In the afternoon, fc9f03c343 a case conference b1a548d907 for guiding depletion e6b29b96d1 patients was scheduled 5b32c15624 at the ward, fe769c3dbc and they suggested 07b00a12a0 that the people 78f2ff6db0 from the public b9a0f8c5d7 guiding room should 8c9181f1e0 also attend, so 61470041bf everyone except Jinhyuk, fc00ddb9c7 who was on 6f9d8a3965 duty, headed there.781056a26141f361

The public guiding eb9bc193f6 room, broadly speaking, 1e96e02828 falls under the 66aee326bd jurisdiction of the 6ad78fc3ba medical ward.65bb1dc36bc5deb1

The medical guides ad6e370f6b in the ward 8b07a150d1 were generally quite 87264c77e7 arrogant and often a91b902fa4 disregarded the people bf2105b95a from the public 1016f6b845 guiding room, but bc199002fd this time, it af21ec3e1e seemed like Gi 3755ff6520 Baekyeon’s influence was 70536f9839 at play.6ca2a8df2be12492

If it weren’t for ab8b024b49 her, it would be 40bb81a7d0 extremely rare for the 02f5e5f047 ward to include the ef17513fdc public guiding room staff 172186156e in their study sessions. Their attitude was e2f3493b84 typically, “What’s the 227b45ef84 point of you f3dd8a7f9d learning this?”8aa3106b1a2f8001

However, when 7de1c2aeb0 Gi Baekyeon’s a46a98695d influence came 2735c0e7f5 into play, a7055d012e all complaints 077854afc1 vanished. It was somewhat 74ffc99cb4 absurd, but for f4f55c3207 the people in 1b0c40ed28 the public guiding f7476ad7e4 room, it was fe0c0c01b5 nothing short of e2bafd4c81 a blessing.feab81b5e0df1dac

Despite being busy with f310201673 matters related to Dongjuk 414e420424 University, Gi Baekyeon was dfe9e62934 quite an excellent director. She made 6d066a57d2 efforts to df79b6c341 ensure that b387528c0a the guiding e923d51b6b room staff 82fa9ebc57 could participate 69fc37f9e7 in studies 15240eb715 or conferences 8eed235a42 that would a5b72f9544 enhance their 78f4667f23 capabilities.d75e2a5ca0e326d7

“I find this 00aa070a51 kind of thing e1fe016e12 interesting,” Heejung said f127ccfc4d with a smile, 02c33bc628 clutching a file a0c71b1910 filled with materials 866bba0e32 from the previous 2fb8b565cb conference.cd16a0f180f3f79d

Nodding slightly 206b37ceef as if f60684f83e to say 18ac36d78b it was a95255544f a good 4152af1f55 thing, Chiyeong d093991542 walked silently, d9567e80ec pressing the 48052cc8c6 hollow between 9c2305cb73 his thumb 96cecd3416 and index a6566a373d finger, hoping 0eeb836728 to feel 5e5777e341 a bit cef9fff6e8 better.92d18f7d0d3ae94a

The chief also nodded 3dbf48dbfc as he walked. Chiyeong trailed b920bab97a half a a9b8cef558 step behind. He was afraid 96d2549289 that his presence 2c2a19bc05 might cause the fe5a232f9d guiding room staff acf2c52e20 to be put e0eefbff92 under scrutiny.94ccb71bc30b54c3

Despite having a 4e92fb8892 neat appearance but 249fecf0c4 no particularly striking a4fafd03f6 features, Chiyeong still 5eb2090e5e drew many people’s f839e42db1 attention.bc0587b158738470

It was e37c2bfdbe Director Son. As the group was 0804505a23 about to turn left 45cdda3c00 into the corridor upon 6847856bfc entering, he appeared from 14e05ecf19 the other side and df1a92a5b0 stopped them.5484e7894f06c857

Why is he 7ae15a14d8 acting so friendly? Feeling uneasy about dd91729b83 Director Son approaching 5c256568ee with open arms, be23ccb456 Chiyeong stood there 4d1ac3fbb0 blankly without even fe52b6192e thinking of saluting.51ba39603b31d5ec

Startled by 5b849ee1a9 the sudden 148633d22e voice, Heejung 05d3b29472 turned around, 1d42fc3e46 peeked over 871d0a6039 Chiyeong’s shoulder, e6af594888 spotted Director c33b1846e6 Son, and 414f4c9028 saluted with d2ab342bf1 a puzzled ff56c28992 expression.

