Bang....bang....bang....bang

"You know if you keep doing that you're going to get some serious brain damage." Namjoon said, flipping a page of his book "Not like you already don't have some..." He mumbled to himself.

Taehyung shot up to a normal sitting position and flopped back in his chair.

"I might as well. At least then I'll have an excuse for not doing my work."

"Maybe if you spent less time hitting your head against the desk and more time, you know, doing work, the work would actually get done."

Taehyung narrowed his eyes at his friend for dramatic effect, who sat on the bed not looking over at him.

"Don't you think I know that?"

"No, I know you know that. You're just too stupid to listen."

"Joon, I'm hungry...I can't concentrate. If we go get food and come back I promise I'll-"

"No no no," Namjoon cut him off "I know damn well how that ends." He said, referring to the several times he had taken Taehyung out for food, then gotten blamed when Taehyung had to stay up all night to finish an assignment.

Taehyung pouted in response, dramatically crossing his arms in front of himself. Namjoon groaned, putting his book down open on the bed so the pages didn't close. Taehyung made a happy noise seeing that Namjoon was coming to help him.

"What do you need? What is it?" His eyes scanned the page on the laptop screen for half a second before noticing it was something related to an English class, an essay. He mumbled the words that had been written, quickly taking in the topic and what had already been said.

"Alright, something about the impact of technological advancements on every day life?" Namjoon was looking for confirmation.

"Yeah, fun fact! Choosing a dramatic topic, will absolutely not make an essay easier to write!"

Namjoon chuckled shortly to himself, then sat down in the chair next to the younger man.

"You could say something like..." Namjoon's eyes darted back at forth at the ceiling, thinking to himself before an idea shot through his eyes. "You could say something like, 'The evolution of technologies has drastically changed the society we live in, and accept to be normal. One could say that life was tough, even burdensome before the advancements of technology, that everyday chores and tasks took too much time to complete. The relatively new easy access the education, transportation, medicine, etcetera. has been made much more accessible due to modern day technology.' Etcetera, etcetera." He vaguely waved his hand in the air before standing up and walking towards his bed.

Taehyung stared at him with stars in his eyes. Namjoon had spoken way too fast for Taehyung to be able to take in any of that.

"What the hell did you even just say??"

"Write it down. Just keep bullshitting along and you'll be fine. That's all college is, really."

"Hey, now that's something I know!"

Taehyung typed out the things he could remember as fast as his fingers let him. The contrast between the paragraphs he had written and the one Namjoon had was very visible. If he turned it in like this, the professor would probably think he plagiarized that one paragraph, seeing as it was much more complex, and frankly better, compared to the others. He slammed his head on the desk once more with a groan, holding down the backspace key.
