The employee was done scanning the groceries and you pull out your wallet and pay the employee, they hand you your change and receipt. You grab the change and receipt putting it into your wallet, then putting into your pocket. Jung-hoon grabs two bags of groceries and you grab the last one, then you and Jung-hoon leave the store and head towards the bus stop

Jung-hoon: Mmh..my professor scolded me again today about my grades
You: Eh? How? I taught you what to do yesterday, it was simple and I told you to do the rest on your own
Jung-hoon: Mhm..
You: You did something else beside your homework, didn't you?
Jung-hoon: N-No..I did finish a question you started..
You: Jung-hoon..
Jung-hoon:...then finished a season of "fwee!" that I started
You: Jung-hoon!

You lightly tapped the back of his head

You: You need to study more!
Jung-hoon: Uaaaaah..studying is boring! I can't get motivated when studying
You: You don't have to be motivated to study, you just have to find it interesting
Jung-hoon: There is absolutely no topic in anything that I'm studying that I find interesting
You: Is it still science you're struggling in?
Jung-hoon: Yeah..
You: Still struggling with plants cells and the human body of bones?
Jung-hoon: Yeah..
You: I don't understand how you're still struggling with plant cells and the human body of bones, I've been teaching you for two weeks, you have to remember something by now
Jung-hoon: Actually, I do
You: Okay, tell me, name three things from a plant cell
Jung-hoon: Nuclear
You: Nucleus...
Jung-hoon: Micro chronicle
You: Mitochondria...
Jung-hoon: vacuum
You: Vacuole...
Jung-hoon:....I'm an idiot..
You: No, you're not, You we're close on the first one!
Jung-hoon: "Close" isn't going to improve my grade
You: Ok...well, name three bones of the human body and point to it on your body

You and Jung-hoon arrive at a bus stop and wait for it to come as you both hold the groceries

Jung-hoon: The star numb is in your chest
You: Sternum..
Jung-hoon: The hummus is on your upper arm
You: Humerus..
Jung-hoon: and the vibrater is your lower spine
You: Vertebrae..
Jung-hoon:...I'm going to fail..
You: No, No you're not...you might've said the names wrong but at least you pointed to the right places on your body
Jung-hoon: I wish I had a way to focus more on my work and not get distracted so easily
You: Mm..it'll be alright, you'll get it right

The bus comes and you adjust the bags in your hand. The bus stops and opens the doors, you and Jung-hoon get onto the crowded bus and you stand behind Jung-hoon grabbing onto the bar above your head. As another person gets onto the bus and stands behind you and also grab the bar, you whisper in Jung-hoon's ear

You: It's so crowded today...
Jung-hoon: Isn't it always crowded..?
