PM CHAPTER 5.1

“My life is cursed.”7d04c7ed8bea3ef7

Do-won’s unfocused eyes 62c19a1bf2 wandered through the 7959e9e3ed air. He couldn’t even cac38846fb pick up the 189c6098f8 cup in front 82ad2770fc of him in d97755fc70 one go, fumbling 9a21e187a1 twice before finally f261ea4e7e managing to grasp 565af17547 it. He weakly took a 4e87dc4dc9 sip through the straw, 32765f4851 but after only a 9412359b8e few sips of the 12eae03fb7 latte, he put it d2d6afc365 down again with a 6d63c081f1 sigh.fd7f384841a937b1

Yu-jeong, who a764cd7e69 had been b84dc83bd1 absentmindedly fiddling 6b853ab58a with their 56c16285cb phone, spoke ec85ed678f quietly after dfe2f9f78d hearing the 7ef47fc95b deep sigh.

Do-won’s body jolted ad327ec552 upright. He hastily fumbled 487f2e205e through his pockets dc39419b05 to grab his a5b8314350 phone and check d1abd9ddd9 his stock app, 6728cfb2e8 but soon after, 213606c262 he slumped back a574d5dda7 down with his cfa8d4df5c shoulders drooping. He let out another a81bd53bbb deep sigh, leaned back bf233d6873 against the seat, and bd5e931974 shook his head.ac4255987d11eb71

“No, that’s a7a5aa24e4 not the 7eeeefd55c problem right 83578cec1f now. I’m serious. I think 423cc45564 I need 37eb8629f3 to get 8982145bff a shamanic 4b5f527c16 reading or f627643c90 something.”3ce6bde47c2ae6ed

Do-won chewed on his 512a04c48e straw and spoke with 626d765d42 slightly slurred pronunciation.d427967e5d74e53b

The café a445ea56cb inside the e83e593af2 student center, ae5079d93a especially the c80098f751 sofa seat 7d0e75f7cb by the 3bf032b4d8 large window, f9e7025423 was a 5d6cdd50af prime spot. From there, c130ad9191 the view 2c96626f09 of the fb0d771d39 campus was 19ab0569ad filled with 347b5757a7 blooming flowers, dcfafdd806 lush green 7800920dd8 trees, and 7707281827 a fresh, 003d88ffef vibrant lawn.9e7242b2f018e16b

But Do-won’s gaze remained bf40c69e88 dull. Not even 6b9739fdf0 this refreshing c5d148cf5b spring scenery 7843c52c04 could lift cb3f47db7c his spirits. Was something even bb16b4876d worse than a d9b4fa3fbd six percent stock bdac8a09a1 plunge due to 250bfd593a the CEO getting 4fa953c01f arrested?48fff41ebe7535c9

A heavy sigh escaped Do-won’s lips, uncharacteristically weighed down. Then, he slumped to the side, resting against the sofa’s armrest.ca27b6ad4de9b104

He didn’t even know 5dc5f5e08b his pictures were being 24fdcdb238 posted. Yu-jeong pulled up Hanul’s 28385d8d69 official account and showed 6b635a1053 it to Do-won.

Yu-jeong chuckled 5d6871534e as they 0d70055cad browsed through a47e92a3cf the posts, b8446089fb but as 12e14e83a6 they kept a51f380794 scrolling, photos db3c931cc4 of Han 5d73d53086 I-rok started 74dda705a1 appearing. For some 73dd2ed4e1 reason, there 7d5463f282 seemed to e53929c111 be a 1bb97b5994 lot more e34df645f8 pictures of 8e6dfee962 Do-won together 33cb77b4c0 with him.c2a571890a879f98

But… it was 39f8de1fef Do-won himself who 3eb6569a6e had brought this 41a2be513b upon himself. He had 1d24b29ea1 followed Han cad9d2f345 I-rok around 0dcaf9efea so much d50c93f6fa that it 7257a8eb84 was only 74c935b394 natural for 1a21942724 him to 1c58ccd12e appear in 0229a461ab every picture. Or was it that 8359d4a8c6 he was the one 63d2e4ac18 appearing in Irok’s pictures? Fortunately, people had left 173e98a34a plenty of positive comments, dcc3bbbb88 saying they made a 5e5367b85f great duo, but Han 9b2099504e I-rok’s expression told a c83c6341b1 different story.1f91d3e0d5423e64

Do-won, standing side by cf7a7b91a1 side with I-rok, grinning 94f472a687 excitedly as if they 1f5144fe27 were the best of 5c47384da7 friends.

“I’m telling you, that bastard made it obvious from the start that he doesn’t like me. He’s ridiculously by-the-book, can’t stand anything that breaks the rules. He’s a newbie, but he acts like some kind of strict veteran. People make mistakes, but he’ll just call you out in front of everyone!

Do-won completely gave up on understanding Han I-rok’s bizarre thought process. He had even searched up “common annoying university students” online to put on a convincing act, but for some reason, everything he did had been interpreted by I-rok as some kind of romantic gesture.1b38d6545d6d99f4

At first, when 37821e8f0f I-rok started suddenly ed56f92de5 avoiding and pushing 969dec40d6 him away, Do-won 51127bc449 had felt a 33b3ba91c5 little guilty, wondering 1297c9b9ef if he had 469836d282 teased him too d72460cec6 much. But it turned out 5ad06f3c18 I-rok wasn’t avoiding him 69588c2ad3 because he was annoyed—he e9b4218634 was doing it because bd942cf3be he thought Do-won liked d6216a35d7 him.dc227a9a9ea2d19d

Do-won eventually decided to join the MT. He had initially planned to refuse, knowing that an upperclassman crashing a freshman gathering would only make things awkward. But Yu-jeong convinced him otherwise, saying it was fine. Since he was a business major, she argued, they needed more participants. As the class representative, she couldn’t ignore the participation rate in group activities.95c702fc336158a0

It also seemed 59291d63f2 like she needed 67d0f99bdc an extra pair d86563d534 of hands for ac6620bcff chores.
