Chapter 1: A Group Chat Like No Other

Part 1

It was a typical Wednesday evening when the group chat started buzzing with activity. Myung-gi kicked things off with a simple "Annyeonghaseyo" (hello) to which Jun-hee responded with a string of laughing emojis. Min-su chimed in with a witty remark about Myung-gi's lack of creativity when it came to greetings. The chat was already filled with the usual suspects: Myung-gi, Jun-hee, Min-su, Thanos, Nam-gyu, Mi-na, and Se-mi. As the conversation flowed, it became clear that Nam-gyu and Mi-na were not on the best of terms. A few weeks ago, they had gotten into a heated argument over a misunderstanding, and the tension between them was still palpable. Myung-gi, ever the peacekeeper, tried to steer the conversation towards safer topics, like the upcoming K-pop concert. But Nam-gyu and Mi-na couldn't help but exchange a few barbed remarks. Thanos, the Mad Titan himself, suddenly appeared in the chat with a bombshell: "I've been thinking of reorganizing the universe's resources... again." The group erupted into a mix of laughter and concern. Min-su joked that Thanos should focus on reorganizing his own closet, given his notorious love of gaudy outfits. Se-mi chimed in with a question about the feasibility of Thanos' plans, while Jun-hee wondered if it was related to his infamous Infinity Stones. Meanwhile, the snarky comments between Nam-gyu and Mi-na continued to fly back and forth. It seemed like no one could intervene before things escalated further. Myung-gi tried to diffuse the situation by suggesting a group outing to a new arcade that just opened up in town. Jun-hee enthusiastically agreed, while Min-su joked that they'd need to bring Thanos' stones to "influence" the games. Se-mi innocently asked if Mi-na was going to join them, and the conversation froze. Mi-na responded with a curt "Of course, I'll be there," while Nam-gyu snarkily remarked that he wasn't sure if he could "tolerate" Mi-na's presence. The group's dynamics had just become a lot more complicated. The chat continued to buzz with activity, but it was clear that Nam-gyu and Mi-na's beef was far from over. As the group continued to discuss their plans for the outing, it was uncertain what other drama would unfold. Would they be able to put their differences aside and have a fun day out, or would the tension between Nam-gyu and Mi-na tear the group apart? The story was just beginning to unfold.
