Episode 34 > 034. Group assignment meeting

KakaoTalk! KakaoTalk! KakaoTalk!

An alarm rang continuously on a cell phone that could not be reached.

When I checked what was going on, there was a message from the group chat created for group assignments the other day.

-Jang Min-hyeok: Hello! We have a problem we need to solve. I'll upload the captured file as an attachment, so check it out.

-Jang Min-hyeok: Captured copy 1.jpg

-Arin Seo: Wow, it came up faster than I thought. How did you know right away?

-Jang Min-hyeok: I knew because my motive told me. But the problem seems a bit difficult.

-Jang Min-hyeok: It's still early May, but considering that I'm going to study for the final exam, I think there's about a month left. Shall we get together and make a plan? How are you all?

-Arin Seo: I agree! I wish we could get together as soon as possible.

-Park Woojin: I agree with you too.

-Shin Ah-young: I agree.

Shin Ah-young, who read the message 10 minutes later, finally agreed.

Looking at the condition, it was fortunate that everyone seemed to be motivated.

It was much better than people who escaped because they were mistakenly caught or didn't read the message.

-Jang Min-hyeok: Then, when should we gather? I have work this week, so I think I can start on Saturday or next week.

-Arin Seo: I can do anything this week! Weekends don't matter.

-Park Woo-jin: I can do it anytime.

-Ayoung Shin: I hope I can do it this week too. Weekends are fine too.

-Jang Min-hyeok: Then, shall we gather at the Life Cafe in front of the school this Saturday? When is a good time? I can do it after lunch.

-Seo Arin: Then how about meeting at 1:00? It's hot, so let's get some air conditioning at the cafe!

-Park Woojin: 1:00 is fine. i can

-Shin Ah-young: I'm fine at that time too.

-Jang Min-hyeok: Is everyone okay with gathering at Life Café 1:00 PM this Saturday? Then see you then.

-Seo Arin: See you then!

-Park Woojin: I see.

-Shin Ah-yeong: I'll go without delay.

After that message, the alarm no longer went off.

I scrolled up and downloaded the captured copy posted by Jang Min-hyeok and tried it on.

"Oh... what the fuck is this."

A complicated circuit that makes exclamations come out naturally.

It even included questions about the solution process and why it was solved that way.

I thought it wouldn't be an easy task because it was a group assignment, but this was a bit unexpectedly difficult.

The thing I hated the most was that I had to use concepts that were within the scope of the final exam.

A problem with very malicious intentions that must be solved step by step through forcible preparation and review.

First of all, there was still time until Saturday, so I decided to study in advance and opened my major book.

You can't just go there and be bruised without knowing anything.

Saturday 12:30.

I checked the meeting place and time once again while looking at the message in the group chat room.

I put in my bag a printed copy of what I had studied and the problems my teaching assistant had posted and went out to the front door.

Usually, arriving 10 minutes earlier was the basis of the appointment, so I left the house a little early.

Contrary to my expectations that he would have arrived in first place, Jang Min-hyeok had already arrived and occupied a table for four.

"Hello. You're here early."

"No. I just came too."

After a brief greeting, we were looking at each other's cell phones, and after a while, Arin Seo greeted us brightly.

"Hello! I'm here. Everyone's here early!"

Approaching the table, she sat down next to Jang Min-hyeok and started chatting.

Judging by how they use casual language in the group chat, they probably seemed like close friends.

And 2 minutes before the appointment time, Shin Ah-yeong appeared, attracting attention.

Wearing wide black slacks and a gray cardigan over a white tee, it went well with the spring mood.

"Hello. I'm in last place. I'm sorry."

"No! It's okay. It's not even 1 o'clock yet. What?"

There was only one seat left, so she naturally sat next to me.

A fragrant smell as soon as you sit down.

No matter how much I ate through the ona hole, it was a different feeling when I actually saw it up close.

Seeing the expression he made during sex and the arrogant expression he had now made me wonder if he was a different person with a huge sense of disparity.

As everyone gathered and the slightly awkward atmosphere continued, Seo Arin clapped her hands and evoked the atmosphere.

"Shall we order something to drink first? I'm a macchiato!"

After she rhymed, each of them said what they would like to drink.

Then Ayoung Shin and Arin Seo, who were seated outside the table, where it was easy to get out, left to order.

Another empty table with two men left.

As I was still staring out the window, Jang Min-hyeok spoke to me first.

"You said you were a returning student, right? I think I heard that the other day."

"Ah yes, I am 24 years old, a 17th grader who went back to school after serving in the military."

"Oh, he was my older brother. I haven't enlisted in the military yet, so I'm in the class of 19 and I'm 22 years old."

