さくら満開

[text: homura akemi ] Are you joking? He’s fine like this, as long as he becomes aware of other things and doesn’t ask me too many questions.

[text: kyoko sakura] I'm not "dude". 

He knew that his best friend was always a fucking weirdo who balanced multiple girls at the same time and he knew what sort of connotations that held for him. As Gogo stuttered out a shocked response, Kyuhyun leaned back. “Yes. Dinner. I want to take you out,” he said. He wasn’t backing down, besides he was extremely persuasive and very stubborn on his own things. He never took no for an answer.

The amount of confusion on the young girl's face was so evident it hurt her almost. What? That was the only thing, she could say and by the time it left her lips he was already gone. Now she had to think-- date. How do you even go out on a date? No more importantly, why would he want to take her out? There were so many girls, so many other girls that would kill probably to be her and here she was panicking. It wasn't like he invited her to commit suicide or trip acid. But her stammering that seemed a little too late well, she only could sigh. Picking up her books quickly, packing them away and sighing louder. "I'm really.. in a pinch here." The young girl muttered in Japanese before letting her new flats lightly tap at the polished floors of the school. She probably looked like there was a dark cloud over her head, like at any moment she could drop dead. It wouldn't be out of dread per se, it'd be out of nervousness. How would she even dress for this? Looking down at her usual wardrobe of flats and flowery pastel dresses.

Chiaki had spent most of her time outdoors, and thanked god she remembered sunscreen. Her skin, would probably be baking without it and she remembered how earlier she teased Hamin for being such a baby for panicking about burning up. The girl tugged at her shorts, feeling as if people were now watching her every move. Her legs were long, and she felt as if she were reavealing everything to the world. But it was just so hot, Chiaki couldn't be caught dead in pants once again. Luckily, Chiaki was enjoying her time out her though it wasn't exactly traditional camping. Felt more like the rich kids summer camp in her opinion, the scenery was beautiful. Everyone was comfortable and seemed to be having fun, so she was thankful for that at least. All she wanted was to be sure no one was having a shitty time. She counted on it being herself, but the girl was doing whatever and that made her happy. For example practicing her archery, and taking jogs to the lake and back. To her those things were fun, and praying that Bingo didn't eat the Bonzai tree Ikuma had given to her as a present. But she was sure Minah could take care of Bingo and her plants. 

Crinkling her nose, she made a face at the older girl. Yes, she was out of touch, but Chiaki didn’t need to be so blunt about it. Tucking her hair behind her ears, she rubbed the nape of her neck and sighed. “You see, I haven’t been able to get much practice lately. The softball tournament is coming soon.” It was a lame excuse, she got to admit, but she had nothing else to offer.

Flustered at the Nee-chan title, Chiaki could only well smile, "Hmm.. well you do have more potential than Sungjun. So I suppose I can help you out." She teased the girl with a nudge, being sure not to use too much force cause she remembered once she had wanted to be playful and ended up knocking a friend on her back. Though Chiaki was good at teaching, the girl always felt her teachings lacked something. Plus she knew that she could off of well harsh was an understatement. A lot the time, she felt people didn't even bother to join Kumdo simply because they heard she was a bitch. Then again, Tomomi seemed to be a more willing student, and was one of the few girls herself that had joined the team. So maybe Chiaki could teach the girl, she could stand her company long enough to talk to her. "I do feel I'll go easier on you. Probably because you're really cute." She said a more sisterly tone taking on her voice. Chiaki reached over with a smile to pinch a the younger girl's cheek. 

"Yeah..I’ve kind of been all over the place doing things for the department  and a few of my own projects of my own." Minjun managed to explain slightly as he shrugged. Though to be honest he was glad that he was finally at a point where he could take a small break before preparing for what could be a very long summer. "Well…it’s greatly appreciated. I won’t have to buy Kimchi for a long while to come." he said with a small smile as he looked down at the jar in his hands. His head tilted slightly as his eyes shifted to the ground for a moment and he chuckled softly. "Gotcha." he said with an understanding nod, his smile remaining small and sweet. 

