It took me some time to adjust to my new environment. High school life was normal. Compare to my college life, high school life looks like a kitty party. It wasn't so busy and hectic then. Everyone took their time to adjust in the environment. But university is different. You are given a lot of assignments. And there is always group projects from time to time. So the fast you are to adjut the more you are ahead in the competition.

Group projects is hell for some people and heaven to some others. There is always the people who has to do the most work and the people who are free loaders. The free loaders would always get grades that they don't deserve because they didn't really worked for it. And others have to work day and night on it to get good marks and that eventually leads to the free loaders getting good marks.

And as for me it was hell.

For some reason, I was always unlucky at that. People took it for granted that I had to do all the work. If I wasn't so nice to others, I wouldn't have to suffer like that. But well, I would always try to get the most work out of them. When the project would be done, the others would treat me to meals and I wasn't very happy about that. Because those meals can't compensate the nights I had given up my sleep for. Though I was the one who would work hard, but the whole group would get the same appreciation. That's why, I hated group projects.

And this group project was the way Taehyung and I met face to face. And it wasn't very nice I would give you that.

Once we were placed in the same group. While others were being happy that I was in their group, I only sighed in the midst of this happy atmosphere. I remember one of them saying, "Taehyung, we have Soyeon, so we don't need to worry. She helps all the people in her group," being all jolly and contented.

What does it mean by help. And why do I have to help them. This is their project too. That was what I would think everytime that happened. But because it's actually reality whether I like it or not, I didn't want to bother. It would be too much if I refused then. They would talk behind my back, like how I helped others but when it comes to this project ai didn't help them. And I wouldn't want to be in that situation. Yeah maybe I'm a lame ass sucker but who cares. As long as I can graduate without any trouble I'll tolerate everything.

Taehyung was confused because this is our first time being in the same group. "Really?" Taehyung put it more like a question facing me. I smiled in response. Because really, I didn't have anything to say.

"Yeah, man. Don't worry," said the other guy. I wish I had given given him a death glare. But what could I do, I was fixed in that situation.

And when everyone left and I was uttering some words of condolence in dispay to myself. I was too focused on my stress that I didn't even notice Taehyung was still there at the time I was leaving. I panicked internally a little contemplating whether he heard me or not. And I was definitely not ready for what was coming.

"You must be an idiot to let others free load off of you." He looked at me, straight into my eyes. The eyes I have seen at that time gave me shivers down my spine. It was cold. And the smile I had seen was more like a mocking smirk. I was really shocked. It's like he was a completely different person than the image I had of him in my mind.

And then he just left. I stood there for some time still uncertain of the situation. When I came back to reality I couldn't hold in my rage.

I shouted in the empty hall,"IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT THIS." My words echoed back at me in the empty hall repeatedly.

Who knew the boy who I thought was a easy going smiley person would be like this. Moreover, he didn't know me until now but he has the nerve to act like that? So that's the moment I decided I didn't want any business with him.

And my hate for group projects? Well, it went up a few notch.
