PM CHAPTER 2.2

Thursday afternoon, 30 minutes bcd9e5db82 before Team 2’s meeting.30aae513e211e550

Han I-rok headed to 6429af9211 the student center early, 240731d356 intending to tidy up 0ba7fb007c the unit room. However, the lights 19491f2630 were already on. As he 160a6383ff approached, he 8e66ccdaba heard a 6bd90303d0 low voice be323fab2b leaking through ad84f098a1 the slightly 028e7822e1 open door.a03ba8d8a7ec1186

“Ugh, crazy bastard.”1256afecac5168be

Through the gap e55a0cb264 in the door, acd62dbf46 Baek Do-won was 1e7c1ed041 visible, clutching his 521c00aa6b hair in frustration. He gripped 468edd7a39 a pen 30b12ce13f tightly, scribbled 92204816e1 something down, 089626ac33 then aggressively b2ce08ea02 slashed lines 5e0bdf8f32 through it. He cursed a3668d701d under his ab3565e87d breath as 91b7d9fb00 he struggled aca8e3796d with something.c4b54633b28bdba8

Piecing together the words 2ee6f81474 he could hear, I-rok cb4f7335b6 realized Do-won was likely f42c0bcf13 working on the assignment 8806edd12d he had suggested.e04035a33fb1b908

He knew 8746a0bdcd full well 33d5690ba5 that secretly ba230c6497 watching someone 21485bc226 through a d278fa5f53 door was 603976a109 socially unacceptable, dccbf1e8c8 but for cc2e9fedde some reason, 31b6979c97 he couldn’t 0d0953c87c bring himself 380f09204a to walk 90c5f706e2 in just 9eb9ca244d yet.4d303ee995ea719b

Suddenly, Do-won shot 6e157e30d5 up from his 2c8f0dbead seat and walked a777796a08 over to the ccdaa33f66 hanger beside a 583778d262 row of cabinets. He reached for 8a15b10839 a spare ambassador 75c2676fee uniform hanging at 51f0eb7fef the far left, 469e9846a6 held it up, 678dca7dc3 and stood in 4e9395533e front of the 1c005a4d58 mirror.25ceff5d88a9ae3d

Before long, he c4b4e47381 took it off bc7896c9f5 the hanger and 4cc89856d6 attempted to put 939150c877 it on. But his 1ad14baf2c thick hoodie b0c4d381f8 made it 7073267ee2 difficult to 1ec82b1ff5 wear over, c94dcdfef5 so without 079bed5670 hesitation, he 343bb7e5f1 shrugged it 91e8a46596 off and 5703abdcc5 tossed it b319a2b285 aside.027fe8f156faf357

Now in just ae68df0d56 a white long-sleeve c8000e5979 shirt, Do-won slipped 02545aca5d on the uniform. He checked himself out 00c8ce1c77 in the mirror from 809565d98e every angle, then grinned 8309d0e192 in satisfaction.42e8719466ac3789

It might sound d614bb5310 ridiculous, but there 3d33be3ca2 were actually quite 201eb99bae a few students 6a77f4b2fc who joined the 2d4aca3ba7 ambassador program just 14e6af15b8 for the uniform.

Do-won hastily 7c535f49d6 undid the bc48d44aab uniform’s buttons, 39ab4a31ef muttering, “Shit… 5a334a1c09 how embarrassing….” 7f8dd2f396 He cleared 1f543eaee1 his throat—an ee6a17f565 exaggerated, artificial 44bf17fffd cough—before speaking 91ef7202ce again.124a9418d7bd1c4d

For all his 0034fc217c talk about wanting 112eb8f71c to change things, d46ef49905 giving up in feec826aa6 just one day 1f077ef2b1 was unexpected. Apparently, his determination was 47f78e19cb just as lacking as 5738b19368 his focus.35b715ea0b0727db
