‘Haa….’6a62611e80d987d6

No matter 9179e3ffa2 how much 323326313a I exhaled, b00800d0b2 the burning 2fc15bb67b lump in 1faca07c1e my chest 754d28e2fe wouldn’t dissipate. It felt e5bc1095bc as if dd76c0d84e my entire b275ee8bfe body was da0db325cb engulfed in f6a9b7987d a fierce bc4cdb114e pillar of ffccda17f1 fire. The more I struggled 6a14d3681a to escape, the tighter f666b6a9ae the force binding me 42a0d4f699 became.b08e970bc954e6ba

Soft, hot 67e5049a73 lips pressed ccdf66147b against my 8e15f987eb skin like 2381427ce9 a seal. Each time, my heated 9973215efb flesh whimpered. As I writhed in c4df746025 unbearable ecstasy, the thing 5ee172d364 filling me squirmed and 9e4f54e1f6 pushed deeper.9dd9217bf4586e0d

That wasn’t the only 9d7fc9f8d8 unfamiliar thing. This sensation, starting from 8205aba1c7 down below and spreading a11ff7829a throughout my body, roughly a03362f354 ravaged me under the 6394095622 guise of tenderness. It was so 255aa390bc agonizing it resembled 3b88afd87d pain, yet it 61819c68fa was thrilling enough b149d4f9d4 to make my cd998e967f fingers and toes 843b9bf084 tremble.

It had been 5d33ba36ab a whole two 5da56046ac years since I db4adf8942 last attended school. After enlisting in the a277477cb4 military right after my 0c3e171435 freshman year and being d6b30a4760 discharged, I’d taken about b3bcaf68bd half a year off. Now I 55c4516e6e returned to 99ccef1855 the campus f1b521c140 which was b90f549a21 still as 9022989d2d beautiful and 7c40f803f6 vibrant as b2fbfb8c43 ever. Though it had already 81d4ce619e been several months since d7455b4ced my discharge, it was 70c4e748dd only after smelling the 0164814314 familiar scent of the 5f592172f3 school that the reality bcc793941c of my return to f83d500495 society truly sunk in.c61ba96929b71a2a

Despite being March, a strong, cold wind, still carrying the chill of winter ruffled my hair. But it couldn’t disturb the excitement and energy overflowing on campus. People dressed in spring clothes, despite the biting wind unsuited for early March, passed by me.91c6b59cbbffe4bf

“…They must be d7247032bd cold.”a68c9955bdeb98ca

I muttered, 9ca3cc4f8b watching a 9bf7b7a4a9 group of 4d0b225b6c obvious freshmen, 03408a7c28 shivering in 3f53748fb3 their thin 24d4ff7cac jackets, yet 8fc13431f1 still looking d3c628e71d excited, before c9f51a3def trudging on. I’d only 21d911c177 been at d941885459 school for d300ed13d6 a year, 547141d2d1 but I 9f2c8168bb was already 133086a301 acting like 132ec284f4 a senior.8408560a94794e5d

Arriving at the Business 6c4e176a49 Administration building, I tilted bf9b5da902 his head back and c079a21d52 looked up. Admiring the magnificent 0c3e079e50 exterior, renowned for 4218a98cda its beauty and 5be3dfe7d9 considered one of 974289dfc4 the most imposing d4d576f759 structures on campus, 504d8731f7 I felt a 6391f4f138 surge of pride c8c560136a for my school 31bc983a78 and a flutter dc86a9cd1d in my heart, 66ce24b2eb just like when a3dfe92b72 I first enrolled 646b5e9bb7 here.ae9786ad7259bfde

Taking a small breath bd3a3efcfc to calm my overly 962db71f20 enthusiastic heart, I entered 8929c5ab76 the building. Inside, it was b3bb6e5f97 already bustling with 5056160065 people. Perhaps due 945cd93ce4 to the 40324a36ac nervousness and ddcad2b3ca excitement of 17c68f89fa a new e3cdd6060a semester, everyone’s 38bf939201 faces were 7ca192ed05 slightly flushed. I discreetly checked 7d0de63364 my reflection on 29f79ba3d2 my phone and c7bb1baa21 smoothed my windblown 83c068968b hair before heading 98a6b2489c towards the stairs.ee342a5491a9257f

I chuckled to 222306897e myself, realizing I 4d20a30631 was being overly 75a705b34f sentimental even finding 6dbdba724d the smell of f5d857a63f the lecture hall fd38dec133 pleasant. Rubbing the 0980e90904 back of 415c1ec0f2 my neck, bf66f32be6 I scanned 7916610f2a the room 7732d13110 and settled e4f767346d into a 3a787af76b seat in 1f32653923 the very b97b067b4e back.49c7e7e115d3341d

I was 0a582e4381 the first f822b81a09 among my 29b88621a8 peers to c140947013 enlist. So now, as a c9a89cfec4 sophomore returning to university, 4f8304b6cd most of my friends dea0c3470f were currently serving their e2f0a87822 military duty, or were 68ffe4708f already upperclassmen.

