Adjusting to school in Korea was a bit more of a challenge than Felix had expected. For starters, they couldn't find him any Spanish-speaking schools, so he ended up going to a Korean-speaking school. He was thankful they didn't try to put him in an international school after he eventually convinced the staff his English was by far the worst of the languages he knew, especially since he'd been studying Korean since passing the audition, and studying it intensively since returning from the training camp. Although, studying wasn't always easy when his entire extended family seemed to want to say good bye to him. He didn't even have a comparatively large family, but it was still a rather overwhelming few weeks between when he returned from the training camp to arriving in Korea.

He was also glad he got adjusted to the route to and from school fast enough he could catch up on sleep without missing his stop. He arrived back at the dorms, taking off his shoes and dropping his backpack on the couch in the living room before he had even noticed Taijia sitting there. "Oh hey Tai." He said simply. He paused to let Taijia respond before going into the bedroom and changing out of his uniform and into more comfortable clothes, a t-shirt and sweats. He also grabbed a snack from the kitchen before rejoining Taijia in the living room. He pulled out his homework and let out a sigh. It seemed like every class was giving him trouble, but especially his history, Korean, and English classes. He had never been the best math student, and it was a little embarrassing when he discovered he'd been placed in a math course with all first years, but he was doing okay. Didn't mean he had a clue what went on during the course though. "Wait a second, your fluent in Korean." He said aloud, the first half in Spanish, before looking to his younger roommate. He winced a bit, "Is it okay? I really need help with homework..." He ask Tai.

Felix was shocked when Taijia mentioned having used to help their sunbae with homework. He knew the history already, or at least the basics of it; that Taijia met Kangwan while both were in America, and Kangwan became his babysitter. But it still blew his mind, let alone thinking of their sunbae getting help from an even younger Taijia. "Heh, interesting." He managed to get out, and in Korean. "I pulled out math, but I honestly can probably figure this one out. I need help with Korean and history especially." He pulled out his work from Korean class, the worksheet already filled with scribbles of translated Spanish and some attempts to use the Korean definition of other words. "I need to write an essay, but I don't understand the prompt. Something about careers? I think?"

"Aahh..." Felix said as he looked at the paper. He nodded, "Yeah, I am." He smiled as Taijia mentioned he'd been working on writing. "Oh good, then this is useful for both of us." He only half-joked.

"Um." He began, digging through his bag for his agenda. He found it and flipped through until he found the proper date, "It's due next week, but it's a draft and outline, and then in two weeks is the final draft." He said, lowering his agenda and looking at Taijia as he finished his sentence. "My goal is that it is not so much full of grammar mistakes that the writing is not considered." He said, wording it a bit awkwardly but hoping the point got across. "And I can use a dictionary for words I don't know, but I am worried it won't be natural sometimes because of grammar."

"More comfortable speaking." Felix responded quickly, without a second thought. He was used to the characters, but he had a hard time translating the speak he heard or words he knew into writing unless he read them first.

His breath caught in his throat as, for a split second, he though Taijia was going to give him something in English, but quickly let out a sigh of relief as he mentioned translating it into Korean for him. "Uh, yeah, I'd like that." He said, relief apparent in his voice. "I think she wants it typed..." He said slowly, "But I can type in Korean okay. Just need someone to help me get the right words and grammar across." He was slow at typing in Korean, but thanks to having found Korean keyboard stickers, he knew which letters belonged to which keys.

Felix followed along, immediately thankful for the outline. "Huh. You have nice handwriting." He observed. He wasn't sure why that surprised him, it was within what Felix knew of Taijia's character to have good handwriting, the kid seemed meticulous on good days. But somehow he expected the boy to have messy handwriting, or at least handwriting that looked more like a kid his age. He had little cousins the same age that wrote illegibly, or at least it felt like it whenever he tried to read over the card his cousins had giving him when saying goodbye. Which reminded him; he had promised to write them.

He forced himself to focus on what Taijia was talking about, realizing he had gotten completely distracted. He nodded, "Okay, yeah, I think that will help a lot. Thank you." He gently slid the paper closer to him, filling out the blanks in the sentence Taijia had written in pencil, and then adding a few more sentences in explanation of each part of the sentence. Except for a few moments of stalling to remember a word, it didn't take him long to come up with an outline, and it was easier to address the other questions the essay prompt had with the set up. He shyly slid the paper back towards Tai once he had finished writing the outline. "Is this... okay?" He asked hesitantly.

Felix felt a bit sheepish Taijia had to correct his spelling and grammar in some spots, but reminded himself he was still learning the language. He decided to take the compliment and stay quiet about the mistakes.

He looked over the explanations Taijia provided him, glad for them, and nodded to the younger boy. "I do, thank you." He said, giving Taijia a smile.

It faded slightly at the last question, "Rather than hard, I think it's tiring." A soft laugh escaped from him, "I've never slept better than I have here. But thinking in my second language for 12+ hours a day is really... it's difficult, and makes me think so much. But also, for all that it's difficult and tiring, it's rewarding. Even just a couple months ago, I wouldn't have even dreamed I could have full conversations with people, or heck, write this." He said, motioning to his essay. "So yeah, it's hard to do, but I like the results." He sighed, "Even if my grades aren't the best because of the language barrier... But I'm still managing."

Felix nodded in response to Taijia's musings. He wished he had already been fluent in Korean, but there was only so much he could learn between audition and arriving in Korea.

He laughed a bit at Taijia's comment about practicing Spanish, and muttered, "I would welcome that anytime."

He laughed again, "I think I might be doing better than Seoji in English class. I could be wrong though. Thank you for the offer, though. I will keep that in mind."
