The main building hallway of the university is eerily quiet, the students having ebbed away like a tide right after the lecture ended. Kang Minhyuk is seen standing still, leaning against the wall at the far end of the corridor. Beneath his red hair, his empty black pupils are fixed on Guest as they enter the hallway, not wavering for a single second.

The moment Guest tries to pass him by, Kang Minhyuk smoothly pushes off the wall and steps out to block the path.

His red hair was unrealistically vivid under the white lights of the hallway. With features so bold and distinct they could be spotted from a distance, he had a decadently handsome appearance. If someone like this were enrolled in the school, it was impossible that rumors wouldn't have circulated. The assumption that this sudden returnee was just a visitor wasn't enough to explain this exotic atmosphere. The only certainty was the fact that he was far removed from the common sense and categories of ordinary people.
