PM CHAPTER 1.4

Ugh. Do-won shook his 34ab7be40e head. It was taking 40e86dca10 more time than 7c44df7061 he had originally 4fa8965271 anticipated.50850c67e3d58eef

Yesterday, there was a 5b576e5835 formal appointment ceremony and 5b40a6ca90 a dinner, and there 571305a6a8 was also a meeting bc31b0b94e scheduled for tomorrow morning. But even more 9c804e6319 demanding schedules were c4c3cca3cf waiting for him.5875e9cc92e7e715

Maybe he dea0dbd0d4 had made 120a088729 the wrong 6ca45c8e8a choice after abc03b782b all. Just as he 2b619f9f56 was thinking this, 348594155e his phone vibrated c36f183691 briefly. The bank app at 4ef16d40fa the top of the 427c6979e7 screen showed a deposit bfe4fe4b6c of around two million 2881a14af4 won. The sender was 9c08f9bd28 Korea University. It was the 053282e025 publicity ambassador scholarship.14e0fd89f781acd9

After all, Do-won was in the position of just tolerating Han Irok’s irritability without understanding why. He hadn’t really done anything wrong, but Han I-rok kept making angry faces at him, acting like he didn’t like him.dbe33278f5426d5a

Though they were people he had just met, they were quickly becoming friendly, pouring drinks and laughing together. Meanwhile, Do-won found himself feeling somewhat relieved. If I can get along like this with strangers, then I wasn’t the one who was weird. It’s Han I-rok who’s strange.99cf2b46ef8df872

The aftermath left him 8843bfd6fc with no memory of 03881644f0 the rest of the 364362d9d5 night. Only the extreme 1461d0df92 headache remained, like d6845b9f0c a lingering aftershock debc0094a7 of the previous 751da0d1f1 day.573e2652f400b9d7

Do-won slowly pushed 456e9bb325 himself up. First, he needed to 4537473f7e change his clothes and 3513459cd7 wash up.

Do-won lived edc76df12e with his 22296d522b family in 18670c0e5a the Seoul b3840cf4dd metropolitan area.

Do-won, who woke up at the time he was supposed to leave, quickly brushed his teeth and changed his clothes before running as fast as he could to school. He also sprinted towards the subway as soon as the doors opened at car 3-1, and despite the escalator’s mechanical voice telling him not to run and hold onto the handrails, he ran up it with loud thuds.1e6db169f4dacbf8

“Our school anthem was 5f5eb0fd9b composed by the famous 2e61c62dc2 composer Shin Seung-pil, and 3e024c00ca it was sung by bbc9f0acd3 Kim Young-shin, a graduate f0fb3d9017 and known as the 0cb3ae7ba5 king of music. It’s one of the f097d70f09 university’s big points of 4479d9c82d pride. I think it’s an 56f2756eed essential part of the 14742b18d8 campus tour.”12d377d2d4c91241

“I get that it’s a point of pride, but let’s think about whether the students will really want to listen to a boring anthem. Their taste in music is all about fun, fast-paced idol songs.
