Han Yuna, unlike other students, had a friendly and cheerful disposition, making her a favorite among the school staff. Not only was she pleasant, but her athletic abilities, looks, and figure were practically perfect—a perfect girl, except for her academics.
Yet, she didn’t have any close friends.
She chatted with her classmates, but unlike other girls, she wasn’t part of any clique. She was often seen alone, like a solitary, elegant gorani.
Wait, isn’t that being ostracized? In the world of female relationships, not belonging to a group means there’s something wrong with you, doesn’t it?
…That might be a bit harsh, but it wasn’t entirely untrue.
The basic premise of female relationships is “You, me, we’re all friends~,” but beneath the surface, it’s a turbulent sea of backstabbing, jealousy, and power plays.
To stand out or protect yourself in these invisible battles, you need to belong to a group.
A community, so to speak.
Girls learn, from a young age, what it means to be part of a community, albeit in a somewhat distorted way.
So, since she wasn’t part of a group, wasn’t she being ostracized? That argument could be made, but…hmm.
“…”
Few had the guts to badmouth the girl with long, slender legs crossed, quietly tapping away at her phone, with flawless skin and long eyelashes.
She was the teachers’ pet, her beauty made others look like squid in comparison, and though they dismissed it as a rumor, she was said to be stronger and more violent than most boys.
Rumor had it she’d folded a boy in half and slammed him to the ground in elementary school, which led to a disciplinary hearing and her transfer to the mainland.
If Yuna heard that, she’d flip out.
“No way! Why would I fold someone in half?! I’ve never even been disciplined! I was a straight-A student, a model student!” she’d yell, vehemently denying it.
I’d become a passively ostracized student, untouchable out of fear of what I might do—a reluctant gorani.
Huh? Calling a gorani elegant? What a strange analogy.
Well, my face and body *were* elegant, but there was something odd about it.
“Oh, Han Yuna. Same group again?”
“Wow, stuck with these weirdos again?”
“Ha, 3D woman. Consider yourself honored. I’ll carry our group again.”
“…”
Discussion class.
This was probably the only time, besides P.E., that I, Han Yuna, the notorious class sleeper, stayed awake.
Familiar faces.
I put away my phone, smiled faintly, and chuckled, looking at these weirdos I was too embarrassed to hang out with outside of school.
“You creepy bastards. Let’s do this properly if you don’t want to tank our grade again.”
Despite my harsh words, I greeted them warmly. Each of them was uniquely weird in their own way.
Im Chul-soo, a chubby guy with a bowl cut and frosted tips, desperately trying to look cool in a fluorescent yellow baseball jacket, a virgin loser.
Lee Young-wook, skinny as a rail, with messy hair and small eyes hidden behind thick glasses.
Kim Deok-woo, wearing a black cap and mask, clutching a light novel, with a creepy smile.
Oh Mok-gol, tall, muscular, and seemingly stoic.
And me, Han Yuna, the prettiest girl in the second grade, wearing a yellow cardigan over a low-cut blouse, a tight skirt that showed off my thighs, and no blazer or vest.
A group of individuals so unique that it seemed impossible for them to get along!
There was no special reason why I, Yuna, was friends with these weirdos, each a king in their own domain of weirdness.
“So~ Did everyone read the book I assigned last time?”
I straightened up, putting on a serious face, and they all nodded confidently.
“Okay, our group will be discussing ‘Chul-soo’s Virginity Problem’ based on ‘Why Sex and Puberty.'”
“…!!”
“!!!”
“What the—!!”
“You bastards.”
The truth was, there was no special reason. I was just as weird as they were.
Discussions were meant for sharing diverse opinions on a common topic and finding better solutions together.
Unlike debates, there were no winners or losers. It was supposed to be the perfect form of communication, where everyone felt safe and respected!
“Are you guys crazy?! Are you making fun of me?! You bastards… I’ll do this on my own!!”
Oops, looks like someone got hurt, even though there are no losers.
Are you being too naive?
Did you really think we chose this topic to make fun of you, Chul-soo?
Chul-soo jumped up, his face red as a chili pepper, oinking like Burari back home, and turned to leave the classroom.
