Wha- You'd rather I go inside with you? I was being considerate!

[ NORMALLY, GIRLS ALL GO INSIDE TOGETHER ]

[rhymed]

[ IS HE A GIRL???? ]

I'd rather you wait out in the hall...

[adsum]

[ It's her normal!! he's close enough!! ]

Fiiiiiiiiiine...

[ She pouts at him but she takes a step back to "wait" out in the "hall" aka wait until he goes inside and then quietly tiptoe to the door and press her ear against it. ]

[rhymed]

[ God... He doesn't know what to do once he's alone --

Other than to pretend to make a phone call. Whether or not he can make it seem believable is another thing; Hajun pauses, imagining pulling his phone from his pocket and finding his father's contact information.

For a moment his stomach twists. Disgusting. ]

Hello, father? [ It feels so foreign to sound as if he's earnestly speaking to a parent. Disgusting. He wants to shed his skin for something new, feeling as if it's gathering grime somehow by pretending to be someone he's not -- and this doesn't usually happen at all. ] I was curious if I could spend time with a friend after school today? ... Mm, yes I -- [ He can actually hear his own father's voice in his head, bile building in the back of his throat. ] I'm not planning to skip out on my studies, I was only curious. If you're saying I can't go then it's not a problem.

[ He feels like he's going to throw up. He's going to lose it. Hajun might tear his hair out of his head...

He breathes deep, sighs out and opens the door. If Chiaki's there he's going to scream a little bit. ]

[adsum]

[ She's there. Right up against the doorway without the presence of mind to skitter back a little to give Hajun space. ]

You called me a friend.

[ There's no accusation in her voice; instead, she sound a little... happy? hopeful? bewildered. A friend instead of a classmate or a stranger. A friend.

Nobody tell her every word that came from Hajun's mouth was a lie. ]

[rhymed]

[ And as promised: Hajun jumps a little and screams. It's more like a gasp, high-pitched. ]

Ah -- shhhh... [ Casually avoids cursing in front of child. Instead, he brings a hand up to the back of his neck and cants his head slightly, more or less confused that she seems surprised. Even though, yes, it was all just a lie. ]

... Yes? [ A brief pause. ] I can't say that you're my girlfriend, due to only being yours for a day, and it would only bring more complications. My mother would want to meet you, evaluate you, and you'd have to stay for dinner no doubt.

[ Maybe if he talks about a bunch of shit she'll just. Never Know. ]

[adsum]

[ Haha. She finally takes a step back to give him room, but the confirmation makes her beam, even if it's just the apparent alternative to girlfriend. ]

I don't care too much about meeting the parents, but I'm perfect, so of course I'd pass any evaluation! If they say otherwise, they're wrong.

1/2

[rhymed]

Haha.

[ She's so confident. ]

Then when I take you to meet them, should I just introduce you as my wif --

[rhymed]

[ NOW WAIT A GOSH DARN MINUTE. ]

... I thought we agreed you'd wait outside, Chiaki-san?

[adsum]

[ ... ]

I did! Like, out in the hall.

[ She absolutely did wait, saying nothing about not eavesdropping, but sometimes you can't help overhear things and having good hearing isn't a crime. ]

But, it's a no-go after all...? Maybe if I talk to them? I'm very persuasive. I can cry too, if that would help.

[rhymed]

It actually might.

[ If it doesn't persuade his make-believe father, it'd at least make Hajun feel better? It's been awhile since he saw someone cry -- ]

But unfortunately I'll have to decline on our date today. We'll just have to wait for a better opportunity.

[adsum]

Boooooooo...

[ At least make somebody cry, you can't be satisfied with Chiaki's crocodile tears. ]

But fine. Your homework is going to be to convince them, okay?! Before summer break!

[rhymed]

[ Okay who do you want cry. Pick anyone. That's my contribute to anything this month. Just causing drama. ]

Okay, okay. I'll do my best... in the mean time, I'll at least give you the benefit of getting half of the boyfriend experience. Since you're so cute.
