Disclaimer: I translated this story from the CN version of the game, which means that it has been double translated (JP > CN > EN).

Rei: Oooh!! Ritsu!! GOOD~ MORNING~ ☆

Season: Autumn Location: Track and Field

Mao: Mmm~ The feeling of fulfillment after a good prac! It’s really amazing~ ☆

Oh, thankies. Is this isotonic drink for me, Anzu? You’re becoming more and more ‘Producer’-like with every passing day~

Seems like you’ve been running after lots of other units besides us Trickstar lately.

There there, you’ve worked really hard ♪

But yeah… even though I’m one to talk, I still think you should take care of your body and your schedule. I’d feel really guilty if you pushed yourself too hard and something happened to you.

Never mind. Let’s go home, Anzu. Today’s my turn to ‘send you home’, so I’ll make sure that you get home safe and sound.

Though… lately, it seems like I’m always the one sending you home…? To the point where I’ve even gotten to know your family fairly well.

Sometimes I’d even stay for dinner…

But I’m not complaining. My family’s the kind to do whatever they want. As such, we don’t really spend a lot of time together. So… It’s nice being with your family.

I wonder if it’s because I can do things like household chores all by myself?

Everyone tends to think, “Oh it’s fine if we leave Isara Mao alone, nothing will happen to him”, but my younger sister has always been coddled and spoiled by our parents…

Hmph, would it be better if I tried to act a little more spoiled? But the second I come back to my senses, I’m back to taking care of others again. I feel old.

You’re also someone like this, so please be careful. You can also lean on me sometimes, you know~?

Eh… I’m meddling in other people’s business again…

It’s about to become a bad habit of mine, forget it, forget it… It’s pretty good to be relied on by others, but I’ve been ‘like this’ since I was young.

It’s because of Ritchan, my childhood friend~ If I leave him to his devices, that guy literally won’t lift a finger to do anything. When it got to a point where I couldn’t stand it anymore, I could only go and help… I’d help and help and help till I became ‘a meddler and a half’ ♪

You know Ritchan, right? Knights’…

Ahh, so you’ve also taken care of him before. He’s always so lazy, you literally can’t ignore him~

…Eh? You’re saying Ritchan’s over there?

Ah, call for the cat and he shall appear… where is he~?

Ah! Goodness! This guy, sleeping outside without a single shred of protection!

One day you’re gonna get pickpocketed, what are you gonna do then…? I reckon he fell asleep after lunch, and slept ‘all the way’ till now~

HEEEEY— Ritchan!! Don’t go sleeping in places like these, you’ll catch a cold ya know~?

Ritsu: ……Mmhhghhh? Huh… Maa~kun…? Wh… don’t wake me up…

Mao: Of course I need to wake you up. The school gates are gonna close soon, and if we don’t get moving we’ll be locked in. Our school has always been particularly ‘strict’ about these kinds of things.

Ritsu: Eh~ …Well, whatever. I could just continue sleeping here and save myself the trouble of having to come to school tomorrow. The more I think about it, the better of an idea it seems~

I’m really sleepy, so just leave me be. No matter how much I sleep, it’s never enough…

Mao: You… you haven’t changed one bit…

Hm? Eh? What are you hugging? It’s not a bolster… right? A tree stump? No, that seems to be a person…?

Ritsu: What?

Rei: Huu… snzz… ♪

Kekeke… Little baby~ Be good~ ♪ Go sleep~ ♪ Uuuu ♪

Mao: Ahh~ Taking a closer look… isn’t this Ritchan’s older brother? Why are the both of you snoozing together? Seems like you have a really good relationship~

When I got to know Ritchan, this person was always overseas, so I didn’t get to know him very well.

To be exact… I only found out he existed after I enrolled in Yumenosaki Academy. Ritchan doesn’t talk about his brother very often, so I got a little worried…

Who knew that the both of them were actually so close ♪

Ritsu: …Maa~kun, do you have anything sharp? I think staking him in the heart would definitely kill him.

Mao: N-no, you can’t just go around killing people. Eh? Do both of you have bad blood? In that case, why are you sleeping next to each other?

Ritsu: I don’t know what this thing was thinking, nor do I have any interest in finding out…

More than anything, I want to bury this thing six feet below and wipe my hands of it ‘as though nothing happened’. Now. Immediately. The faster the better.

