Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family - Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family chapter 71

71 – Group Assignment

It was the first day of vacation and the first day of the seasonal semester.

The ‘World of Fairy Tales’ lecture I was taking started at 13:00, so I had lunch with Gu Min-seop and returned to my house to rest for a while.

“Hey, but why are you listening to the seasons? A guy who hasn’t even had a girlfriend for a while. I guess I wouldn’t have been able to hang out much with my girlfriend since it was exam period. But do you also listen to the seasons?”

Gu Min-seop asked me while lying on my bed. I feel very at home now.

My fingers don’t rest as if I’m trying to contact my girlfriend on my cell phone.

“One of my seniors told me to get my grades in advance during my 4th year because I was busy preparing for appointment. Plus, my girlfriend works at a store anyway, so I’m equally busy whether it’s vacation or not.”

“I see. But have you ever thought of becoming a teacher?”

“I don’t know yet, but I might want to become a teacher in the future, so I need to prepare. You are strange in the first place. “You really came here with the intention of becoming a physical education teacher, so why don’t you listen to the season?”

“Ah, what season is it during the first vacation of my first year in college? “You can listen to two in the winter.”

I think this guy will say that he can listen to two books during winter break and next year…

I don’t know. You’ll figure it out. Anyway, Gu Min-seop, this guy has a big family. If that doesn’t work out, he could use his connections to become a teacher at a private school.

It is a loss to worry about friends from well-off families.

“But what season do you listen to? “Intermediate level of liberal arts English?”

“No, my classmates listen to that a lot, but I listen to something different. A world of fairy tales.”

“Huh? Did you sign up for that course? Geography. “There are only one or two kids in my class who got through it.”

“I just got lucky. “Only the computer I was sitting on didn’t lag and I was able to register for classes.”

“Then I guess you were destined to hear that.”

… Fate.

Gu Min-seop just said it casually, but that word felt heavy to me.

I think this is especially true because of the story I had with Minah.

Because we met as if by fate. Because thanks to that fate, I was able to live.

Just the fact that there is a lecture that the two of us can take together makes us very conscious of it.

“What the hell is fate… “I’m leaving, so you can lock the door and leave.”

I got angry at the guy who had made me upset by saying such a strange word for no reason and got dressed.

Now it’s time to get to class on time.

… Maybe if you go to the classroom, Ara will be there.

It’s okay. It may feel a little uncomfortable, but we won’t have anything to do with this lecture.

“Hey Hansol Lee, take your wallet and go.”

“Huh? Ah, thank you. “I almost forgot.”

Just before I put my bag on and left, Gu Min-seop held out his wallet from behind.

I thought it was in the bag, but I took it out at some point.

I put my wallet in my bag and left the house.

For some reason, Gu Min-seop saw me off with a grin on his face.

“Giggle… “Thank you.”

What is it? The guy’s voice coming from behind is quite sinister.

Hmm… Well, when I think about it, it’s not a big deal. It’s always been that Gu Min-seop is sneaky, but why?

… At this point, I should have punched that damn guy in the face.

“Ah… “

“…… “

From Noble mtl dot com

We ran into each other in front of the classroom door.

Although it is annoying, it is actually not that special.

In the first place, since Ara and I are in the same department, we often encounter situations like this.

There is just no conversation with each other.

As always, I passed by Ara and headed into the classroom first.

“So, Sol… !”

Ara called me urgently from behind. It was the first time since that day that she spoke to me.

When I turned around, I saw a pitiful figure hesitating and unable to make eye contact with me.

“Why?”

“Well, you know… Should I cancel the course… ?”

“… What?”

The words that barely came out of Ara’s mouth were words that made me quite uncomfortable.

No, actually, I hated the wandering eyes and shrunken shoulders that were looking at me more than the content of the words. I hated Ara’s lack of confidence in her voice.

“Why are you canceling? For what reason. “Ara, weren’t you planning on taking this lecture?”

