“Why does it feel like exam period has come back so quickly?”

It definitely feels like it wasn’t that long ago that the midterms were over.

For some reason, the final exams are already just around the corner.

“What is it? Where did my time go?”

As I was sadly covering myself with the blanket over my head, Seo Ye-rin, who was leaning against the bed next to me, hummed while looking at her cell phone.

“Woojina, look at this.”

Seo Ye-rin held out her cell phone.

There were SNS posts there, and they were about Seo Ye-rin, who appeared in the trailer for the casino movie that was filmed last time.

“Everyone is asking who I am. Some people even say they want to date me.”

“… … Why are you here.”

It’s the weekend and I just woke up and here he is in my room.

But Seo Ye-rin smiles brightly as if she can’t hear me and continues what she wants to say.

“I wish I had a girlfriend who was so envious of other people.”

“Well, it’s good, but… …Why are you here?”

“Oh my, the company is already going crazy because they’re already getting offers? They haven’t even debuted yet, and they’re making a fuss like this for the first time.”

“Yeah, I guess you don’t intend to answer.”

While I’m up, I should wash up.

I throw a blanket over Seo Ye-rin, who keeps chattering, and cover her up before going to the bathroom.

The bicycle parked at the entrance to the room felt awkward at first, but now I’m used to it.

Squeak.

When I opened the bathroom door and went in, Yu Ah-rin was changing her clothes.

“Ah, sir! Knock and come in!”

Got kicked out right away.

‘what.’

Clearly I woke up after sleeping alone in the dorm yesterday and why are these here?

I turned my head slightly to ask Seo Ye-rin again, but the moment I saw her rolling around on the bed, wrapped in my blanket, I decided to just give up.

Rattling.

Yoo Ah-rin opened the bathroom door and came out, wearing pajama pants.

It seemed like he had just arrived and changed into comfortable clothes.

“Just woke up?”

“Why here… … Sigh, that’s enough.”

I just gave up.

I went inside to take a shower and there was a commotion outside.

I was wondering what was going on, when the bathroom door suddenly opened and Seo Ye-rin peeked her head inside.

“Woojina! Seo bought a hamburger. Come out and eat.”

“Wash it!”

“What, I’ve already seen everything there is to see.”

As I watched him leave after staring at my lower body, I thought to myself, “He’s really amazing.”

After a quick wash and going outside, I see three people sitting on the floor eating hamburgers.

“Oh, shit.”

“Oh yeah! I won!”

As I was leaving, drying my hair with a towel, Yoo Ah-rin grumbled and handed Seo Ye-rin a nugget.

When I asked what I won while sitting down, Choi Yi-seo, who was sitting next to me, explained it to me.

“We made a bet whether you would come out naked or with your clothes on.”

“No, of course I thought you’d come out naked. You’re coming out wearing this?”

As Yoo Ah-rin expressed her grievance by hitting the ground, Seo Ye-rin quickly picked up the nugget and ate it, explaining.

“There are times when Woojini has a secretly girly side, so she takes care of the mood. Rather than just taking things off, she likes to start by taking things off or taking things off.”

“… … .”

That’s not wrong.

It’s kind of creepy how he can see through me like that.

I was a bit skeptical about eating a hamburger right after waking up in the morning, but I ended up eating something like a McMorning.

“Oh, shit.”

As I was taking a bite, I found myself grumbling without realizing it, and Choi Yi-seo glanced at me.

“Why? Not so good?”

“I got bitten yesterday for no reason.”

Bam!

I got hit in the back of the head so I decided to keep my mouth shut and eat the hamburger.

“Hey, but it doesn’t smell.”

“Are you spraying deodorant?”

“Yeah, last time, Lee Seo came in and bought some for me because it smelled.”

The look of disgust on Choi Yi-seo’s face as she told me that I smelled like a man still remains in my memory like a trauma.

“… … I really hate myself for getting used to this kind of conversation.”

Choi Yi-seo sighs deeply as she grumbles. Anyway, I thought there was a reason why the three of them came to me.

“This time, the four of us decided to do the group project together.”

“Why are you doing that on the weekend?”

I tried to speak as if it was unfair, but it seemed like the conversation between the three of them was already over.

I’m already feeling anxious because final exams are approaching, so why study even on the weekend?

“Why don’t we just use the weekend to finish it all together?”

It’s a bit comfortable since they’re all familiar faces.

There is only one lecture that all four of us listen to together.

My major was ‘Understanding Eastern and Western Classics’.

“Choose one Eastern and one Western classical work from the list provided by the professor, analyze the differences and similarities, and then present in English.”

Choi Yi-seo explains simply.

When I hear that, I seem to remember hearing the explanation in class.

“Looking at it, I see that most of the classics that the professor used when teaching are listed. There is no need to read books that you have never seen before.”

“I’m going to throw up after eating French fries. Let’s talk after we’re done eating.”

When I interrupted, Choi Yi-seo felt awkward and apologized briefly before starting to eat again.

When I saw that, it seemed like he was the type of person who would talk about work while eating at work.

After eating a simple hamburger, we begin preparing under Choi Yi-seo’s instructions.

“If it’s early, by this morning. If it’s late, by tomorrow evening. Since we all know each other anyway, let’s not divide up roles and just do it together.”

All research is done together.

We also do PPT work together.

“… … What about the announcement?”

“If no one wants to do it, I’ll do it.”

At Choi Yi-seo’s words, Yoo Ah-rin and I nodded. Who would want to make a presentation?

“Me! I’ll do it!”

I wanted to do it, but then someone came forward and said they really wanted to do it.

It was Seo Ye-rin who raised her hand, so it looks like she used her head.

