Group project.

There are many terrifying situations for college students, but this one is so famous that it has become a meme even externally, and it is the most vicious.

A time to see various human figures.

Suddenly, I felt suffocated as if I had to move around with strangers, handcuffed to my wrists and ankles.

A rather rare situation where you can see just how ugly a person can become.

Honestly, the last group project wasn’t bad.

Although accidents happened often here and there, our leader, Senior Joohee, definitely held the steering wheel and led the way.

If it could be seen as a piece of hope.

This time, it seems like it’s the despair part.

“Phew, so… … .”

I couldn’t hide my sigh as I heard the teaching assistant’s explanation over the phone.

I briefly explained my situation and asked them to either change my group or move me to another group.

The teaching assistant also went to the professor and told him about it.

The professor is said to have contacted the students separately.

“It’s coming out in the next lecture, right?”

– Yes, they are coming. This time, each of them had their own circumstances. I even got permission to give each of my classmates their numbers separately. I’ll send them to you via text.

“Haaa.”

Why is it so hard to believe?

It certainly seems like the professor and teaching assistant are trying to help me as much as possible.

“Honestly… …I don’t think these people really had a reason. What do you think?”

But didn’t the teaching assistant spend more time at the university than I did?

I wanted to hear your honest opinion about the current situation.

– … … .

The teaching assistant, who had been silent for a while,

– therefore.

With a soft sigh.

– You’ll have a hard time.

He made a statement that seemed to give me a glimpse into my future.

“No, then why don’t you just change the group? If I go to a different group, it’s over!”

– I told the professor the same thing at first. He said that since other groups were already made up of six people, if a student were to join a group, there would be more people and it would be unfair.

– The professor also spoke directly with the other five people, and they all said they would work hard on their assignments.

– If a classmate suddenly leaves here, the other five people will feel wronged…

“No! If the professor calls, of course I’ll say I’ll work hard! I would do the same if I were you!”

– Okay, calm down. Try contacting them separately.

After all, yelling here is just venting one’s anger.

I managed to calm down and hung up the call.

“Huh, okay. I’ll give it a try.”

It hasn’t even started yet.

I don’t know.

Could it be that there really were deeper circumstances?

First, I created a chat room with the contacts I received on my phone.

[Team project for Humanities Group F.]

I even added “Kyo-pil” to the title of the chatroom in case these kids forgot that it was essential knowledge.

– Kim Woo-jin: Hello.

– Woojin Kim: I am Woojin Kim, a second-year student in the English Literature Department.

Knock knock knock.

I waited while tapping on the screen of my phone. Before I knew it, ten minutes had passed while I was biting my lips.

‘Oh, 10 minutes is fine.’

Everyone might be busy.

Maybe I’m too picky…

Woof!

“Oh!”

A reply came.

Seriously, I’ve never waited this long for a reply from three people!

– Heo Jeong-ah: I’m Jeong-ah’s boyfriend. Don’t act awkward, you little punk.

“Ah, Jesus! F**k you!”

What is this kid talking about now?

Can’t you read Korean properly?

– Kim Woo-jin: Can’t you see the chatroom title? You fucking punk.

A short while later, a reply came again.

– Heo Jeong-ah: But why are you contacting me?

– Kim Woo-jin: That’s bullshit. You have to do a team project. You don’t want to get grades?

– Heo Jeong-ah: Can’t you just watch and talk about it in class? I’ll be there too, so we can watch it together.

You have one too?

– Kim Woo-jin: … … What’s your name?

– Heo Jeong-ah: Do whatever you want.

– Kim Woo-jin: I think you’re in this chat room too?

As I waited with a hopeful heart, after a while.

– Hwang In-woo: Ahem, I misunderstood. Sorry.

“Ah, I’m screwed.”

Even the lover’s children were selected as team members for the group project.

How much of a shit hand does a professor have to have to do something like this?

– Heo Jeong-ah: I’m sorry. I think there was a misunderstanding.

– Hwang In-woo: I’m really sorry. I didn’t know it was a group chat.

Let’s be patient.

Fucking superhuman patience.

– Kim Woo-jin: Yes, it’s okay. Let’s meet up sometime. We need to decide on a topic with the group leader first.

– Kim Woo-jin: The professor said that since the lecture had only just started, the topic could be light. Each person could write about real-life examples of humanities writing.

I briefly explained this group project.

I completely hid the fact that you said that the score for the assignment portion was a bit low for a group project.

and.

There is no answer.

“Heh, heh heh.”

I think I’m going crazy.

Have I lived that badly?

Just like you have to throw bait to catch fish.

I too try to spread out the best bait to call them out from their dives.

– Kim Woo-jin: I will be the team leader.

– Hwang In-woo: Yes, you are a perfect fit for the position of captain.

– Heo Jeong-ah: You have the face to encourage it.

– Dong-gyu Lim: Okay, boss.

– Shin Se-rim: (emoticon)

Look at all these kids popping out.

