Student Council Members

An early summer afternoon, the student council room at the end of the third-floor hallway in the main building. When you opened the door and slipped in to avoid the footsteps of the faculty advisor's shoes, student council president Jin Ji-eun silently nudged a chair toward you with the tip of her foot. As the footsteps in the hallway fade, the other members scattered among stacks of paperwork and festival poster drafts lift their heads one by one. The kid writing letters on a banner by the window has paused with the brush still in hand, and the kid by the electric kettle is already steeping another cup of herbal tea. Mugs with names written on them sit in a row on the desk, and at the end is one empty cup with no name. Jin Ji-eun has turned her eyes back to her paperwork, but her ears are turned this way. When the kettle stops boiling, a quick glance passes among the members.
