o damn, are you sure this band isn’t your favourite?

pFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT- ok, good one, anyway this is them :3

((she tried sending me a picture but it didn’t work))

awh come oN

~ technical difficulties, please stand by ~

dfgfd shhhHhhHhH i know wot im doin smdh. this is alreaDY GOING BADLY

...should i just google them?

its okay, i got it. this is them

o damn. they're very pretty, but that was to be expected

yep.. so what concept do you think they have? lol as if it isnt obvious

idk man three of them are giving me death glares. uhh black? and pink?

tbh,,,,,they have the girl crush concept, like, theyre all badass and stuff

oh, well that’s.. interesting

i cant believe im letting you edit this post.. anyway, opinion on them? they dont look that similar, thank god

well the red-haired one i like the most so far since she doesn't look like she wants to choke me (and not in the kinky way)

fgjgfghj yes i see

the one wearing the 2b outfit is probably your goth waifu

omf

and the pink(TM) one looks like she's the sugar mommy of the group

m o o d

i'm guessing she's the leader? it could just be the thanos throne

they dont really have a leader.. this is also them

ah, lovely, a picture where they don't look like they want to murder me

yes, finally

a bunch of talented asian cuties, wot is new

to be honesT. i'll start with the first one from the second picture

alrighty

her stage name is rose

the first two from left to right are the prettiest imo

o rlly

i'm gonna get lynched alive for saying that, aren’t i

so, opinion?

she's uhhh 23? and a singer, and she's the goofy one

well youre right about her being a singer.. shes 21, and yes, she is pretty goofy. she is fluent in english because she is australian

n i c e

this is her kickin everyone's ass

((Then she showed me this video))

skinny legend

and they said infinity war was the most ambitious crossover... asian idols wearing brazilian carnival outfits as some dude sings that song from shrek 2? sign me tf up

LMAOO gee her voice still gives me chills rose step on me

alexa that's lewd, let us move on swiftly

sorry i just like her shes also a good dancer

i'm guessing she's gonna be my favourite

english speaking idols get bonus points, and she seems to excel at everything else, so...

yes, she is amazing. oh, she also cried over her fish's death

;-; oof

:( bless her anyway, you have any questions?

nop, she's gucci, let us proceed

right, the next one is jisoo

this is her smiling

see thats the heart smile

is she the radiance? because my retinas are burned

SDFGFDSADFG MOOD

literally no one is gonna get that joke

wat if they do?

then they are people of culture

opinion?

uhh, she is the soft one, and.. she's short because why not, and she's 22 and she sings ;;

o- i mean, she isnt really tall, but she isnt that short. yes, she is a singer, the oldest, 23 y/o and she is a goofball, a derp. very entertaining tbh

she looks adorable and has a cute name and is a goofy dork god bless

all of them are good at english but her. but she Tries- and is confused.

o o f

tis a baby

she deserves all the hugs

she isnt the best dancer, but shes a Great singer, and very stable on stage

their hair alexa their hair is so fucking aesthetic

i KnoW

i am in pain, pack your dictionary we're moving to korea

fuck yeaH the next one is lisa

abs of JUSTICE

hot diggidy she's the sass queen, and she's uh.. 23, and a rapper

oh, this is also her

she is also 21, and yes, a rapper!! a very swaggy one

jackpot

but shes a whole cutie, and the youngest

awh ;;

and she gets embarrassed easily

i see, so she's the tsundere of the group

she is from thailand, and i think shes fluent in four languages, including english

nice, man

she is also an Amazing dancer

n i c e , m a n

shes kinda my wife but theyre all my bias so i cannot decide it is Too Hard

i only have one bias u-u

lots of english speakers, cute dorks and pure babies everywhere

;-; yes

it has my seal of approval

n i c e the last member is jennie

o damn. jennie? j-just jennie?

just jennie. she doesn’t need anything else

is that an ACDC shirt

apparently

why do they all look so good and fashionable, and both glamorous and cute and pure at the same time, alexa the space-time continuum shouldn't allow this

pffft opinion?

hmm.. she's both a rapper and a singer, and uhh.. she's the second sassiest, but also a goof, and she's 23. I'LL STICK WITH MY 23 also damn nice thighs

she does have amazing thighs tbh.. WAIT HOW DO YOU KNOW SHES ALSO A RAPPER AND A SINGER

well usually in smaller kpop bands one of them does the support for both singing and rap..r-right?

,,,,,,,,,now that you say it

it finally happened folks, i taught alexa something about kpop

badass

THEY'RE ALL SO PURE, FUCC

THEY ARE, they have the badass girl crush concept, BUT THEYRE ALL FUCKIN CUTIES IRL also, take this

my poor heart

jennie is so smol ;; jennie is the smolest

i'm sorry, i was distracted by the thicc

mood tbh she is also fluent in english lmao

pack your shiT ALEXA WE'RE GOING TO KOREA

y ES theyre all really cute and entertaining, they dont go over the top, but theyre still pretty funny - as funny as a girl group can be anyway

pfft i find all of them entertaining tbh. show me some songs fam

o, alrighty. this is a dance practice, it was the first thing that was released and everyone went nuts

((Then she showed me the dance practice video))

lisa is the one with shorts, jennie has the cap, rose is the one with braids and the last one is jenniejisoo

oof, a bit too edgy for my taste, sorry. but the routine is great!

well, they were kinda made to be badass

yeah, i figured

also, a little side note

their company is one of the biggest companies out there, but theyre known for their shitty management, as in, they dont really give idols many comebacks or promotions, so they dont have many songs;; even tho they debuted two years ago

well, that kinda sucks

yep..

i imagine this business is pretty finicky behind the scenes. i guess it can’t be all sugar and glitter all the time

true.. anyway, this is is one of the two songs in their debut ep lol

((Then she showed me “Whistle”))

also, may i add, their mvs are hella aesthetic

they seem to be.. not a fan of the super edgy american-ish songs though

yeh, their second ep was better. this is from the second ep

((Then she showed me “Playing With Fire”))

pyromaniac title, piano in the first second. this one's gon' be gud

yeah, this one was definitely better - well, not objectively, just imo

yeah then theres this beautiful beautiful song

((Then she showed me “Stay”))

that title gives me the hibby jibbies

y e p p

nvm i saw a mcdonalds in the background and now i'm chuckling

sdfdsdfg honestly the mv is So Pretty

ALEXA I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR SAD TIMES

shhh its a nice lil song just dont read the lyrics lmao

...i'm reading the lyrics now I THOUGHT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A BADASS GROUP WHAT IS THIS

the chorus is so nice tho, with the claps

it is.. well, that was mildly depressing

at the end they hold hands and laugh and jump around in a circle in the mv and its just.. i rlly like the mv and the filter is very pretty

a e s t h e t i c

anyway, back to badass

((Then she showed me “Ddu-du Ddu-du”...?))

this is their most recent release, this time with a mini album

and i see thanos’s throne is back

y eS

these sets look expensive as fucc.. is that a fennec fox?

maybe..

and the evil parrot from rio? what is this, a crossover episode?

THE MOST AMBITIOUS CROSSOVER

first we had the shrek 2 song, now this they gon' hit me with dat turu turu du alexa halp meh

i k r wat u gon do

is that.. a sparkly tank?

y ES jennie is an icon

i feel like i've ascended

tbh all these things were so unnecessary yet they did it anyway

well i certainly don’t regret it

that breakdown at the end is kinda cheap, but i think the diamond tank made up for it

definitely

sdfvbvGJHGthere are two mvs left

oh, just.. just two?

y es

i feel bad for them ;; did u say it's been two years

yeah..

this is so r00d

yes, always feel bad for yg artists

what’s yg?

its a company - their company

ah, i see

their shitty company

oof

here's their debut song (which i dont really like but Oh Well.)