Rei: E-eh? What happened, is it already time to say “good morning”? Ah? Where am I?

Ritsu: Yo. Why are you sleeping next to me, huh? You reek of mould, so stay further away from me. What happened, how are you still alive?

Rei: Mmmhh… My mind’s all fuzzy just after waking up… don’t ask so many questions at one go…

What’s there to rush, hm…? Re-rest a little… yawwwwn… ♪

Ritsu: No. No sleeping. I’ll kill you.

Rei: This tone… one that shows no mercy, even to one’s own blood brother…

Oooh!! Ritsu!! GOOD~ MORNING~ ☆

Ritsu: Don’t hug me! You’re so annoying!

Okay but spit it out. Why were you sleeping by my side? Depending on your answer, you could be demoted from “someone who seemed to have been a brother previously” to “stupid bug”.

Rei: Even if you don’t demote me, it’s a bit much, don’t you think?

Nothing much… It’s just that when I was leaving for home, I happened to see Ritsu sleeping. I was worried that you’d catch a cold, so I used my body warmth to warm you up. This is a big brother’s love ♪

Ritsu: Is that so? I understand, you don’t need to say anymore. Complete waste of Earth’s oxygen.

Maa~kun, could you help me get some cement from the warehouse? I want to solidify this thing in there and let it sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Rei: We’ve just woken up, and yet Ritsu’s already trying to get rid of me!?

Mm~ Anywho! The elderly aren’t quite suited for outdoor camping… My whole body’s sore and stiff…

Ritsu~ could you help massage my shoulders please ♪

Ritsu: Didn’t I tell you to shut up? You stupid bug.

Mao: Okay okay… as brothers, you guys should try to get along well. Though, let’s leave the fighting and the shoulder massage aside, yeah? We’re really about to be locked in school.

Rei: Oooh, you’re from Trickstar… It’s already this late… Thank you for waking me up. Ritsu~ it’s been a long time since we brothers walked home together hm~?

Ritsu: Brother? I don’t have a brother, though?

Rei: Don’t deny your brother’s existence with such a deadpan expression… That’s a bit much, even for a younger brother, don’t you think? I’ll start crying…

Ahh, I can’t… My tear ducts are getting weaker as I age… Uuuuuu~

Mao: Ahaha, I think I kinda understand your relationship, Sakuma-senpai.

Ritchan, the more you talk, the more others are gonna think “oh he’s just in his rebellious phase”, so maybe it’s better to not talk altogether?

Ritsu: Damn it… That isn’t the case at all. I had only wanted to throw this annoying ass thing into the trash bin. Whatever, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Maa~kun, you want to send them… send the Transfer Student home, right? Hurry up and go, don’t worry about us.

Rei: Mhm, please be careful on your way back. Who knows what kind of demons will be roaming at this hour – for example, vampires… and the like… ♪

Mao: Yep. I’ll be careful. The both of you too; no more fighting, okay? Hurry up and go home~

Rei:

Mm, I’ve always been praying that I’ll have a close relationship with Ritsu! We’re brothers after all ♪

…Ah, Ritsu? Where did you go? Hey— Ritsuuuu~

Ah, he dashed off at the speed of light. He really does hate me, huh? Hehehe ♪

Wait a minute, I am also more active at night! Well, when it comes to hide and seek, I’m not about to lose to a ‘novice’ ♪

Aaah… Running around like this under the night sky, it really reminds me of our childhood ♪

Ritsu: D-don’t chase after me!! Didn’t I already say you’re annoying!? Did it completely fly over your head, you infuriating Anija!?

Rei: Excellent, excellent… he’s finally willing to acknowledge me as his brother. Anyways, we take the same path back home, my super duper adorable little brother…

Translator's notes: [1] The original CN term here is 「菜鸡」, slang for "complete, total noob". I translated it to novice, a synonym. Personally don't think Rei would call Ritsu a "noob".

(R) School Uniform: “It Doesn’t Matter in the Long Run.��

(NRC: Homeroom Class 3-C)

Marcus: Snzz... snzzz...

Trein: ...Tomford. Tomford!

Marcus: Snzzz.... zzz.......

(Lucius leaps out from Trein's arms and bounds across the room, perching up on Marcus's desk.)

