  Masaomi stretched his arms above his head and smirked. “Don’t be offended. You should take my mistake as a compliment, really. I was saying that I think you’re attractive enough to be desired by many men. Seriously, though, what’s your deal? How do you get those donations?”

“What’s it matter? I take what I can get get, and make it through another day with some bucks. It’s not like it’s anything you need to worry about, so why pry so much?”

  The blond leaned towards her a bit, and his voice lowered to a whisper as he spoke again. “Are you a hooker?”

“Why? Were you desperate to find one and thought you got lucky?” 

  Masaomi absentmindedly slid his fingers through his hair as he looked out the window. “What do you do on weekdays, then? Do you have a full-time job?”

“No job for me, I get by with some generous donations from some kind hearted people I know of. Gives me a lot of free time to do pretty much whatever I want.”

  The blond leaned back and looked around. “Yep. I enjoy it, even if the work load can be difficult sometimes. Are you in school?”

“Nope. School’s too much of a drag for me. Not like it does any good in the end.” Oh yes, school days were such fond memories now weren’t they. She made a mental note to visit all of her special classmates.

     “Better than talking to you? No way! I’m having so much fun with you, and I       have the day off of work and classes. My friends are busy with their work and       school, so I figured I would make a new friend.”

“Oh, school kid huh? Yeah I can see that. You have this sort of student vibe about you.” He kind of was acting like some kid fresh out of his first year of middle school, but she’d probably get some over reaction from him if she said that out loud. “Well at least you got something going for you.”

  Hearing her somewhat put herself down, Masaomi reached out and twirled a few strands of her hair around his fingers. “What are you talking about? You’re absolutely gorgeous. Your lovely long hair, those piercing chocolatey eyes, your sharp bone structure… I could go on and on about your beauty.”

“Yeah yeah, whatever you say kid. I don’t really care about looks or appearances. I could be the hottest person in town and not care at all, though I know that’s far from the truth.” He definitely had bad taste in women. “Don’t you have better things you could be doing? Figure someone like you’d be super popular with all your sweet talk.”

  The blond chuckled. “Of course I’m not a playboy. Maybe I like to flirt with beautiful women who deserve attention, but when I have a girl, nobody else could possibly be a potential partner in my eyes. I’m a loyal man, Samil-san, with many complexities that you have to uncover by getting close to me. It’s like going on an adventure.”

“Oh yeah, I’m sure you do. Though I don’t see the what “beauty” you’re seeing. Guess you’ve got some weird tastes there.”
