Chapter Index

    “… … What are you saying now?”

    Senior Joohee, who was about to open her mouth wide to eat a sandwich, suddenly stopped and looked at me.

    You must have heard it.

    But I still insisted on saying it again.

    “Please teach me how to kill people.”

    “I don’t know about that either, Woojin.”

    “Please tell me. There is too much trash in the world. Killing them would definitely help society.”

    “I understand it’s hard because of the group project, but killing someone is still illegal.”

    “I see.”

    He sighs, covering his face.

    I don’t know how many times I’ve been this stressed out.

    “This assignment has a low score, should I just blow it up?”

    “The score is divided by a small difference. Everyone is running at full speed, but if you take a short break, how are you going to make up for it?”

    embrace.

    I know that too.

    So, isn’t that why you’re receiving counseling here?

    “I’m really trying to respect my senior.”

    The grandeur of leading the group project as the captain was beyond words.

    With his charisma, he dominated the Han River and chased away the second-year female seniors, completing the assignment perfectly.

    In the end, it ended on a warm note with me getting an A+.

    “You can do it too. Just tell them to trust you and lead them. You have that much ability.”

    “If we can meet, we can meet.”

    The promise was broken three times.

    We decided to just meet up after class, so we ended up starting off with a week less than everyone else.

    “So are you going to the lecture today?”

    “Yes, if you don’t come out today, I’ll really ask you to change the group. I can’t do this anymore.”

    “It’s a bit severe.”

    I’m glad that my senior, Joohee, sympathized with me a little bit. My senior bought me a cup of coffee to cheer me up, so I took it into the classroom.

    Choi Yi-seo was surrounded by her crew members, and she definitely gave off an elite vibe.

    ‘Why don’t I have one of those?’

    Cao Cao’s feelings towards Liu Bei.

    No, but Cao Cao also had many talented people.

    Why is there no talent in our Group F?

    There are many man-made disasters.

    They’re just a bunch of disasters.

    Looking at the classroom, it seemed like everyone was gathered in groups. The other groups were all actively discussing and working hard.

    Normally we don’t sit together during class time, but they are all great.

    There seemed to be about a hundred people in there, and they all looked smart.

    Is this the sacrifice of the minority by the majority?

    Will I be able to take away all the evil in this classroom and create a world where everyone is happy?

    ‘Fuck, I want to be happy too.’

    Fortunately, since we’re all gathered in groups, the dregs of Group F are clearly visible.

    “Hello. Are you in Group F?”

    When I say hello, everyone looks puzzled. It seems like they didn’t realize they were gathered here.

    “Yes, my name is Hwang In-woo, a third-year student in the Department of Construction Engineering.”

    Hwang In-woo suddenly stood up and greeted everyone. He was one of the couple.

    “I am Jeong-ah Heo, a second-year student in the Department of Civil Engineering.”

    I also greeted the woman sitting next to me.

    “… … Construction and engineering?”

    It was a face I had even seen somewhere.

    Both of them.

    I thought it was when I went to play with Jeong Chan-woo. When I tried to recall my memories, it came to mind right away.

    ‘Aren’t you the ones who cheated on me and abandoned Chanwoo?!’

    At that time, I barely managed to stop Yoo Ah-rin from going wild and threatening to hit those guys at the cafe.

    It seems like they don’t remember me. At that time, I was buried in Jung Chan-woo and Yoo Ah-rin and kept quiet.

    ‘I heard you broke up.’

    I heard that Heo Jeong-ah broke up with Hwang In-woo because she still had feelings for Chan-woo.

    It looks like they’ve reunited.

    ‘They were a bunch of fucking bastards.’

    Of course, Chanwoo didn’t seem too hurt because he started dating another girlfriend a few days later.

    Anyway, my already shallow faith in those two became even shallower.

    The other two also stood out in several ways.

    Dong-gyu Lim, who only gave short answers.

    What made me feel a little dizzy the moment I saw it was the bag dangling with goods featuring half-naked anime characters.

    “My name is Dong-gyu Lim from the Japanese Language Education Department.”

    He just says hello briefly and then immediately turns his attention to his cell phone.

    He was watching the anime intently and put his earphones in his ears without even listening to my answer.

    Finally, a woman who has decorated herself to the fullest.

