My Maid Is the Most Beautiful Girl in School

＜Episode 10＞ Group Task

“Senior, did you hear me?”

After the lecture, I was about to put my laptop in my bag, when the woman sitting next to me spoke to me. Looking at my face, I was the second year student who called me a backseat colleague. name is… … Was it Han So-hye?

Was it a relationship in which we naturally had conversations? Questions arose, but they cannot be ignored.

“What are you talking about?”

“uh? Did you really not hear me?”

“So what?”

“It’s about a group assignment.”

“A group task?”

I didn’t remember hearing it. no need to listen When important news comes out during lectures, it will be posted on the course website anyway.

However, Sohye wiggled her index finger left and right as if teaching.

“Senior, you can’t do that. If you are a college student, you have to listen to the professor even when you are sleeping on your stomach.”

“I can’t sleep for now… … .”

Well, I’m also a normal person who messes around with my laptop.

“But why?”

Why did this child tell me this story?

We’re not really close friends. They’re not even close friends before they know each other. We only had one conversation.

Sohye narrowed her eyes and answered my question.

“The professor told me to form groups of two to three people. And he told me that I had to learn collaboration and code versioning, so it was forbidden to do it alone.”

annoying professor

I had a similar experience in my second year. At that time, I ignored the warning that I must form a group and did all the assignments by myself.

Then the professor asked me why I didn’t join the group, and I had to be put to shame by bowing my head and saying, “I don’t have any friends…”. Ugh, the head… … .

“therefore?”

When she asked the question after clearing her mind that was cluttered with trauma, Sohye put her hand on her chin and gently tilted her head.

“Is that so?”

“yes?”

“Of course, right? We are talking about doing this project together.”

Sohye covered her mouth and smiled.

“You and I?”

“Right.”

“why?”

When asked with a puzzled heart, Sohye shed a bitter smile, saying, “Ahaha.”

“I am taking other subjects with my friends. I don’t have any friends to take this course with… … .”

Is that so? I have one. But he has a lot of people to hang out with, so he doesn’t have a place to put me in, so he’s in the same situation in the end.

No, it’s two now.

He glanced at the seat where Si-eun usually sits. Si-eun had already left for the next lecture.

“So I was worried about what to do when a group assignment came up. I looked around and saw that there was another person similar to me.”

“Is that me?”

“yes!”

Very cool answer. In short, it sounds like you don’t have any friends. It’s even more heartbreaking because it’s true.

“Well… … .”

I’m in trouble for a while.

I don’t want to repeat the trauma I went through last year. So, in the end, you have to decide which group to enter.

However, unlike in middle and high school PE class, the professor does not make me in the same group. I should be in the same group as my friend, but unfortunately I don’t have any.

That means you have to be in the same group as someone you don’t know.

If that’s the case anyway, it wouldn’t be a bad choice to have a win-win relationship with one another.

“Okay.”

When she nodded her head and agreed, Sohye clapped her hands.

“Wow! thank you!”

A bright smile bloomed on his face.

Is this so happy? Well, he may have been thinking about how to form a group in this place where there are only seniors.

“Then, senior.”

“yes.”

After a short answer, So-hye was holding her phone in one hand.

“KakaoTalk ID, can you tell me?”

“Oh, uh, yes.”

Yes. If you are in the same group, you should keep in touch. There was a law that needed a way to communicate anything.

When the ID was called one letter at a time, Sohye pressed down on her phone and wrote it down. Even though his body is already small, even his every move made me feel like a child.

After telling me to the last letter, for some reason, I tilted my head.

“Senior, don’t you have a profile picture?”

“I just didn’t set it up. I’m not getting any contact. I don’t even like taking pictures.”

“a. You can’t do that.”

“What can’t be done?”

At my question, Sohye raised one corner of her lips and smiled.

“You have a pretty face, shouldn’t you show it to me?”

“… … I don’t think so.”

“Oh, senpai, are you upset?”

It’s your fault.

Without even thinking about it, Sohye left a greeting saying, “Whoah, see you next time!” and then ran away.

That’s why I don’t like to talk to insiders… … .

“Did you hear that?”

That evening.

Si-eun, who came to my room to put the clothes after washing, asked quietly.

“What are you talking about?”

He stopped his hand from tapping the keyboard and turned his gaze to the side.

Si-eun sitting on the bed and looking at me. On the right, neatly folded clothes are stacked one after another. When I was doing it, I folded it like a crumple and threw it away.

Si-eun, who met her eyes, turned her gaze to the clothes placed next to her and said.

“It’s something from a lecture.”

“At lecture?”

Among the lectures Si-eun and I take, there is only one subject that overlaps. Maybe that’s where the word came from.

Come to think of it, I heard a similar question after that lecture.

“A group task?”

When asked if she wanted to, Si-eun gave a somewhat surprising expression.

“Do you even take classes?”

“It makes me feel like a piece of trash when I say that.”