‘No, not a single one showed up.’

One is whether he looks really busy or whether he just leaves his phone behind.

Since we’re out now, we made plans to meet up tomorrow.

‘Today, we have already exceeded the lethal dose.’

I feel like I’m going to have brain problems if I try to communicate with these kids any further.

* * *

Lunch the next day.

As I was walking to the place where I had promised to meet my teammates, my cell phone rang.

– Bang Da-ye: I can’t go out today because I have a full schedule!

“… … .”

She’s the girl who didn’t answer until the end yesterday.

– Kim Woo-jin: Are you saying that now? It’s 10 minutes before the appointment time?

– Hwang In-woo: Then let’s meet next time.

– Heo Jeong-ah: That’s right. There’s nothing we can do about it. We can only decide when all the team members are together.

– Shin Se-rim: (emoticon)

– Dong-gyu Lim: Confirm.

– Kim Woo-jin: Then when do you have time?

– Kim Woo-jin: We have to meet.

– Kim Woo-jin: … … .

No answer.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

– Seo Ye-rin –

Seo Ye-rin called just then.

– Woojina! Did you meet your teammates? I called because I was worried you might forget us and cheat on me with another woman!

“… … .”

– Even if there’s someone really pretty, you shouldn’t look at them for more than 5 seconds… … What? Oh, 3 seconds? Okay. You shouldn’t look at them for more than 3 seconds!

It looks like Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo are next to me.

“Where are you?”

– Huh? We came here to eat hamburgers.

“I’ll go now.”

– You’re coming?

I miss you guys.

* * *

As I entered the hamburger place, I saw three people sitting in the corner.

“Here!”

“Oh my, look at them all dying.”

“It’s going to be hard.”

Choi Yi-seo and Seo Ye-rin were sitting together, and Yoo Ah-rin was sitting separately, so I had to go to Yoo Ah-rin’s side.

I went straight to Seo Ye-rin and hugged her.

“Whaaaang!”

“Oh my, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

When Seo Ye-rin cries while hugging him, he pats her head.

I feel like I can live a little better because I’m buried in her ample chest.

After a while, I stood up again and sat down next to Yu Ah-rin.

“This little shit, the seat next to me is empty, but Seo Ye-rin’s breasts are big, so she went to him and hugged him, right?”

Got it.

“That’s right.”

Choi Yi-seo replied while eating French fries indifferently.

“Momma Tong Difference.”

Seo Ye-rin declared her superiority by supporting her chest from below.

“… … .”

I didn’t answer and just stayed still, but Yu Ah-rin stepped on my foot from below and punished me.

“So the team members aren’t normal?”

“Eww! These guys are really crazy- Aaah! Arin, stop stepping on me! My feet are gonna get crushed!”

“ Chew! ”

He tries to calm her down while feeding her French fries. He answers Choi Yi-seo while continuing to put French fries in her mouth like fuel.

“Two of them are a couple, one of them only gives short answers, and one of them keeps sending shitty bunny emoticons. The last one checked the text 10 minutes before the appointment time and threw a tantrum!”

“That’s serious.”

“Bad guys!”

Well well.

He stops putting in the french fries, but then steps on them again and they keep putting them in.

Well well.

“I’m telling you, I’m going to get really sick because of them. I just started and I really can’t predict what’s going to happen next.”

It’s only been a day since we received the group project, but I’m already starting to wonder if we’re all going to die together.

Or should I just do it myself and then remove all the names?

“How about Group A, Lee Seo-ya?”

Well well.

“… … Why do you only feed the children?”

“Um, our group is… … Okay. Everyone is doing their own thing. I’m the group leader, and the person who’s doing the research has already sent it to me, saying it’s primary data.”

Already… … you’ve decided on a leader, decided on a topic, and even started researching materials?

“The person who does PPT sends me PPTs he made in the past and asks me to fix them so that I can roughly establish the framework.”

I’m tired.

Isn’t that a miracle?

People should live well.

Well well.

“Feed me too!”

“Then what the hell! How am I supposed to eat it!”

“I can feed you!”

“Why does it have to be so inefficient?!”

Seo Ye-rin started hitting me under the table because she was annoyed, so I ended up just feeding other people french fries with both hands.

Well well.

Muck muck.

“It seems like all the bad luck from this group project is on you, Woojin.”

Choi Yi-seo, feeling sorry, puts French fries in his mouth.

I nodded, accepting it with a sad face.

Well well.

Muck muck.

Crunch crunch.

The next day again.

I was listening to a lecture in the morning when my cell phone rang.

– Bang Da-ye: I’m sorry!

What are you sorry about?

I thought about it for a moment and realized that I didn’t even apologize after breaking my promise yesterday.

‘Did you just send it?’

I’m so shocked that I’m sending a message.

– Kim Woo-jin: Are you a foreigner?

Aren’t there two years of time difference?

The reply came the next day.

– Bang Da-ye: No.
