The final exams ended, and winter arrived.
The last semester of the 45th Disciplinary Head s term was successfully concluded.
During the winter break, the Disciplinary Committee would elect a new 46th Disciplinary Head.
It was now December 31st, and the Disciplinary Committee members gathered for a year-end party to close out the year.
"Why is the Head in a relationship!? Huh!?"
Haye-song shouted, pointing at Woo-jin with a chicken drumstick bone.
"A couple, a couple! That s against the school rules! But since it s between you and Baek-seo, no one can say anything! Is this what it feels like when your family member becomes a criminal?"
"Wasn t that rule abolished? It didn t align with Neo Seoul s ideology…."
"And the abolition was probably pushed through secretly by you, right, Head? Otherwise, how could it happen so conveniently!? Is this the authority of Neo Seoul s strongest!? I m so jealous… Huh? Where are you going, Baek-seo?"
In the middle of the gathering, Oh Baek-seo began packing her things and stood up.
Park Min-hyuk and Yoo Do-ha, having already heard from Baek-seo, were ready to let her go. But Haye-song, too busy complaining to Woo-jin, hadn t noticed.
I think she s tired from finishing the last bit of work. Sorry, but I need to head home and rest.
"Baek-seo, you worked hard. It s a shame to miss the year-end party, but we ll see each other again soon! Take care!"
Haye-song cheerfully let her leave.
Woo-jin, on the other hand, looked surprised.
Were you that tired? Sorry, I didn t notice.
No worries. Enjoy yourself.
Baek-seo placed a hand on Woo-jin s shoulder and whispered something to him.
I ll be waiting.
Waiting? What did she mean by that?
Uh… okay. Get some rest.
Since Baek-seo and Woo-jin lived next door to each other, her comment about heading home first didn t seem odd to him.
With a meaningful smile, Baek-seo left the party.
"Head… do you think someone like me could ever be in a relationship?"
Out of nowhere, Park Min-hyuk asked, looking glum.
It seemed he was feeling lonely, given it was the end of the year.
I expect the effect of the rule abolition will be significant. People will loosen up. Or you could try picking someone up here.
I-I m not brave enough for that…!"
At that moment, Haye-song burst out laughing and pointed at Min-hyuk.
Min-hyuk, picking someone up!? What did that poor girl do to deserve that!?
