Presentation.

January 5 2024.

College. Worse than school.

Lesser friends, more rumours.

She came to class early and put on her headphones, picking a random song that happened to be VERY NICE by seventeen.

The girl started bopping her head to the music until the chorus came when she did something....embarrassing.

"AJU NICE!"

She yelled, not realizing who was standing in the classroom.

She pretended to hold a mic and started wiggling around before opening her eyes, almost falling off her chair once she saw Taehyun standing there with an awkward smile.

"Oh? Uhh.....good morning."

He waved, walking over and sitting next to the flustered girl.

"Morning."

She replied, covering her face with her hair and turning away from the boy.

Taehyun reached for her headphones and took them off, startling the girl who had turned around to look at him.

"I like your new hair color."

He complimented, giving her a smile.

"Thank you."

She smiled, nodding her head vigourously.

"Nǐ hǎo mǔgǒu!"

Huening kai chirped, entering the room.

"Nihao -what?"

Y/N questioned, wondering what the boy had just said.

"I said hello in chinese."

He said, skipping to his seat.

"I know Nihao means hello in chinese bruh, what does the next part mean?"

She asked, turning away from Taehyun smoothly.

"Heh...you know.....beautiful lady."

He muttered, having a nervous look on his face.

"He said hello bitches."

A voice said, sitting down beside Hieningkai.

"What are you doing here?"

Huening kai asked, looking at the 5"2 girl.

"The teacher changed my place from the last bench because I punched my seatmate in the nose."

Hannah said calmly, taking out her notebook and opening it.

"Why did you punch the kid?"

Taehyun asked curiously.

"That wench cut my hair."

Hannah muttered, undoing her bun to reveal a wolf cut instead of her long hair.

"Oh my days."

YN muttered, standing up from her seat dramatically.

The students started filling in as the clock struck 7:55 am.

Y/N looked around before sitting down and clearing her throat.

Why is this happening to me?

Ring ring ring!

"Okay class, as you all know, I got sick last month so we were unable to do our presentations."

The teacher smiled, standing behind the podium.

"Shit."

All four collectively exclaimed.

"Y/N, quick. Take out your tab and give it to me."

Taehyun whispered and Y/N passed her tablet to the boy.

"What're you doing?"

"I'm gonna connect our bluetooths to this and make it read out the script in our ears."

Taehyun whispered before reaching into his bag and pulling out a yellow, white, green and red single ear bluetooths and giving it to Y/N, Huening and Hannah.

"Don't worry, I'm the leader of the group so we go only when the letter K comes up. We got time."

Taehyun whispered, noticing the group's concerned expression.

A

B

C

D

E

And soon...

K.

"Kang Taehyun, Huening kai, Hannah Bahng and Choi Y/N up next."

The professor called out before the four walked up to the stage with rather comfident looks.

"Hello, everyone! This afternoon, we'll be conducting a presentation focusing on the MBTI. Or rather, personalities."

Taehyun started before sighing Y/N to come forward.

"Okay so how many of you here know your mbti?"

Y/N asked, rather disappointed at how 95% of the students raised their hands.

"It doesn't matter 'cause you guys are gonna take the test again!"

She annouced in a highly sarcastic and energetic voice.

Fellow classmates, please take the tablets or the laptops provided by our school and open the website projected on the screen.

"Fellow classmates, please take the tablets or the laptops provided by our school and open the website projected on the screen."

Y/N instructed.

The students did as told, except some who were knocked out in the back but who cares about them?

Now before you guys take the test, Huening kai and Hannah will explain our topic.

"Now before you guys take the test, Huening kai and Hannah will explain our topic."

Y/N interrupted before stepping back.

"Okay good morning guys, I'm Hannah and I'll be the first to explain."

Hannah introduced herself before the Ai started speaking in her ear.

(You can skip this.)

MBTI, or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a popular personality assessment tool..... lack of scientific validity in capturing the complexity of human personality.

(Done.)