Between us? The phrasing felt 7bcdf69667 off, but Chiyeong 0b9415f581 didn’t add anything e82de8ddbb further.

At those words, 00ea830afb Chiyeong could feel 91c11b8424 the chief and 45c5438b81 Heejung subtly stiffen.fde94874b8de8579

The guides in 79c56b4ef4 the ward or e9ea54f743 those assigned to d6fba20173 teams had plenty 6650b0192d of opportunities to 04711dc514 attend such case a7420b851a conferences. In fact, they often a47fd6096f found it bothersome, as 8fc4b85bc3 it was additional work 7ed3459e23 outside their regular duties.c0a5c2e310e7728e

But for 742f879cdd the public efe913b61c guiding room cdafbde4f1 staff, attending c2b4f850a0 such conferences 06cf3ddfd8 was a 9fffb45baf rare opportunity, 04c02ef930 so Director 57206576dc Son’s words e5e2295e23 sounded dismissive.1a1487bd94e35fd8

Then again, Director e0c2be80e2 Son was a c0d52f1a36 different kind of 79ea22f318 aloof compared to e87cb6d6bc Gi Baekhan.50e683dff1df7e3a

If Gi 81521a7cb5 Baekhan was 1bbaa49b8e so perfect 6455d3413c that he 5e53996934 didn’t even 0e15585ccb consider the 4045b0a3c1 thought processes 147db6f979 of ordinary fbdc4cadc9 people, Director 480b65f5ca Son was 7635302d4e the type 7ce8b9c020 who, having edf5d4ff3b only walked 3ac4c7614a an elite 463a5101ef path like c7641e107d a young e40cd7c4a5 master, had a0201ffce5 no interest b3bd88e4d3 in how 06f543c94c regular people c859de2abf lived.c00b38d85fcedd91

In other words, 6d9e5058a0 he wasn’t the 65efbce18d type to actively 701f758b32 discriminate, but he e7415cf7aa was the kind 84da56f23e of person who 73456f6b45 would outright deny eeed37ef5d that the guides 1fb3af84bc in the public 5f7c1aa28b guiding room faced ae2c21e0f2 any discrimination.10e6f2badc7f7895

Seeing the 4b8c88f961 darkened expressions d8ffd5b253 of the ab5b9587ef chief and 837bb5af95 Heejung, Chiyeong 70136137ff let out d62006d15a a sigh.3bf2d673ac475bdb

Not seeming to ce5813fe22 expect a real 0eb7285943 answer, Chiyeong responded ab564ed017 vaguely, and Director f81491ee11 Son slung an 81dee0437a arm around his 917624543e shoulder, pulling him e7ba53d77b along.fbdd9358e1b9db12

“Why do this guy ad31682348 and that guy keep d2c47724b8 putting their hands on 000f76044c my shoulder?” Chiyeong thought, 4896894125 irritated but unable to 79dd445724 treat Director Son as 9016d00ec3 casually as he did ecc8cfe809 Gi Baekhan—not because Director 6f3b29dbce Son was more intimidating, 28f93922af but because he held a542eb7b3f something Chiyeong needed.7045a8bf618bd86f

He had been d4ef6d9264 planning to seek 2b75cd2bed out Director Son 465ba7e59a anyway. He hadn’t 206117c77f had the 62687bca53 chance to 34fd165699 discuss the c8257d63c0 mission details 159f163831 earlier.2eded25a322e6244

Without much resistance, ebf698b8b6 Chiyeong walked meekly feda35bd30 under Son Jinhwa’s 5ee8602785 arm, unaware of dd6bf85eb3 the way he 332824ff20 was being watched.3ba09accd1481935

Maybe he a1e0a9c2f7 needed to 885c594170 revise his c59a6ef304 earlier assessment. There was something 025539b580 unsettlingly creepy about 2e620a5c00 Director Son’s annoyance, efbb8ebf09 something Gi Baekhan b0f82a46fe lacked.79146d17eb21124b
