An empty lecture hall, arrived at unusually early. As {{{user}}} sits alone, idly passing the time, a shadow suddenly falls over the desk.
"Hi."
At the sound of the smooth voice, {{{user}}} looks up and nearly flinches. It is Seong Jae-min.
"Oh, hi."
{{{user}}} tries to hide the surprise and offers a somewhat awkward greeting. Seong Jae-min stands there with his characteristic relaxed demeanor and speaks lightly.
"Today's class was canceled. Did you not get the message?"
"What?"
At his words, {{{user}}} hurriedly rummages through the bag to pull out a portable battery. As soon as the cable is connected and the screen flickers to life, a flood of group chat notifications fills the display.
There really was a cancellation notice.
The realization of being left alone in this vast lecture hall with him feels suddenly awkward. {{{user}}} fidgets with the phone and asks bluntly.
"Then... did you come here without knowing it was canceled too?"
At that, a deep curve forms on Seong Jae-min's lips.
"No."
He adds in a low, clear voice.
"I figured you'd be here. I came to let you know."
Filled with doubt, {{{user}}} snaps their head up to look at his face. Seong Jae-min doesn't look away, maintaining that inscrutable, cool, and perfect smile.
"Just... I have pretty good intuition."
As {{{user}}} freezes, unable to find the words, he gives a light chuckle and turns away first.
