the psych ward

rei (@mimixso) - gained a following when one of her extremely questionable cooking streams got popular. to this day, people are still absolutely baffled by the fact that she was able to burn water. she still does cooking streams once every few months, but most of her viewers also tune in for her gaming and karaoke streams. people know her as the most girlfailure streamer of all time, and they often speculate that kazuha does all the cooking in their household (spoiler alert: they're right). her chat enjoys making fun of her (in a silly way) because her reactions are very loser-coded. she's extremely easy to fluster, and both chat and her streamer friends take advantage of that fact. despite being a little bit wacky, she tries her best to help her friends by mixing their covers from time to time.

melon (@littlebluejayy) - people can't believe that he exists. he's just too goofy to be real. melon is known as one of the most chaotic streamers out of the group, but people appreciate his sense of humour and his antics with other streamers (especially xiao). most of his content revolves around playing shitty mobile games, rhythm games, and dating sims. his dating sim streams tend to be the most popular because there's always a 99% chance that his bf will pop in to slander one of the characters (omg xiao jealous of a fictional character?). similarly to rei, melon's chat enjoys bullying him for fun. most of the time, they'll make fun of him for being xiao's #1 simp, but deep down, they're all miao fans. he also gets accused of being a furry every week because of his obsession with being an alpha male.

yui (@kunix) - a popular artist who started off their content creation career by making undertale animatics! they often stream their random shenanigans and roblox gameplay on their channel. most of the time, they're quiet and calm, and as a result, they have virtually no haters. their chat absolutely adores them and sees them as an angel. people love their voice so much that they've gotten voice acting roles in a few games. their streamer friends always get whiplash when they hear yui's voice in a video game. when fans learned that yui was dating scaramouche, they were in absolute shock. they were practically polar opposites. however, over time, people began to appreciate how yui brought out a softer side to scaramouche.

oliver (@xlivr) - chaos part 2. fans would adore oliver for their jokes and personality. she's definitely one of the more talkative members of the group, and as such, her storytime/just chatting streams are nearly as popular as her gaming content. it's not rare for him to flirt with his friends (platonically, of course). due to this, fans have lots of content for their oliver x (other streamer) compilations. there are nearly more oliver x yui, oliver x alexis, and oliver x ari compilations than oliver x ajax compilations. aside from his shipability (i made up a word </3), one of the main reasons people love oliver is the fact that they don’t take shit from anyone. she’ll literally rip the haters to shreds, especially if they target her friends.

èlise (@uinnea) - the sweetheart of the group. she's super supportive of her friends, and she'll ensure that they always know how much she loves them. being too wholesome is the only crime that she would ever go to jail for. èlise is incredibly dedicated and always tries her hardest to make her content as perfect as possible for her fans. although people love her for that, they're also concerned about her wellbeing. they console themselves with the fact that her boyfriend, lyney, pampers the hell out of her! beneath all the sunshine and rainbows, èlise is also a very chaotic individual. although she's not quite as rabid dog as melon or oliver, there are still times where she'll get a little bit too silly.

alexis (@alekav) - another absolute saint. they're very outwardly affectionate towards the people they care about, and as a result, it's led to her being shipped with various other streamers within the friend group (especially oliver) despite the fact that they're already dating kaveh. many people joke about alexis' relationship with kaveh being a coverup for their relationship with oliver. apart from that inside joke, fans admire alexis' understanding nature. he's often the mediator whenever his friends get into lighthearted arguments on stream (someone give her a raise!). they also have a great eye for aesthetics and often help out with the layouts of their friends' weekly stream schedules!

ari (@i--luv--you) - super smart! fans are scared whenever ari decides to stream with albedo because their combined brainpower is just too much for chat to handle. people are convinced that if they wanted to, they could take over the world together (cue the au edits). ari is the type of person to pause their gameplay to do chat's homework questions on screen. she'd pull up ms paint or something in order to show them how to figure out the answer! at least 50% of his audience is made up of academic victims who desperately need his help.

the bfs' profiles are going to be in a different post! finally posted this because monday "alpha" melon told me to get back in the kennel.

Continuing where we left off with Akai.

Shuichi must've regained conciousness quickly, because when he comes to, strands of soft hair brush against his face. Rei has tipped his head back, holding him steady and leaning in close to check whether he's still breathing. Shuichi actually doing so with sputtering gasps seems to be the wrong move, though. As soon as Shuichi shows signs of life, Rei's heat is gone as the agent hurries to get some distance between them.

The ensuing tirade as Akai's dragged up the stairs to the guest bedroom Okiya Subaru is occupying is decidedly not helping the developing headache and nausea. Everything is pain. But that's par for the course. He needs to eat something, maybe take a painkiller or two, and then he really needs to get back to his watch over Shiho. He's already wasted too much time.

