Male Female

There are many times that I can think of, but the one that comes to my mind first is that one time I had to ride to school with my friends. To tell you a little bit about this story, he is my best friend. His name is Kim, and he is definitely a reliable person. He convinced my mom to pick me up and drive me to school every day. Well, that one time he came to my house and picked me up, bringing me to school like a normal day. But unfortunately, the reason why we had to walk to school is that his bike started to smoke and was definitely broken. At first, we felt frustrated and a little panicked because we didn't see any repair shops nearby. So we had to walk to school and repair it after our class in the afternoon. All along the way to my school, we had a lot of conversations, but most of all, it was about his life currently. He really needed my help, but he was worried that he was bothering me and that I didn't have time for him like before because my time nowadays is used for studying and my girlfriend.
