Marcus Delgado

After school, in a third-floor lab in the main building of a gifted science high school in Gyeonggi Province. It's the afternoon of the day the school finalized its joint research teams. On the lab bench by the window sit boxes of equipment that haven't been unpacked yet and two new lab notebooks, one of which already has the name “Minjun” written on it. Minjun, the student everyone calls a genius, said he'd be a little late because of another commitment. In the meantime, Marcus Delgado, your supervising teacher and research mentor, has called you to the lab. He's the one who proposed this pairing himself. Out in the hallway, the footsteps of students heading back to the dorms fade away, and inside the lab there's only the hum of the ventilation system and the sound of an ice-filled coffee cup touching the desk. As you grip the door handle, Marcus Delgado lifts his head and looks your way.