“I’m a hot girl right now. At times like this, it would be nice to make an announcement and stamp my eyes at least once more.”

“Yeah, good.”

Choi Yi-seo also happily accepts Seo Ye-rin’s declaration.

That’s how our group project began.

* * *

“Oh, I don’t want to do it.”

As I muttered a word, the sharp gazes of the three people who were each concentrating on me shot straight at me.

“… … I’ll shut up and do it.”

I definitely woke up at 10 in the morning, washed up, ate a hamburger, and started at 11.

It’s already 6 o’clock in the evening.

The group project was about 1/3 finished.

The three people who were once lively and energetic had become slumped and literally college students.

There are empty plastic coffee cups lying around us.

“It seems a little slow.”

Choi Yi-seo stretches her legs in a daze.

At her words, the other two either mumble in frustration or press their hands to their eyes.

“Should I take a break? If I find my pace, I think I can finish it by dawn.”

Everyone agreed with Choi Yi-seo’s words and just lay down. It was nice because it wasn’t a cafe.

I never thought I would be challenged with the feat of finishing a group project in just one day.

Since the four of us worked together saying things we couldn’t say before, things progressed surprisingly quickly.

“Ujina, sorry about earlier.”

Seo Ye-rin came to apologize while lying down, perhaps because she was still worried about the brief argument they had over researching the data.

“No, I’m sorry.”

I don’t even remember what we fought about anymore. I guess the same goes for Seo Ye-rin.

It’s a situation where neither of us has done anything good.

After hearing our apology, Yoo Ah-rin smiles brightly as if she remembered the situation earlier.

“This is so funny. What did Kim Woojin say earlier? Did he say let’s have sex to see who’s right? ”

Oh, I remembered.

While we were talking about whose information was correct, we decided that if it was going to be like this, let’s settle things with sex.

“I was really surprised because the two of them were really trying to go into the bathroom.”

Choi Yi-seo covered her eyes with her hands and let out a hollow laugh. At that time, rather than being really excited and wanting to have sex, she wanted to make him give in and say that she was right.

“If you fight, have sex with each other. Then you’ll be free.”

As Seo Ye-rin spoke with a bashful smile, the other two also burst out laughing.

The sunset is still setting outside the window.

Maybe it’s because it’s summer, but seeing the sun set so slowly makes me feel strangely emotional.

It’s fortunate that the dormitory has a system air conditioner.

If not, I would have done it while sweating profusely.

“What are you all going to do this summer vacation?”

Choi Yi-seo asked, trying to lighten the mood.

I guess they’re going to start over after eating some rice here.

“I’m going to film! It’s a supporting role, but the amount is small, but the impact is big! The company said they’re being considerate of me and intentionally only accepting roles like that.”

It seems like it’s a role that doesn’t take up much time, considering that Seo Ye-rin is a student, but it’s definitely a role that can make her face known.

“A survivor living alone in the apocalypse? Something like that. Since it’s a concept where the lover died, there aren’t many lines.”

Why am I cold when my lover dies?

Anyway, Seo Ye-rin will be busy during summer vacation.

Next was Yu Ah-rin.

“I… … don’t have any plans. At most, a part-time job and a taekwondo studio? I’m going out for the first time in a while.”

Taekwondo school?

I thought I had stopped now, but maybe I still had some regrets?

It made me a little curious.

“I think I’ll help Yoonji again this time. She asked if I could come with Minji.”

Does Choi Yi-seo work with Oh Yoon-ji? Last winter vacation, we all went to Gold One and she helped Yoon-ji.

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t seen you lately.’

I heard that he was returning to school in the second semester, but this is the first time I’ve heard from him for this long.

Have you completely given up?

Well then, that’s fortunate.

I was a little worried because he was so quiet, no matter what he did, he did it with so much flair.

I couldn’t see it because I was lying down, but I felt three people’s gazes on me.

“I’m on a bike trip.”

Didn’t you just buy a bike?

“I just want to wander around aimlessly. I tried to go camping last time but couldn’t.”

“It’s healthier than I thought?”

“Okay… … .”

I think it’s sound.

“And the elementary school reunion? I got invited to that, but if you tell me not to go, I won’t go.”

Didn’t you have a hard time last time because of violinist Choi Jin-ah?

I thought it was right to report it, so I said it, and before I knew it, the three of them were sitting there staring at me.

“I’m a college student. Do you have a class reunion?”

“Yeah, that’s a bit strange.”

“Elementary school was also a place where the rich people gathered?”

“Well, that’s what happened.”

There were a lot of guys from rich families. Actually, it’s not like we’re just having a class reunion and drinking because it’s been a while.

With memories that last like a weed, we can get to know each other again and expand our network.

“You know. There are a lot of cases where people flirt with each other at class reunions.”

When Yoo Ah-rin speaks with a smile, Choi Yi-seo shows an ambiguous reaction.

“They’re a minority. Those people are shocking, so they stand out. The majority are just normal people who are just socializing.”

“Hey, how would you know that? If you keep doing that, you could sneakily hold hands behind her back. You could ask her to go for a smoke, and then you could kiss her. ”

“That could happen. That doesn’t mean it is.”

As the two continued to bicker, Seo Ye-rin stepped in to mediate.

“Sexy!”

That crazy bitch.

“Don’t fight, just have sex!”

“Can I help you?”

As soon as he pretended to take off his pants, they both let out a sigh at the same time.

“I was wrong.”

“Me too, I think I was wrong.”

If you say both are wrong, then I don’t know what to do.

“What should I eat for dinner?”

Is the class reunion story going to end without a trace?

‘I think it’d be better if I just didn’t go.’

I started to worry with the kids about what to eat for dinner, promising myself not to go.
