The8 knew Jun was Chinese, it was obvious. However Jun still hadn't picked up the fact that The8 was aswell.

So every little curse Jun muttered in Chinese, The8 understood and had to bite his tongue from responding.

"So what are we doing today?" The8 asked in Korean as he quickened his pace to keep up with Jun.

"Well I work in the section of Bananas, Papaya, Vegetable Garden and sometimes experimental crops. So I guess you can help me there." Jun answered.

So the 2 walked in silence until The8 couldn't take it any longer. "Are you naturally quiet or do you already hate me?" He joked as Jun turned to him.

"I- uh I have anxiety when it comes to talking to new people. I'm really sorry. I promise I don't hate you." Jun said, clearly embarrassed about his first impression.

"Well good to know!" The8 smiled as they arrived at the Bananas Feild. "Okay so what and how do we do this." He asked.

"Bucket. Pick the ones that are yellow and ripe and also some slightly green ones." Jun said handing The8 a bucket.

"Avoid bruised ones!" Jun called over his shoulders.

The banana trees were nearly 25 feet tall, each tree with almost 250 bananas on them. "Damn, this will be fun." The8 said to himself as he started picking ones from his height.

It only took him about 10-15 minutes to fill up his bucket full of the perfect Bananas he could find. Now he had no idea what to do with them.

"Jun! What do I- ugh- do with this bucket." The8 called looking around for where the older was, however he must have taken a wrong turn because these trees made it like a maze.

"Oh your not Jun." The8 said running into another person. He had faded blue hair that looked almost blonde.

"And your not Jun either. You must be one of the new summer workers Mr. Boo told us about. I'm Kun, I work in the Experimental crops and vegetables gardens." Kun held his hand out.

"Nice to meet you, I'm The8. Now do you know where I put theses Bananas?" He asked with a smile and Kun nodded.

"Yeah follow me!" Kun smiled back.
