"I don't have any ride so either we walk or one of you is offering one."

@Olaf:
"Sorry Ji, me and Seul had been commuting ever since class started."
"Grandpa said it's for our own sake and that we need to learn some independence."

@Bear:
"My folks also said the same thing."

@Turtlerabbit:
"Why are you guys up so early? Its Sunday today, there's no school."

@Bear:
"Yeah, but you know our strict parents."

@Olaf:
"Yup! Plus grandpa always says 'The early bird gets the early worms', it's quite tiring hearing that quote over and over again but if I don't get up early, they'll send me to the Kang's for discipline training."

@Bear:
"It's not that bad once you get used to it. You should know Ji, both of us went through the discipline training."

@Turtlerabbit:

@Olaf:

@Bear:

@Turtlerabbit:
"Then I better get going and prepare breakfast."

@Olaf:
"Alright see you later."

@Bear:
"See you later"

@Turtlerabbit:
"See you guys later."