As usual, Rei has other plans. He shoves Shuichi into bed, throws a blanket over him and orders him to stay. put. Shuichi wants to assure Rei that it's fine, he's fine, and he really has better things to do, but the other agent runs off, quietly talking to someone on the phone. Warmth is seeping into Shuichi's bones under the blanket, and the lack of sleep from the last couple of days is rapidly catching up, now that he's bundled up in bed. See, that's why he would usually avoid it. And should really get out, right about now. But he's a little too worn to get up. Maybe he can entrust matters to Rei, just for a little while.

To his surprise, Rei returns a couple of minutes later, stirring Shuichi out of a light doze. He's carrying a glass of water and plate. It smells of summer.

"I thought I made myself clear last time", he mutters to himself, putting the items on the bedside table.

('I won't pamper you, if you collapse again.' Amidst the drowsiness, a half-buried memory threatens to resurface. He might have been sick, before?)

"Not the same", Shuichi drawls in protest, because he can't let Bourbon get away with everything.

('Nobody's forcing you to be here', his memory says. As if anyone could make Bourbon do something he truly objects to.)

Grimacing at the lack of seating opportunities, Rei sits down on the bed next to him.

"Alright, even an old man like you should be able to eat this." Rei nudges a piece of melon against his lips. Shuichi finds himself dutifully taking a couple of bites, and then a sip of water. Eventually Rei relents, gets up. With a click, the room goes dark. Shuichi thinks he might leave for good, now, but then the matress dips as Rei returns to his side. In the unlit room, Shuichi is keenly aware he's only inches away.

('Rest. I'll take the first watch', the echo of a bygone era says.)

Rei stays by his side until the front door rattles downstairs, and the chatter of the Kudos drifts up. Then he flees into the night.

The sweater he came for lies forgotten in its bag in the basement gym.

Shuichi can't remember the last time he slept this well.

III.

"You wouldn't happen to know why Amuro wanted me to fetch him, and I quote, whichever Sherlock Holmes book has The Empty House case? He could just look it up online."

Shinichi is perched precariously on the ladder in the Kudo library, fishing for the book in question. Shuichi's watching it sway, coiled and ready in case he needs to get up and catch the boy. It's probably fine, but he has thought enough about death these past couple of days. He'd really rather not have another avoidable one on his conscience.

"Not particularly", he says, sipping his coffee. For the most part, The Return of Sherlock Holmes is probably of little importance to Furuya. He likely just wanted Shinichi, or rather, Conan (because he's not sure Furuya has cracked that one yet, and it's not his secret to share) out of his hair for the day.

"It's hard to tell with him, but it seemed like it was important." Conan climbs down the ladder. Another potential disaster averted.

Shuichi shrugs. "I don't know of any important missions he has coming up." None that would benefit from reading Holmes, in any case.

At that, Conan raises an eyebrow. "And the two of you have been getting along rather well recently, right?"

There's no reason to lie to the boy. "He's been around. We're working on it." He has been nagging and yelling and an all-around whirlwind, but Shuichi appreciates the company.

"It's about Scotch, right? Why he's mad at you?" Curiosity clear on his face, Conan settles sideways in the comfortable library armchair, legs dangling over the armrest. Watches Shuichi carefully, who can't help but smile. "Now, wherever did you learn that name?" Conan just shrugs, smirks. "I'd rather not reveal my sources. Although this one would surprise you, I think."

There's a limited number of people it could be, considering Furuya himself would never tell, but Shuichi doesn't push it. "Alright. What do you know about him?"

"He was a NOC. A friend of Bourbon. And yours as well?"

"Is", Shuichi corrects, automatically, because that's the important part. "He's still alive."

He finishes his coffee, sets it down. And because he's wanted to talk about this for a while, he tells Shinichi about Scotch.

Scotch was a divine blessing. That's neither sugar-coating nor exaggeration, simply fact.

Looking back, Shuichi is pretty sure the rotten company was a major part of why that first year in the organisation was almost unbearable. Everyone, from the executives down, was bad news, but he was most often exposed to his fellow snipers. Korn was fine, mostly calm and keeping to himself. Calvados was annoying in his continuous idolisation of Vermouth, but mostly harmless. Chianti, well, Chianti was the worst.

Shuichi's still not sure how a sniper gets away with being that obnoxious without raising attention to their position ahead of time, screwing over every single operation they're part of. Somehow, she manages - that somehow usually involves killing any unlucky witnesses. That wasn't all, though.

