"There is no way that you are expecting me to focus, especially with a camera on me. I can't do this. Can I just sit this one out?"
'Study With BTS' sounded like a good idea until George realized he was in fact a BTS member and had to partake in the video. He's never been good with staying quiet and focusing on work, his school teachers used to call him a distraction, because he could never actually do his work without making a fuss.
Yes, he was one of those kids. Not the class clown, per se, but he was the type that was able to distract the teacher by asking about their personal lives, and he was also very talkative.
"I'm pressing record," the staff replied, giving him no other response. George huffed, he had no choice but to comply.
Once the camera was rolling, George pushed himself forward and picked up his pencil, looking down at the empty notepad. The staff braced themselves for him to start complaining, but to their surprise, he actually got on with it.
For 40 seconds—granted, it was longer than they expected him to last.
He looked up at them, tapping the end of his pencil against his mouth which was curling up into a smile. The silence was slowly becoming hilarious to him. The boredom had set in, and now he was trying his best not to laugh.
This felt like high school all over again.
He stared down Eunjoo, a staff member he knew would break under his grin. He always has the best laughs with Eunjoo, she was fun and quite lenient, he was going to make her laugh.
He snorted, putting a hand over his mouth and she immediately turned her back to him, knowing if she looked at him, she would laugh too. George quietly laughed to himself and grabbed the laptop.
His fingers tapped against the keys, heavily pressing enter he rubbed his hand over his chin as his eyes scanned the screen. The staff watched him curiously, something wasn't right.
And then, he lifted his head.
"May I have my credit card please?"
"Sure let me just go get your ba- wait. George you're meant to be studying, why are you online shopping!?"
"I am studying...the website."
Displayed in front of him, out of sight of the camera, was Chungha's album all ready for him to buy. He could have gotten it for free, but he wanted to support his girl even though he knew she would yell at him for spending money on it when he could've just asked her for one.
The staff weren't allowed to deny him of his request of his credit card, so with a sigh, they gave in and got his bag.
Proudly, he placed his order and slid the card back over to the staff.
Soon after that, he did a little bit more studying before he lost interest once again and focused on the walls, tapping the pencil against his lips for a second time.
"The walls are a nice shade of grey," he commented.
"Studying, George."
"I'm studying the walls," he replied back cockily.
The staff simply gave up, they decided they had enough footage for him and let him go. He was happy to leave the room.
"Did you do any work at all?" Namjoon asked, knowing how George is.
"Yeah like loads," George replied. "But if the staff tell you I did online shopping and studied the walls, then don't believe them because they're lying."
Namjoon stared at him blankly.
He sat down and threw his legs up on one Hybe's most likely expensive coffee tables. He rested his hands behind his head and closed his eyes with a sigh.
"Gonna nap, did a lot of hard studying today."
"Yeah, I'm sure studying your girlfriend's album was so tiring," Eunjoo spoke as she left the room, the laptop that George used in her hands. The screen displayed the album that George had bought.
"Her pretty face was running circles around my mind, that is so tiring."
Eunjoo closed the laptop and shook her head. "You are unbelievable."
George ignored the comment.
They had enough footage to put in for George, but his appeared to be shorter than the other member's appearances and army were smart enough to know why.
It wasn't long before Twitter blew up with comments assuming that George had gotten distracted midway through and staff had to work with what little footage could be used.
After the outcry for the rest of George's footage, HYBE posted a snippet of George being distracted onto Twitter — including the clip of him asking for his credit card.
Nobody was surprised, it's George Lee.