Lucius: Mrooaaarrrr.

(Lucius smacks his paw against Marcus's face)

Marcus: Snrk-! Wh-wha?

Trein: That's twice now you've fallen asleep in my class today, Tomford. I'll have a word with you after class about this. Now sit up and pay attention.

Marcus: O-Oh... Right. Sorry, sir. (yaaawn)

(Later...)

Trein: Marcus, this behavior of yours is completely unacceptable in an academic setting. Nearly every day I look over and see you asleep at your desk, and this has been a problem for the last three years. Trein: Your schoolwork is commendable, but it's clear in your writing that you're still struggling to grasp numerous core concepts, and it's no doubt in part due to your constant sleeping through my lectures. Trein: I do not want to report you for academic probation, but if this continues I will have no choice. Am I making myself clear?

Marcus: Yes- yes sir. You're being perfectly clear. Marcus: (Sigh) Look, I… I know it probably doesn't mean much to hear, but I really don't mean to keep falling asleep in your classes, I swear. Marcus: I have... problems. Specifically with nightmares.

Trein: Nightmares?

Marcus: Yeah. It sounds stupid, but that's all it is. Marcus: I've always had problems falling asleep at night but staying asleep is hard too because of the nightmares. I’ve been dealing with since I was really young. Marcus: I don't really get a lot of good sleep most days and it makes me so tired that I'll just... doze off wherever. I don't really have control over it.

Trein: Hm. You and one of my second years have similar sleeping problems, it seems. Trein: Though his case is a bit more obtuse... at least you have a known reason for your exhaustion. Trein: In any case, I still cannot simply allow you to use my class as a rest period. That is simply out of the question. Trein: Have you spoken to the nurse’s office about these complications? Perhaps they could arrange for you to get accommodations.

Marcus: Er- Well no, but I don't know that they'll-

Trein: Let me rephrase. Speaking to them is your only real option, Marcus. Trein: Your options here are either you take initiative to fix your sleeping conditions, request the accommodations needed for additional study time, or I'll have to file for your academic probation. Trein: As an instructor I can only do so much on my end. It’s up to you to get the help you need. I cannot be your guardian. Understood?

Marcus: ...Yes sir.

Trein: Good. You're dismissed. Trein: Should you take the time to visit the nurse I'll be looking forward to receiving your paperwork.

Marcus: Yes sir.

(Marcus leaves Trein's classroom and enters the main hall)

Marcus: ...Whatever. Outcome's gonna be the same no matter what I do cuz the cause is unavoidable.

(Footsteps approach Marcus from down the hall)

Matt: There ya are, Mark! Figured maybe you'd ran off t' the bathroom 'fore I got here. Matt: Where you been? I was wonderin’ what was keepin’ ya for so long.

Marcus: Yeah, Trein kept me after to chew me out for falling asleep in class. Again.

Matt: Again? Man, you'd think he'da given up on that by now. Matt: Sucks! Guess that means you're gonna have'ta start gettin' better ‘bout that, buddy.

Marcus: …...

Matt: …... (smiles)

Marcus: You're a jackass, you know that right?

Matt: Hmm?

Marcus: “You gotta get better ‘bout that, buddy~” Says the one that’s the cause of me having sleeping problems in the first place.

Matt: Whaaaat~? I have no idea what you’re talkin’ about~

Marcus: Uh huh. Suuuure you don’t. Marcus: Sigh... look, maybe we can tone it down a few notches at night from here on out? At least until we’re outta here and back home again? Marcus: I really don’t wanna get in trouble for something as stupid as falling asleep in class again. Like, I know it doesn’t matter in the long run but I’d at least like to try to be a good student while I’m here.

Matt: I dunno~ I guess I’ll consider it~

Marcus: I’d really appreciate it. Marcus: Ugh… what a miserable start to my day.

Wild card for the salty asks, any 8 questions for a fandom of ur choice GO

i used a random number generator for this so i wouldnt be too biased LMAOO ill go with whatever fandom comes to mind ty jug my biggest hater enabler 🫶

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

i think most popular ships i tend to like purely as platonic 💀 cr*menos h*incurr ph*nlumi are all pairs that i think have nice canon interactions but they're the kind of dynamic that always feels butchered as ship... judging from the ships i actually do like i think i prefer pairs who are more like "argumentative + just deals with it" rather than both of them bickering a lot...?? but i'm also definitely biased i Rarely if Ever like popular ships let alone the most popular

6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

no 👍 jk ok wait let me think about this... yeah no i've never gone back after deciding i hate a ship, there are a few that i (kombucha girl)'d about after being neutral or never considering them but never ones i actively hated

8. Have you received anon hate? What about?

you know about this one already but genderbending a yaoi ship HAHAHAHFHHAH and i'd do it again!