“Yes, but…” Still, if Sol doesn’t like you, I… “

“… “Listen if you want to hear it.”

I let out a short sigh and turned around again.

It’s hard to look at Ara’s listless face any longer. I know it’s because of me.

You gave me such a hard time, but it pains me to see you having such a hard time because of me.

“Ah… “

Ara muttered softly behind her as if she had something more to say, but she didn’t want to hear it. Anyway, it will only hurt my feelings like it just said.

I entered the classroom and sat in the back seat.

Although it was a popular course, the number of students enrolled was only about 40, so the size of the classroom was not that large.

Thanks to this, I could clearly see Ara sitting in the front.

Drooping shoulders and a blank stare that doesn’t know where to look.

I tried hard to turn my head and look away from that pitiful sight that kept catching my eye.

… From next time, I think it would be better for me to sit closer to the front.

「Are there a lot of customers in the store now? “I’m just about to listen to the lecture.”

The professor hasn’t arrived yet, so I sent a message to Soyi.

I thought the reply would be late since it was lunch time and she would definitely be busy, but surprisingly, Soyi’s reply was quick.

「It’s so busy! I thought it would be a little less busy since it was vacation ㅜㅜ」

「Why the pancake? It’s good if the owner is busy in the store. And you’re busy, but I guess you have time to text me, Kim So-yi?”

「ㅡㅡ I guess that’s why you’re dissatisfied with Lee Han-sol? Do I have time to reply?”

That can’t be possible.

After exchanging messages like this again, I started missing Soyi.

And as we were chatting in the middle of a casual conversation, I suddenly received this text message from Soyi.

「I miss you Lee Han-sol.」

It’s amazing. I used to be embarrassed to show affection like that, but now I know how to say things like this first.

「I miss you too, Kim So-yi.」

I also sent a message with the same content.

And then I heard the front door of the quiet classroom open. The professor came in.

I sent a text message to Soyi saying I would see her in the evening and put my phone away.

A professor with a warm appearance who appeared to be in his mid-40s greeted me as he wrote his name on his blackboard.

“Hello everyone. My name is Shin Jong-cheol, and I am in charge of teaching the world of fairy tales in the summer semester. Nice to meet you.”

Clap clap clap clap-!!

Thunderous applause erupted.

It’s worth it.

For the students sitting here right now, that professor is like a golden goblin who gives away grades.

A course with no annoying assignments and 90% of the evaluation is a midterm and final exam.

This is literally a free lecture.

Everyone must have thought that way until they saw the professor’s course introduction through PPT.

“… Uh?”

“What is that…” ?!”

“Group, group task… ?”

On the PPT screen, instead of the happy words “90% Test, 10% attitude,” There were despairing words “70% Test, 20% group work,” And 10% attitude.

The faces of the students who had been smiling were rotten.

“Ah, let me explain the evaluation of this group assignment… “

The professor began to explain whether he knew the meaning of such a buzz.

The reason for including that group task item is because of a post posted on Eta by some rotten person.

That rotten bastard evaluated Professor Shin Jong-cheol’s lecture on the world of fairy tales like this.

[This is a lecture where the professor is just blatantly trying to get money out of the kids’ tuition. hahahaha. They’ve been giving exams straight from the genealogy list for several years and there are no other assignments. hahahaha. Why would that be? It’s annoying to change the content of the guidance test and it’s also annoying to receive assignments. Really, I was a sucker for the same situation, but I’m surprised that there is a professor like this at Hankuk University hahahaha]

Of course, most of the comments on that post were criticizing the author, but there were also quite a few sympathizing comments.

Probably, they’ve already sucked all the honey, so it’s none of their business.

Professor Shin Jong-cheol had a tantrum.

This is the response that came back to me for sticking to this lecture method for students who would be tired of other lectures.