    He was so handsome that I thought he might be a model, and he sat down next to me with a charming smile.

    “This is Yeonyoung and Shin Serim. We are in the second year.”

    “Oh, yes.”

    This kid just keeps sending rabbit emoticons. I thought he was the only one I could have a conversation with.

    “You’re Kim Woojin, right? It’s been really hot lately, right?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    “Wow, I didn’t know from the chat, but looking at you like this, you’re really handsome.”

    “… … .”

    What the heck is this?

    It’s a bit too clingy.

    “Yes, I see. Thank you.”

    When I respond by gently pushing her away, Shin Se-rim raises her thumb.

    “Please take good care of me since you are the leader. Actually, I’ve been a bit busy lately.”

    “Are you busy?”

    “Yes, I was cast by a planning company this time. Since I have a lot of meetings and lessons-.”

    therefore.

    Are you saying that this girl is busy right now and should just do it on her own?

    “It’s really cool how you do everything you have to do even though you’re busy.”

    “Yes… … .”

    You could tell them to stop being so annoying, but aren’t they the ones you have to go with anyway?

    Next is a year with a time difference of about a day.

    ‘He didn’t come.’

    Yeah, I knew it.

    This girl seems to plan on going to school her whole life.

    While I was swearing to myself like that, the professor came in right before I did and sat down next to us.

    “This is Bang Da-ye. I’m from the Moon Chang Department.”

    An ordinary-looking woman.

    She was the kind of girl you’d see anywhere, so it was a little jarring that she ignored my messages like that.

    It looks like he’ll be a regular wherever he goes.

    Anyway, finally our Group F is all gathered together.

    Even trash cans can become the Avengers if they gather together. If they gather together, can’t they become anything?

    * * *

    After the lecture, I grabbed all the kids who were trying to sneak away and sat them down.

    “Our group is a week behind the other groups, right? I decided on the topic, too. So let’s start with dividing up the roles.”

    Everyone answered calmly.

    I feel like all my strength is drained from my body, but I try to keep going for now.

    “First, the two of you need to do the data research, right? You can classify it by topic and do your own part.”

    Suddenly, two hands are raised.

    The couple is Heo Jeong-ah and Hwang In-woo.

    “We will do it.”

    “That’s right, since we’re a couple, I think we can just find it by sharing it together.”

    “No, I’ve seen a lot of people who do that and then play around without even looking for information. That won’t work.”

    “What is it?”

    “No, we don’t do that.”

    I really want to say something really harsh.

    ‘It’s really uncomfortable to have your face known.’

    If you make a fuss here, you never know what kind of rumors might spread, saying you’re the youngest member of the space group.

    “Then I’ll do it.”

    At that moment, Shin Se-rim raised her hand.

    “Yes, with Se-rim-.”

    It was obvious that Heo Jeong-ah disliked Shin Se-rim. Did she not like the way she was dressed up?

    “Inwoo, please do it.”

    “Mr. Inwoo, please take good care of me.”

    “Yes, yes! Please take care of it.”

    Shin Se-rim flirts with Hwang In-woo and winks. Heo Jeong-ah is dumbfounded, but Hwang In-woo smiles and seems pleased.

    ‘… … Did I put it wrong?’

    But if you put Heo Jeong-ah and Hwang In-woo together, it seems like they’ll be playing around openly.

    “Data organization and collation, PPT, presentation left? Is there anything you want to do?”

    “Me, I’ll organize the data.”

    Heo Jeong-ah raises her hand.

    ‘Oh, I don’t know.’

    I don’t know anymore.

    Since he’s the one who wants to do it, we have to make him do it.

    “Okay, go ahead.”

    Now there are only two left.

    Lim Dong-gyu and Bang Da-ye.

    After seeing that there was still a PPT and presentation left, Donggyu Lim raised his hand.

    “I will do PPT.”

    “Yes, okay. Donggyu will do the PPT and then Daye will do the presentation.”

    “I can’t give a presentation.”

    “… … .”

    As I stared at Bang Da-ye, he stared at me in return.

    I feel like poking him in the eye and asking him what he’s looking at, but I hold back and say it.

    “But why didn’t you say you wanted to do something else?”

    “Other things are a bit ambiguous too.”

    “Then what are you going to do?”

    “But what does the team leader do? Doesn’t the team leader usually make announcements?”

