Chapter 33: 〈Episode 33〉 Group assignment
"That's all for today."
The end of the 11 o'clock lecture, just before lunch time.
The professor glanced at the long needle approaching the 50 minute mark, the closing time, and said this while packing up his things.
Accordingly, the students who had been listening to the lecture also started to pack their bags, thinking that it was the end, and I woke up Jiyoung, who was sleeping face down next to me again today.
By the way, even though professors at universities don't pay much attention to their students, they wake up students who are sleeping during every lecture.
So, of course, I tried to wake Jiyoung up a few times after hearing what the professor said, but she soon fell back down, and the professor, who seemed to be frustrated and even angry, suddenly asked her a difficult question.
But my girlfriend, who is a versatile beauty, easily answered all the questions and lay down again, and after that, the professor who touched Jiyoung completely disappeared.
If not, I think I'll take this midterm and try a different approach.
anyway,
"I'll give you an assignment."
A month has already passed since I entered school.
Because of this, professors were giving out homework little by little.
"The number of people... um. Oh, it's thirty-two."
The professor, who was looking through the attendance sheet, nodded with a bright smile.
"Please pair up in groups of four and research what I explained today and write a report. It's not that difficult, so the deadline is next week, and we'll have a presentation time at the end of next week. Okay."
After finishing what he wanted to say, the professor ran out of the classroom, wondering what was so busy.
The students were lamenting, "Why do we have to do a group project in the classroom?" and others were sitting in their seats with expressions that seemed to have no idea why, looking around to see if there was anyone they could form a group with.
Among them, I belonged to the latter.
"hmm....."
I looked at the front seat first.
In the front seat, the only one... the only one... Yoo... whoo. I just met her and looked at Dahye's Dahye, someone I could have a simple conversation with.
For a woman, her back was quite wide, so much so that I wanted to touch her sides.
No, that's not the point.
"The four of us will do it."
Her friends happened to be exactly four in number, so it seemed like a stretch to get them on board.
Then I guess I'll have to find someone else.
Not only did we not know anyone in our class, but it seemed like most of the seats were already taken, and although some of the current students were eyeing us, most of them were men.
As expected, he was targeting Jiyoung.
To be honest, if it was because they recognized Jiyoung's intelligence and approached her, then to some extent, it would be understandable. But the seniors who I trusted enough to think that way had no intention of being in the same group as us in the first place.
Maybe it's because of the bad guys targeting Jiyoung.
That's why the remaining guys are all undesirable, and the female seniors also look at Jiyoung with unfavorable eyes, so her future seems bleak.
There may be some among them who opened their eyes to homosexuality after seeing Jiyoung, but there is a high possibility that they are hiding it.
Actually, I saw a lot of kids like that while attending high school.
They must have felt heartbroken as they thought about Jiyoung together with the women who were calmly badmouthing her behind her back.
"Even if I can't do it, just one person would be enough."
Why only one? The answer to this question was very simple.
It was because, out of all the lectures, only one of them overlapped with my older sister, and for some reason, she changed all of her lectures to the same ones as me during the course registration change period.
To be honest, this wasn't easy.
This is especially true for universities located in the Seoul metropolitan area.
However, with her pretty appearance and high status in school, she somehow managed to change all the lectures, and now, just like Jiyoung, she was sleeping behind me.
"One more sister. One more sister."
I turned around and called out to my older sister, Hana, who was sleeping with her arms stretched out on the desk.
"Ah, ah, yeah. Yeah. Hoon, why?"
Heh heh heh.
I opened my eyes with a half-asleep expression, but soon they closed again.
Still, he answered with a smile on her face when I called her.
"I've given you a task to do in groups of four. Do you want to join my group?"
"Yeah... I want to go in."
"Really? Then sleep more."
"thank you."
Three of them got it right.
Now there is only one left.
As the professor said, the number of people taking this lecture was exactly thirty-two, so eight groups were formed without fail.
That being said, if we just sit still, there will be people left behind, so I had to take the people who were left behind.
Even though it was such a simple situation, I couldn't help but feel worried.
"Minhoon. Are there any seats left?"
"Can I come in?"
"I will work hard."
etc.
The freshmen, who were willing but didn't want to be picked on by the current students and have a hard time at school, had already formed groups and left the classroom to eat lunch.
So, the male students who were not yet in a group... to be exact, who wanted to join our group that Jiyoung and Hana were in, thought this was the moment and rushed to join.
