"Just makes school feel kinda ridiculous," Jungkook muses quietly as they walk down the length of the street. So often, the berating that comes from adults is directed at how lazy young people are, how unwilling to shoulder hard work — but Jungkook thinks about his hyungs, thinks about all the things he's been willing to do on his own, when the motivation is clear and the subject matter interesting. It's not that any of them are afraid of hard work, or expect to be handed things for free. But when the hoops seem so arbitrary, when there's so little care shown in actually developing them as individuals, it becomes hard to focus. Hard to understand why it's necessary to sit in the classrooms for as long as they do.

No wonder Jungkook feels so much better now, running away from the confines of the desk and classroom.

"I wonder if we'll be as stuffy when we get to be that age. We won't, right? We'll remember how shitty it was to be this age, how much the adults never seemed to listen... but we'll be different," Jungkook decides.