    “I have to write a report summarizing what you all made. The professor said he would give me extra points if I did that.”

    “… … But I really can’t make a presentation.”

    “Ms. Daye.”

    “Yes?”

    “Just do it.”

    If you don’t want to fall behind.

    “I’d rather do some research myself.”

    “… … Then, would you like to present, Inwoo?”

    It turned out well.

    I was a bit annoyed that Hwang In-woo and Shin Se-rim were stuck together, but I think it would be okay to keep them apart.

    “Yes? I’m going to do some research.”

    “Well, what about Se-rim?”

    “Yes, it’s okay. I’ll announce it.”

    Shin Se-rim looks better.

    It’s the least trash among trash.

    “Okay, then. Inwoo and Daye, do the research. Please take it, have Jeong-ah pick out the useful ones, organize the data, and give it to Dong-gyu so he can make a PPT. Se-rim will do the presentation. Let’s organize the script together and make it.”

    Okay.

    In this way, each person’s role was determined.

    At least we’ve overcome one big hurdle.

    I thought so.

    * * *

    5pm the next day.

    A message came to me.

    – Heo Jeong-ah: Please take that assignment off.

    “This fucking bitch.”

    – Kim Woo-jin: Why?

    -Huh Jung -ah: If you ask Hwang In -woo chew.

    I check the profile picture with a skeptical mind.

    ‘Oh, I’m done.’

    These kids broke up.

    Until yesterday, he was biting, sucking, and making a fuss.

    I contacted Hwang In-woo right away.

    – Kim Woo-jin: In-woo, what do you mean by Jeong-ah quitting?

    – Kim Woo-jin: You two broke up? But that’s not right.

    – Hwang In-woo: I don’t mind. I can do my homework well. But he misunderstands and makes a fuss on his own, so that’s why.

    – Hwang In-woo: No, shouldn’t you be able to contact your teammates? Was it wrong for Se-rim to comfort him when he was having a hard time because he couldn’t do well in his presentation?

    – Kim Woo-jin: … … Did Se-rim send a text message to In-woo?

    – Hwang In-woo: Yes.

    good night.

    Oh, okay.

    Let’s see how far we can go.

    – Kim Woo-jin: Se-rim, did you send a message to Hwang In-woo?

    – Shin Se-rim: Yes, I just wanted to get some comfort because I thought it would be difficult to present.

    – Kim Woo-jin: Tell that to the leader.

    – Shin Se-rim: I didn’t think the leader would accept it.

    I felt awkward towards Hwang In-woo because I thought he would build a wall?

    Just looking at this bitch, it looks like she’s just playing around.

    ‘Why are there so many kids like this at our school?’

    Or is it just near me?

    When I went to the classroom, everyone seemed to be really good at studying.

    – Shin Se-rim: Anyway, it was a misunderstanding. I have never seen Hwang In-woo as a man.

    ‘Heo Jeong-ah, is it because you have a history of cheating that you are sensitive to this kind of thing?’

    No, but this bitch who secretly texted a guy who had a girlfriend is funny.

    First, I’ll try contacting other crew members.

    – Kim Woo-jin: Ms. Daye, have you done your research?

    There was no reply.

    – Kim Woo-jin: If you don’t reply within 5 seconds, your team name will be removed.

    – Bang Da-ye: Why are you speaking informally?

    – Kim Woo-jin: I thought you didn’t want to do group projects.

    – Bang Da-ye: I’m doing it now.

    – Kim Woo-jin: Yes. Don’t send it to Heo Jeong-ah. Send it to me.

    – Bang Da-ye: Why?

    – Kim Woo-jin: You fucking bitch, just do what I tell you to do. Don’t ask annoying questions.

    Next, I was trying to contact Dong-gyu Lim, but then I got a text message.

    – Dong-gyu Lim: Sir, here is the PPT draft.

    The data probably hasn’t arrived yet.

    I took a quick look because I was curious how it was made.

    – Kim Woo-jin: … … Dong-gyu, there are too many anime characters in it.

    – Dong-gyu Lim: Is it bad? Isn’t it cute?

    – Kim Woo-jin: I don’t think it will look good, Professor.

    – Lim Dong-gyu: ??? Isn’t it cute? Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t like cute things?

