soobin: "I need your help."

beomgyu: "With?"

soobin: "I need some editing skills."

beomgyu: "Oh no, Taehyun is the person for that job. Taehyun!" 

taehyun: "Yeah?"

beomgyu: "Soobin needs help with an essay."

soobin: "No, it's not an essay."

taehyun: "Is it an email?"

soobin: "No."

beomgyu: "Is it a long, opinionated YouTube comment?"

soobin: "What? No. It's..." (sighs) "It's this."

beomgyu: "Oh. God, no. I'd actually rather edit an essay than that."

taehyun: "Have you tried listening to those Spotify lo-fi playlists while writing it?"

soobin: "No. Would that help?"

taehyun: "Maybe."

soobin: "I don't know what's wrong with me. I know how I feel but I just don't know what to say..."

taehyun: "Maybe we can look at some poetry classics for reference."

beomgyu: "'But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?'"

soobin: "Since when have you memorized Shakespeare?"

beomgyu: "Everyone and their great grandmother knows that line."

soobin: "I don't want to copy poets. I want it to be me."

taehyun: "Hmm... something personal and real."

soobin: "Exactly." 

beomgyu: "I've got it."

soobin: "Okay."

beomgyu: "'I really like you.'"

taehyun: "........you're kidding."

beomgyu: "The 'really' adds emphasis!"

taehyun: "Maybe you can say: 'Every time I look at you, I feel as if the earth has stopped rotating because my world will only move with you in it.'"

soobin: "Okay, that sounds really amazing but it just... doesn't sound like me."

taehyun: "'Yo, I vibe with you, girl.'"

soobin: "That definitely doesn't sound like me."

taehyun: "Okay, so not overly eloquent but also not modern and chill. Hm...."

soobin: "You know what, that's okay. Let me try listening to some of that lo-fi music and giving it another shot. Thanks, anyway."

beomgyu: "Wait, come back! I think I've got it!"

taehyun: "If you say 'I really, really like you,' I'm never letting you copy off my homework ever again."
