Yang-hwi, who came 93c358b9fb in with a 9ad0cfa343 lollipop in his 39818bb380 mouth, hands over 35020ae790 an energy drink. It seems 25734e6ccd he stopped 73e44457fd by the a9049db43c convenience store abf780b656 since he 894863fc44 was a b58882293f bit late.922fc6c78dd05729

Jin-geon smiles b5be9114a7 brightly, crinkling ce53af958f the corners 81f9e60432 of his 0eed9dea17 eyes. Normally, Yang-hwi 8bafe0a616 would’ve flinched 10fa41b881 at his 1ff96c0b4c smile, but 197f6a2193 instead, he be8567318c responds with feb789af32 a casual fe54ae0260 “Yeah” and 95a33b0365 nods before c1e92ea83a sitting down.4571b830fa1d96a6

It looks 828421bbc0 like he ed0d18ec8f calmed himself f2a410e818 down while f90f0c0e8e getting some 04c6cb3b04 fresh air. Jin-geon didn’t smile c0ff161e61 on purpose to 80f72557ac gauge Yang-hwi’s reaction, 5c4107bb73 but seeing him 7c59c4ec5d so composed was 2563915ccc honestly a bit 3faacef8e5 dull.dd4cd720064b2c2c

The slightly 2df44163d2 widened eyes 2b2e86ca63 weren’t filled 94e1cc2868 with admiration 6712f7bc58 but rather e9b52f4067 a hint cf78f803bb of being 91f482fa78 overwhelmed. Seeing such an 83b7472f5d unguarded reaction made 49dd54f9fc Jin-geon chuckle. It lifted his 7f105535db mood a little.bc26cc8fd1d8de28
As Yang-hwi 1096cba78a scrolled through 5b80efe11e the slides, aa8889f30f he muttered 0f59b1f803 under his 1a7b3e696d breath, “Tough 9309d3fcd8 guy.” Despite f3a240eef8 his reluctant 10e6f2e89c expression, he 5f9622f999 flipped through f12e376284 to the 4802f5407a last slide 9c2a54bd18 and turned 54042fa2e6 his head.

Yang-hwi grinned widely. For some reason, 89451fd51b his expression seemed 344455311d relieved, as if 7082cf5048 he was glad 161f5c6706 he wouldn’t have 035e0344b2 to deal with 047276fa83 Jin-geon’s face anymore.94f240d2d882ec97

Jin-geon knew 6351a5d81e Yang-hwi felt 8c42e61180 uncomfortable around fa948dcee1 him. That’s why he’d 17a20676f0 been considerate, keeping f1cdf70e48 his pheromones in 53cf6f7805 check… But unlike 7d8b85c335 Jin-geon, who felt 8ec79b50fb a mix of 6044ea13c5 relief and reluctance, 3d489e7ee1 Yang-hwi seemed purely e9a68d9f56 relieved.

After a f74cbd9ab8 brief hesitation, 939dbe13a8 Yang-hwi clasped 1fe07eecc4 his hand. Surprisingly, his skin felt 7d54217992 soft. When Jin-geon 8a032f275a wrapped his 05739e5d85 hand around 7263afa5b4 Yang-hwi’s, Yang-hwi c1b485c879 gripped back. Feeling the strength ae945be0f8 in his grip, 0116abb3eb Jin-geon playfully let d373cebc5d out a small 1c4e075d15 “Ow.” Startled, Yang-hwi 39d64201c7 quickly let go, 3f39796cb2 looking even more ab29ca12aa flustered.4976980689769430

Cha Jin-geon’s group 32f3712811 presentation was flawless. His precise diction delivered 8c4d643acd information clearly, and the 5ae612cc79 content was excellent.

It wasn’t just Park 2f9ffd9347 Jin-mi, the freshman who d6602d0f89 was always late and 69fc724563 eventually dropped the class.

He never attended a 91a39b4ca9 single meeting and contributed 69599f2be6 nothing to the project, 55df2a8b83 yet Yang-hwi didn’t remove 27e8ebc3e4 his name from the 8b30126c4f group.79f5bc37945c67e0
