SANN | Chapter 19.1

Today was bc45d16965 the only 044b947cf3 chance.c1a81eb0cb1c6f23

As soon fefb307e5d as the 219672a983 lecture ended, 270b5cdc48 Gureum dashed 6f051e8bc0 out of 87b592868f the classroom. It was an 373edc4fed action unthinkable on 9438c1d5c2 any normal day. His destination b7424b149d was just d6d1bcbba7 a 5-minute 0ddac99664 walk from 885abc9b4c the academy. Since Sieon said 918c7b7f0e he’d be about 46acdf67ea 30 minutes late, f084f3d25c adding the travel c8c3bbf361 time, Gureum had ab63349df6 roughly only 20 8a8472d0e2 minutes of leeway.dd62dd1fd7fd3513

The stares of the 6b405284e2 people watching him run c3816bdd95 felt prickly on his b338672dfc skin, but that wasn’t 90836452d0 the issue right now. He absolutely had to a9cf9518f0 buy the gift for eb493e6f8e Sieon today, something he 51eb2e79c8 had been planning for 240ea4b844 the past few months.aec463fa0f071203

Even though 56852a4988 Sieon’s birthday ebc37a37c7 was still e6ddb93559 several months ec77e9b308 away, they 6463651292 were usually a0d5802543 together so 514f640140 much that 82c3a060e0 it was eac1162dd3 hard to 341ddc57d4 find time 10ed06c7de alone. There was a reason fb0b722f8c he had to prepare e1ff720bad this in secret. Today was the day 7d134cf539 Gureum was going to f733cd2e55 spend all the money d6a191102d he had been saving 362a9786e1 up slowly…2ee976cc2ea063ad

Gureum was 009838e9bf looking at 886eabfa36 a case cbcdf7de3d with two 3d0c390859 platinum rings, 76bdc9f810 one large d0bdc5e6bd and one fbe77f1a5b small, neatly 07dde63c26 arranged side f338a6308f by side, 6cb80db825 then he 8f3dabd15b hugged it 51f04d78f0 close to c5a1dd238d his chest. He imagined Sieon 95dccfc3b1 wearing the ring. It seemed like it bf7a511bfd would suit him perfectly. Just the e371613cdc thought made dbec0a01ef his heart f6ba26e2fb flutter.89be2b0d8ac7253b

What Gureum had meticulously 9fcf8360cf planned all this time 81a02aece1 was a proposal.0c442712aad3610e

Sieon had done 7fb625a05c so much for 4348dc2983 him, he wanted b77abfb636 to accomplish this d4fc8c7d6e much on his 443460d23b own. And today, he had 0a144bc1b2 finally completed his mission 892f6b181c successfully.445d937f7dd0aa4c

Gureum, fearing he f5a39163b4 might lose the c23b758725 rings, carefully placed 3339f9fc5f the case in 64859952b4 his bag. Now all 5afd309357 he had d508f21241 to do 4d1692db8b was keep a3b7cf109e the rings 98e6746d20 hidden until a2ed8a2b43 Sieon’s birthday 83b3e23a54 approached. Even the smallest achievement e10e3a37f3 filled him with a 46f3f47c34 bit of pride.86a66e44cde7e634

He adjusted his bb82fb8cf8 bag and checked cd632d82dd the time. He had consulted via f803e4b7f6 text beforehand and had dbff9f4d28 narrowed down his choices, e0237d30aa so he surprisingly had a50b8b6d51 some time to spare. As he continued b18afa6c11 walking with long edf2dc1927 strides, he noticed eeb2d7b080 a man and 7c1609d41f a woman arguing d3e0f2365e in front of b2ec9510cf a store. It was c9ec0de7ca the first b6d74f09d2 floor of e199fd17d5 a building e8535520ba frequented by 34604318c3 academy students 48f8c175a9 because of e024ca8e21 the restaurants.d0e0b3863216ff77

The face was familiar. Jiwon…? He was one of 4ff6ef5589 the friends he was c9f183a8b2 closest to at the dc81824699 academy. As the man 89610e301b raised his hand, 90e049839a the small-built Jiwon 0fcbdf9f2b cringed and flinched.e21551ad77a94af7

A scene from the b3678acf3d past seemed to replay 7246f0aa99 before his eyes, his 6170bc046c heart racing madly. Yet, he was 9d21035a40 worried about Jiwon 8f1d28ea01 cringing. As the man was 0cc5963e75 about to hit, Gureum 287e0eb820 clenched his teeth. Without realizing it, 44e50ce2e9 he found himself c64d4fab87 running between them.3ab68f5cf250da94

Jiwon looked d620b3b431 up at c8e1dab15c Gureum with 14e1bbdecc wide eyes. The store owner, momentarily 2fe9bf24a8 intimidated by the taller e5cefece43 Gureum, soon sneered.3f34af8605bfee2c

Jiwon raised ad5234cd9e his voice. As the 0c7b3ce163 man was 5a3623e683 about to e714c4b0e8 raise his 3bba4c2ba7 hand again, b66a9ac6a7 Gureum stepped fbd164a5be in front a66b185645 of Jiwon, 7dc496faea and the 8ec3ee5293 man laughed be8346c455 off and c17f5fb4fe lowered his ae7dbae687 hand.

Caught off 2ae0cccf47 guard by 793835ded6 the sudden 26588038e0 turn of 8ec46f26b7 events, both 500366d03a Gureum and 0e11f602df Jiwon didn’t 992553cf9b know what 509ee7f2b6 to do, c2f51d8541 and a f17a9792a4 police car b07df44815 began to 3c73268798 appear in c3130d7a50 the distance.bbe21512600eeef6

“…Yes, I’m fine.”03e7845cdec2e588