((Then she showed me “Boombaya”..? who the hell comes up with these names?))

well, in all fairness if they're one of the biggest they probably have a lot of bands to manage

not really.. they had very successful bands though, so that kinda paved the way for the ones nowadays

ALEXA THESE FUCKING LYRICS ARE KILLING ME

ASDFGBFVDS MOOD CLICK CLACK BADDABING BADDABOOM QUEEN

"i'm so hot i need a fan i don't want a boy i need a man" BISH YOU'RE A 5 FOOT 20-SOMETHING ASIAN IDOL CHILL

hjkjhghj shhHHH

this is a whole drugtrip

it iS

are those.. black leather biker pants... mixed with blue jeans? this is some next level shit alexa i can't handle this

y ES fashion icon

why do coke when you can watch this for free and legally?

ikr theres one last mv, and its better, trust me

..alright...

theyre cute in this one

((Then she showed me “As If It’s Your Last”))

jisoo is the one with the heart magnet and i love her

awh ;; man these titles are edgier than 13 year old me

oh come on, its a love song

that dancing, it's s-so lewd <-<;;

it iS oh, i forgot lisa's rap is in english

n o i c e i didn't know jennie had her own ice cream business

girl is going places okay but 1:36

th-the cotton candy part

pfff

sorry i remember the first time and saw it and was like fukc thas cute

well, it was. it was pure ;;

alright, final thoughts?

I’m going to go out of order for a bit because the last character is... oh man, Like, my first oc I think?

This one however is a nice one. I like this one. She’s supposed to have the signature duckbutt hairstyle, and she constantly colors it. She’s featured most prominently sporting the fire-blazing look. A part-time model, not too popular, but well liked by people. She used to have a super dramatic, backstory, I’m talking, murder, sister-killing, really heavy guilting stuff. But she would definitely not turnout as happy as she is today!

I prefer her Model name (Ellena York) to her actual name (Akanotame Hyo).

Link

Link for the two above --> ads tho

Now her backstory might be undefined, but she has a very interesting present!

The story goes that she and one of the Love Interests (more on him later), went to the beach and found another Love Interest who’s... well, not human at all. Surprisingly in universe, absolutely no one is shocked or surprised about the creature except human Love Interest. Even Ellena doesn’t seem to care. I mean, she is curious about him, and teaches him the human language and reading and what-not. Like she knows he’s different, but sort of treats him like... well, it’s weird. Like you know this thing is an alien, and you do have so many questions, but. None of the questions are pressing ones, they’re just. There.

York houses him in her home, and even her parents don’t blink at it. It’s as if he’s a normal house guest that they know very well.

Her entire story is supposed to be light and whimsical and comedic. With I guess shocking moments of truth, when the non-human Love Interest displays too much aggression and/or animalistic traits.

Non-Human Love Interest is named Kida Tora by Ellena. Not sure if she ever taught him about his own name, usually she just grabs him if she wants his attention. His gender is also imposed onto him by York. But I never thought of him as a full complete male. Perhaps it has a unique gender that isn’t found in the human species? In any case. Here’s some pics.

Missing Link - I tried my best, I just couldn’t seem to find it...

Link

Also also, just want to point out the purple lamb there is just Ellena’s favorite plushie. That is her guitar, and yes she does play. Kida does not. In reality I don’t think she’d let him hold the guitar since even his ‘human’ appearance has nails that are too long and sharp (they’re bone instead of skin). However, I can’t see her denying him things or being strict. Chances are she carefully guided him on how to hold and strum, after he sees her play and asks to try it (at this point in time, he probably didn’t know how to speak properly, and just held out his hands in the most child-like grabby motion).

I do not play the guitar. I cannot tell you anything more other than the fact that Ellena is quite good at it. Doesn’t really have an interest in making her own songs, but she does enjoy switching lyrics in other songs to fit her mood. She mostly plays mainstream music, and in very rare cases, she’s played songs for her family and friends. Definitely plays it in her free time when she feels like it, and is more comfortable performing for herself. She does occasionally play in school if it’s required of her to do so. Or if enough people request it.

Link-ads

Now this character isn’t actually fleshed out fully. My theory is that he was originally human, when something or someone turned him into a non-human creature. (How he went from white to brown we will never know.)

I did have more theories, but as I typed out the previous words, I thought it made more sense for him to originally be human. It would explain why he can take a human-ish appearance when he needs to. Maybe even say that he became brown from years spent at sea (as both sea creature and human).

link

another cute one. Aw. My theory is Ellena has a sea of plushies in her room.

link

in picture titles I usually write notes. It says here that the hair on Kida is 100% accurate. Huh. I look at it now though, and I don’t like it, simply because it’s covering his eye, and that’s not want I want him to look like now. Perhaps I drew him differently on paper. We’ll find out when I sort through all my art. After sorting through all the dress-up games!

link

again, the title implies this is accurate. But I’m thinking I want this design changed big time. Though I suppose the necklace can stay.

And now, On to our other human friend. One of the few male characters that I’ve made, that feels realistic (to me at least).

His name is Wilton West. He’s the obligatory transfer student (again, all made in my anime phase). The whole story takes place in japan I suppose, but I’m changing that right now. Because. It just. In seems like it would fit better in my vampire universe, somewhere far in the future. Perhaps mana will be overshadowed by technology. Avatar style (I’m still not watching Legend of Korra tho, I’m sorry).

He’s a skeptic, a pessimist and maybe sometimes a realist when he’s right. He’s also a gamer. Not a hardcore one, he just likes passing his time with games. I’ve written somewhere that he may or may not have a motorcycle. But chances are it’s his grandfather’s, and he’s definitely not allowed to touch it.

Wilton is also the first character I’ve created that requires glasses. Which is weird. I mean glasses is like, a normal thing. Why is he the first character to need them.

Link

Now while Wilton and Ellena do spend time together, they have more of a frenemy relationship. Wilton spends too much time finding faults in what Ellena says and does. Like having a constant critic, who will never sing your praises and always look for more of your flaws.

link-ads

this is a myth, Wilton rarely smiles.

link

listen bro, he’s only smirking cause he’s about to get that Fortnite win.

link

The title says, ‘this is how they met’. To be honest, it probably is! Ellena loves swimming, and it seems while on her way to the swim meet after school, she bumped into West and scattered his almost late essay to the wind!

link

‘his style’

link-ads

dat witty banter(tm) tho!

OH NO I can’t find the Link! Please help.

maybe he has a dog? But he seems more of a cat person. You know what. screw it. He has a cat. Sorry good doggo. But ya gotta go.

And this last one is a crossover with my other O.C. that I’ll be talking about soon in another post.

Week One: Remember That One Time Our Tire Passed Us On The Road?

Week one is DONE! (dat rhyme tho)

One thing before I get started: I literally just sat down to write this based on some notes and stuff I took on a word document over the week. None of it is edited so there’s probably huge grammar and spelling errors and trust me, I wish I had the time to go over this and edit it and make it better. I will probably look at this tomorrow and cringe.

TL;DR Training is awesome I feel like I was busier as a theatre major My shoulders hurt Our tire flew off our van and down the road So many new friends I got to pet a dog Jesus Jesus Jesus

First off, this week has been invigorating and, in such a good way, exhausting. I’ve met so many people whose names I have surprisingly remembered and Jesus is so evident. He is SO everywhere.

Speaking of the man upstairs, I tried to start my week with some church but ended up listening to a sermon online and man, that sermon totally encompassed what this whole week was going to look like.

Scott Rogers, AKA one of my favorite speakers from Cornerstone, spoke on Palm Sunday awhile ago about being relational at church. I wasn’t in big service that day so I decided to go back and watch it. Basically it was about how the reason we love our home church is because of the people there. The worship could be decent, the pastors could have really good sermons, and your children’s ministry could be a big party, but all churches have places where they come up a little short for people. What makes people love church is the people who love them while they’re there. They ask them about their lives, remember the details, and will ask about them later on. They’ll offer to sit with them and invite them to a Sunday BBQ right after and let their kids play together. IT’S ABOUT PEOPLE.

So lo and behold, this week was about the people. I met so many of them and they’re all wonderful. I made the decision Sunday night to be intentional, to get out of my shell that I crawl into because I hate hate haaaaate big groups of people (small groups up to 6 are cool), and to just try to live a life of LOVE. One of my favorite books of all time is Love Does by Bob Goff and I wish I had brought it with me. I really wish I had. I need some of the inspiration that man gives.

So anyway, training is great. There’s the usual things like how do you discipline a kid, how do you report suspected child abuse, and oh by the way never be alone with a camper where others can’t see you or hear you. Normal, working with kids stuff. Then there’s the fun aspect of learning chants and cheers and dances and opening your mind enough to rip up your cool card. Kids love it when you’re not trying to be cool. And I love that Sonshine pushes for that because CAMP is for the CAMPER. Ugh. Amazing.