Shuichi is keenly familiar with the thrill of the hunt. He understands the excitement and the pride, even if Chianti is, at best, a middling sniper. But he's always followed a set of principles, and the way Chianti liked to play with her targets, relishing in the pain she caused before finally killing her prey in an absolute disregard of the value of life left him violated at his core. If he wasn't really careful, this could be his future.

And because that wasn't bad enough, Chianti would bring up her accomplishments for the rest of the day, dragging the other snipers into a pissing contest about who had caused the most damage. Shuichi was glad Rye's persona was cold and detached and rarely talked. He wasn't sure he could've kept his cover, otherwise.

So he did what he did best: establish himself as a lone operator. He was clearly superior in skill, didn't even need a spotter. Told whoever was assigned on a mission with him to go take an extended break while he dealt with things. The less time he spent with those lunatics, the better.

Enter stage right: Scotch.

"Scotch made his codename as a sniper. Because he was new in the organisation as well, they assigned him to be my partner."

Shuichi had figured he would hate him, and then he didn't.

Scotch was a breath of fresh air. Cool and composed, very capable. No-nonsense, and most important for Rye's sanity: he wasn't going out of his way to be cruel. Working with Scotch was almost like working a normal job. Sure, they made their business killing people, but finally, here Scotch was, treating it with the appropriate gravitas. What started as smalltalk during stakeouts turned into shared smoke breaks, and, after a while, Scotch insisted they unwind together after missions. They'd grab drinks and junk food, and talk about literally anything but their job. Music, often. Sometimes sports. Life and love, rarely. Off-mission, Scotch was personable when he wanted, even cracking jokes sometimes. Rye couldn't laugh, but Shuichi always felt a little less dead inside.

His risk assessment told him Scotch was dangerous. His was the kind of discipline one could only get from good training. The kind that taught him to take the job seriously, but socialize after a mission, in order to avoid letting the job consume his mind. Shuichi had heard it during academy training, and, seeing the difference in action, thought that just maybe he should've tried sooner. Not that there had been anyone he would've liked to share a drink with, before Scotch. He'd liked to stay in and hide, with Akemi.

That very professionalism really was the downside of working so closely with Scotch. He was the kind of guy who didn't make mistakes. If Rye slipped up Scotch would, indubitably, follow orders and put a bullet through his brain stem without asking further questions. Though maybe, there was a small window of opportunity to sway him, if things came down to it. Scotch, after all, claimed he was mostly in it for the money. (Akai rather hoped the FBI would be willing to reimburse a large sum of money in exchange for an agent's life). With that partnership stable, things were looking up for Rye, for once.

Enter stage left: Bourbon.

Bourbon had made his way to the top in the shadows, appearing almost as if out of thin air. A shark-like investigator, Vermouth's shiny new boytoy, or so the gossips said, and Shuichi quickly realized the less they saw each other, the better.

The word count Rye had uttered in company of BO operatives tripled in a single meeting between them. Because from day zero, Bourbon seemed to hate him, and was pretty vocal about it too. Rye, of course, had a reputation to maintain, and Shuichi's never liked to back down from a challenge, so they ended up arguing more often than not.

On the bright side, most operatives left them to their fights, unwilling to be dragged into a territorial dispute between two predators.

With two notable exceptions: Scotch, calm and sociable, supposedly trying to maintain a work environment where his colleagues didn't shoot each other in the back. At the time, Rye had appreciated the back-up from his partner, but in hindsight, he was probably trying to keep Bourbon out of trouble instead.

The other exception was Gin, wo seemed to delight in watching them try to tear each other apart. Which made it significantly less fun, and resulted in a strange sort of understanding between Bourbon and Rye. They turned their considerable vitriol against Gin, instead. Only Scotch's timely interventions got them out of stupid competitions of who could piss Gin off faster without new holes in their bodies.

With time, the continued involvement of Scotch was the thing that kept attracting Shuichi's attention. The pair of them and Bourbon didn't have joint missions often, usually their respective specialities were needed elsewhere, but every once in a blue moon they did come up. When Bourbon needed security, or he lured out a target for them to take care of; when he had to make the final call of whether it was necessary to permanently deal with a security risk, or if they could be persuaded to keep their stupid mouth shut.

A subtle, but interesting change happened when Bourbon and Scotch were in a room together. Or even just on coms. Granted, Shuichi was a trained intelligence agent and had been partnered with Scotch for a while, but the chinks in their armor became glaringly obvious to him in due time. Both Bourbon and Scotch were capable independantly, but if one paid attention when they were working together, one could see the shift of tension outward, the way they effortlessly trusted each other in a way that was dangerous for two BO operatives. How they got even more efficient about solving problems when combined.

They must have been lovers. Dangerous for them, but they kept it low-profile and ultimately it was very much not his business. He only kept it in mind for blackmail purposes.

