    Grace, a Mexican girl with deformities, and Sj, a deformed Korean man, were an odd couple. Sj had a passion for flying 5th gen fighter jets, which he often flew over Grace's house, creating a thunderous noise. Grace, on the other hand, enjoyed driving tanks and once drove a tank over Sj's house. Their unusual hobbies caused a lot of disturbances, but they were in love.

    They first began talking on the app called Discord, where Grace was known as Rizzler. Despite their physical difficulties, they found common ground and formed a bond. They were considered the worst couple at Winston Churchill High School, but they didn't care.

    Sj's best friend Vinny despised Grace. He was an attractive man with a big brain, always irritated by Grace's habit of not chewing with her mouth closed. Vinny's girlfriend Daria, equally annoyed, joined him in his disdain for the couple.

    Tensions reached a boiling point, leading to a street fight between the two couples. In the heat of the moment, Vinny stole Sj's jet and Daria stole Grace's tank. This marked the beginning of their self-created world war.

    Amid the chaos, their mutual friend Alberto, known for his love for food, brought tamales for everyone. A brief, five-minute truce was called, during which they enjoyed the delicious tamales. Vinny, despite his animosity, could only manage to eat three.

    When the break was over, the war resumed until Jinwoo, a man loved by everyone, stepped in. He urged them to stop, arguing that their feud was hindering his studies. His plea for peace was unfortunately ignored.

    Suddenly, a man named John appeared, flying slowly over the battlefield. Known for his love of weed, John had brought with him an enormous stash. He began to smoke, laughing and crying simultaneously.

    Overwhelmed by the amount of weed he had consumed, John's lungs collapsed. His sudden health crisis brought the war to an abrupt end, leaving everyone in shock. They finally understood the gravity of their actions.

    In the aftermath of the war, a strange sense of unity emerged among them. They shared a group kiss, signifying their mutual forgiveness. The war had ended, but it had also brought them closer than ever before.

    As they all walked away from the battlefield, a familiar figure joined them: Grimace, a character from their favorite childhood show. They all laughed, reflecting on the absurdity of the day. Despite the chaos, they found peace and unity in the most unlikely way.