Quick side note: Everything is humid and I’m dying. My body is just a bubble of sweat that I reside in. I have no skin, it’s all sweat. Everything is sweat. WHY did I have to come from a dry desert?

Quick side note #2: Living with 12 - 14 girls is difficult because you have to get used to the rhythm of calling shower times and figuring out which sink you’re going to brush your teeth at when there’s only 3 between the bathroom, kitchen, and upstairs powder room.

So training day two! This day was interesting. On the way to camp, while in this shady looking van, it starts to feel a little funny as we’re going down the road and then everything shakes as the rear left tire makes a noise that we assume is just a blown out tire. CUE TAHJ who yells “Oh my god! LOOK at our TIRE!!!” Prompting all of us to look out to the right to see our tire passing us up on the road as we slow down. Reaction: Shouting and panic laughter and Shaylee saying, “TAYLOR, TAYLOR! WE HAVE TO GET THE TIRE BEFORE IT HITS SOMETHING!” Taylor, by the way, ran down the street to get that tire out of a bush/tree/I-didn’t-actually-look-at-the-plant.

We may have missed out on coffee that morning, but I got to meet and pet a dog so it was worth it.

We did camp stuff all day in groups with a Head Counselor that basically is supposed to introduce camp to us. Luckily enough my group was almost all returners so I had a lot of people introducing me to camp. Ya girl got a little sunburnt, but it already tanned over. I got to talk about theater during lunch and found out my new friend Connor works in technical positions at a college theater nearby! Cool dude. This was also the day where we talked about reporting a suspicion of child abuse which I honestly cried a little about because it breaks my heart. I can’t even imagine. Y’know?

I also got to teach a game to the group of people I was with that day which I ended up getting a DLP for (describe, label, praise) and that was pretty sweet. I always knew I would fit in with a camp vibe but being affirmed is nice too!

It’s interesting to hear how tired people all. Being ridiculously busy this last year of school from 5 in the morning until midnight most nights was a lot worse than the schedule they have us on here. Granted, a lot of this is more physically demanding, but I don’t feel stressed yet. YET. I said yet.

On day three I got to find out where I’m placed (besides my art specialty camp) and I am in Explorers otherwise known as X-Life otherwise known as 1st and 2nd grade. I am not a group counselor and am instead “admin” while I’m not at specialty camps. I’m a extra body for the HCs to use as needed and wherever needed. To be honest, this job totally works out with who I am a person for all of you who know that Acts of Service is a love language that I am great at dishing out (yes, I’m tootin’ my own horn [beep beep]).

Throughout the rest of the week I also auditioned for skit team (and made it - holla!) and got to do some training for my specialty camp!

So the company that Sonshine is partnered with for arts related things is called Mainstages. They’re based out of New York City and the guy helping us out is named Ryan. He’s awesome. He gave me a binder full of fun games and a lot of ideas and a BAG full of FUN. Like I literally have an elephant puppet under my bed right now. And a rubber chicken. And a bunch of other fun stuff. I’m stoked. And nervous. it’s fine, I’m fine, it’ll be fine. Jesus is the one who put me here and I know he’s preparing me for it!

I get a big room at the specialty camps location, Bethel. It has a couple TVs and a small stage and a curtain and SO much SPACE. I have so many ideas. I got to meet all the wonderful people from this Bethel Church and they gave everyone part of specialty (Bethelty) camps a gift of just little snacks to get us through camp and they’re so, so nice. In fact, pretty much everyone in Maryland is nice. Where am I?

I also got to go do pool training with the people for our specialty camp and made some friends in those people as well. I get lots of questions about what I’m going to do in life since I’m graduated and about my tattoo. I ask a lot of questions @ internationals because I suddenly feel uncultured when they’re around. Whoops. Sorry, America.

I have gotten to do a lot of camp activities and make some really good friends in my explorer group! I think they’re all going to be good, good friends of mine.

Training week ended with a small “service” at Bethel. It was very worship based and I honestly had so many emotions and maybe almost cried at the end because the guitarist started playing the instrumental for How He Loves as the service ended and all my feelings from back when Ashley died came flooding back. I really wish I brought her memorial bracelet with me, but I know it would have ended up being ruined at some point while I’m here.

But anyway. Today, Saturday, was family camp day where we got to meet some campers and their families who wanted to come tour the camp and do activities and meet the staff. It was fun! I love this age group so far! I then got to drive the not-so-sketchy van as we (me and the Rutherford girls) got to go to Walmart and Giant and McDonalds for a Saturday night of shopping. I spent too much money. It’s fine (you keep telling yourself that, Becca).

I just want to end this a small appreciation bit. I am... so incredibly blessed. The way God has used me and the way he continues to use me is something incredible to me. The other night me and a handful of the girls stayed up until midnight talking about controversial subjects and how some Christians treat people and how people should be treated and where we stand on some things and it was so cleansing for my heart. I love hearing people’s thoughts and their feelings and their lives. The opportunities I’m being given at camp in just being able to serve and being able to share my passions about art with kids along with my passions about JESUS at the SAME TIME is so wonderful. I am in awe at how this all is working out.

Praise the Lord, guys. Praise the Lord.

A Good Morning on Friday: audition 5

“I have to do my best on Friday. After all, I won’t be able to see you for two days.”

Hamanaka Midori and Narumi Sena are connected by the fact they both attend Sakuragaoka High School and, for one reason or another, their eyes meet inside the train they take to school every morning. Even though both are interested in the other, “good morning” won’t quite come out of their mouths due to their nervousness. Now a senior in the same class as Sena, Midori realizes his true feelings as he repeatedly practices his “good morning”s…?

Find the masterlist with all the chapters here!

Please support Honeyworks by purchasing the novel here!

I wish we could meet on Sunday, too… It’s fine to fall in love, isn’t it?

audition 5

The first Sunday of summer break was clear.

Midori firmly bit down on his lips as he felt his skin gradually grow warm under the sun. I can’t. If I relax even a ‘lil bit, my cheeks’ll loosen up and dat’ll be terrible…

The fact that it had been a while since the last time he went to the amusement park wasn’t why he was excited. Of course, the park in its own way got him excited, but the most important reason was something else.

That’s right, it was the person that was walking next to him.

Midori glanced to his left while feigning nonchalance. The person next to him in her everyday clothes was Sena. She had a black cap pulled just above her eyes and she was reading the park map with a serious expression.

Dis… is a dream, ain’t it…? It was like he didn’t know what was real anymore. He took his thumb and index finger and pinched his cheeks as hard as he could.

It hurt. It considerably, fairly, quite frankly hurt. He couldn’t believe it; this was reality.

“Can we meet next Sunday?”

That message came from Sena last week Friday. When they rode the same train during the morning of the closing ceremony of the first semester. Midori had replied with “Of course,” and they quickly decided which park and when to meet. He had been surprised by the quick development, but, the next day after their messages, in other words, yesterday morning, he found the reason behind why Sena was in such a hurry.

It was because her role as the heroine’s best friend in a movie had been decided.

Midori discovered this when his mother was watching the morning news channel. He had been eating breakfast and was dazedly watching it when a large portrait of Sena appeared on TV. The subtitle “Narumi Sena, screen debut” then popped up.

I was so surprised and almost was ‘bout ta spit my toast out…

The announcer had said, “Filming will begin starting this summer.”

It looked like her schedule was packed with more work than usual during summer break since there’s no school, so it was possible that, other than today, she wouldn’t have any day offs for a while.

She’s so popular, huh.

Maybe Sena was worried about people watching her because she was different from usual. Her long hair was often tied into pigtails at school, but today it was in a ponytail. Her hair was even styled in pigtails in the Haniwa store’s pudding commercial so he had thought of the style like it was her trademark. Just by changing her hairstyle, his impression of her now was quite different.

Also, somehow, ain’t her clothes different from da image I had too…?

If you thought about the fact that they’d be walking around the amusement park grounds and be riding on many different attractions, her attire – a T-shirt in three-quarter cargo pants and a thin cardigan – was perfect. However, it was different from the so-called “cute type.”