I smiled and stood up, gently patting his chubby shoulder.
“Chul-soo, you’re missing the bigger picture. What if, through this discussion…we find a solution?”
“To being single!!”
“To…losing your virginity?!”
“!!!!”
My teammates caught on and gave him the answer.
“…Heh.”
Wow, that smile is disgusting. It’s that creepy, predatory smile of Big Buzzcut from when we were kids.
Anyway, now that the most important guinea pig…I mean, the main character of our discussion was back in his seat, we could continue.
We exchanged opinions on how to get a girlfriend and how to lose your virginity.
Having thoroughly read “Why Sex and Puberty,” we were practically experts in this field, so we were bound to come up with some surprising ideas.
And so, five teenagers, obsessed with sex and relationships, well-versed in the literature and self-proclaimed experts, put their heads together and came up with the following solutions:
* Solutions:
-
- Pay for a woman.
-
- Use force.
“…Are these the only realistic options?”
“Damn, this is harder than I thought.”
“Ugh! Even looking into parallel universes yields no answers!!”
“…”
“You guys, have you ever considered just getting a girlfriend normally?”
Chul-soo getting a girlfriend without money or force…
-
- Refer to tag:drugs and tag:mind_control to get a girlfriend.
“So now we have three options!”
“Wait, Han Yuna. Even if you want to help Chul-soo lose his virginity, we’re not suggesting he commit a crime, are we?”
“Hmm, hmm.”
Young-wook spoke, and Mok-gol nodded. He was right. Even if Chul-soo was a sex-crazed animal, encouraging him to commit a crime wasn’t right.
I nodded in agreement, crossed my arms, and racked my brain for better ideas… Deok-woo chuckled condescendingly.
“Ha, then the conclusion is…this problem is unsolvable.”
“Hey, Kim Deok-woo. Are you picking a fight with me?”
Chul-soo trembled with rage at Deok-woo’s blunt statement, his fists clenching.
These guys are all so hopeless; being the group leader is exhausting.
“Hold on, both of you. Hmm! Hmm! I remember reading about something called ‘PSP.'”
PSP (Problem Solving Process), a method for tackling problems.
First, you identify the problem and analyze its cause… Having thoroughly studied “Why Sex and Puberty,” we clearly understood the problem—Chul-soo not having a girlfriend—and its cause.
So, we needed to brainstorm solutions, focusing on possibilities, not just reality, and come up with a list of potential solutions.
“For example, let’s say you missed the bus to school. Most people would just wait for the next bus, but what if you took a taxi instead?”
Instead of being limited by the given situation, find a new approach to solve the problem.
I figured these weirdos, being somewhat civilized and having gone through basic education, would understand what I was getting at.
“Heh, I see. So that’s it…”
Deok-woo smirked, tapping his chin, looking at me with amusement.
“Han Yuna, you’re very interesting. As expected of the woman I acknowledge. So, you’re saying… ‘It doesn’t have to be a human woman.'”
“Exactly.”
“Exactly my ass!! What do you take me for?!”
Pfft, why not? It’s a decent solution, isn’t it?
I don’t think bestiality is wrong, as long as there’s mutual consent.
“Hey!! Han Yuna! You came up with this topic, didn’t you?! You’re messing with me!!!”
“?? Bullshit. And what’s with the finger-pointing? Do you want me to break your finger?”
I have Burari; I don’t need to find another animal girlfriend for you.
We picked the discussion topic randomly from the ones we all wrote down.
It was probably one of the three guys next to you. Why are you suspecting me?
“If you don’t like it, do you want to discuss the topic I wrote down?”
“That would be better. It’ll be easier than Chul-soo’s virginity problem.”
“Seriously, who wrote this topic? What a waste of time.”
“…”
“Hey, you two, I’ll see you during lunch break.”
Let’s see~ Ah, here’s the topic I wrote.
“Ahem! Ahem! Second topic! ‘Is pregnancy the only way to end periods?!’ Let’s hear your opinions~”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…Let’s just submit the report on Chul-soo’s virginity problem.”
Seriously, you bastards. Why did you get all worked up if you were just going to do that?
The next day, I heard our ethics teacher fainted after reading our group’s discussion report.