When I made a questioning expression, 'You're in your third year, didn't you go to the army?' Jang Min-hyeok added an explanation.

"I have a bad back because I had surgery, but I'm watching the current situation in case it gets worse after I go to the army."

"Oh, that's really unfortunate. Surgery..."

As we were talking about this and that, Shin Ah-yeong and Seo A-rin, who had gone to order, brought coffee.

We said thank you and drank coffee, slowly leading to a meeting atmosphere.

"Shall we start now?"

I took the printed issue out of my bag and put it on the table.

Everyone must have seen it at least once, but when I saw the problem, I let out a short saliva.

"Um...isn't this from the next chapter? I see completely new symbols...?"

"Should I do it later when I'm out?"

"Right, how about doing this later if the professor teaches you?"

Seo Ah-rin and Jang Min-hyeok spoke in a tone without confidence.

However, Shin Ah-young looked at the two and gave a different opinion.

"I think it's better to start early. Since it's the final exam anyway, study in advance, get good grades, and kill two birds with one stone, right?"

Coincidentally, I was thinking the same thing, so I nodded.

Opinions were divided 2 to 2, but when the topic of grades came up, Seo Arin and Jang Min-hyeok seemed to have changed their minds, and soon agreed.

With the direction roughly decided, I slipped in to tell you my plan.

Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like I've been studying. I decided to just pass by today.

"Then, let's make an overall plan for today and disband. Just looking at the problem now won't solve it."

"Ah, before that, I have something to ask you, are you a returning student?"

The same question as Minhyuk Jang asked earlier came from Arin Seo.

I must have said it the last time we exchanged contact information, but I think I overheard it.

The moment he was about to open his mouth, Jang Min-hyeok struck first.

"Ah then, shall we properly introduce ourselves here?

There wasn't a particularly objectionable atmosphere, so he continued.

"Can I do it first? I'm 22 years old, Jang Min-hyuk, in the 19th class of electrical engineering."

"I'm Seo Ah-rin, 22 years old, in the same department, class of '19."

"I am Park Woo-jin, 24 years old, in the class of 17, who returned to school this time. Of course, I am also majoring in electrical engineering."

"My name is Shin Ah-yeong, a 22-year-old class of 19 in the same department."

After the introduction, everyone in the group looked at me.

Eyes full of anticipation.

"Ah, I thought it was a face I hadn't seen before... He must have been a returning student..."

I felt an uneasy atmosphere as if I had to lead something.

The strange logic of saying that since he served in the military and is the oldest, he seems to be reliable.

I was lucky enough to get lost here and the atmosphere.

"Then… can I… take over the lead?"

"yes!"

"I like it."

As if they had been waiting for this word, the answer came right away from the members.

I made up my mind to go out to be sure that this had happened and brought out the contents I had studied.

"Actually, I've been studying a bit beforehand. This part is going to be progressed next week, and if you look at it in the book..."

When I explained the plan in detail, everyone looked at me in amazement.

A face that did not expect to study this far.

"I just want to get good grades, so I hope everyone works hard."

It felt like I was tutoring with some kids.

Next week, I will study this far and solve this problem, and the next week I will study this far...

"Wow! We picked a leader well! Then, according to this plan, we meet once a week to check and study together, right?"

"Yes, it's a plan that's only possible if everyone has studied instead, so is everything okay?"

"yes!"

My explanation ended with everyone agreeing.

After the overall plan was drawn up, everyone chatted while drinking coffee with faces that seemed relieved.

As time passed and the coffee was almost empty, Shin Ah-young stood up.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom for a minute."

After she disappeared from sight, Seo Ah-rin, who was talking with Jang Min-hyeok, suddenly changed the subject.

"Oh right. Did you hear that rumor?"

"Like what?"

"That's Shin Ah-young. I heard you broke up with your boyfriend?"

"Ah! I've heard of that too, isn't that fake news?"

"I went to that boyfriend's Imstar, but I heard that all the pictures we took together have been deleted?"

"Oh really? I've seen you come to school before, and you're very handsome? You're tall. But why?"

"I don't know, but I study well, I live in a good house, and I'm just perfect.

"Or maybe it's because I have a small cock?"

"Hey, are you crazy? Hee hee hee"

As I was quietly listening to the conversation, I heard an interesting sound.

Shin Ah-young broke up with her boyfriend?

They were a couple that went on a date together at Seoul National University Park not too long ago.

I wanted to hear more, but I heard the sound of Shin Ah-yeong's footsteps, so everyone kept their mouths shut.

And after a while, after drinking coffee, we decided to meet next week and dispersed.

Shall we visit today?