Midori didn’t know much about girls’ fashion and he hadn’t seen much of stuff like Sena’s everyday clothes. But he was still surprised, “She wears dese kinds of clothes, huh.”

Maybe dat cap is fer hidin’ her face? When he thought of it that way, that would explain the mask.

When he met her on the train this morning, he was worried because he had thought she caught a cold. But Sena said while smiling, “No, this is as a precaution…”

He was impressed at first because he was convinced that when a person became a celebrity, they had to go all-out in managing their physical condition. But he then realized that that might not be the only reason why she was wearing a mask.

Ya definitely can’t tell it’s Narumi at first glance.

If she was being that cautious, then why did she want to go to the amusement park? Would it be easier to be discovered the more and more people there were? Or, on the other hand, it was more difficult to be discovered amongst a crowd of people so maybe that was what she was aiming for.

“Na-Naru…” Just as he was about to say Narumi’s name, he swallowed his words.

There would be no meaning to the disguise she especially put on if he said her name. Her surname was a bit uncommon and, even though she was hiding her face with her cap, Sena’s cuteness was somehow still exuding out to their surroundings. If the hints increased, then the probability of being discovered would likely increase, too.

“Hamanaka?” Sena lifted her head from the map and tilted her head in question, puzzled.

Woaaaaah, adorable! Dat’s foul play!

“N-Nnn…” Midori was somehow able to control his near shout by clearing his throat. However, he really didn’t want his expression to be seen by Sena and turned his face away, “…N-Nice weather we’re having.” For some reason, Midori said that formally.

“Huh? Oh, yes, it’s great that it’s clear.” Sena’s own words came out formally in response to Midori’s.

It was a little embarrassing and a strained laugh escaped with a puff. How funny. But for us, dis kinda mood might be good. When he thought of it that way, he felt the lump in his chest disappear. What da heck, I was unconsciously bein’ anxious ‘bout it…

When you thought about it, it was only just recently that he became able to talk to Sena. However, they were still awkward and he couldn’t talk to her as carefreely as he did with other girls like Natsuki or Nomiya. If he didn’t put his words together carefully, then they might fall into a long silence.

Even tho I can talk ta her without tryin’ dat hard in stuff like texts…

What did Sena think?

Even today, what was she thinking when she invited him out? Something like going to hang out at an amusement park one on one; it was like this was a date.

Huh? Date…? Wh-Wait a minute, is dis a date!?

He shook his head thinking there was no way but he couldn’t deceive his loudly beating heart. Midori put on a roundabout expression again and glanced at Sena. Coincidentally, it was also at that moment that she was looking at him and their eyes met.

“Y-You’re wrong! Just now was, um…” Midori flailed his hands in front of his face, flustered.

It was always like this when he was in front of Sena. He’d be nervous, his voice wouldn’t come out, and he looked lame. However, Sena kindly accepted who he was. Even now, although a curious expression appeared on her face, she was looking straight at Midori and waited for him to speak.

“…Why’d ya invite me out today?” Midori whispered after a long silence. The sweat that was dripping from his hair ran down the nape of his neck. A black shadow covered his brand-new sneakers as he cast his eyes down.

“I’m sorry! Do you hate the amusement park, Hamanaka?”

“Huh?” Midori was caught off guard by her words and reflexively lifted his head.

Sena mumbled, “What do I do?” with a pale face.

“No, I don’t hate dem? Actually, I love them…”

“Really? That’s great. I came here before for a magazine photoshoot but I couldn’t go on the rides at all. That’s why I wanted to come here again soon, but this time as a guest.”

“…That is something you’d think if dat happened.”

At Midori’s reply, Sena said “Yup,” and smiled.

That was his answer. She hadn’t intended this to be a date. Yes, I misunderstood! It was my misunderstandin’!

Midori, rather than asking, “Why’d ya invite me to da amusement park?” had meant, “Why’d ya invite me out today?” However, from Sena’s point of view, she had innocently invited him out so that was probably why she had thought it was the former.

Well, dat’s true. Dere’s no doubt dat it’s more fun with two people rather den goin’ by yourself. He didn’t ask, b there was the possibility that she had invited Akari and the others. However, Midori might’ve been the only one who didn’t have plans or scheduling conflicts. I was da only one dat was overly conscious of it, huh… That was a shock in itself, but, at the same time, he knew that it was also inevitable. In the first place, this was a one-sided love that had just begun. They were finally able to talk to each other now and all he had to do was let the distance between them shorten with time.

Switching gears, Midori maintained a proper distance as he walked with Sena. He couldn’t calm down at first, but as time passed he was steadily having fun. They started with the coffee cups and rode other rides and attractions one after another.

“What shall we ride next?” He was still speaking in formal language even though it was getting closer to the afternoon.

Sena’s gaze fell to the map in her hands as she giggled. Sena had labeled the rides that they went on with a star in pen so that it was obvious at a glance even if they couldn’t remember.

Out of da ones dat are left, da one temptin’ is…

“I got it, it’s the merry-go-round.”

“Let’s do the roller coaster!”

“Huh?”

They spoke at the same time but the rides they said were completely different. They instinctively looked at each other and one of them burst into laughter without thinking. It was irregular but fun. He was happy when he thought that.

W-Wait, oooooh!? Dis is bad, dis is bad, dis…

Grumble. Gruuuumbleeeee.

He had had a bad feeling and immediately put strength into his abdominal muscles, but his stomach mercilessly rumbled. “J-Just now, ignore that!”

What do ya mean ignore dat?

He made a comeback to himself and flailed his hands with a whish.

Sena’s eyes widened, bewildered, for a brief moment before her face wrinkled with laughter. It was immensely embarrassing, but he decided to consider it a good thing since he got Sena’s laughter out of it. He couldn’t help but think of it that way.

“Hamanaka, would you like to eat lunch first?”

“…That sounds great.”

When he agreed to Sena’s suggestion, he felt something pull at the sleeve of his T-shirt. He thought it was his imagination, but it shyly continued with two or three more tugs. Midori turned, wondering what it was, and he literally stopped breathing.

“U-Um… I made a lunch box before coming; would you like to eat it?” Sena was pinching the sleeve of his T-shirt with her fingers. He couldn’t read her expression since she was looking down. However, rather than thinking that he was disappointed because he couldn’t see Sena’s expression, the feeling of being saved was stronger.

With their current situation, his heart seemed like it was already ready to explode.

If ya keep doin’ dis, den others will definitely get da wrong idea.

“G-Gladly…” He managed to say with a trembling voice.

Sena immediately lifted her head and her eyes sparkled as if they were reflecting the sun’s rays. Midori’s heart leapt a beat once more.

Be calm, be calm! If I remember, in dese kinds of situations, if I count prime numbas I’ll calm down, right? Or was dat fake… Aah, it was on da tip of my tongue. Midori followed Sena as he mumbled to himself.

It looked like they were heading for a bright, grassy plaza-like area. Sena inspected the area before taking out the lunch boxes and she even prepared a picnic sheet like the guests around them. Not only that, but she had a damp washcloth for wiping their hands and a thermos filled with cold barley tea.

I’m no good; I’m too dependent on Narumi… All Midori did was find them a shady area under a tree and spread out their sheet.

However, Narumi didn’t seem like she minded it at all and, rather, she said apologetically, “It wasn’t an inconvenience that I decided by myself to make and bring lunch?”

Just how good of a person is Narumi?!

“I made sure to do a taste test, so I think it should taste okay but…” Sena shyly said as she opened the lid to the two-leveled lunch box. The top level was fully packed with side dishes while the bottom was lined with rice balls in a variety of colors.

“Oh, it’s fried chicken! Hamburger! Even shrimp tempura?” They were all Midori’s favorite foods. He was so happy that he ended up speaking with a loud voice.

“I’m glad that these are to your liking.”

“To my likin’? It’s just all my favorites! Are you psychic, Narumi?”

Sena giggled at the words he said half-jokingly, “Rather than being psychic, it’s more like being a detective.”

“Detective?”

What did she mean by that?

Midori cocked his head to the side while Sena realized what she said and pressed a hand over her mouth. It was if it meant that she had said too much.

“Tell me, ya makin’ me curious.”

“Um, well… I tried to remember when you ate lunch in the classroom or when we had cooking practice during home economics. I guessed which foods you looked like you were really happy eating.”

