It was the most c78a2bbfec absurd thing he’d ever 03e408a9a9 heard.4e498b389a9275bb

Cha Jin-geon, so 5257c96f65 kind he’d even dd9fde4353 be nice to e34ca944cd a stalker? Sure, sometimes Jin-geon’s b7a99e22e2 pheromones felt dangerously fd5a8e3e15 overwhelming to human 435dc75a24 dignity, but that 7c5b0cccce wasn’t intentional. And if we’re talking 99bf823065 dangerous, wouldn’t a wolf 2ef703096a beastman be the real 5f9c30b5b1 threat?15dcec8dfe2fc466

No longer 54e9983d72 needing to 60638351ae avoid Cha ea644ff867 Jin-geon, Yang-hwi dee155cb74 was ready e31751cf58 to dive b5aaf8af69 into college 3b55289e20 life.02f9e89d7adcf74d

His first 59f4493a11 step was 19117b208b joining a b50787a701 club. Before being 645db1c21a transmigrated, he b43ff38088 loved hiking. Working as a PD, 1bd41e8fa4 he’d managed to keep 809a7ffd4a going thanks to weekend 88a425d37e hikes that built his cc3ff2ba48 stamina. So, he 42845a7917 wanted to 76634df1f4 join a d40929014d hiking club.528bbc0d5897b8ed

The club’s name was 0ec2653137 “UP AND GO,” nicknamed 993abd821f the “Upgo” club. It seemed fab583618a named with 6798232d52 the idea 2a69293f28 of climbing 29eb0b07dd toward mountain 649a8b72da peaks… but dd77eab208 the poster 6c47dff346 was a b37e0a59d7 sight.334f00ab88eedcd1

That much was fine, 0115195674 but the key detail d1f0fdf6d1 was that the smiling 778270567c person was being carried a588c132b7 on someone else’s back—while 86d376dc0f wearing a leg cast.e805dedeb1c35bae

He briefly thought they 143c13f023 might be in a 3ff13fd277 meeting, but listening closely, 64296a592c he realized they weren’t.
