I forced my creaking body to move today and headed toward the school café. It was our weekly meeting, just to discuss assignments with Kang Suhyeon, excluding lectures. As soon as the topic changed, Kang Suhyeon lost interest and tried to subtly back out of our meeting. Today was no exception; it was one of those days.

"I have to go take care of my grandfather, he’s going into surgery (crying). You understand, right?"

"Yeah, don't come."

For context, Kang Suhyeon’s grandfather passed away twice earlier this semester. And one of her profile pictures on social media was of a cake with 'Happy Birthday, Grandpa' written on it. How many grandfathers does this idiot have? At least four in total, I guess.

"Thanksㅠ I love my grandfather too much, I can't help itㅠ"

"ㅇ"

I clicked my tongue and turned around. I guess I’ll have to make this silly assignment look as decent as possible. It was a topic I suggested impulsively, and while writing it, I felt like it was some kind of show-off topic that even middle schoolers wouldn’t use... I started feeling disillusioned and was about to change the whole thing. But this time, it was the professor who got in the way.