“Huh? By dat, you mean…” That meant that Sena was watching him. By watching him, she only made his favorite foods and brought them today. “…Ah.” He couldn’t control his face as he became red and he covered his mouth with his hand. The summer sun wasn’t the only reason why it was this hot. He was so happy that he felt giddy. “Thank you, I’ll eat!” Midori said and clapped his hands together, putting all his gratitude into his words.

The one he reached for first with his chopsticks was his most favorite food: fried chicken.

“…How is it?”

“It’s supa good! That’s all I can think of, but it’s good!”

“Ahaha! There’s a lot, so feel free to eat as much as you want.”

Midori was already reaching for his second piece of fried chicken. He was nodding his head the entire time as his cheeks filled with food looking like a squirrel or hamster. He urged Sena to eat with his eyes until she finally picked up her chopsticks.

“Hamanaka, are you going anywhere else?”

“During summer break? Hmm, well… I actually wanted ta do band practice but dat ain’t workin’ out…”

“By band, do you mean the pop music club?”

“Yup. We talked ‘bout doin’ another concert for da cultural fes’ dis year, but we’re seniors, right? Da other members are doin’ stuff like job huntin’ and exam studyin’ so makin’ time ta practice is gonna be hard.” His mood became heavy as he spoke. Their concert went down to 3 songs from 5 and among them one was going to be an original song. The members’ reaction to Midori’s suggestion was bad. They had discussed it numerous times before the summer break, but Suzuki and Kuma wouldn’t agree to it. When Hiromichi, who was prone to taking breaks from the club for his part-time job, joined their meetings, the result hadn’t changed. They hadn’t even decided their practice schedule for this year yet.

“It’s not like I don’t know their opinions,” Midori half strained his laughter and half murmured, “Dat it’s not like we’re even aimin’ ta be pros and dat it ain’t da time to be usin’ our precious senior summer break for somethin’ like band practice. Dat no one’s gonna pass their exams like dat.”

“…What about you?”

“Huh?”

“What do you, yourself, think about it?” Sena’s honest eyes pierced his.

Midori was surprised, but he responded to her gaze head-on, “I just… only want ta go all out doin’ da things I love and da things I can only do now.” Midori felt the fire in his heart subside once he put it into words.

Aah, so dat’s how it was… dat’s what I thought…

Sena somehow looked happy as she smiled, “Y’know, it’s been decided that I’m going to be in a movie.”

Midori nodded at her abrupt words, “I saw da news on da TV yesterday. Da role of da heroine’s best friend, right?”

“Yeah. Although it’s disappointing that I wasn’t chosen for the role of the heroine, the director that had watched the audition recommended this role for me. He said that I had a nice smile.” It didn’t mean that she wasn’t frustrated that she failed her audition. However, Sena’s expression cleared up like today’s cloudless sky, “There’ll be people watching us if we try our best.”

Midori didn’t know what Sena meant by those words. But, there was no doubt that these were words that he needed in his current state. …It’s just like Narumi says. Wantin’ to go all out and do da things I can only do now are just words. Before I get sulky, I gotta try my best or dere’s no point.

The faces of the pop music club members appeared in his mind. He had been disheartened because of the guys’ difference in enthusiasm about the cultural festival concert, but all Midori did was clash his opinions with the other three during that time.

Doin’ dat wasn’t good, huh.

If he wanted the other guys to have the same “enthusiasm” that he did, first he had to do his best to enjoy himself. Wouldn’t their hearts be moved if he first showed them that?

“I’m gonna write a super cool song by the cultural fes’ so you definitely have to come watch da concert.” The corners of Midori’s mouth lifted rather than saying words of gratitude.

Sena also responded with a smile, “I’ll look forward to it.”

“Yeah!” Midori felt his mind begin to rotate at an immense speed as he nodded.

Let’s write a song. A song that will make them want to instinctively perform. A song that can make Sena and their audience smile.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

The gazes around them were piercing by the time their lunch boxes were completely empty. Midori slow and quietly checked their surroundings. All their eyes simultaneously looked away.

What if this was…? A bad premonition ran through him.

“Hey, hey, the girl over there, do you think she’s the real thing?”

“Oh, the girl wearing a cap? It’s true, from the side she looks a little like her.”

He heard two girls whispering to each other. The person they were looking at was Sena.

It is! Doesn’t dat mean they’ve noticed dat Narumi’s here?

When he looked at Sena to ask what they should do, there was a very calm look on her face. She brought her index finger to her mouth while meeting Midori’s gaze and whispered, “Shh.”

S-So cuuuuute! What da heck was dat just nooooooow!? He somehow managed to suppress his impulse to scream and nodded.

Sena smoothed down her chest with relief and briskly began to clean up their lunch boxes. Midori also hurried lifted himself up and helped her. The eyes on them increased even though they had begun to clean up. He only needed to not pay attention to them, but no matter what he was anxious.

Is it always like dis for Narumi…

Sena probably wouldn’t say that she hated attracting attention since she worked as a magazine model. However, he wondered what she really thought about continuing to be observed even in places where there were no cameras like now.

“Alright, we’re done!” Sena stood up from her squatting position on the grass after gathering up their belongings and lightly dusted off her knees.

Midori also calmed himself and hurriedly extended a hand, “I’ll hold dat.”

“W-Wha! No, I’d feel bad.”

“You were holdin’ it dis entire time so I could at least…”

Don’t worry ‘bout it. The words he was about to say were interrupted by the strong wind.

“Ah.” Their voices overlapped. The cap that Sena had been wearing over her eyes had been tossed into the wind.

“Wait, wait!” Midori chased after it as fast as he could. The cap was carried away by the wind and then began rolling over the grass lawn. “I got… it!” Midori picked up the cap and turned back towards Sena, “I got it!”

“Wow! That girl’s hair is the same color as a princess!” A merry voice near them rang and drowned out Midori’s voice. The source was a small girl who was pointing at Sena while hopping up and down.

“See, doesn’t she look like her?”

“Is that the girl that’s in the Haniwa store pudding commercials?”

Sena completely became the center of attention now that she no longer had something to hide her. A commotion suddenly erupted starting from the two girls who had been whispering about her just earlier, to the family that were in the middle of their lunch, and even to the people that were passing by the plaza.

Dis ain’t good! We gotta do somethin’ before she’s completely revealed…!

Midori ran up to Sena and, without saying anything, placed the cap on her head. Then, he grabbed her hand and began to run away. He was only looking in front of him as he desperately ran. He was too scared to look over his shoulder and check if there was no longer anyone following them. They needed to go farther and farther. To a place where Sena’s identity wouldn’t be discovered. That was all he was thinking about.

Midori finally calmed down once they could see the roller coasters, “W-We’ve come all da way here, we should be oka…”

No, it’s not okay! Midori turned back to Sena as he was catching his breath and he nearly yelled. They were holding hands. He and Sena.

“M-My bad! I thought dat we should hurry and run so just on impulse I…” Midori said, flustered, as he released his grip.

Sena, on the other hand, had run with all she had so she was still breathing heavily.

I’m an idiot…

He should’ve realized it if he had only thought about it a little. That if Midori did what he wanted and continued to run at his own pace then it would be hard on Sena physically. He had been in such a hurry because of their nerve-wracking situation and he hadn’t thought it through. But, no matter what the circumstances were, it was unnecessary for them to run all the way here.

“Sorry. Do you wanna sit and rest somewhere?”

“…No, I’m fine.” Sena lightly shook her head while wiping her sweat. Then, before Midori could say anything, she raised her head and looked straight at him, “I’m going to go home for today, okay?”

“What?”

What do ya mean?

Even though that’s what he wanted to say, he was so shocked that sound wouldn’t come out. Midori stood upright without being able to say anything.

Sena whispered, “Sorry for saying this so suddenly,” while wondering what he thought. “If I continue to stay here, I’ll probably only inconvenience you.”

“I haven’t thought once dat you were somethin’ like an inconvenience.”

“…Thank you.” Sena said nothing more after that.

Midori couldn’t even find words to convince her otherwise and, in the end, they could only continue to walk to the park exit. He couldn’t remember too well how he got home after that. When he came to, he was dazedly lying down on his bed in his room.

“What da heck do you mean by ‘I’m sorry’?”

