20. Homework

<Clubhouse>

<Jaywon>

JW: Hey J, need help with any homework? J: No, I'm good, you wanna look it over?  JW: Ok, what about any tests coming up?  J: Not for the next 2 weeks.  JW: I've been meaning to ask why we are in the same grade when you are older?

J: I came over to Korea from the US, when I was in elementary school.  The schedules are different and my Korean wasn't so good, so I ended up retaking 2nd grade.  JW: What about Jake, he's a foreigner?  

J: He told me because his school offered all English IB classes, language wasn't a problem.  He's also smart and likes school.  He's re-learning Korean. His dog only understands English.  JW: Yeah, his Korean has been improving significantly, he'll probably be fluent by year-end, at this rate.

JW: And NI-KI, he's Japanese?  J: I think he's been learning Korean at home and during his backup dancer work for Shinee.

J:  Hey, let's go somewhere during spring break.  JW: Let's go camping on Jeju island with the group?  J: Ok, deal.

HS: So has Jake drank the kool-aid yet?  SH: He has some sort of immunity.  HS: It's not like it doesn't work on foreigners, what's taking so long?  SH: I haven't figured it out yet.  Do you think it's contagious?  

HS: Has your fanbase dropped?  SH: No, on the contrary, it's triple with all our activity.  HS: I didn't think you care for that stuff.  SH: I didn't as an ice skater, but it would be in my contact as an idol.  HS: Well, it's better that he likes you for more than your beauty, right?  SH: I'm not use to that, it would mean I would need to converse with the person. Oh wait? That's what I like about him?

HS: Sometimes, I think you're just talking to yourself with me.  SH: I value your opinion.  HS: But you don't look at me the same way?  SH: The same way?  HS: Yeah, like you do with Jake?  SH: I do? How?  HS: Like you want his baby.  SH: STFU.

<JakeHoonKI>

JK: SH, HS texted, and said you want my baby.  SH: That's not true. JK: Then, why would he say that?  SH: He's messing with you.

JK: Well, I don't understand why you would want Layla, when you have Gauel, other than the fact that Layla is cuter and smarter.   SH: No she isn't.  Gauel is cuter, and 2nd smartest breed.  JK: They're like us, I'm the smarter one.  SH: Yeah, but I'm the better looking one.  

JK: ok, as long as I'm the smarter one.  SH: Yeah, ask anyone who they rather be, smarter or better looking?  JK: That depends on the age bracket.  SH: Overall.  JK: Yeah, keep asking yourself when you're 90.  SH: By then, we would both be old and senile.  

JK: I'm so smart, science would preserve my brain cell for replication, like Einstein and Hawking.  SH: Oh yeah, my beauty is so infinite I can launch 2000 ships, the art world would replace the Mona Lisa with my face, the Venus de milo with my body, and Korea would declare me as a national treasure.

NI-KI: Is this a science or art lesson?  

JK: It's a lesson in humility, and SH lost big time.  SH: Don't think you can change the rules of the game mid-flight, cheater.  JK: Me?  You're the flirt.   SH: You're the chicken.  JK: What?  Ok, why am I the chicken?  SH: You're so ticklish, you rather take flight than accept a touch or confront your fears.

JK: It's my nature, it's beyond my control.  SH: Isn't that what the scorpion said to the toad when he stung him during the ride across the river, after promising otherwise?  JK: Are you saying that's our fate?  SH: I'm just saying, stop using that as an excuse to justify your behavior.  JK: Are you accusing me of holding back?  SH: Are you accusing me of offensive plays?

NI-KI: What are you guys talking about?  I thought this was about homework?

JK: Was it?  SH: Can't recall?  JK: What about it.  SH: Hate it.  JK: I kinda like it.  SH: Nerd.  JK: You know I take that as a compliment.  SH: You know I mean it to flatter you.  JK: Yeah right.

SH: Hey not all of us can be nerds.  They're an important part of the school's ecosystem.  JK: I can see right through your sarcasm.  SH: Really, most people are blinded by my beauty.  JK: Really, your modesty is an obstruction of justice.  SH: Ouch.  Did you just pinch my a*?  JK: You wish.

NI-KI: What subject are we on now?

JK: It's a gentlemen's quarrel with no signs of withdrawal. 

NI-KI: I thought you guys love and support each other?  

Jakehoon: We do.  SH: But we also like to talk s* to amuse ourselves.  JK: What's the score?  SH: You're asking me, you think I would ever say you're ahead.  

JK: You're right. I think we should finish off with homework.  SH: What about it.  JK: I caught on to what you're doing with why you have your fans doing your homework.  SH: Why?  JK: It's some sort of pyramid scheme.  SH: Oh, how so?  how does this relate to my homework?

JK: Well, you promise girls that you would go on a date with them if they collect enough SH hearts by doing your homework, and they recruit more people for a cut, to get more SH hearts, so at the end of the school year, whoever has the most SH hearts gets to go on a date with you, only, you don't plan to go on a date with them.  SH hearts are like a currency that is traded among your fans with no real value and an empty promise which you don't intend to honor.

SH: Where did you get your information?   JK: I asked around.  SH: All celebrities have anti-fans, I'm no different.  Do you seriously believe that?   JK: No, but I wanted to see if you knew what was going on and how you would get out of it.

 SH: Are you accusing me of governing my kingdom like a puppet prince?  JK: If the shoe fits.    Explain yourself?

SH: Ye of little faith.  Yes, there is this so-called SH heart currency.  It was created by my fandom to allow people to be rewarded for helping others with their homework. People are usually embarrassed to ask for help, so they came up with helping SH with his homework. 

There were a lot of people who needed help with their homework, but very few people willing to help strangers.  So if they got SH hearts, they would be willing to correct and help students with their homework.  No cheating, no doing someone else's homework allowed.  At the end of the school year, the top 10 gets a present from me.  They are not doing my homework, they just like the idea that they are and that they would be rewarded/recognized by me.

SH: I'm not just an oblivious shallow looker.  JK: You're making all this up, aren't you?  SH: Believe what you will.  I have nothing to hide.  JK: You want me to believe, you created a homework help system for others  SH: I didn't, my fandom did, and I agreed to help. The gifts are re-gifts from fans with my special message.  And they know.  They like the idea of collecting SH hearts and to brag about it.  The top 3 gets a trophy that's displayed on campus.  JK: Why didn't I know anything about this?  SH: Apparently, my heart is of no interest to you.  JK: Sorry, SH.  I will work harder.

<The perception of value is different, just as time is relative, for each one.>