15. Unpopular opinion about the manga/show?

drgl didn't end prematurely o<-< in terms of the game yes but i think the story was pretty obviously reaching an end so that if they had to continue it they'd probably have to do some stupid bullshit to prolong it... not that i don't think some things could've been expanded on more but i kinda. prefer that it has an ending at all

17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…

HOM act 3 should Not have had a ph*nlumi fight omg i'm still so bitter about this THEY WOULD NOT ACT LIKE THAT. i get that they had to have some stupid conflict so that damien gets the transcendent stone instead but it's not like the fight was playable anyway so why did it have to be an actual fight... i know that entire act is just fanservice with the modern clothing but holy shit

20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?

m*lsarisse... maybe.. i'm also thinking about hikari/ochette a little recently bc i have seen like one (1) artwork of them and i think they're kinda nice but i still way prefer them platonically

25. How would you end XXX/Would you change the ending of XXX?

i wish,.. kazan got unique dialogue for hikari protagonist.... i don't like protag favouritism when it comes to 8path either but in that situation it felt so awkward to not have him say anything different snzz

27. Least shippable character?

ironically i think euden bc even though the early stories pushed him as a harem protag so hard i think they realized this shit. isn't working abjkdhjgka there's a few ships i've considered with him but i think they all fall apart if i think too hard

salty ask list

【A3! Translation】 Settsu Banri SR: Half-up Prisoner (2/2)

PART 1 / PART 2

(translation under the cut)

Lacking Training

Lacking Training

*bump*

Sakyo: ....!

Sakyo: Oi, watch where you're going.

Banri: ....Gh, this sucks. It's hard to see on this side, sorry.

Sakyo: That's right, you're role building aren't you.

Sakyo: It's refreshing to see your clumsy side, Settsu.

Banri: ...Jeez, don't be so amused.

Banri: Sigh...

Izumi: Ah, Banri-kun. I've heard you've been having problems. Are you okay?

Banri: Well, about that. It's really annoying. I just parted my bangs, but it's hard to judge how far away people are from me.

Izumi: So that's it.

CHOICE 1: It's refreshing to see you with a new haircut.

Izumi: It's refreshing to see Banri-kun with a new haircut.

Banri: I got a lot of reactions from the guys in the dorm and at university.

Banri: Do you like my hair like this, Director-chan?

Izumi: Yeah, I also think it's cool.

Banri: Thank you.

Banri: I'm happier hearing you say that than anyone else.

Banri: Since I've been praised by Director-chan, I think I can get used to this hairstyle.

CHOICE 2: You look good with any hairstyle.

Izumi: Banri-kun looks good with any hairstyle.

Banri: Thank you. Just hearing Director-chan say that makes me happy.

Banri: The other guys are gonna have different hairstyles in the play too, changing your hair really changes the atmosphere.

Banri: I might as well get a new haircut or something too. I'll have to talk to Azami.

Banri: Well, I should probably get used to this hairstyle first.

Izumi: Oh, that's right. Why don't you get some advice from 'that' person?

Banri: 'That' person?

Hisoka: Snzz....

Banri: Oh, found you.

Banri: Oi, Hisoka-san.

Hisoka: Snzz....zz.....

Banri: Hisoka-san. I'll give you some marshmallows, so will you listen to me?

Hisoka: Mm.... What is it?

Banri: I'm rolebuilding with this hairstyle at the moment. I'm not used to one of my eyes being hidden, though.

Banri: Is there a trick to it or something? Like, how do you even walk?

Hisoka: Forward, I walk forward.

Banri: (That's not...)

Banri: Sigh. Once I notice it blocking my view, I can't stop noticing it.

Hisoka: You can't just part your bangs, Banri. You're playing a role. Be patient.

Banri: You're right...

Hisoka: In the meantime, let's think of ways you can get used to your hairstyle while eating these marshmallows.