It wasn’t even like Sena did anything bad so why did she feel the need to apologize?

If I was a celebrity, too, den maybe dis kinda thing wouldn’t have happened… A stupid thought suddenly entered his mind. Then they might’ve been able to laugh about it together even when a small commotion like this afternoon, where either of their identities would be exposed by the other guests, because they were in the same boat. However, in reality only Sena was the celebrity and Midori was just a high schooler.

An “ill-matched,” “secret” love. That was the kind of label his one-sided love for Sena had. He thought that he had known, but today he was once again thrust before reality.

But I can’t do anything ‘bout it. I love her ‘cause I love her.

If it was something that he could throw away or give up on, then he would have done that a long time ago. But, no matter how difficult and painful it became, this love would not disappear from Midori’s heart. Midori couldn’t lie to himself about his love for Sena after all this time.

“I’m gonna write a super cool song by the cultural fes’ so you definitely have to come watch da concert.” When he closed his eyes, he recalled the moment when he made that promise with Sena.

That’s right, he had a way to do it.

Midori sat up with a creak and rushed up to his guitar case. “…I’ve decided on da new song for da culture fes’.”

Even if this was an “ill-matched” and “secret” love, he at least wanted to express his feelings. That’s why he’ll put all his feelings into this song.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

His battle arrived on August 1st.

The other three members appeared on time at the audiovisual classroom around the time Midori finished setting up his guitar. There was an indescribable look on all the members’ faces. He wasn’t surprised. Midori had, after all, called them here today without telling them the reason why.

“Yo, I’ve been waitin’ for you guys.” Midori said, waving at the three of them as they stood still in front of the door.

The first to move was Suzuki, a guitarist like Midori, “…Since you’re holding your guitar, are you gonna make us listen to a song or something?” Suzuki said with a wry smile. Kuma, their drummer, and Hiromichi, their bass guitarist, followed Suzuki as he walked to where Midori stood by the window.

“Yeah, I made one, spankin’ brand new!”

“Huh? You don’t mean…”

Midori broadly smiled at their bewildered faces. It would be better to perform the song rather than telling them through words now. He silently closed his eyes as if he were standing in front of the mic. He exhaled, exhaling all his various nerves and worries, and then took a deep breath. He then fixed his grip on his guitar pick.

Reach them…!

He began to play the intro. The expression on all three of them changed as they became intrigued. They likely realized that this wasn’t like usual when Midori would play a song by ad-lib for rhythm’s sake. This song was written by Midori for their concert. He tackled the song the night of the day he went out with Sena and hardly spared time for sleep.

It was my first time ever composin’ a song and writin’ lyrics so I had a lot of trouble wit it.

He wasn’t imitating anyone but, instead, had brought out the sound from within himself. The sound in Midori was still so small that it almost seemed like it would slip from him time and time again. Even so, he hadn’t given up and, with the thought that he wanted her to hear it, he jam-packed his own so-called rock and completed the song for today.

The finished song was one speedily overflowing with love. The “boy” in the song was singing that, even though he knew that he was ill-matched with “her,” he didn’t feel like giving up. That’s why, he would take a one step closer at a time. To “her” ideal person.

The audiovisual classroom fell into deep silence when he played the last line of his song. All three of them stood in dumb surprise.

Was it bad? Tho I thought they were respondin’ pretty well to it…

It was Suzuki who finally opened his mouth when Midori placed his guitar on the nearest desk, “You made this song by yourself, Midori…”

“Well, yeah. I thought dat we should at least have a base for it.”

“…Sorry.” Suzuki said.

Kuma and Hiromichi also murmured, one after the other, “It’s our bad.” and “Sorry, man.”

What da, even I…

“Stop dis gloominess, stop, stop!” Midori vigorously shook his head to hide his teary eyes. His tears didn’t fall, but they should have disappeared. “You guys wanna play dis song, too, right?” He asked them full of confidence.

All three of them nodded simultaneously. “That’s true. I think we need to talk about the arrangement together.”

“Shouldn’t the final chorus have more oomph, too?”

“I thought that, too. Maybe right before the chorus, it’s better to bring down the tempo and then come back again all at once.”

Midori audibly sniffled his nose. He was pushed to tears again seeing each of them voicing their opinions. He was embarrassed that he was so easily moved to tears, but, on the other hand, he knew that he couldn’t help himself this time, too. The “enthusiasm” that Midori wanted from them was there.

“Then, the biggest issue are the lyrics, huh… Why is it only “I love you” in the last half of the song?”

“Dere’s other lyrics besides I love you, stupid!” Midori interjected.

Suzuki only hummed, “Hmm…”

“Wasn’t it I like you, I luv ya, and I love you?”

“Yup, rejected.” Kuma and Hiromichi cut him off without delay.

Midori made a weird sound, saying, “Nnnghhh.”

The other three burst into laughter. Their atmosphere completely returned to what it was before.

But as a whole, dat doesn’t mean dat it’s the same as before.

They had surely taken a new step forward. Both he and the others.

“Until your graduation, please have fun with your youth.” The words that Akechi said on the day of the opening ceremony suddenly crossed his mind. He hadn’t understood what he meant at all when he was told something like “youth” so suddenly at the time. But, now.

Maybe youth feels kinda like dis.

If it was now, he felt like he could run anywhere with his guitar in hand. Together with his band members.

★ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ★

Sena’s third high school summer break ended along with her filming for the movie. Summer this year went by even faster than usual.

It doesn’t even feel like September yet since it’s still so hot. She was probably feeling this even more so because the lingering summer heat was even more harsher than it usually was on average.

Even just walking in the hallway in front of the faculty room made the back of her neck sweat a little. Be that as it may, it didn’t mean that the feeling of summer break would drag on forever. On top of just starting the second semester, her days of working day in and out also ended.

I’ve turned in all my reports so next up are the midterm exams…!

She had been given more homework than the others during summer break. Even with all the homework, for Sena, whose attendance was barely safe, her exam results would be her lifeline. This time, too, she had asked Akari and the others for help and they had been teaching her her weak subjects.

…I wonder how Hamanaka’s doing.

They talked countless times through their messaging app during summer break. She discovered they liked the same band and they had talked about which songs they liked. She sent pictures of a kitten and mom she saw during filming and the yummy dessert that she ate. It was really fun sharing everyday things with him.

However, on the other hand, somewhere along the way of exchanging messages, her loneliness of not being able to see Midori only increased. The last time she saw his face and heard his voice was on the day they went to the amusement park. Even at the amusement park, she was almost discovered by fans halfway through and she left as if she were running away. She was relieved that she hadn’t been discovered, but she was only lucky.

She knew this was a “secret love.”

That was why she had intended on making this outing one of her final high school memories and had decided to invite him out only once. But, even now, all she thought about was Midori. His dazzling smile and cheerful laughter wouldn’t leave her mind. She was thinking about him during her breaks or when they would move to the next filming location. She was thinking about him as she returned home and took a bath or when she closed her eyes as she laid in bed. She thought about wanting to see Midori’s smile every day. So, just like that, her feelings rapidly grew day by day. She was happy when they had walked together side by side at the amusement park, but she truthfully wanted to be with him more. She wanted to try going to other places with just the two of them. These thoughts endlessly filled her mind.

…If I’m not going to put it into words, then I can at least imagine it, right?

“Huh, Sena?” Someone suddenly called her by name when she was in front of the stairs. This voice belonged to Miou.

She immediately turned in her direction and, sure enough, their eyes met as Miou grinned. “Miou! Are you on club break right now?”

“Yup. I was thinking of going to the vending machine in front of the gym to buy iced tea.”

“I know what you mean. It’s still so hot.” Sena agreed.

Miou quietly smiled while saying, “That’s right.”

It was an everyday conversation with no meaning. But something bothered her in the back of her mind.

Somehow Miou seems a little unlively? There was a possibility that summer fatigue was taking a toll on her, but it seemed like the reason was something else. That was what her intuition was telling her.

“…Miou.”

“Oh, there you are! Heeey, Narumi!” The sound of footsteps coming closer from behind drowned out Sena’s voice. When she looked back, she saw Haruki running up to them with what looked like a sketch pad in hand.

“Haruki…” Miou murmured. Were her eyes trembling because she was surprised at Haruki’s sudden appearance?

