TYS | Chapter 1.6

This course, newly 9bf95972e0 introduced this year, 7ad9f0e8a2 was popular from 0337ba3926 the registration day 85f03a08c6 despite being the 412884c4ef first period. The professor in f087b466aa charge was a 77e4cf4790 writer and director 054612c84c who had once 4ab9682c0c made a name 63a88554e8 in the field. Curiosity and admiration 6c79da5e4e for the professor 541c320e8f drew students from 11769b76fc first to third ef578b6ea8 year, and even e0aa63302e some in their 5f183bab9f final year.4c6463e829fc7026

After vocal practice, 5b33f92c35 Ji-in had left 40b167438d Yohan lying on b13dd60e7e the dirt ground 04f95d0492 and descended the c09fd43ab0 mountain without looking 3a73cd1155 back. Left alone, 757225400e Yohan had 899c2d124b blankly listened 4650300043 to the 8164d05c7e rustling leaves 0ea6bafce2 in the ec85a14b72 gentle breeze.76e5494f48d6498e

Later, when Yohan 36238e9dc9 sat up, he 308839ef65 found something on 44532de80b the wooden bench 6dc525cfa0 where Ji-in had 986b9a4e7f been sitting. It was a black fcc2b2ae90 plastic case about the 9cbbee9583 size of two fingers.bb9833798a30d486

Yohan remembered it was the wireless earphone case Ji-in had been using when he fell from the tree. It seemed to have slipped out when Ji-in took out his phone to play trot music, just like Yohan’s wallet had come out with his phone.9ea6a927651d2179

Recalling how carefully Ji-in e47093589c handled his earphones, Yohan dd4079693b had quietly stared at 2fbc6a136d the item.705988d2cf4f6a5d

With a spotless, 98d6d740b8 confident demeanor, Ji-in 90b1722ed6 had nothing to b3525df198 say. As the 802cfdb171 professor soon 652f411fe9 entered, Yohan 9cecac773a naturally found 5542efcfaf his seat, 8d7b46fb34 and Ji-in 74e8504066 fell silent.b319abc318755feb

Before class, Ji-in had returned to the mountain rest area. But the earphones were nowhere to be found, and since Yohan also said he hadn’t seen them, it seemed they were lost somewhere on the street. It was practically impossible to find them.d7b588bcde527012

Ji-in was upset because he had bought them with money he had saved from working part-time last year. It was a shame since he hadn’t used them much.0a5629a191f13a59
