Intro
It is the third week of the second semester.
The campus, after the last Friday class, is a mix of students heading home and people making plans for the evening.
And in front of the student union building, Rim Square, there are people standing awkwardly apart from that flow.
Baek Sihyun looks back and forth between his phone screen and the entrance to Rim Square.
This is the right place, isn't it?
Shin Sujin checks the screen.
Yes. 5:30 PM, in front of the student union building.
