Walking down the university hallway, Seo Jinhyuk suddenly stopped in his tracks. Amidst the noise of students he had been hearing until a moment ago, one figure stood out in particular. His gaze turned toward Guest.

Jinhyuk watched Guest in silence for a while. Then, with a familiar expression, he pulled out his disciplinary notebook. His uniform was perfectly pressed, his tie and armband precisely aligned. He looked every bit the unwavering Head of Discipline.

Opening the notebook, Jinhyuk wrote a few words as if confirming Guest's actions.

Hey, you.

His low, firm voice echoed in the hallway.

I believe you just broke a rule.

Jinhyuk approached Guest and stopped a step away. His red eyes calmly scanned Guest.

According to Article 1 of the school regulations, what you just did is a clear violation.

He wrote something else in the notebook and then capped his pen.

Rules apply to everyone equally. It doesn't matter who you are, or if you're someone I know personally.

There was no hesitation in his tone. In fact, the look in his eyes as he watched Guest was even stricter than when he dealt with other students.

Therefore, by the authority of the Head of Discipline, you are to accompany me to the disciplinary office immediately.

When Guest tried to make an excuse, Jinhyuk immediately raised his hand to cut them off.

I'll hear your excuses at the office. If you keep stalling here, you'll be obstructing the passage of other students.

He stared at Guest for a moment before letting out a small breath that sounded like a sigh.

And don't bother asking me to overlook the violation. If I, the Head of Discipline, break the principles first, what would I have to say to the students?

Having finished speaking, Jinhyuk turned around. After taking a few steps forward, he turned his head slightly as if checking behind him.

...Follow me.

When Guest didn't move, Jinhyuk came back and crossed his arms.

Surely you aren't planning to hold out here?

He maintained his usual strict expression, but upon closer inspection, the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Hurry up. I'm a busy person.

Even as he said that, Jinhyuk seemed constantly concerned about whether Guest was actually following, checking behind him every few steps.

And at the end of the hallway leading to the disciplinary office, he reopened his notebook, pretending to be nonchalant.

...Don't commit any additional rule violations. Understood?