    – Kim Woo-jin: I like anime too, right? But I don’t think it’s right to include it until it’s announced like this.

    – Dong-gyu Lim: What kind of anime do you like?

    – Woojin Kim: Remove all the anime characters from the PPT.

    – Dong-gyu Lim: Please don’t discriminate. It seems like you have some strange preconceptions about anime.

    -The fuck, I don’t swear at your hobby.

    Oh, I really can’t stand it.

    [Team project for Humanities Group F.]

    – Kim Woo-jin: Let’s all do it together. Yeah, shit, I can’t do it. Don’t do group projects.

    – Hwang In-woo: ??? Yes? Why all of a sudden? I’m doing everything right?

    – Heo Jeong-ah: Go to hell. This is why you’re getting into trouble, because you’re picking up girls or picking on women during group projects. Oh my, you idiot.

    – Hwang In-woo: Heo Jeong-ah, be careful what you say. Who is seducing whom? We just chatted a few times.

    – Shin Se-rim: (emoticon)

    – Heo Jeong-ah: You’re seducing other people’s men and using emoticons to make a fuss.

    – Shin Se-rim: I’ve never flirted with her before haha

    – Heo Jeong-ah: Oh yeah

    – Shin Se-rim: Haha; Ugly kids tend to have a strong sense of entitlement.

    – Kim Woo-jin: You guys go have a fight amongst yourselves. I’ll go to the professor and tell him everything and ask him to just leave me alone.

    – Kim Woo-jin: I’ll just take care of the credits on my own, so you guys figure it out.

    – Kim Woo-jin: And if any of the kids here pass by and meet me, I’ll kill them.

    -Kim Woo -jin: You can open your eyes.

    I put on my clothes and ran to the professor’s lab. Luckily, he hadn’t left work yet.

    I have told you all the unbelievable tragedies I have experienced so far.

    “I see.”

    The professor nodded.

    “But it seems like it would be difficult to separate the group.”

    “… … Yes?”

    What is this?

    “Because it’s unfair. Anyway, since it’s a group project, we have to do it among team members.”

    “… … .”

    “Even if you do it alone, I will grade it by comparing it with other students. If it is not something you can do alone to the level of other teams-.”

    Just do it.

    That’s what he was saying.

    The emotions shown in the eyes are annoying.

    A pitiful look at me, asking why I was wasting my time on something like this.

    ‘ah.’

    I’ve heard it somewhere.

    Group projects are hell for students, but they say there is nothing easier for professors.

    okay.

    I should have known when I saw the group project assigned at the beginning of the semester.

    “Huh.”

    In the end, I couldn’t get anything and just let out a hollow laugh.

    “Hehe, hahaha-!”

    I feel like this is really real.

    “… … Yeah.”

    I really wanted to have a normal college life.

    “Okay, this is it.”

    I really, really wanted to live a quiet college life.

    You guys are the ones who started it.

    “You’re going to beg me to do your homework, you little shits.”

    If you keep going like this, I’ll force you to take the wheel.

    It’s not about grades anymore.

    I’m going to somehow fix these damn bastards.

    For society.

    The team room has already been blown up.

    I bit my lip and created another chat room.

    [Bamboo Forest Manager and Caretaker Chat Room]

    – Kim Woo-jin: We’re having a company dinner today.

    – Kim Woo-jin: Everyone, please attend.

    – Yoo Ah-rin: ? What is it?

    – Min Joo-hee: ??? Woo-jin? No, A-rin is here too?

    – Yoo Ah-rin: Was senior Joo-hee also a manager?

    – Minjuhee: Yeah, number 2. What about you, Arin?

    – Yoo Ah-rin: … … .

    – Yoo Ah-rin: Number one.

    – Min Joo-hee: … … .

    – Yoo Ah-rin: … … .

    There was an awkward silence as Yoo Ah-rin often had to discipline her juniors as managers.

    anyway.

    That’s not the point.

    – Yoo Ah-rin: Who is Manager 3?

    – Yoo Ah-rin: Moon Young-soo?

    – Moon Young-soo: Student Woojin, what’s going on?

    – Kim Woo-jin: Today is a company dinner.

    – Kim Woo-jin: You should come.

    – Kim Woo-jin: President.

    If you don’t want it to be known that you were causing trouble in the bamboo forest, you absolutely must attend.