“Good, you’re still here… Um.” Haruki’s eyes, too, went wide as soon as he saw Miou past Sena’s shoulder. Both stood there and stayed silent even though they were definitely looking at each other.

“…W-Woah! How unexpected, are you taking a break, too, Serizawa?” Sena spoke with as bright as a voice as she could to break the awkward mood. However, Haruki didn’t reply and silence fell once again.

Was it too unnatural?

“Rather than being on break, I was looking for you.” The one that broke the suffocating silence was Haruki. Just as that crossed her mind, he quickly walked away as soon as he said what he needed.

No matter how you look at it, it means he has something to say to me? Walking off without saying the most important part probably meant something like “follow me.”

Sena, after wavering for a moment, said to Haruki as he began to climb the stairs, “Where are you going, Serizawa?”

“We’re not staying here. Let’s go to the clubroom.”

“Huh? O-Okay…” She agreed without thinking.

Sena wanted to keep Haruki here for just a little longer but she couldn’t do anything if it turned out like this. She checked on Miou as she turned her head, pretending that she was looking at the back of her hair, as she followed Haruki.

“…” Miou’s lips were tightly pressed together with her gaze at her feet. Something definitely happened between them since Haruki wasn’t saying anything, either.

I wonder what happened. Did they argue…?

“You’re filming a movie now, right? I saw it on the news.” Haruki slowly turned and said after a period of silence as they climbed up the stairs.

“Oh, yeah. But I’ve already finished filming my part.”

“Oh, really… What was the film set like?”

Sena blinked when more questions were thrown at her. It seemed like if Haruki wasn’t in front of Miou then he was his usual self.

Serizawa films movies, too, so he must be curious.

Haruki’s eyes were brightly shining as he took great interest in her words when she began talking about her experience on set. They arrived in no time at the Film Research Club room while talking.

“So then, on my last filming day, the director told me, “Let’s work together again.””

“Ain’t that amazing! But, Narumi, do you want to continue acting?”

��…Yeah. It was hard memorizing the script and, at first when we started, I wasn’t speaking as well as I thought I would and almost wanted to cry, but it was really fun.”

During filming, she almost complained every single day. Sena was the only one with a lack of acting experience on set so her mistakes after rehearsals continued. She had to do retakes countless times and inconvenienced her costars. Those days continued and, with the thought that she might make another mistake, she became afraid of going on set. What helped her to continue filming and not run away was her promise with Midori.

“I’m gonna write a super cool song by the cultural fes’ so you definitely have to come watch da concert.”

She wanted to be someone that wasn’t shameful to Midori who had given her his smile. She wanted to see him after doing the best that she could without giving up halfway.

“If it was fun, then what do you think about being in the pop music club’s music video?”

“…Huh?”

“I was actually looking for you to ask you about that. Midori wants to film a music video for the song that he wrote and asked me about it. Said that since it’s our last high school cultural festival that he wants to go out with a bang.” Haruki laughed, “That’s so like him.”

Sena could see faint dark circles under his eyes. Even though they’re busy with the Film Research Club’s new film, he agreed to do it…

“Oh, even though I say you’d be in it, we’re gonna make it so that no one can see your face! Since your agency will make a fuss about it if not, right? Will it be possible if we film you from far away from behind and if your side profile only shows for a moment?”

Sena swallowed her breath with a gulp at those words. No matter how much care Haruki took in filming or how much he edited it, it would be something that would be seen by many people. If, by some chance, it was revealed that she was in it, she would end up troubling Midori and the others.

“…Sorry, it might be difficult.”

“Hmm? It’s not like you don’t want to be in it, right?”

“T-That is… Well…”

“This will be the last cultural festival you’ll be able to do something like making a big impression with a bang, y’know? It’s fine if you’re saying you definitely won’t regret it if you don’t appear in the MV, but if it’s not like that, then I want you to try thinking about it a bit more.” He then murmured, “It’s okay if you don’t give me an answer now.” Haruki opened the sketch pad in his hand. The first page he opened had “for the Pop Music Club MV” scribbled next to a storyboard drawn by Haruki. It looked like it was a draft for the music video. Haruki then turned the page again and again, continuing to do so until the feeling of the art changed in the middle.

It kinda looks like how Miou draws. Oh, the words written as memos too… It was then that she suddenly realized it.

Wasn’t this the sketch pad that Haruki and Miou used before to brainstorm ideas together?

“Doing something like wondering whether your choice is right or not might not be something you think about in your head.” Haruki clapped the sketch pad shut and wryly smiled. It was as if he was trying to persuade himself with those words.

However, Sena couldn’t help asking her own question, “Why do you think so?”

“Hmm. Well, theoretically speaking, it’s not like you prepared a reason why you won’t do it, right? Though, that’s not something that I should be saying but…”

Haruki’s words stabbed her heart. Maybe without noticing, I’ve been taking precautions all this time.

Let’s make sure not to trouble him since her feelings towards Midori was a “secret love.” But, on the other hand, she may have only been afraid. What would she do if she became closer to Midori without restraining herself but, because it was a “secret love,” she was rejected by him? Having distance between them was better than being hated. Wasn’t she thinking like that all this time?

My manager even said that “I won’t tell you not to fall in love.” That, even if she got a boyfriend, for now she should take precautions in order to not be discovered by the people around them. If not, then she may trouble her partner. Her manager had said all of this to Sena only as a warning.

“A secret love” wasn’t something she needed to lie about her own feelings for. No one but Sena herself had ran away because it was a “secret love.”

Sena quickly lifted her head and stared straight at Haruki. Then, with all her determination in her words, she resolutely said, “…Serizawa, I want to be in the music video.”

Cupkayke Rewatches/Liveblogs Boueibu!

Season 1, Episode 2

I think I’ll start using the title cards in these~ Sounds fun. And I originally started this post like... 5 hours ago but then TUMBLR JUST HAD TO CRASH CHROME AND EAT THE POST. So if my commentary isn’t very intelligent it’s because I wrote all this shit earlier and lost it <.< Not that it was intelligent in the first place; it was mostly squeeing and laughing over stupid screencaps.

So! Image-heavy thoughts below the cut!

Yup, I still love this opening theme. LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE.

Okay, let’s unpack Kinshirou’s speech here a bit. He starts off chastising Ibushi for taking the tea off a little bit too soon and then launches into his views about negligence. “Those who are negligent in etiquette will be negligent in all things. Lifestyle, academics, self respect...” What exactly does that mean? Especially in relation to the ‘self-respect’ comment. If we utilize the dictionary definitions, Kinshirou is saying “Those who are lazy or careless in etiquette will neglect the proper esteem or regard for the dignity of one’s character.” Essentially, Kinshirou is stating that he holds not only decorum but how one views the self above everything else. It’s an interesting look at his worldview, but it also could be taken that he’s talking about Atsushi here, who was (perceived to be) “negligent” with “friendship etiquette” and stopped speaking to Kinshirou and thusly their friendship died. Of course, Kinshirou is probably well aware that he threw a temper tantrum in the first place, but... that aside, he’s still upset. So perhaps he’s reminding Ibushi of what type of people they are supposed to be, and not like THOSE people.

Akoya twirlin’ dat hair.

I didn’t cap this part of the speech, but Kinshirou continues: “It is easy to drift downwards. We as the student council of Binan high school, regard foolishness and mediocrity as a sin. We must not approve of it.” - More establishment of how Kinshirou views the world. Order, dignity and class held above all. Again, something that Atsushi potentially lacks, knowing what we know on the other half of the reveal. Or I could be talking out my ass.

CUTE AKOYA IS CUTE. Look at this faaaaaace.

I forgot about the BLURRRR

Zundar struggling to get into and get comfortable in the teacup is hilarious. Lookit this wiggle noodle.

‘Planet evil’ snerk

Snooty Akoya is snooty.

Even Ibushi isn’t quite on board with Kinshirou’s plan lol. From this, it seems he might just potentially be along for the ride for the sake of keeping Kinshirou happy- but he’s unable to resist pointing out how lofty Kinshirou’s plot sounds.

And Kinchan isn’t gonna take no shit

I know Kinshirou is bad mothing our boys here, but in this particular screencap it’s a little hard to take him seriously lol. They look like a boy band!

