He had only been in this class for six months and he felt, somewhat, at home. Thanks to his two new friends, Kim and Max, they always helped him understand his work and helped with his homework after school. The three had almost become inseparable. Always seen with each other, always sharing stories, sitting together at lunch, walking to Kichiro's place to study.
Today was one of the days where the three stayed in the library, Max helping him with his English, a report was soon due for a review on the fairytale "Rapunzel" while Kim searched for a few books to help. Kichiro slowly read, trying not to screw up words like he did the first two months of school. He had only gotten a month of English lessons before his parents sent him to school. Which kind of sucked for him, he could barely understand everything, and would still accidentally speak Korean, and had a very difficult time understanding what was on the paper, thankfully Max noticed his struggle and requested that he take his work slower until he's ready to catch up, and it helped! Sure he wasn't speaking fluent English but he understood everyone, thanks to Max.
As for Kim, he was also a big help, he made the lessons fun and sound more simple,-more than how Max would describe it- split up Kichiro's work into small bits and the two helped him slowly, but efficiently, and the assignment would be completed in two or more hours. Then it was off to the next!
"Uhh, Rapunzel... blah blah... then she left the tower with her love, then lived ever after-..." Kichiro mumbled closing the book and turning back to his tablet and began typing, which was also kind of a struggle, he had a hard time typing with no Korean letters accompanying the English ones.
Squinting as he slowly typed to make sure he spelled everything correctly. Then he felt the familiar strong chest resting lightly on his head as he set a few books beside him Kichiro just blankly stared at the tablet, trying to ignore the snickering coming from the athlete "Kim, can't you see we're trying to work?" Max adjusted his glasses glaring at Kim, who just shrugged and gently laughed as he sat beside Kichiro looking at was he was typing
"you spelled "Rapunzel" wrong" Kim pointed out, leaning closer to him looking at the screen "Oh... crap" Kichiro fixed the word right away and continued writing while the two kept correcting words, pointing out grammar mistakes until he finished half of the mandatory word count. Setting the tablet aside and rubbing his eyes then sunk into his seat, taking a deep breath. "Thanks, guys, halfway done..." He smiled
"We could come over later to help again" Kim offered kindly smiling and Max nodded
"Really? Thanks!" Kichiro smiled pulling them both close in for a hug. "I'd like that very much"