Banri: 'Kay, should we head to the living room?

Hisoka: Yeah.

*bump*

Hisoka: .....!

Juza: .....! I'm sorry, are you okay....?

Hisoka: Sorry, Juza. I bumped into you.

*bump*

Juza: ....!

Banri: ....guh! My bad.

Juza: Watch where you're going, asshole.

Banri: What the! Apologize! What's with the difference between me and Hisoka-san!

Juza: I don't owe you any apology. Look when you're walking.

Banri: That's why I was walking straight ahead!

Hisoka: Banri lacks training. Let's work hard together.

Banri: That's not advice...

HeliosR - Akira Otori Card story “Beware of staying up late”

Translation of Akira Otori’s initial 4* card story from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’.  

Akira: Yah, take that!

Akira: Heheheh, I won again. And with this I’ve gotten complete victory on all matches against Will today♪

Will: You’ve been good at fighting games since forever, haven’t you. But still, it feels miserable that I kept losing… 

Akira: Then let’s have another round. It’ll be an other crushing victory for me though♪

Will: There’s no way I can back out now with you saying that, I accept your challenge

Will: Actually Akira, are you sure you don’t want to go to bed? You’ve been waking up early everyday to go out to run since you became a hero, right?

Akira: It’s ingrained in my body to wake up early everyday now, and lately I’ve been waking up on my own too, I can take it easy♪

Will: Yes, yes, how good of you to keep that up

Akira: Oi, don’t treat me like a kid

Akira: I’m finally a hero now, it’s obvious that I can!

Akira: And, I’ll be surpassing Brad before he’ll even know it, I’ll show him who’ll be the greatest hero here!

Will: That again… you know you’ll get scolded again if Brad-san or Oscar-san were to hear this.

Akira: Hell yeah! Victory!

Will: Aaah, the moment I looked away you…!

Akira: Heh, even if ya didn’t, it woulda still been my win. ‘Cuz you suck~

Will: Sigh, and here I thought my skills were average at best

Akira: Awright, one more time… 

Will: We should wrap it up here for today, we’ll need to be training early in the morning tomorrow.

Will: I’m off to sleep, make sure you don’t overdo it either, Akira

Akira: I know, I know. I’mma sleep too

Will: Okay. Then, goodnight

Akira: Hmm… I said I’ll sleep buuut, feels like I’m not too satisfied yet

Akira: Okay, I’ll hop online and have one more match…!

-

Akira: A successful combo of attacks! Hell yeah, another crushing victory!

Akira: Is every guy I run into some kinda noob or what, getting a bit boring to just keep on easily winning like that. Ain’t there a tougher guy or somethin’

Akira: Heheheh, guess there’s not a single guy that can win against me. AHAHA!

Akira: ...Woah, it’s already this late. I wanted to just do one match but ended up getting way too into it

Akira: Oh man it’ll be bad if I don’t go to bed now….

Akira: Huh? A challenge to fight? I was just thinking to stop though

Akira: Well, guess I’ll see what kind of guy it is

Akira: Geh! Ain’t their character looking exactly like Brad now. A hoity-toity baton user.....

Akira: Alright, I’mma beat his ass and go to bed

Akira: Fufufuh. If only I could do this to Brad in real life...

Akira: Geh, huh, wha-, hold u-.... Gwah!

Akira: No way…. I, I already lost…?

Akira: The moment the match started he fired off that ultra combo instantly, is that even possible!

Akira: Huh, a message from them? “Already done or what, you sore loser”...

Akira: HAAAH!? Who the hell does he think he is…. “Jet”?

Akira: Goddaaaamnit, NO way I’ll forgive him for this! I ain’t gonna sleep till I win!

Akira: One more round, Jet! I’m going to get your ass REAL GOOD this time!

-

Will: ….kira, Akira! Wake up!

Akira: Snzz...buh…..

Will: I was thinking how time was flying by and you weren’t waking up… look, you’re gonna be late!

Akira: Uuuh, what’re you panicking for, Will….

Will: Are you awake!? Come on, hurry up and get changed!

Akira: ….Still, wanna sleep….gimme few more mins….

Will: Even just a bit is out of the question, we’re gonna end up being late at the meet up! Wake up and get changed already!

Akira: T’is fine, fine...guh...