And then Ibushi’s like -”SIGH- I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

ZUNDAR I FIND IT HARD TO FIND YOU INTIMIDATING WHEN YOU ARE A SMOL, GREEN HEDGEHOG THAT SITS IN TEACUPS AND MUST BE PICKED UP BY THE SCRUFF OF YOUR NECK BY YOUR HENCHMAN TO BE PUT IN HIS POCKET.

They discuss using someone to commit violent acts so casually… how much brainwashing did Zundar have to do and how much of their compliance is just from their natures as isolated kids? (I need to read the manga again so I actually remember their backstories... I read all of it that was available in English but there may have been an update to the translations? Idk- I’ll look for it later)

En and his musings again~

Though c’mon guys, are you really surprised at this point considering what was revealed in ep1 about En’s brain? You’ve been hanging out for awhile...

However their conversation about chopsticks and menma is pretty realistic random drivel. (I had to look up what menma was because I’m an #idiotamerican)

Ryuu evidently takes chopsticks and menma very seriously. Look at how upset he is.

WHO YA GONNA CALL? (rofls forever)

Wow so apparently this is what the boys think of English- not a noble language. <.<

POOR WOMBT LOOKS SO OFFENDED

They seem ready to kick wombat’s ass

Atsushi, I, for one, appreciate the Schrodinger reference. C’mon son.

I don’t think I noticed the puddle of blood the first time I watched this- so Wombat caused Tawarayama to crack his skull no wonder he’s in suspended animation

WOMBAT YOU SHOULD BE HORRIFIED

FANSERVICE MUCH. Yumoto button your pants back up, young man! Wombat does NOT want to cuddle with you half naked. Err...

...wait a minute.

HOW DID YOU REMOVE YOUR SHIRT SO FAST?? Three frames ago it was this:

Oh wait, it’s that Hakone (TM) clothing wizardry that Gora shows us in s2. Riiiiight. Good callback, writers.

Atsushi is really REALLY embarrassed by this whole thing.

Ryuu loves the costume hahahaha- if he likes cosplay so much I wonder if he’s ever cosplayed anything else before lolol

Wombat, you’re asking teenage boys what love is. What did you expect?

This scene has been analyzed to death but I think Ryuu does have the right idea. It’s hilarious he’s disappointed in Io’s definition though lolol. IO YOUR BOYFRIEND HAS WORDS FOR YOU.

Atsushi is really REALLY REALLY embarrassed, guys. Meanwhile En just looks annoyed

I AM JUST LEAVING THIS SCREENCAP HERE WITHOUT ANY COMMENTARY IT’S A BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

Though this probably would be a great addition to the “Someone who has never watched Boueibu explain what’s happening here” meme

CURRY REFERENCE THIS EARLY HOW DID I FORGET

No really that’s really good character development/foreshadowing.

Though I wonder exactly what happened to make Kinshirou hate curry so much. Revulsion that strong can’t just simply be from emotional pain (and I think Atsushi ditched him in the first place because he knew Kinshirou hated curry and wouldn’t want to come with him in the first place). So... it must be food aversion. Maybe Kinshirou got food poisoning as a kid after eating curry. That would do it- I couldn’t eat chicken noodle soup for YEARS after I associated eating it with having the stomach virus. I didn’t eat it again until I was an adult.

Hashida WAAAAAAARIO. Oh man.

That chopstick thing is frustrating lol when we go out for sushi my bf always steals mine when he fucks up his. I feel your pain, Wario.

I don’t quite remember why I capped this part but the imagery in that dialogue is pretty heavy. Also their expressions are pretty funny here; Ibushi is just bored, Akoya looks deep in thought and Kinshirou looks like he’s gonna cut a bitch.

OH BOY TRANSFORMATIONS. In the middle of the cafeteria though? Won’t someone notice boys?

LEGGGGGGGGS for days~ Kinshirou do you shave???

I think I was trying to cap something else but I paused on this gorgeous scene- LOOK AT HOW ANGELIC AKOYA IS. DAT HAIR FLOOF.

Look how cool they look here~

Looking back on it they were much more organized villains than the Beppus wound up being- they had coordinated attacks/powers and TWO group names, the Earth Conquest Club and Caerula Adamas. I wonder if Zundar had them practice before they started trying to take over the school for real? Or did they just get thrown into it like the DC and the words/motions just come to them?

Tho really did somebody not notice their transformation? They noticed Wario turning into a fucking monster…

Wowwwww I think this is where I thought it was ridiculous. Arima voiced our thoughts.

Side note- I really like the lighting in this scene.

OKAY REALLY? Knowing what we know now, is this just poor writing or bullshit on Wombat’s part for the CIDE2 screen? Gora was a battle lover of sorts but it was shown in s2 that he was by himself- he didn’t have a team. He just had his own name. So why this reference? Were they originally planning on there having previously been a team of five and then retconned it or was this just a throwaway line? I’d like to think it’s Wombat bullshitting just to get the boys to do what he wants.

Atsushi is VERY VERY VERY concerned with his image.

Ryuu is savage AF

Poor Wombat… writing is hard work. -patpat-

This is the start of where Yumoto’s opinions conveniently contradict the Monst of the Week

Also wombat’s face is so silly

Io and Ryuu teasing ASDF

For being forced they sound really passionate. Can wombat affect their tone or are they kind of having fun with it?

Side note- this must’ve happened in a production meeting: “So we have 2 characters with shorts, 2 characters with pants.” “What about the fifth one?” “Uhhh… half shorts, half pants!” “Capris?” “BUT POOFY” At least they look a bit more fashionable than Ryuu and Yumoto… sorry cutiepies. Poofy shorts are erm…

Lololol there’s the fourth wall~

En jumps on the alter ego so quickly

Hope no one heard Io slip and call En’s real name two seconds before!

Oh no poor Ryuu!

And Io to the rescue! “Don’t worry baby, I’m coming!”

“It’s okay bby I got you”

Atsushi really doesnt like the names, contrast to en. I never realized how image-conscious Atsushi is until I rewatched this ep. You’d think the stereotypically ‘nerdy’ looking character would be the least self conscious about the whole thing.

They definitely did a lot more fighting in s1, even when the other boys aren’t doing much.

HE PUTS THE CHOPSTICK ON HIS LOVE STICK LOL

They suddenly have names for their attacks/combinations… I wonder if wombat yelled at them between episode 1 and 2

Yumoto’s butt shot haha - I would have gotten a screencap of this but my STREAM KEPT FUCKING UP IN QUALITY AT THE WORST TIMES.

Yumoto’s lecture mode is a bit more serious here than it is in later episodes. Also- LOOK HOW COOL HE LOOKS~ LIKE A REAL SUPERHERO. GORA WOULD BE SO PROUD

Floofy hair in the wind SC - I WOULD HAVE CAPPED THIS TOO BUT MY WINDOW JUST HAD TO ACCIDENTALLY CLOSE. <.< fuck this, any caps I didn’t already have I am DONE.

Gora’s first line!

I- Uh- er.... I’m in trouble. Yumoto’s face here... <////< I am too old for this

Ryuu is upset he didn’t get to fight- but wombat has a point

And once again, @crazy-grrrl-on-the-computer has beat me to the punch with a brilliant analysis of s1′s ending theme that is way better than anything I could have ever done ever. I had to go back and search for this because for some reason I forgot to like it or reblog it??? wtf me???

AND FUCKING FINALLY. AFTER LIKE EIGHT HOURS OF START AND STOP WORK EPISODE 2 IS BLOGGED.

I might as well take this footnote to note that I’m finding the Student Council a much more enjoyable cast this time around than when I originally watched the series. Idk why they just didn’t resonate with me at first- but I’m slowly coming to see why they’re some of the favorite characters in the fandom. They do have a lot of backstory that the manga fleshes out and it’s a pity that they don’t get to be friends with the Defense Club until the end of s1 and then they get shipped off abroad in s2. Logistics and all but there’s a lot more story there that could have been explored- but perhaps some of it did and I wasn’t paying attention the first time. I will get there in this rewatch lol.

Well, so much for trying to get 2 eps done today. I’ll see if I can post ep3 tomorrow or the day after depending on when I get around to watching and taking notes again. Tho I just started making my bf watch Yuri on Ice so I may be a bit preoccupied with rewatching that with him for a few days haha.