"MBTI, or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, is a popular personality assessment tool. It categorizes individuals into 16 personality types based on preferences in four dichotomies: Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving. While widely used, critics argue its oversimplification and lack of scientific validity in capturing the complexity of human personality. Moving on to Kai."

She 'explained' before letting Kai step forward.

(You can skip this)

Introduce yourself.

MBTI aims to identify innate preferences in how people perceive and interact with the world. ...... criticize its reliability and question its utility in predicting behavior. Let Taehyun speak next.

(Done)

"Hiya there fellas', so as you know I'm Huening kai. And MBTI aims to identify innate preferences in how people perceive and interact with the world. Developed by Isabel Briggs Myers and Katharine Cook Briggs, it's rooted in Carl Jung's theories. Users receive a four-letter type, example: INTP that reflects their dominant traits. Despite popularity, some psychologists criticize its reliability and question its utility in predicting behavior. Taehyun?"

Huening kai called before stepping back.

"MBTI enthusiasts like you and me often find value in understanding communication styles, career choices, and team dynamics. However, caution is advised as it lacks empirical support, and personalities can be fluid. Critics argue it oversimplifies human complexity and can lead to stereotyping. Personal growth and development are better approached with a nuanced understanding of individual differences. Now, Y/N will instruct us through the test."

Taehyun spoke calmly, sending Y/N a small wink before she stepped forward.

"Alright people, To take the MBTI on 16Personalities:

1. Begin the free test by answering a series of questions about your preferences.

2. You get 25 minutes to answer each and every question honestly. Remember, it's your personality, don't change it for people.

3. Complete the assessment honestly and thoughtfully.

4. Receive your result, which includes a four-letter personality type and detailed insights.

5. Explore the provided information on strengths, weaknesses, and career advice associated with your type.

6. Keep in mind that it's a tool for self-awareness, not absolute categorization.

You may begin."

Y/N spoke, her voice almost sounding AI like.

The twenty five minutes had gone by with the teacher dozing of on the chair.

"Okay time's up!"

Hannah yelled, getting the attention of the students.

"Okay, how many of you got I?"

Huening kai asked, stepping forward.

30% students raised their hands.

"How many of you got E?"

Hannah asked, stepping beside the taller.

70% raised their arms.

"How many of you here got E but have friends who got I?"

Y/N asked, stepping beside Hannah.

Only 50% of 70 raised their hands.

"How many of you here with I have friends with E?"

Tasehyun asked the final question, stepping beside Y/N.

25% raised their hands.

"See? This is proof that regardless of your personality, people are gonna be friends with you."

Y/N spoke with a small smile.

"Our presentation concludes now. Appreciate your time! Goodbye!"

Taehyun ended before the four rushed to their seats.

"Well done kids, but you guys were supposed to make a presentation on any topic....in our syllabus. But nonetheless, you guys got the grade for youe effort. Good job."

The teacher said before dismissing the class for lunch, saying that he would continue after lunch.

Though, all four of them have different classes after lunch.

___________

Earlier that day, before college had started.

Y/N stood infront of her mirror and stared at herself.

Why do I feel so.....lifeless?

The girl cautiously lifted up her shirt, revealing six stitches decorating her abdomen.

She's been hiding them for the past ten days, smiling through out the pain.

No one had a clue that the girl was in pain. Not even Beomgyu.

Y/N sighed before pulling down her shirt and taking her phone that laid on the counter.

She scrolled through the handful of contacts she had until she picked one and dialed.

"Yeah Eunjonni? Can you check the wound?"

Y/N asked once the latter picked up the call.

"Oh sure! Come over to the hospital."

Eunjo answered.

"Okay, I'll be there in around...uhh 20 minutes."

"Alright, I'll be waiting. Bye."

"Bye."

Y/N hung up and placed the phone in her pocket before walking out of her room's bathroom.

She looked at her alarm that displayed 06:30 am.

College starts at eight.

I got time.

The now violet highlighted hair girl took her keys and walked out of the dorm room, making sure her brother didn't wake up.

"Y/N?"

She heard a voice from behind her.