Will: It’s NOT fine…! Good grief, just till what hour did you end up gaming yesterday?

Akira: Hmmhn… Got fired up, dun’ remember…. In the end, I couldn’t win against that Jet guy...

Akira: I know I didn’t win… but next time, I’mma get him… dammit….

Will: Aagh, I shouldn’t have asked… If you can talk then get out of bed! Geez, I’ll just leave you here!

Will: I already thought something was strange since you didn’t go running, I knew should’ve woken you up then

Akira: Snzzz….zzzz….

Will: DON’T go back to sleep! Open your eyes!

Will: Please, it’s already this late! Brad-san and Oscar-scan will be furious with us if we’re late!

Akira: I ain’t scared of Brad or Osca-ah….ah?

Akira: Eh…. Wha- Aren’t we supposed to be there already!

Will: I’ve been saying that how many times now. Looks like you’re awake now, so I’ll be heading off now

Akira: Shit, I’ve gotta hurry! I‘ll be damned if I’m late….

Akira: Oi, wait for me, Will!

"BamBam, I brought Youngjae-hyung!"

"Oh! Gyeomie!" BamBam, who was wearing a cheetah print shirt and tight red pants greeted the two. Once the front door opened, the music coming from the speakers became louder. Youngjae winced slightly as he stepped indoors, taking off his shoes. He looked around the living room and was relieved to see only four or five other people walking around or sitting on the floor.

Youngjae had no idea who the other people were. They were probably in BamBam’s group of 'cool' partygoers, judging from how they talked quietly and even some were still wearing sunglasses indoors. Someone sitting on the couch with his legs crossed waved his hand at Youngjae, although he couldn't tell who it was because of the sunglasses.

"Wow...! Hyung, look at all this food!" Yugyeom suddenly called out from the dining table, staring at the various bowls of food in admiration. He stuffed some popcorn into his mouth and gestured for Youngjae to hurry and come over.

"This sure is a lot," Youngjae breathed out, holding onto his elbow.

"Aren't you going to have some?"

"...No, i—" Youngjae started, but the words written on the note popped up in his head.

more than happy to see you eat.

Youngjae grabbed a plastic cup and filled it with jelly beans. He picked up a pink-colored one and threw it in his mouth, his cheeks turning into the same pink hue as the candy. It had been a while since he'd eaten any sort of sweets.

Too bad he didn't realize Im Jaebum was watching him from the crowd, sighing over his cuteness.

"Hyung, hyung, come meet these guys!" BamBam ushered Youngjae to the living room where three others were sitting on the couch, seeming much older than the both of them.

"This is Rap Mon, Def Soul, and S.Coups," BamBam named one-by-one as he pointed to the corresponding person sitting on the couch. Youngjae looked at the three and then back at his friend as though he was crazy. He did just name extremely odd titles for each of them, after all. "They're just artist names. They don't want me to reveal their real names apparently."

"Hey."

"Hi."

Each one of them sat in a way that made Youngjae feel intimidated and want to sink into the carpet beneath him. The one that caught his attention the most was the guy in the middle, apparently known as 'Def Soul.' He was wearing sunglasses for whatever reason and had at least six piercings in his ears. curling his lips into an unexpectedly friendly smile, 'Def Soul' waved his hand to Youngjae. He hesitantly waved back and also bowed his head politely.

"Yugyeomie, can you turn the music down a bit?" BamBam asked. Diligently, the tall maknae went over to the speakers and turned the volume down. Youngjae sat on the carpet while hugging his knees, being sure to be close to Yugyeom who had returned from his trip to the speakers.

"Hey Def Soul, this is your jam, isn't it?" Rap Mon snickered while elbowing his friend. tThe song playing was “Touch My Body” by Sistar, and S.Coups laughed loudly while clapping his hands. As someone who was considered the master of girl group dances, BamBam immediately stood up and started over-exaggeratedly dancing to it.

Def Soul eventually sang to the song despite seeming to regret every second of it. What surprised Youngjae the most was how amazing his singing voice is. The rather high pitched tone was such a gap from his deeper voice when talking, and Youngjae felt that was strangely attractive.

"God, BamBam. Why are your legs the same size as my arms?" S.Coups said with a groan while watching him dance and wiggle his legs around. Everyone in the room sort of groaned, too, probably thinking the exact same thing.

