Our group had a meeting for the project after two days. It was really difficult to match our schedules because we had our own programs that we needed to attend. We also opened a group chat to keep in contact and decided the time of our meeting there.

I had my assignments to complete so I had to sleep late the other night and couldn't get much sleep. So I was really tired that day. I left my house early so that I could have breakfast on my way. I also needed to get a part time job because my bank account was almost empty. Anyways I went to cafè and had a cup of latte and stuffed a sandwitch into my mouth as soon as possible and left for college.

After I reached the meeting room, I tried to find my group members. But they were nowhere to be seen. I let out a sigh unconsciously. Is the same thing going to repeat again? But then I heard someone calling out my name. When I faced at that direction, I saw a girl. She was Eunseo, a member of our group. She was as pretty as her name.

I felt a bit happy although there was no reason to. I went up to her and we took one of the table for our discussions.

"Others are late, aren't they?" She looked around the entrance, searching if someone had come through.

"I bet, they aren't coming," I mumbled to myself.

"Did you say something?" She asked turning her face to me.

"Oh, nothing. Should we start?" I asked her. It would only be a waste of time if we wait for them.

"What about them?" She looked a bit confused. Bet she had it easy until now. It's a little hilarious to me.

"We'll inform them everything later. Let's not be late," I smiled at her trying to avoid the situation we're into.

"Okay, let me just send them a message," She took out her phone.Though that doesn't help. I opened up some references in my laptop for our project. When I looked at her, my eyes fell on her nails. Her nail paints were really nice. Some red flowers with a sky blue background. Must have took some effort to do that.

"Okay, I'm done," she put down her phone. I came back to realization. Sometimes I start to think about really random things which is really annoying.

"Okay then. Our project is on the effect of communities of practice on organizational performance, right? So I searched out some references for that last night for research objectives," I turned my laptop to her so that she could see it.

"Oh, you are fast Yeon," she chuckled.

"Haha, it would be nice to finish early, no?" I hoped she wouldn't take advantage of this like others.

"Yeah. Okay so let's just go throught it and select those which would be the best," she sounded like she was willing to participate in the work. That made me relax a bit.

And from that we talked about how should we made the points so that it would be more appealing and which organisations should we take as examples.

And in the end others didn't show up. But I was a little surprised that Taehyung didn't come though I was relieved. I didn't want to meet him after what he said yesterday. It would be awkward for me and I didn't know what he would be like to me in front of everyone else. I didn't even know why he was like that to me in the first place. If he wanted to lecture me about others taking advantage of me and I was a idiot for that he should've showed up for the meeting. He should be thanking me because I was doing his part for him.

At last Eunseo and I decided to just message the file to them. And they will take it from there.

We left the room after saying goodbye. I was actually feeling good that day. It was so much better having at least one person than doing everything by myself.

I had another class in about 15 minutes. So I directly went to my classroom. I have Jiwoo waiting for me there.

I saw my friend already reserving seat for us. So went and I sat beside her. She didn't notice me. She was lost in her own thoughts. So I snapped my fingers to get her down to earth. She flinched at my sudden action.

"What are you dreaming?" I asked her when she looked at me.

"Oh, nothing," she gave me a nervous laugh. She was trying to brush off something interesting.

"Okay, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to," and I knew just the right way to make her talk.

"It's not like that," she was playing with her fingers most probably not knowing what to do.

"Actually I don't want to take this class right now," she murmured to herself l drawing on her palms with her fingers.

"Why? What happened?" I became a little worried about this. Is she losing interest on this course? That would be a serious problem.

"Actually--the professor called me out the other day. I thought something was wrong with my assignment." She paused for a moment and gulped.

"Yeah go on."

"But it wasn't about that. He was being all nice to me and out of nowhere he asked me to go out with him," she finally looked at me in eyes. "And I was not sure what to do, so I told him to give me some time to think."

I was completely awe after listening to her. I didn't know what to say because I wasn't ready for that.

"Hey, what should I do?" She tugged my sleeves.

"Ahh, isn't that great? He is one of the professor many girls fawn over. Also he has a handsome face ," I tried to cheer her up a bit. And what I said wasn't wrong. He started his career one year ago after graduating from our college. I heard that he was really brilliant as a student. So he got to be a professor here immediately after his graduation.

"It's not about that. First of all, I am a student and he is a professor. So we wouldn't be able to have much time to spend with each other. And I'm afraid that if I reject him, he would be unfair to me on my assignments."

"Hey, don't worry about that. He has to respect your decision, no? And if he does something like that, we can complain, okay? So relax now."

"Yeah...okay," she slowly nodded in response.

Jiwoo was uncomfortable the whole class. She barely looked at the professor. She just listened to his lecture and took notes.

At that night I send the files to the group chat so that others could at least do the rest of the part. I reminded them to kindly do their work properly as our marks will be counted for the midterms.

Other two guys apologised saying they had some work so they couldn't join us. It was always the best excuse everyone had. I didn't bother and said it's okay. Even though they at least apologized but Taehyung didn't even see the messages.

Just what is he upto? Atleast do the rest. I'm not gonna do it for him. If he doesn't submit his part I'm gonna remove his name from the project.
