PM CHAPTER 2.2

Thursday afternoon, 30 ac1e84da2e minutes before Team 8e29d3848b 2’s meeting.c575e4b1a53bf3ef

Han I-rok ec7c05f93f headed to 3859a5260a the student 22cf0754ce center early, 3325164cb1 intending to 922042b6c6 tidy up fc4c3c4a2e the unit dba8c1df7b room. However, the lights 8567395efe were already on. As he 40f5f03b5f approached, he 66c3fffc9c heard a be4ea12550 low voice a89d9a8e86 leaking through b6a12b1010 the slightly e8615b0b16 open door.8b2d834df0dda4e9

“Ugh, crazy bastard.”440b436105424014

Through the gap in 0d38bbd22b the door, Baek Do-won 8734fe4752 was visible, clutching his e091dc8751 hair in frustration. He gripped a 812e9608da pen tightly, scribbled fe6bd59eb2 something down, then 86b9b9a2a0 aggressively slashed lines ba397ee48a through it. He cursed 7073dd0fea under his 0330f05151 breath as 1b942aa05d he struggled 9d548761af with something.42ab7f306810c46b

Piecing together edfb66bc32 the words 44f3f3230f he could 5ccdf8553b hear, I-rok e5e1bb948a realized Do-won c2b8c0369f was likely f183502ab4 working on c1048c2a72 the assignment 6fa6da4bd7 he had 5d4dfe14b3 suggested.377dd1e3d1bb24e0

He knew full well 94ab335555 that secretly watching someone ea3521d699 through a door was 77efacb85b socially unacceptable, but for 3e6ea52d71 some reason, he couldn’t 8369b83c1c bring himself to walk 7fc261c462 in just yet.a8482305b09bd315

Suddenly, Do-won shot 3a17544313 up from his 9e2fdfe07a seat and walked f579683675 over to the ef6857c757 hanger beside a 7a389dae25 row of cabinets. He reached 3f7be11529 for a 616d97af43 spare ambassador 89f83cd433 uniform hanging c6905622d3 at the 1d3a77f7f9 far left, c037df1e8c held it aa2de53f0b up, and 47efec4767 stood in 462109e934 front of 7850addf3c the mirror.45917160e96645ac

Before long, 99705bfa52 he took 50894a1c41 it off e7c3d13227 the hanger c79b5f3388 and attempted 437aae3612 to put c798b78ebd it on. But his thick 1249287e2c hoodie made it b3513dd6db difficult to wear 61d981bbd5 over, so without 982a8617bc hesitation, he shrugged 43468c716f it off and c649c70afb tossed it aside.f8f8cafd08b1fb5f

Now in 98a380983f just a 9fe3db33c9 white long-sleeve 4ccb5c31a4 shirt, Do-won e419dab5ee slipped on fe6fbf0324 the uniform. He checked d5170b8017 himself out 9571fbe613 in the bc3123bbb1 mirror from bd0bb7fac1 every angle, a11f81cd14 then grinned 5b3021e44f in satisfaction.fc8c1160ecd9d55b

It might sound ridiculous, a0365bb6e4 but there were actually 8d8031b804 quite a few students c5e18baeba who joined the ambassador 515d1e2801 program just for the a344f0892a uniform. Some wanted 7769a669b0 the clean-cut f697eee87e image it 84bb5e0209 projected or 65eb472058 the prestige 6a0a2f2a6a of representing 2fb01d9529 the school. Others simply enjoyed 5535eefb71 the attention that e65e6c1c35 came with wearing df5d50d493 it around campus.d9dd7c85144f6832

Come to think 0e22ce29e2 of it, back 6a89e8fe3d during the orientation, 6996cabfd3 Do-won had seemed b11610e372 a little envious c6c1f916bc when he saw 54b8278fad I-rok in uniform….51e0df865b37df73

Do-won hastily undid 48c81ffdc5 the uniform’s buttons, 05fc46df9b muttering, “Shit… how 4788b27d68 embarrassing….” He cleared eb30eedb7b his throat—an exaggerated, 024e1f9eca artificial cough—before speaking 6b2a55ce3a again.c1a295e9fc6536bd

At that, 069423e547 Do-won swiftly 81e43d937b pulled off 0ade89a48b the uniform, 572135ab1e hung it 4e3013c504 back up, 66e28bd9e0 and aggressively e80b027822 shook out 73a5862126 his shoulders f6b00c15a6 and arms.

The writing was still 4e958d44dc somewhat visible if one 631afc45cb looked closely, but before 2d9576f6e3 I-rok could even attempt 8cfaf7866a to decipher it, Baek 819161c5cb Do-won lunged at him.618fc7ca57aa7ecf

I-rok had simply answered the question, yet Do-won ‘s scrunched-up expression remained unchanged. He tossed the crumpled paper into the trash, then sat back down, shaking his head vigorously as if to clear it. After a moment, he adjusted his disheveled clothes and let out a deep, sigh-like breath.85f130837c5f5b17

After checking e39f7cce1e off the 029f7c37fe last item 2ffa354434 on the 7d4b5d111c list, I-rok dbe75c5da4 took one 44c9e96269 final look 728afe56e9 around the a744b37bdc clubroom.