He was clearly talking to me, but his eyes were fixed on Hana and Jiyoung.
If you showed sincerity even now, I would have been willing to accept it... I guess so.
"I... I'm sorry. It's full."
"what?"
"It's full? When?!"
"Who's the last one?"
I lied and said he had gathered all the supplies.
If this is the case, they will say, "There's no other way," and form a group among themselves.
And if it's full, then it's full. Why are you asking for the information of the crew member? It's annoying. Of course, that crew member isn't there.
"It's me, it's me!"
He didn't seem to want to give up on finding out who the remaining crew members were.
At that time, a voice different from these tickled my ears.
The voice belongs to a woman.
I looked towards where the sound came from and there was Sister Suyeong standing there.
"Suyeong sister?"
Suyeong was an ordinary girl in terms of appearance, family background, and grades, but she was very popular with both men and women because of her personality and vibe.
If there was a task like this where you had to make a group, wouldn't both the man and the woman try to bring their older sister?
To begin with, we weren't close, so I thought she'd reject me, saying that she'd already found a group for me before I even asked, let alone put me in the same group. But when she herself said she was in our group, I couldn't help but be flustered, but that only lasted for a moment.
"..."
There were people who simply gave up because the last member was a woman, and there were people who were angry because they thought their spot was taken by Sooyoung.
However, the ending was not pleasant to see, and they couldn't hide their regret and formed a group among themselves.
"That... By any chance. Is it really all full? I said that because you seemed troubled..."
Although she lied about helping me, Sooyoung carefully asked me a question, wondering if she might have actually helped me.
"No, that's a lie. How about you, sister?"
"Ugh... I, I still."
"Really? If it were my sister, I think they would have fought to take her away."
"Oh, no! Not that much..."
Did I say something that made you feel embarrassed? Sister Sooyoung blushed and trailed off.
"Then would you like to join our group?"
"Well, if that's okay."
"I'm fine. Well."
If it were me, I would be more than satisfied, I would be extremely satisfied.
Of course, I'll do it all by myself. Jiyoung, who has no interest in this kind of thing and doesn't even want to cooperate, has to do everything herself, and Hana, who is so stupid that I wonder how she got here and how she's still a third-year student without repeating a grade.
The Tang army. It was more than that.
In that situation, if Sister Suyeong comes in, the conversation is over.
"Really? Then do you want to come in?"
I heard my sister's positive opinion that she would come in.
I feel pathetic, thinking that I might reject you at any moment.
"Thank goodness. I was wondering what to do with these two."
I sighed as I looked at the two still sleeping.
"And what if the last crew member was a wolf targeting these two? Oh my. Just imagining it is terrifying."
"That's right. Hoon-i almost had a hard time."
Cook cook.
My sister said with a smile, as if sympathizing with my feelings.
"But, Sister. Do you have to go?"
"Huh, huh? Where?"
"My friends have already left."
"Oh, oh. I said I was going to eat something I don't like today. So I left by myself."
"is it so?"
I had the image that he would eat anything without being picky, but I guess that wasn't the case.
"Would you like to have lunch together?"
"Yeah... Okay."
Do you know what I'm going to eat and give me permission right away?
By the way.
"What do you dislike?"
"What do you dislike?"
"Yes. You should avoid it."
I hated it so much that I was thinking about eating it separately from my close friends. I needed to know that.
First of all, we have to meet up and explore the place to do the homework, so we have no choice but to go eat together, holding our hungry bellies. And then we might forget to ask what food Sooyoung noona dislikes. So let's just hear it in advance.
"That, that."
Is this something to worry about? My older sister hesitated and couldn't give an answer.
"therefore..."
If Hana and Jiyoung had been awake and said they were hungry, I might have urged them to hurry.
"Oh, Hong-eo."
"...?"
skates?
"Are you going to eat fermented skate for lunch?"
"Ah... yeah. He said he wanted to try it."
"is it so?"
It's funny. Now, girls in their early twenties are going out to eat fermented skate for lunch. But are there any fermented skate restaurants around here?
"I can't help but hate it."
Since it is a food with extremely polarizing tastes, you might dislike it.
And since neither I nor Jiyoung like fermented skate that much, I don't think there will be a problem later.
"Shall we go to a Chinese restaurant?"
"okay!"
After hearing my sister's answer, I woke up the two people who were still sleeping and headed to the Chinese restaurant.