Actually, I didn’t even go to class. If So-hye hadn’t told her, there is a possibility that she wouldn’t have known yet. Hmm, looks like garbage is right.

“What are you going to do?”

Si-eun wiggled her hand on the bed and asked.

“You don’t have any friends to hang out with?”

“Well, I don’t have any ‘friends’ to play with.”

Not friends, but some juniors. I was thinking about how to convey this, and then Si-eun threw a word.

“Would you like to come with me?”

“… … ?”

“Did you imagine something strange now?”

“I didn’t.”

It sounds like a strange imagination. It was just a momentary question.

“Why are you all of a sudden with me?”

As if tossing a question, Si-eun ran through her hair with one hand.

“just. After all, it seems like you have no one to hang out with. Besides, if you do it with someone who lives in the same house, you don’t have to get together, so it’s convenient.”

“but.”

That’s right.

The most difficult thing about the group task is that the members do not want to gather at all. It is not uncommon for the person who regrets the most to take care of everything.

But Si-eun and I live in the same house. Unless you run away from home for a few days, you’re bound to meet face to face.

“What do you think?”

Si-eun asked softly.

“Thanks for the great suggestion… … .”

Si-eun has good grades. My coding skills may be inferior to mine, but I have the personality to check everything meticulously. If you are in a group, you won’t have to worry about deducting points.

“Thank you?”

“Actually, I already have someone I want to work with.”

Upon hearing the answer, Si-eun turned her gaze to me, seemingly surprised.

“If you’re talking about your only friend, will he have a team to work with?”

“know. And not him.”

“then?”

“I decided to do it with the girl I talked to last time.”

In an instant, Si-eun’s eyes changed. It was as if electricity had been transmitted through the air. His face was also slightly grimaced.

“Are you close with him?”

“no.”

“Then why did we do it together?”

“He told me to do it. I don’t have any friends who take that course. So I thought it wouldn’t hurt to accept it.”

I don’t know why I’m passing this on to Si-eun straight away.

Either way, it’s not a lie, and there’s nothing to fuss about. I don’t know the meaning of the gaze, but it wasn’t something to hide.

After hearing my explanation, Si-eun folded her arms. Thanks to that, over the thin fabric, ummm, the chest looks prominent. Naturally, I had to look away.

In that state, Si-eun seemed to ponder for a moment.

“Can I ask if I can wear it too?”

asked:

“Are you going to do it together?”

“yes.”

“After all, you can’t do it at home as long as she’s with him, right? Then there’s no benefit, is it?”

“no.”

I asked a natural question, but Si-eun bluntly denied it.

“Remember what I told you last time? If you get a girlfriend, I’ll get kicked out.”

“yes. I remember.”

I have a girlfriend, but I can’t stay in the same house with another girl. Besides, it was the logic that you can ask your girlfriend for simple tasks.

Why is it coming out? When she frowned and rushed to explain, Si-eun stroked her chin and said.

“You don’t know what will happen if two men and women do a group assignment, don’t you? ‘Cause I’m at my best age If I ever get close and get along, I could be kicked out.”

“Even if you don’t need to worry about that… … .”

“It’s better to do the homework with you than to take the risk. Because I will never be able to find a 500-per-month part-time job to provide room and board.”

It’s a firm tone I felt like I was not going to receive any rejection or rebuttal. There wasn’t really any reason to refuse. I’m going to do something else.

I nodded my head.

“okay.”

Then he picked up the phone that was on the desk.

“I’ll tell you now.”

“okay.”

When I turned on KakaoTalk, the name ‘Han So-hye’ appeared at the top of the friend list. I opened my personal chat and entered a text message one by one.

[I have something to say.]

Well, this would be it.

I pressed the send button, and within a few seconds, my phone rang.

[What’s going on, senpai?!]

With emoticons that twinkled in both eyes, a loud message arrived just by looking at it.

Transfer the subject you want to convey to your mobile phone.

[You know a kid named Yoo Si-eun? I’m in my 3rd year and the student council president of my department.]

Again, a reply arrived soon.

[I know! You are a very pretty senior! I envy you!]

Next to him was an emoticon crying. I don’t know if it’s enviable or not, but I’m glad that he seems to know it anyway. Then I wrote a message.

[He asked me to join the group assignment, is it okay?]

I wrote this and hit the send button.

I expected an immediate reply this time too, but it was silent for a while. Just as I was about to send [If you don’t like it.], a message arrived.

[it’s okay!]

Short answer without emoticons. Did you send it because you couldn’t find a suitable emoticon? I don’t know, but if you say it’s okay, it shouldn’t be a problem.

As I was thinking about that, my phone rang once more. Is there anything else you want to say? I immediately checked the screen.

And there.

[By the way, senior.

What is your relationship with Si-eun?

Are you dating?]

This message arrived, along with an emoticon with a large question mark next to his face.

… … uh?
