"Jihoon-nahh… Can you confirm this part, please?" a voice whined, growing impatient upon noticing Jihoon getting distracted by his other classmates while they were still discussing their project.
"Oh- sorry, where were we again?" Jihoon turned back around apologetically, quickly scanning the notes in front of him as he tried to resume their work.

"That project is still weeks away. Why are you getting so worked up?"
"Yeah, what's the rush all of a sudden? Geez."
They complained with evident dissatisfaction before slipping back into their gossip, occasionally glancing over as they waited for Jihoon to rejoin them. The wait wasn't long–after finishing up, he huddled back into their circle, settling into the familiar flow of their conversation.
