ch 3

"Can I change my group, Prof?" Jihoon asked. Professor Sung stopped gathering the papers in front of him and looked at one of the students of his class. He fixed the position of his glasses before he looked for the list of the groups for their group project of that class.

"Let's see. You're with Choi Hyunsuk, Jung Chaeyeon and Kang Haewon. Do you have any problems with any of them? Is Jung Chaeyeon or Kang Haewon your ex-girlfriend?" Professor Sung asked.

"No,"

"Or did Choi Hyunsuk steal your girlfriend?" Professor Sung asked.

"No. Why did you ask me that?" Jihoon asked.

"I need to find the reason why you want to change your group," Professor Sung said. "Which of the members that you have a problem with?"

"It's Hyunsuk," Jihoon said in a tiny voice.

"Why? Did he get close with a girl that you like?" Professor Sung asked. Jihoon looked at his lecturer in disbelieve. "What? I'm working here. And if there's any rumor about someone who's here, I might have heard it too. Don't you think?"

"No. I just don't think that we can work as a team," Jihoon said.

"Is that so?" Professor Sung asked. He then looked at Jihoon's behind. "Good timing. Choi Hyunsuk. Come here for a bit,"

Jihoon turned back and saw Hyunsuk was just walking toward the door but stopped as their lecturer called him. Jihoon mentally slapped his forehead for what his lecturer just did.

"Yes, Prof?" Hyunsuk asked.

"Do you think that you can't work as a team with Park Jihoon?" Professor Sung asked. Hyunsuk looked at Jihoon. 

"Do you really need to ask him with me here?" Jihoon asked.

"No. I don't think that I will have any problems. Do you have any problem to work as a team with me, Park Jihoon-ssi?" Hyunsuk asked in an obvious mocking tone with a smirk across his lips. It pissed Jihoon off.

"It seems like Park Jihoon wanted to change the group. But. If you're starting to go out as a working adult, you can't simply change your job just because you didn't get along with someone in your workplace, right?" Professor Sung asked. "So, Park Jihoon. What that makes you can't work with Choi Hyunsuk? If you give me an acceptable answer, I will consider your request,"

"He probably can't work with me as a team because we k-" 

"We keep on fighting," Jihoon quickly covers Hyunsuk's mouth with his hand, stopping Hyunsuk from continuing his sentence. Because he can definitely tell what the shorter guy is going to say. "We keep on fighting and I just want to make sure that the project you gave to us can be settled by everyone successfully without any mess,"

"You guys keep fighting? Oh. I didn't notice that," Professor Sung said. "But they said that small fights can make people grow closer. I hope you two can talk out and get along,"

"I will try, Prof,"

"Now. I don't see any more problems that need you to change groups. And you didn't look like you can't get along too. So, good luck," Professor Sung said and walked out of the lecture hall after gathering his stuff.

Jihoon is shocked when he suddenly feels something licking his palm. He forgot that he's still covering Hyunsuk's mouth with his palm.

"Eiw! Why did you lick my hand?!" Jihoon wiped his palm on Hyunsuk's shirt.

"You even swallowed my saliva when we kissed," Hyunsuk said.

"Can you not mention that?!" Jihoon asked.
