Kimchi. It had to be somewhere on campus, right? And what better place to check than the cafeteria? Well, of course he was familiar with it.. but maybe new stuff was added since he left for break!

He noticed the two blondes in front of said building as he approached, grinning and waving. "Nametags? That's a good idea!" Might help minimize pronounciation fails, really, his name isn't that hard..

Alfred would totally help Yong Soo's quest for Kimchi if he knew what the hell that was. It isn't a burger, isn't a Runza, and it isn't corn. It is simply outside the realm of this Nebraskan boy's food list.

By some paradox of space and time and the power of inconsistently, somehow Alfred hasn't had his face broken in by Tatsumi yet. Roll with it. "Yeah! Then everyone would know who I am, and they'd be like 'hi Alfred!' without me having to even introduce myself! And no one would mistake me for Matt! Ever!"

Oh god. Two very similar, equally extroverted people were within the same general area, and they were talking with each other. Matthew could tell that they would just get in a positive feedback loop and end up racing each other around campus or something equally ridiculous. But saying anything about it would be rude, and Matthew wasn't a rude person, so he just smiled and said, "You think so too? Perhaps it could be useful, then."

It was better to just agree with them then say anything else. It was bad enough disagreeing with one person, and it became impossible to do with two.

Soon, everyone would know what kimchi was. It would be a quest. Of course by 'quest' he would just harass everyone until someone obtained some for him, and even then it wouldn't be good enough. Endless loops are endless.

Inconsistencies! Well does it matter. Some people end up standing outside of a student's center for hours with no idea of how much time has passed or how many classes were missed. And considering how easily distracted Yong Soo was, he had no qualms with pausing to BS and/or procrastinate a bit.

"People get you confused?" That definitely pinged Yong Soo, considering how much he's harassed been around Matthew for the past semester. Plus, Asians have this amazing power of everything perception. That and all North Americans looked the same anyway "That is strange, you don't look very much alike.."

Then again he sometimes got confused for his older brother.

Yong Soo just said the magic words. Well, sorta. The magic words are actually 'AMERICA FUCK YEAH' but Alfred will also accept 'you don't look very much alike' at the present moment. He positively beams at what he considers to be an improvement.

"Really?! I know we look kinda similar, but I still don't get how people can keep mistaking me for him."

Alfred doesn't really feel need to say 'no offense, Matty!' because how could his brother possibly misconstrue that sentence? Surely he understands that Alfred just wants to be his own person!
