Chapter 18 – Drinking Party Attended by Song Hana
Thanks to being divided by attendance order, I was in the same group as Kim So-yoon, and three female students approached me.
“Senior, just summarize the contents of week 2.”
Ji-an Kim, with a chubby body and ordinary appearance, her personality is clear even though she doesn’t stand out.
They just gathered around Kim So-yoon, and Kim Ji-an led the conversation at her quiet desk.
“I know.”
“Ah… Yes, sorry.”
“Foot! Ji-an looks timid even after seeing her for a long time?”
Kim So-yoon responded bluntly to the information she gave, and she burst into laughter.
“Do you two know each other?”
“Hey, everyone knows except you. How can a freshman not know his classmates more than me?”
Kim So-yoon had a great influence on Kim Jian being able to lead her conversation. On the days when I was living alone and not meeting other students, I used to say that everyone I would meet was met.
Kim Ji-an and Kim So-yoon were also tied to the senior and junior lines determined by the student council.
So-yoon Kim helped Ji-an Kim register for classes, and she even made several appointments at the beginning of the semester.
“Taeyang, by any chance… I don’t know?”
So Kim Jian led the conversation, and the female classmate sitting in front of me was even able to ask if she didn’t know him.
“I don’t know.”
Since you asked in informal language, I also answer in informal language.
“Fuha! Hey! You’re twenty years old, right?”
“Yes, I’m 20 years old.”
When I asked in informal language and answered in informal language, Kim So-yoon laughed out loud, and the female classmate sitting in front of me was embarrassed.
This is the downside of being an asshole.
Although there is good information about a beautiful woman among social welfare students, there is no other information.
I don’t know who the woman who asked me the question was, and I didn’t even know her name.
“Hey, are you going to speak informally to Seon-ah while speaking politely to me?”
Quickly scan the whiteboard.
Groups divided by the professor in order of attendance, and names of members in each group,
The group I belong to is group 2, and next to it are Kim So-yoon, Kim A-ram, Kim Ji-an, Kim Tae-yang, and Seon-ah Seon.
“I’m sorry. I thought we were the same age.”
Seona, Kim So-yoon, called the female classmate sitting in front of me that way, and there was no one in group 2 with the same name.
“No, it’s okay, but do you really not know me?”
Noh, there is no name like that in my memory.
I checked her face just in case, but Seon Seon-a is of average beauty with featureless black hair.
She wasn’t on the list of women I found on social media, and I was certain I didn’t know Noh Seon-ah.
“Yes, where did we meet separately?”
“That’s not true, I sent you the information that my seniors gave me at the beginning of the semester, so I asked…”
As it is a social welfare department, there is a welfare program for freshmen, and I also benefited from the welfare program at the beginning of the semester.
“Ah! Seona?”
Seniors provided freshmen with information about school life or arranged meetings,
I deliberately avoided meeting students at the beginning of the semester, when it was a good time for men and women to meet.
Whenever that happened, a person named ‘Seonna’ often sent me a messenger and relayed to me the information that the second year seniors had given me.
Even if I said it was okay, the messenger continued until the end of March,
The meetings between seniors and freshmen gradually decreased and eventually ended.
“Was it Seona’s older sister?”
“Yes, it’s Seona… But can’t I call her by her proper name?”
“Seonah is difficult to pronounce, so I’ll call her Seona.”
I had an inner intimacy with a woman named Noh Seon-ah.
In a strange way, she was more than happy to see me, but she seemed happy when I recognized her.
I was grateful for the kindness that Noh Seon-ah had given me, and the perspectives of those around her had changed.
“I’m sorry. Shall we start by deciding on roles for the group assignment?”
“Hey, the kids were surprised.”
Ji-an Kim, who had led the conversation clearly, looked up at my face blankly,
Kim A-ran, who was sitting quietly and following the flow of the conversation, made an interesting expression.
“I also send and receive messenger messages. From my second year onwards, I tried to work hard in my academic life as well.”
Thanks to Kim So-yoon and Noh Seon-ah, the feelings of rejection that arose due to his large size and gangly appearance completely disappeared.
“Okay, are you working hard?”
“Senior, I hope you work hard on your group assignments. Are you going to retake the class again?”
“No, absolutely not. Jian, let’s decide the role first, as he said.”
In a friendly conversation, each person’s role was decided.
Ji-an Kim and A-ram Kim conducted data research,
I organized the data and assisted with the PPT, and Soyoon Kim produced the PPT,
Noh Seon-ah took charge of the presentation.
It took less than a few minutes to divide up the roles, giving us time to look at the other groups.
In other groups, most people are reluctant to give presentations,
Even after 30 minutes had passed, several groups were seen unable to decide on their respective roles.
“Thanks to Seon-ah, our group can go comfortably.”
“No, I do it because I enjoy giving presentations… I’m more grateful.”
It was quite different from how our group was able to set a schedule through Seon-ah Noh’s presentation.
“Taeyang, will you send me the data I researched next Monday?”
“Send it by 6pm on Monday.”
“Okay. 6 PM! I’ll go first, senior!”
As soon as the 30 minutes provided by the professor passed, the 3 o’clock major lecture also passed.
People who had gathered in groups dispersed and left the lecture room, or gathered in front of the professor.
Kim Ji-an, who belonged to the former group, also left the classroom once her role and schedule were decided.
Kim So-yoon, Kim A-ram, Noh Seon-ah and I remained at the desk where we had a friendly conversation.
Seon-ah left after Ji-an Kim.
“Aram, is there anyone waiting?”
