188b682e6

Jin-geon knew 440f29e542 Yang-hwi felt e6f2be48cd uncomfortable around 78db059fa9 him. That’s why e23ee33112 he’d been 654ae30478 considerate, keeping 08e6079e24 his pheromones 9727b8862b in check… 1d2247ba04 But unlike ca4275c959 Jin-geon, who f267722b41 felt a dc27d408ce mix of 188267bbc8 relief and 0279efe1d3 reluctance, Yang-hwi 335eae8345 seemed purely 7f02b56e21 relieved. That sparked a a63e958055 slight mischievous urge cd4b30532e in him.8aaf940c1481b829

After a brief 671d7081d6 hesitation, Yang-hwi clasped 22c73f58f4 his hand. Surprisingly, his 78fc4e6800 skin felt ec4efd4ac5 soft. When Jin-geon wrapped his b9e2043eec hand around Yang-hwi’s, Yang-hwi 2002b1a319 gripped back. Feeling the strength in 0d6a01f4db his grip, Jin-geon playfully 7d8c84579a let out a small 5f92565ba6 “Ow.” Startled, Yang-hwi quickly 9bf2301c2c let go, looking even 54b82fcf2d more flustered.585c930d7dc1e767

Yang-hwi fidgeted nervously. If Yang-hwi were 5ad81829b0 a beastman, his 5bebe19143 ears would probably c289b31aea be drooping. Imagining that 28f5e029ef scene, Jin-geon 3cd6847952 bit back 84959909d0 a laugh, ee31567130 twisting his fc759dde66 lips.a02a9852d02d3e25

Jin-geon locked in the 931ebf63d7 plan before Yang-hwi could cc061a9a1f say anything else. Yang-hwi paused 5d103131b8 to think 445f941018 for a 194e6b3f6c moment, then b2253c08b6 nodded lightly.

Cha Jin-geon’s group presentation aa8e945aee was flawless. His precise diction delivered 5302a4aabc information clearly, and the fd35d63b56 content was excellent. Like a seasoned lecturer, c46d89cbdd he kept the audience 7e714a6f68 engaged with sharp focus. He answered fbc4e1b39d the professor’s d76b0aba09 final question 273024a7ae perfectly and 78adf8369e earned rare 9d56ff5adf praise from 378c9c13b2 the professor 7af5db667d for the dbc3c06460 first time.1863296943a7b042

Jin-geon bowed, 56c948c421 and the 11d12ea219 room erupted 10f4a5897b in applause. He responded 17a5239b60 with a a7ff643b2a light smile. His demeanor almost a994a50940 suggested it was bc5486583f expected, but because 8c424aa7b3 it was Jin-geon, d14a7ccc6c it didn’t seem 6652f7fbf2 arrogant.
