UNDER SUPERVISION [COMPLETED]

08 - Checking around

Chan's POV

Day 2 of being here.

"I'm sorry Chan, I have 2 more lectures today," Professor Choi apologised. He picked up a clipboard and his sleekly designed laptop before smiling sadly at me. "I'll treat you tomorrow alright?"

And off he went in a hurried manner. Out of the faculty room he brought me into after having breakfast. Nothing really stood out in the space. Looked like everywhere else I had been introduced to. White walls complimented by the grey and black highlights. There were a few pops off colour but that was due to the presence of a few bean bags in the corner and some of the items placed on each desk.

Maybe there's no one here, so I'll just head somewhere else. It'll be much more interesting there than here.

First floor and the familiar sliding door of the 'Med Bay' where the nurse  was. Instead of seeing a sight like yesterday where Umji was talking to Hoshi-ssi? I saw Umji laughing at a sentence the much taller woman infront of her told. She wore a sleeveless shirt and jeans. But after taking a much closer look. Something felt off.

Why is Umji's hand grey?

"Oh, good morning Chan," Umji greeted me.

"Good morning, Umji."

The taller woman noticed me and also greeted me. Also walking towards me while doing so. She looked at me seriously. I hope I didn't do something wrong yesterday.

"You must be Lee Jung Chan," she started like every other person I've met here. "I'm sorry that BUDDY identified you as a threat."

An apology? Was this to do with yesterday's ent—

"I forgot to introduce myself," she cut off my train of thought. "My name is Kim Sojung but please call me Sowon. I'm also Umji's older sister and the creator of the BUDDY system."

Oh. That's why she was apologising. Maybe she programmed BUDDY with a check list that, if it didn't meet the minimum requirements, caused the programm to identify someone as a threat or something else entirely. Based on what BUDDY said yesterday while giving the evidence, it would make sense. I was caught doing suspicious... killings. Or maybe that's too light of a term for something that involved Scribe.

"Is it okay if I call you on a first name basis?" She asked. I replied with an accepting, 'I don't mind.'

She then followed up with, "Have you gone to the archive room yet?"

"No."

Archive room? Was that where they stored other information in regards to the cases and other things?

She pressed her hands together.

"That's a must!"

"Please follow me, Chan."

We went up to the 13th floor via one of the lifts. Nobody held any small talk which is personally great. 

Exiting the small space into a corridor, Sowon-ssi turned back towards me as she kept on walking.

"This is the first archive room at HYBE. You will give details about your ability, Scribe's Text. So it's within the company's data."

She opened the door with the words 'ARCHIVE ONE' plastered in a vertical billboard manner.

The room was sprawled with different files and papers on floors and many shelves were placed around the room. With the center piece being a small desk with a PC and monitor, surrounded by stacks of papers.

"Let me help."

The same brunette from yesterday that accompanied the bleached haired man called Jeonghan. It was Joshua. Helping a shorter guy with placing a binder on the highest part of the shelf.

"Normally, I would be mad but I don't have the energy to do so," the much more lighter brunette yapped.

Joshua then saw us both.

"Oh hello again, how was your morning?"

WOOH! Uhhh I haven't actually finished more of the plot points soo uhhh. By the time someone reads this I would've published this like a day later from the currently 11 Oct that's only one hour earlier than KST time. (I'm sure that T in KST means Time but lettuce ignore.)

Uhhh have a simple day ahead of you.