Kim So-yoon looked curiously at Kim A-ram, who remained in her seat even after most of the students left the classroom.
“Yes, there is someone waiting. What about you, senior?”
“I’m forcing him to sit down because he won’t get up.”
Kim A-ram has someone waiting for her, but Kim So-yoon is forcing me to get up and sit down?
“I didn’t tell you not to go.”
“You said you’d buy me dinner.”
“I said I would buy it next time, but I didn’t say it would be today.”
“It’s petty.”
We had been bickering just like we had been bickering with Kim So-yoon for the past few weeks, and now Kim A-ram was looking at us both curiously.
“Taeyang, when did you become so close with Soyoon?”
Kim A-ram, unable to contain her curiosity, took off her hat and mask, and the anticipation in her pretty eyes crumbled.
“When I was giving a non-face-to-face lecture, I sent the wrong chat message to my senior.”
“Have you become friends like that?”
“Yes, then we switched to face-to-face lectures, and we met, and our personalities matched well, so we became close friends.”
Kim A-ram was beautiful only in her eyes.
I nudged Kim So-yoon’s forearm with my elbow, completely throwing away her shattered expectations.
“Ha! Do you and I have good personalities?”
When I started arguing, Kim So-yoon frowned.
“Arim, don’t you think it suits you well?”
“What is that? You play around and she accepts it. It doesn’t go well!”
Kim So-yoon puts on a triumphant look on her face as Kim A-ram takes her side. She looks like she’s telling me to admit that she’s right, and I’m wrong.
“Hey, did you hear? Don’t touch it.”
“Yes, I will buy you dinner tonight.”
“Why is the story like that? It was yours to live from the beginning.”
On Monday and Tuesday, Kim So-yoon was crushed under me and swayed without a break.
It was something that would hurt her pride or feel bad because of her nature of taking the lead in relationships,
Kim So-yoon took advantage of the opportunity when Kim A-ram took her side to relieve her hurt feelings on Monday and Tuesday.
“If there is a food you want to eat, please tell me. I will search now and find it.”
I didn’t play around with Kim So-yoon to start an argument.
Among the group of students gathered in front of the professor, Song Hana kept glancing at Kim A-ram. Kim A-ram waited for Song Hana, and I made a dinner date with Kim So-yoon.
“I want to eat lamb.”
“What kind of lamb is a college student? It’s pork.”
“Chii… Aram, do you like pork?”
“Let’s eat together. I have no money.”
Kim So-yoon, who has a secretly kind personality, takes care of Kim A-ram.
“Hey, I’ll buy it for Aram, so don’t worry.”
Up to this point, things have gone in the direction I hoped, but Kim A-ram rejected Kim So-yoon’s proposal.
“No. There is someone else buying it for me today.”
Song Ha-na was not the only person Kim A-ram was waiting for.
Today, there was someone who bought Aram Kim dinner, and two men came into the classroom.
“Aram, why don’t you come out?”
“I guess Hana needs to talk to the professor. He gave us a group assignment today.”
Looking at Kim A-ram’s use of honorifics, one could guess that she was in the second or third year.
“Hello!”
Since I don’t remember him, he may not be an important person in the department, but he makes a good first impression.
“Who are you?”
“My classmate. Kim Taeyang, who is in the same group as Suna.”
“Huh? You’re in the same group as Seon-ah?”
I bowed to two men who appeared to be seniors in the Department of Social Welfare and very briefly explained information they did not know.
“I didn’t know there was a kid like this among first-graders. Are you good at soccer?”
“Yes! You’re good!”
“Taeyang… You said you would attend department events in the second semester, right?”
“Yes! I will attend!”
One of the men who was frightened by his large size was
When I bowed and politely introduced myself, I started by talking about soccer.
“Okay, let’s join the club first.”
“Choi Tae-wook, you idiot, we’ll do that next time and then Song Hana comes.”
Choi Tae-wook, who brought up the topic of soccer for the first time, was stopped by a man wearing a white hat.
“No. Don’t worry about it and just talk. I’ll also talk to Aram.”
After finishing talking with the professor, Song Hana came around to us and left so that Choi Tae-wook could continue talking about soccer.
“Kim So-yoon, were you there too? Are you retaking the course?”
“Shut up. Aram, let’s go out.”
“Keuhum! Taeyang, let’s continue talking.”
A man wearing a white hat followed Song Hana and Kim So-yoon, but I was caught by Choi Tae-wook.
“Are you a soccer club?”
“Uh, it’s the social welfare department club. The college of social sciences is holding a competition in the second semester, right? So we’ll get together during the vacation and that’s it. If you’re good at soccer, you’ll join, right?”
Kim So-yoon and Song Hana, two attractive women left the classroom, and a man wearing a white hat followed them.
“Yes, you should sign up. All you have to do is add it to the list.”
“Oki, I’m going to invite you to the room, so give me your number.”
“010- xxxx – xxxx.”
“010- xxxx – xxxx, right? Uh, I’ll invite you. After we have a drink and talk together.”
“Am I going too?”
“Of course we should go together. We should go together and get tested by me to see if we are good at soccer.”
I joined the club because I didn’t want to waste time, and I attended the drinking party with Choi Tae-wook’s authority.
“Hey, what’s my dinner?”
“Senior, can’t you eat it too? It’s pork.”
“Okay, Kim So-yoon, let’s eat together too.”
Kim So-yoon, who was talking with Song Ha-na and Kim A-ram in the hallway, also attended the drinking party,
A perfect gender ratio of three men and three women was achieved.
