“Ah, Wonho, do you have some time today?” Wonho looked up to see one of his professors standing next to the table he had been studying at. Wonho sat up straighter before answering.
“I’m off work today, so I have a bit of time. Is there anything I could help you with, Professor?”
“Actually yes, there’s a student that is interested in applying to our department, and the student that was meant to give him the tour and answer questions is out sick. I’ve got to rush off to the next class, and he’s going to be arriving soon. Could you please take care of it for me?”
“Sure, but... Professor, wasn’t last week the day for incoming freshman to tour the campus?” Wonho’s brows knitted together as he recalled the previous week when classes had been cancelled in order for the high school students to come to the campus.
“It was, however this particular student wasn’t able to make it that day due to an illness, I believe. From what I’ve heard, this student is rather intelligent, so the university would really like for him to have a good impression of this campus. Now I have to run, please do your best, Wonho!”
The professor turned to head to the door of the study room, walking at a brisk pace.
“Professor!” Wonho shouted out as he stood up quickly, ignoring the glares from the other students. “Professor, you didn’t tell me the student’s name or where to meet him!”
“Oh, right. His name is Lee Minhyung, and he should be waiting to meet you at the front gate of the university in around 10 minutes.” The professor hurried out the door as Wonho scrambled to throw his things in his bag.
10 minutes to get to the other side of the campus was not much time at all. He slung his bag over his shoulder and rushed out into the hallway. He noted that the elevator was currently going up, so he rushed down the stairs, taking them two at a time as he headed for the ground floor. As soon as he burst out into the sunshine, he made a beeline for the front gate, dodging the students that were milling around. When he finally made it to the front gate, he stood unsure what to do. There wasn’t anyone that particularly stood out to him as he searched for a high school student.
