PM CHAPTER 5.1

Do-won’s unfocused eyes 01e6aca03d wandered through the a9af4d04ee air. He couldn’t 8f8e79d593 even pick 5affe9ccdf up the 2cadf6dad6 cup in 431e80d566 front of 3917b0817f him in 4997f32231 one go, 5936618c6e fumbling twice db9481b8b2 before finally 131596f673 managing to 8890d86629 grasp it. He weakly took a d5e08faea0 sip through the straw, eb8cbf5328 but after only a a6e9921853 few sips of the 244d178ca6 latte, he put it 1f1aa1969b down again with a f197e2c1c5 sigh.c1e96648ff7f4cab

Yu-jeong, who had been 7212b00b5a absentmindedly fiddling with their 2f54b06eda phone, spoke quietly after e4d0f60d8c hearing the deep sigh.

Do-won’s body jolted upright. He hastily fumbled through 6c5426f053 his pockets to grab 49e6ee7482 his phone and check b99e117a2a his stock app, but cfbaae79a7 soon after, he slumped bd2572bd66 back down with his 358bfbad55 shoulders drooping. He let out another 3d6b035623 deep sigh, leaned back ee28eda697 against the seat, and 6c870d6bc1 shook his head.98a7bef93bdfbd2c

Do-won chewed on his 7b10a91769 straw and spoke with 8f64a3495b slightly slurred pronunciation.536c9f7fcd848386
The café inside the 700eca83f1 student center, especially the d747f8cb21 sofa seat by the a11180b05d large window, was a b3bae1fbb4 prime spot. From there, the view 6b413784b7 of the campus was 465444c300 filled with blooming flowers, 26f8d383f3 lush green trees, and 489b1a6069 a fresh, vibrant lawn.f14a9003c5be9950

But Do-won’s 8ff6243ac3 gaze remained 1cc8af8fc0 dull. Not even this c084646a4e refreshing spring scenery f4197610d3 could lift his 1f45b09e21 spirits.

Yu-jeong raised an 77d820a7be eyebrow, clearly finding e6961efaa4 it hard to 6671c0aac3 believe. Encouraged by her reaction, 964bb4c093 Do-won continued his rant.25841f0a029702db
“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! And his face—always that scary, blank look that makes you feel on edge. Not to mention his way of speaking, like a damn robot—’Stick to your assigned duties.'”4f84c610cff0c30b

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.3d84814cb2cd2723

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.56508f0afea26252