"Huh?"

She turned around to see Soobin standing there with his phone.

"Where're you going?"

He asked, stepping a little closer to the girl so that others wouldn't listen in on their conversation.

"Oh just to pick up some uhh coffee."

She answered after a few seconds of thinking, surprised on how quick she came up with it.

"Oh okay....Are you taking proper care of your stitches?"

He asked.

Y/N, surprised how he didn't insult her (and about the fact that he knew), widened her eyes.

"Y-yeah....how'd you know?"

She asked, turning around completely to face him.

"I didn't want Beomgyu to worry about you more so I told the doctor to tell me as I am also a friend."

He smiled a little, hoping to make a good impression on the younger. And hoping that Yeonjun wouldn't get mad over him insulting her every five minutes.

"Thanks.....don't tell anyone about the umm.....stitches, and this conversation."

Y/N spoke before walking away swiftly.

"W-wait...I wanted to apologize..."

He said but the girl had already walked away.

_________

With a wince of pain, Y/N started her bike and drove off to the hospital she got treated for an older stab wound that is no longer that visible on her back.

The girl rushed to the hospital and parked the bike before walking over to the receptionist.

"Good morning miss, how can I help you?"

The lady behind the table asked.

"Uhh can I see Nurse Eunjo?"

Y/N asked, plastering a small smile on her face.

"Sure, I'll call her to come, what's your name miss?"

She asked, picking up the phone.

"Y/N, Choi Y/N."

"Alright- oh Eunjo-yah you have a visitor here at block A....Her name's Y/N...Oh you know her? Okay. Sure."

The worker placed the phone on the receiver and looked up at the girl.

"She'll be here in a few minutes miss."

The lady said with a smile and Y/N nodded.

"Anyways, you seem so young. What are you doing here in a hospital?"

She asked, a little concerned.

"I have a small wound....she just checks up on the stitches."

Y/N answered shortly, and the lady nodded, not prying furthermore.

"Y/N!"

Eunjo yelled, waving her hand in the air.

Y/N bowed to the nurse and walked over to the resident.

"Oh Eunjonni, good morning."

Y/N greeted, waving her hand a little.

(Eunjo+eonni = Eunjonni)

"Mm morning, come on, let's go to my room."

Eunjo said before dragging the girl over to the room she had to sleepover at sometimes.

"Sit here."

She said, making the girl sit on a chair before seating herself on a stool.

"Okay, let me see."

She said, putting on gloves. The other lifted her shirt up, revealing the stitches she had been hiding.

"Oh? It healed. Usually stitches take around seventeen to twenty days to heal but yours healed in eleven days Y/N."

Eunjo informed while inspecting the wound.

"Oh....uhh what are you gonna do now?"

Y/N asked, tilting her head.

"I can remove them and bandage it. Shall I do it Y/N?"

Eunjo asked patiently, taking a pair of scissors and tweezers.

"Sure.."

She answered, a bit skeptical.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Just a light tugging sensation."

Eunjo chuckled before snapping the first stitch.

"So Y/N, how old are you?"

Eunjo asked, cutting the second stitch.

Y/N, who had her eyes shut tightly closed, slowly opened them and saw Eunjo calmly work on her stitches.

"I'm turning twenty this year..."

She informed, opening her eyes completely and staring at Eunjo, as if waiting for an answer even though she hadn't asked a question.

"I'm 21 Y/N."

Eunjo answered, cutting the last stitch and pulling the thread out.

She took a cotton pad and placed it on top of the wound mark and wrapped Y/N's waist with a sterile gauze roll before taking out a lollipop from her bag and giving it to the girl who had pulled down her shirt.

"Stop coming to see me with a wound. Come with a boyfriend or something next time."

Eunjo said before walking Y/N out of the hospital.

"Thanks for helping, I'll come see you on saturday with my friends."

Y/N said getting on her bike.

"Oh saturday's my day off. I'll send you my house's address if you want."

Eunjo said to which Y/N nodded before driving off to college.

She parked her bike before skipping to class.