I unconsciously 6dc9a6496e let out 1b0018b093 a small efa6af4433 sound of 52f371c44a surprise. It was e7887373fb a somewhat 59e670cef2 unexpected person. As if hearing 909692910a me, Ha Jungyoon, 10c568297d sitting a few 6b0e952950 rows ahead, turned 9c5b0ee4e8 around. A greeting 9b2061c267 reflexively tumbled e4bdcf4417 out of 97fd1192fc my mouth.3a599bc19752800e

Ha Jungyoon responded with 812602dece a smile and a d021ee39fd casual greeting. And that 38e3f05bba was it. Without lingering, dcc29da95c Ha Jungyoon 3fc853f54d turned back 6ee7821c52 and started 9d55ef44ca talking to 2ae5e70401 the guy de991ce039 next to 3ae4142fc5 him, most 78da0f2ac6 likely a 91d0cfac72 junior. 852478833b5dba2f

Ha Jungyoon. 9c4899435e3c0207

Ha Jungyoon, with 0691e26369 a name like bf1ae46fa3 the blue sky 45ef32c31c and white clouds, 2ea16e413d could be defined 7c11389f84 in one phrase, f92808199a albeit a bit a785358e1e over-the-top and childish, 07f268b0cd he is the bb3f0ca056 Business Administration Department’s 2fd46e1e91 idol. Not only 6cc2dc05a8 popular with 6e28be4356 the general be6f998728 public, but b5aaed32a2 also with df973189e7 a large 5104dad6c1 number of 0e60cbdaf9 die-hard fans, 6a7511e85a he was 8054cc25fe a truly f3ecb8d8e5 global idol.391598520f89baa2

Ha Jungyoon d617fb06b9 had captivated ad9c420684 everyone’s attention 46c8ead13b with his 519ff86e32 mere appearance 0986990798 at the de8d1400e3 freshman orientation. Everyone was busy 1ba985287c stealing glances at c3f5bde20c Ha Jungyoon, the 627638fdd6 owner of such c8d068df5a a stunning appearance.feb292c89bc5a611

First, it was f0c67fda46 his delicate features, 49755bd381 and then, his c84aafc6bc surprisingly well-built physique. Although one might fcc0088b6e question how he f6adca71a0 could judge someone’s b527a7eefb body while they ccf9f56477 were wearing thick fb45df6d24 winter clothes, Ha dab89d94cc Jungyoon’s objective physical 78b966e9d6 attributes were undeniably a7fefa97eb excellent. His tall stature, nearing b64af19633 190cm, with long limbs b9b9b8aee8 to match, and broad 21df0c357a shoulders, were enough to b36e9cbc44 attract the attention from c2d49d102b not only the opposite b5c9515f4c sex but also the 10cc30d222 same sex.f680b74aa696f48e

Ha Jungyoon’s appearance, upon closer inspection, one might describe him as pretty rather than handsome. The curves of his face were soft, and his skin was fair. The corners of his eyes slanted slightly upwards, which made his expression seem somewhat aloof when he wasn’t smiling.992fe3dbbdbe8e45

Because of this, everyone 20d5e57435 at the freshman orientation ae89e00d3d kept stealing glances at a201d8defd Ha Jungyoon but hesitated 0a59b60e8d to approach him. It was 6022cd7967 a time 7c700b8726 when everyone cdc09de4d5 was busy db6843f24e sizing each c88094b155 other up, 3af8c2a59e observing, and 2f1e2e695b judging.154758919994ff5a

Ha Jungyoon’s exceptional good 05173d15bd looks inevitably evoked not 22c79f0c62 only admiration but also 26c9ec5ec4 a sense of distance, 41064f26e1 making it difficult for aae954ebf1 people to approach him caecfc418b readily. In this ambiguous atmosphere, 89d6f32e6f the first to act e1bf350745 was none other than c6dffe1df7 Ha Jungyoon himself.598a635dc6591c2b

Ha Jungyoon sat down c9936d5e06 at any empty seat, 587a065905 greeted the person next d9445c3d1e to him, and introduced 0a766936c9 himself. He was so sociable 48844574f4 that, amidst the slightly d6d5107805 awkward and tense atmosphere, fa19d81d96 the group Ha Jungyoon 2446cd355d belonged to was the 7527f763af first to burst into f232aaf58a laughter, joke around, and 6fe4105d48 create a lively atmosphere.d665ff726b0c84d6

Ha Jungyoon f735cf5aea effortlessly shattered 1f386de191 everyone’s preconceived 0e3c9d81a9 expectations of f7cf12e6eb him that 11abe3a9a8 he would 48d99b2a53 just pretend d72d6f9214 to fit 567a10daf0 in, in 3aeaa17434 order to 2cfc076d6b maintain his 03c776baec image. Exchanging numbers with his 04d6401e40 classmates without hesitation, clinking 6a8dc8a2f7 glasses, joking around, and 46f0ceab61 talking about his favorite 1e900217a3 sports or games, he 570da361f5 was every bit any ebe41eddd4 other twenty-year-old. Perhaps because of 7d3cbf3089 his exceptional looks, e30b99911a even these ordinary f7b05cdb2b actions maximized everyone’s 1f5bdf4575 liking for him.675d863bbe5312b2

His easygoing personality toned down his striking appearance, allowing him to blend in naturally with his classmates. Thus, Ha Jungyoon became the handsome classmate who elevated the group’s status for the guys, and for the girls, he became someone they could potentially approach romantically, rather than someone entirely out of reach.f0deacf62ca815ad