Professor Shin Jong-cheol declared that starting from this lecture, the entire content of the exam will be changed and there will be an assignment evaluation ratio in the grade.

“First, let me explain the topic of the group assignment. The group task is… “

“Ha… “

While the professor was explaining the assignment, there was a sigh among the students.

Someone said, inaudibly to the professor, “f*ck you, really…” ” Was clearly heard being said.

It was probably not directed at the professor, but at the author of the article.

If the current students’ anger toward their professors is similar to that of a slightly hateful person, their anger toward him would be a bit exaggerated, and would be similar to that of their parents’ enemies.

“And, I made all the arrangements. Take a look at the screen here and check.”

“…… “

When I saw the screen, I was speechless.

– Group 9: Yoo Ah-ra, Lee Han-sol, Hwang Hyun-ah

What is the probability that we will be in the same group in a group task of three people?

I don’t know. I don’t have the mental capacity to calculate something like that.

When I looked towards Ara, I saw that she too had turned around and was looking at me, as if she was embarrassed.

“Okay, starting today, please sit in groups. I’ll give you some time now to find Jo Won… “

Hearing the professor’s words, the students burst out laughing and looked for their group members.

I didn’t get up, but instead held my head and glanced at Ara.

“Woe, Hwang Hyeon-ah~! “Who is Hwang Hyeon-ah?”

Perhaps it was burdensome to come to me right away, so Ara first looked for other members of the group, students from other departments.

Fortunately or unfortunately, our group member, a woman from another department, quickly raised her hand and joined Ara.

And Ara guided her to me.

“So, no… Hansol. “He’s a member of our group.”

“Hello. “My name is Hwang Hyeon-ah.”

“… Hello.”

The woman in our group who greeted us with a smile said she was a second year majoring in Russian language and literature.

Since we were told to sit together as a group, I wanted to sit with this woman in the middle, but she was faster on her side.

She sat down in her seat, leaving her ara empty between her and me.

Well… Since we were in the same class, you probably thought we would sit by ourselves.

“Well, now that everyone is seated, I will continue the lecture. First… “

It was the first day of class, but due to the nature of the seasonal semester lectures, it was impossible to be busy on the first day, so the professor finished the lecture only after completing all 3 hours of lecture today.

After spending three breathtaking hours sitting side by side with Ara and just looking at each other without saying a word, I felt exhausted.

Should I do this every day? It’s tough. First, I went home and ate soy powder…

“Ah, Lee Hansol! “Let’s talk for a bit today, shall we?”

“… Yes?”

“No, since the professor explained the group assignments, we should split our parts first. “There’s a cafe in the engineering building nearby, so let’s all go together first.”

“Ah… “

Hwang Hyun-ah seems to be planning to lead us first-year students like she is a second-year student.

Yes, first of all, it would be a normal group task for group members to make a clear statement and talk about the task. But we…

When our eyes met, Ara lowered her eyes.

… I feel uncomfortable too, but we can’t let other group members suffer because of us.

I answered that I would do that to Hwang Hyun-ah on behalf of Ara.

“But aren’t you two close? I heard it’s the same Korean language education department… “

“… “We’re a little awkward.”

The three of us arrived at the cafe awkwardly, and we each chose a drink to drink.

Hwang Hyun-ah said that she would buy it because she was older than her, but she and Ara flatly refused.

Before she could take out her card, I took my wallet out of my bag and opened it.

Tuk-

“Ah… “

Is it because I opened my wallet upside down? Something fell out of my wallet.

It wasn’t a card. The wrapping paper was square, but not rectangular like a card, but square.

And inside, I saw something that looked like a round band.

“Uh, this is… “

“…… “

Hwang Hyun-ah looked embarrassed.

Ara froze as she saw it fall to the floor.

The thing that fell from my wallet is something I used in my previous life, but have never used in this life. Something I have never bought.

… It was a contraceptive device for men.

Goo Min-seop, this f*cking bastard…