"It's really no problem, as long I can do something for you." Chiaki had said with a small smile on her lips. A lot of the time, she felt that she owed him something. He always so nice to her, the geunine uncoditonal kind. She was sure that everyone knew how wonderful he was. Chiaki herself knew that maybe someone like her could never be as close as she'd like. Even this right now was good enough, hell she wasn't even into drinking coffee but for some reason it sounded nice to be offered some. Like this cup of coffee would be more important than sip of water she'll ever drink in her life. Swallowing hard, she nodded an inaudible answer to his question. Feeling that if she said yes, the tone in her voice would be even more eager than she wanted to sound. Because well she was excited, even if she couldn't properly express herself.

 "well you won’t continue to go unnoticed, now that you mentioned it.. so isn’t it a good thing that you brought it up?" he asked with a grin "besides I like the fact that you were able to just say it so.. cooly" he added while chuckling lightly. He never expected her to do anything like that for anyone, Chiaki just didn’t seem like that type of girl. His cheeks became a light shade of pink after being complimented "you think so? well.. uh,"he paused not knowing what to say, you would expect him to be cocky about everything, even his looks but he wasn’t, small compliments like those really made him feel some type of shy. "this is my first time seeing you up close, and in all honesty though.. You look way cooler from a far and just kinda.. cute.. from up close. " Guk rubbed his neck as he continued to walk with her "it’s like you;re an intimidating strong woman from a far and an innocent harmless one up close"  he shrugged not knowing if he made sense or not but to him it sounded just right. No one would dare approach a female so skilled in Kumdo and archery.. it would be like setting yourself up, but when seeing her from a close distance she really just looked like a harmless and fragile female,even if that wasn’t the case. 

She only smiled, "I'm really not that cool, actually surprised I haven't passed out. I definitely think you look cool, Yongguk." Chiaki insisted with a small chuckle, then she quickly wanted to fall to the floor. Her face heated up, and the young woman swallowed hard. Feeling her legs become heavy and her throat squeezing up at his compliments. Not really knowing to say when people referred to her as cute, seing that she was 24 years old. The young woman felt her time to be adorable was long gone. But seeing that her words actually had an affect on him, almost made the moment seem even. "You're too kind to me.. really." She said a small sigh leaving her lips, "But thank you..though my days of being cute are over. Though I am strong enough to take you on, Yongguk." She said with a cute wrinkle of her nose. Though it was a joke, some men well it wasn't their favorite trait. Because her strength in her opinion might be a turn off, most men wanted to feel like they were able to protect their woman. But turns out, Chiaki could carry the whole team if need be, and probably make sure majority of everyone makes it out alright. It was just in her nature to be strong, she had promised herself she would be. 

[text: homura akemi ] I should stop flirting with you, I mean I have a boyfriend. OH YEAH. THAT’S A THING, ME AND HOON WE’RE A THING.

[text: kyoko sakura ] I know you mentioned it, how unfortunate for Hoon. Though you are quite something, maybe he'll become more.. aware.

Physics class, indeed. He recognized her as well. He also remembered how girls either avoided her or tried to be her friend. For some reason, now that he saw her like this, Joon understood the general attitude. But in spite of murder glowing in her eyes, he had to talk to her. After all, a broken person always sniffs out another of his kind. A short laughter escaped his lungs and he shook his head, impressed by her attitude towards him. ”I’m glad I’m not dead then. I have a lot of more things to do, places to see.” People to meet? Perhaps. This was not on the top of his list since he was not exactly the definition of a social person. Look up social in a dictionary and one would certainly not find Joon’s picture there.

Chiaki just glanced over at him, "Hm. Kumdo requires discipline, and style. It's really not for everyone, but I more than adept at it. But who knows, maybe you'll come around." She said casually, it was no secret among the Kumdo team that Chiaki may be a samurai or something. Because her talent was almost unmatched, Hwang Chansung was the only one to beat her. But sometimes Chiaki felt she let him win every time. He was pretty cute when he won a spar, and plus if someone like her beat someone like him his pride might be shattered. That is not the style of the Kuriyama women, protecting a man's pride was something important. As for what he said next she rolled her eyes, "..Interesting, I don't invite people to sit next to me, nor do I bother to talk to most of anyone. So it's more you that should appreciate my company. I guess we're both a bit odd tonight." She combated with him, maybe he didn't realize that she didn't care who he was. There was no reason for him to have an ego, she could've lived her whole life without meeting him. In her opinion she wasn't missing much.
