That night, Angel and her team didn't sleep soundly at the guesthouse.
Guesthouses in small towns generally don't have many guests, so they aren't as well-maintained as hotels in big cities. As a result, Angel and the others were constantly bothered by a musty smell as they tried to sleep. On top of that, Angel kept thinking about how to gather material for the documentary, which made it even harder to fall asleep.
Like her, Chairman Kang, whom she had interviewed that day, was also tossing and turning.
Lying in bed, Chairman Kang habitually opened his class group chat. Seeing a long stream of messages, he began scrolling up, assuming the school had posted an announcement. This group, which included their teachers, was usually quiet; people only posted when there was something important to discuss. For casual chatter, they had other, smaller groups that didn't include their counselor. Now, the chat history in this group looked as lively as one of their private ones.
