"we need to add 5 milliliters," you said to your partner as he grabbed a bottle of a chemical that was on the bench.

"this one?" soonyoung asked, holding a bottle in his hand.

you looked at the label and nodded, "yea, that's it. measure it fast though, this is the one that smells bad," you said to him.

"got it."

you started triple checking the instructions in your lab notebook. you looked at soonyoung and almost started freaking out.

"i said 5, not 50!" you exclaimed.

"huh? oh shit," soonyoung said and put the graduates cylinder down. "sorry, my bad. i'm so tired," he apologized before laughing. "luckily i didn't add it in yet."

"every week, you cause my blood pressure to go higher and higher because of lab," you said to him and grabbed a pipette to use. you measured five milliliters into another graduated cylinder before pouring the correct amount in the flask you were using. "put the rest back before the entire lab smells horrible," you instructed him.

while soonyoung put the rest of the liquid chemical into its original bottle, you made sure the stir bar was spinning in the flask you were using. you set a timer and started looking at the next steps.

"i'll go wash these," soonyoung said to you and grabbed all of the dirty glassware.

"no, i got it. can you grab the next thing we need? i think it's in the other hood," you said to him.

"oh, yea," he nodded and handed you the glassware.

you went to a sink and started cleaning everything. while cleaning, your professor announced something to the entire class, making you nod your head as you listened.

"soonyoung, can you go ahead and take what we kept in the vial and run the thing?" you asked your partner once your professor was done talking.

"run what?" soonyoung asked. you looked over your shoulder.

"you know. with the machine in the other room," you said to him. "the thing i don't know how to say," you added on, hoping he'd understand.

"ohhhhh," he exaggerated, "i don't know how to use the machine. jihoon did everything for me."

you immediately deadpanned before turning forward and sighing.

"i'll figure it out! promise!" he declared.

that's what you said last time and jammed the machine...

"get joshua to help," you said to him right as you finished washing everything. you turned the water off and started drying everything with paper towels while soonyoung went to one of the lab workers for help using a machine in the next room.

you returned to your station and put the cleaned glassware away in their correct drawers. you looked at your phone and saw that you had a decent amount of time left and flipped to another page in your lab notebook.

"professor! we have a problem," you suddenly heard joshua speak. you looked over and saw him sticking his head into the lab from the other room.

then, your professor walked into the room with joshua to see what the problem was. a few seconds later and soonyoung walked out of the room with a piece of paper in his hands.

"what happened?" you immediately asked him as he made it back to your station.

"the machine got jammed after i used it, and the other machine is still messed up from last time," he started, "which means i broke both machines..."

you deadpanned again.

he started nervously laughing, "hey, at least i got the results, right?" he said before handing you the piece of paper.

you looked at the paper and started glaring at him seconds later.

"what?"

"you ran the wrong test, idiot."

"am i gonna get expelled?"

"i wouldn't be surprised if you got banned from the labs."