"What are your secrets? I want to be less fat than I already am," he remarked while rolling his eyes, taking ahold of his own thigh and visually comparing with BamBam's sticks. Youngjae's grasp around his knees tightened uncomfortably as he stared at his own legs.

Fat?

Suddenly, his head was feeling dizzy. He had just remembered something unpleasant whispered to him—

"Choi Youngjae, you still have baby fat from primary school?"

"You fat manchild."

"No one likes fat kids like you."

Knocking over the cup of jelly beans, Youngjae made a run for it to the bathroom. Both BamBam and Yugyeom looked confused, the taller deciding to follow him. The bathroom door was locked shut by the time he caught up to Youngjae.

"Youngjae-hyung?" Yugyeom knocked on the door. "Are you okay? Do you have an emergency?"

"Go away," Youngjae replied, his voice muffled presumably because he was hiding his face. He didn't want to hear any of his friends take pity on him. He wanted to lay on the cold bathroom floor until the next morning.

From behind the door, he could hear someone else's footsteps and whispers that he couldn’t understand properly. One of them left, and Youngjae shut his eyes, believing it was BamBam here to persuade him out the bathroom.

But it wasn't?

"Hey," an unexpectedly low voice called out from the other side of the door, causing Youngjae to look up in alert. His breathing became a bit heavier in embarrassment, realizing that it was one of those guys with artist names. Meanwhile, Jaebum was leaning against the door with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I'm glad to see that you finally ate."

Youngjae's eyes widened when hearing so. The note he received that day at school appeared in his mind again; it mentioned how the writer might see him at BamBam's party. Was that the person who would always notice and care about how he was doing during lunch? He wanted to burst the door open and finally find out who the culprit was, but his legs were numb. Hootsteps headed away from the bathroom, indicating that person was already leaving.

🍽

It took another minute for Youngjae to finally muster up his courage to come out of his hiding spot. He looked horrible, with his nose tinted red and his eyes dark as if from lack of sleep. Once he was back in the living room, he could see that everyone was still sitting in their original positions. He had no idea who the person was. He could simply ask, but he found that to be embarrassing for himself.

"Hyung, are you alright? Do you want to stay the night here?" BamBam asked, his voice laced with concern. Youngjae's eyes wavered to the three on the couch, especially to the one wearing sunglasses. He was sitting with his legs spread wide, both elbows resting on top of his thighs. Most noticeable of all, he was looking directly at Youngjae—at least it seemed like it, though he didn't know for sure because of the shades.

"...Is it Friday?" Youngjae asked, dazed. Yugyeom nodded his head. "I'll stay, then." He took his spot beside Yugyeom again. Having a friend who was almost two meters tall felt comforting sometimes. 'Def Soul' went to the kitchen in order to grab a drink of soda for himself.

On his trip back, though, he was holding two cups. Youngjae didn't notice at first, but 'Def Soul' placed a full cup of jelly beans next to him before sitting back down on the couch.

Youngjae shyly opened his mouth to thank him for the snack until 'Def Soul' put an index finger to his own lips to make a shushing gesture.

🍽

It was around midnight, and Youngjae was still wide awake.

The spare bed that he was offered to sleep on for the night smelled a lot like BamBam, and he didn't know how to feel about it.

Every time he closed his eyes in attempt to sleep, he would think about what had happened that day. His mind refused to fall unconscious until it had its curiosity had been fulfilled. Youngjae's legs hung over the side of the bed before he walked out the dark room and to the living room.

"BamBam?" he asked softly.

"Yeah, hyung?" the other's eyes blinked. Youngjae took the spot next to his friend and stared at his lap. BamBam wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Who were those three guys?"

"The three dudes on the couch? I met them at a studio sometime last year. I was just walking around to find Yugyeomie when they told me to freestyle rap out of nowhere. I guess they liked it," he explained with a casual shrug. "Why? You have a crush on one of them?"

Youngjae immediately shook his head, making an x sign with his arms. "I don't even know their names. Their real names."

"Well, that's a shame." BamBam made a face shrug this time. "Def Soul seemed to be really worried about you. I think you guys would be a nice couple."

