"I'm not surprised. It's really hard to learn a new language sometimes." Nate agreed, struggling to get through the hallway and keep walking beside Jason.

Jason almost walked into someone, but dodged out of the at the last minute. “Sometimes I can’t remember the right word in English and I’ll have to say it over and over on Korean, using it in different sentences.”

"I have to do that for English too but people usually look at me funny for that." Nate joked as he avoided running into someone as well.

Jason saw the stairs coming near, at the end of the hallway, and slowed down. “English is so hard even native speakers can’t speak it.”

Nate noticed Jason slowing down and slowed down to match his speed. "That's so true that it's kinda sad." He laughed.

Jason nodded then light up with excitement when he got an idea. “What if I were to teach you Korean? It’s such a basic language.”

"Oh my god, that would be so cool!" Nate grinned, thinking about how this would give him a reason to spend more time with Jason.

“Lesson one: you could use daebak to express your excitement.” Jason laughed a little at Nate’s excitement.

"Daebak!" Nate shouted down the hall. "I'm gonna be using that a lot from now on."

“Yea, you do that.” Jason followed behind Nate laughing. “I’ll give you a new word tomorrow.”

"Daebak!" Nate responded enthusiastically with a huge grin on his face. He couldn't wait for tomorrow, but he was hoping he'd see Jason at some point again today.

“You seem to really like that word.” Jason laughed. “If you bring paper and a pen to lunch I can teach you how to write it.”

(shoot, I forgot they had lunch together for a minute there XD)
"Yes! Can you teach me another word at lunch too?" Nate asked, really wanting to learn more words. He found that the words were fun to say.

“Is there a category you want or something? Because picking a random word is really hard to narrow it down.” Jason smiles at how excited Nate was.

"I dunno." Nate shrugged and laughed, "Just teach me your favorite words."

Jason thought for a minute, a small list starting to form in his head. “I’ll teach you my favorite Korean words to say. That’ll be fun.”

"Great! I can't wait! Daebak!" Nate grinned and repeated the new word he'd learned. "This is gonna be so much fun!"

“Can’t wait. I’ll write down my list so I don’t forget it.” Jason frowned, as they had approached the stair case. “It looks like we’re going to be late if we don’t hurry up.”

"I guess your right. I'll see you later at lunch." Nate waved and walked down the stairs to his math class.

Jason walked into the crowded cafeteria, happy to see Nate again. He hoped in the long line that, trying to decide what to get.

Nate walked through the cafeteria, looking for a place to sit with the rest of his band. They found an empty table and he saved a chair for Jason as he set his tray down.

Jason decided on something simple, pizza. After he checked out at the end of the line he skimmed the crowd looking for Nate. He located Nate sitting with a couple of other guys. He went over to their table.

Nate waved at Jason as he walked over and gestured to the empty chair next to him. "Hey, Jason! Long time, no see." He laughed.