He rolled his eyes at that, although he was a tiny bit flustered. Despite having no clue what Def Soul even looked like—he could be a shady old man for all Youngjae knew—the idea of dating him was something he found appealing. The minutiae of him smiling welcomingly or getting him a new cup of candy felt oddly attractive to Youngjae. Is it really possible for someone to be so handsome at heart?

"I'll go sleep now," Youngjae said while patting his friend's head affectionately.

"Sleep tight, Jaejae-hyung." BamBam grinned and dabbed. "Wanna hang out with us tomorrow? We're planning to go out for some ice cream."

"With the, uh... guys whose names I don't know?"

"Yeah. You should come with us."

Youngjae waved his hand as he disappeared down the hallway, putting up a cool act. Once he was out of BamBam's radar of sight, his cheeks flushed bright pink as he plopped down on the bed.

Why did he keep thinking about how he wanted it to be a date?

🍽

"Snzz... zzzzzz..."

"Oh my god, hyung. can you at least stay awake for one hour?" BamBam said with a sigh, making sure to drive responsibly by keeping his eyes on the road. "You sleep even worse than my sister does."

Youngjae sank into his seat even more, nodding his head to the song currently playing in the car.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the shopping mall that held the promised ice cream store. since it was a saturday morning, there were quite a lot of people walking around. They eventually met up with the rest of the group, but there was one fewer person than Youngjae had remembered there to be.

"Where's Scoops?" BamBam asked while rolling up his sleeves. Youngjae turned to the other direction in order to sneeze briefly, and he swore someone said 'bless you' quietly.

"His girlfriend or something just snatched him away on our way here. I tried telling him bros before hoes but, you know," Rap Mon shrugged his shoulders as he explained. Suddenly, BamBam dashed up to the taller's side and whispered something into his ear. The other slowly nodded his chin in agreement as Youngjae feared what would happen soon.

"Hyung and I are going to look at some clothes," BamBam said with a wink towards Youngjae, whose ears were almost pink. "You two should wait at the ice cream place until we're done! Bye!" The Thai boy shouted while waving his arm, already heading off to search for a boutique of some sort. Left speechless, Youngjae gazed at the two snickering as they strolled away.

"You gonna come or not?" A low voice called out to him, causing him to freeze in surprise. The culprit was Def Soul, whom he admittedly didn't notice until just now since he was so quiet. Youngjae nodded meekly and caught up to him, awkwardly walking besides him.

Im Jaebum was satisfied with himself—he had his boy crush almost literally clinging onto him.

"Do you have an eating disorder?" Def Soul asked out of nowhere, keeping his voice down knowing it was a sensitive topic. Ever so coolly, he stuffed his hands into his ripped jeans pockets and looked forward. He wore a baggy, beige turtleneck sweater which seemed to conceal his identity even more. Youngjae bit on his lower lip.

"I... um..." His hand, covered completely by his hoodie's sleeve, lifted up to cover his mouth. It was a subconscious sign that he didn't want to talk about it. Somehow, the various people walking by were shooting judgmental glares at Youngjae—well, at least they were in his mind. Again, just like the night before's party, his breathing was becoming rushed and he felt as if he was suffocating.

That suffocating feeling went straight away once Def Soul put his arm around his shoulders.

"It's alright," he whispered and continued to casually stroll down the hall. The ice cream shop was nearby already as the red hue spread across Youngjae's cheeks never disappeared. Def Soul's arm left the younger's shoulders and disappointingly took the warmth from his skin. He opened the door for Youngjae, who couldn't bear to look at him directly as he walked in.

Def Soul patted Youngjae's arm and pointed to an empty table before approaching it, sitting down with a sigh. Although it resembled a date too much, Youngjae knew he'd have to sit across from him to avoid making things even more awkward. His hands were folded politely in his lap.

"I'll go order something. What do you want to get?" Def Soul asked, pushing up his sunglasses.

"...Vanilla ice cream," Youngjae requested without looking up from his lap. Nodding, Def Soul stepped to the counter while staring at the menu. A few people sitting in the shop had their gaze fixed on the rare sight of a celebrity-like customer.

Youngjae hid behind the table and his cheeks became even more flushed. He realized that he didn't hand Def Soul any money to pay for his food. Meekly, he peered over to the male ordering the ice cream for him.

Why is he fine with paying for him?

Why is so nice to him in the first place?

Something about that subtle kindness was so familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