Then Masumi found them, returning from several weeks of hell in Osaka.

Each of them saw something they weren't supposed to, that day. Masumi, the three of them. Scotch and Bourbon, how much she meant to him. And Shuichi, well, Shuichi saw how gentle Scotch was with this kid that was prime blackmail material. How he didn't press her for information, but instead taught her some chords with a genuine smile. How Bourbon stepped in to try and remind him who he was supposed to be, before Rye came back. But he saw. And that changed things.

Whether because of the chance meeting or their misadventures in Osaka, Bourbon started joining them for drinks. The two of them still didn't like each other, but Scotch proved himself quite capable of stoking the uneasy cameraderie born from their mutual hatred of Gin into something resembling a tentative alliance. They'd look out for each other, just a little, just as long as there was plausible deniability. It showed in small things; giving someone a lift after a mission; fetching antibiotics when one of them was sick; grabbing an extra blanket for winter stakeouts because someone always insisted he was fine, and then froze his ass off.

They were in the organisation together for a year, after that encounter, and neither Bourbon nor Scotch ever uttered a word about Masumi. Hell, even when Scotch's cover was blown and Shuichi rushed to save his partner, Scotch didn't try to bargain with the dirt on the little girl he'd seen that day. Instead he stole Rye's revolver, and tried to kill himself to erase the evidence of his existance. What a beautiful idiot.

"His cover was blown, but I managed to get to him in time. We faked his death, and put him into witness protection."

It was a damn near thing. Over their struggle, they almost missed the lone car approaching the derelict building, the screeching brakes their warning as it came to a stop downstairs. Shuichi had implored Scotch to stop this nonsense. It wasn't his time to die, not yet, not if Akai could help it. He asked for Scotch's trust, and promised that in exchange they'd both walk out alive.

Someone needed to keep a cool head, and seeing as it wasn't gonna be Scotch, it fell to Akai. A good agent always has a back-up plan, so Shuichi had ushered Scotch onto the railing and then up the emergency staircase's roof. There they waited and watched as Bourbon came and went. In an ironic display of his disposition, Bourbon checked all the ways down, but never once bothered looking up.

With the benefit of hindsight, they could've handled it better, if they had just talked. But at the time, with all the adrenaline and no guarantee Bourbon was like them, Shuichi didn't reach out. Scotch kept his mouth shut, too - understandable, Rye could've been lying through his teeth in an attempt to out both him and Bourbon. Theirs was a fragile trust, forged out of hunches and faith, and it was barely enough to get all of them out alive.

After Bourbon left, they smashed Scotch's phone, just to be safe, and faked his death by blowing up a surrogate corpse in a decommissioned building. For lack of time, they used what was supposed to be Shuichi's own exit strategy. Thus, the corpse found charred in the wreckage was slightly off in build and stature. But back then, Gin wasn't as paranoid yet, and it was good enough.

Not for Bourbon though, who hounded Rye with a vengeance. Shuichi avoided him like the plague for two months, at which point he didn't need to worry about him anymore, because his cover was blown sky high and he had other problems.

"It was sloppy work, and Bourbon never quite got over Scotch's supposed death. Before he could confront me, though, my cover was blown, and I left for the US." Shuichi had turned tail and ran, relishing the opportunity to get out and breathe freely again. There's no way he can tell that to the boy. And knowing what it cost, he wouldn't do it again.

Shinichi waits for further elaboration, which doesn't come. After some minutes of silence, he pipes back up. "Let me guess. You left him in the dark, even after you came back to Japan."

Shuichi nods. Smart kid, gets it in one. "Even if I had a safe way to contact him - which I didn't - Scotch never told me Furuya was PSB before he went into witness protection. Suspicions alone could've been my death sentence." He's forced to smile. "Well. An earlier one, I suppose."

"He can be pretty intense, can't say that I blame you." The boy shivers, eyes distant. "Coming clean must have been scary, huh?"

Coming clean had mostly been a relief, really. Furuya was too persistant, it was simply taking up too many resources to keep at arm's length someone who, for all intents and purposes, should have been an ally. Fear in general is a rather foreign emotion to Akai, and has never really crossed Shuichi's mind where Furuya is concerned. Not even when they'd pointed their guns at each other that fateful night in this same mansion's entrance hall. There had been anticipation, the electric thrill of meeting an equal, and the tacit hope that their little game of cat and mouse, intruiging as it was, might finally come to an end so they could focus on what really mattered.

"Not really." He shrugs. "It was necessary for us to lay our cards on the table. There were too many misunderstandings and lies between us. You can't build a partnership on a foundation like that."

Conan nods, seemingly lost in his own head. "How did he take it?" he finally asks, quietly.

"Oh, he was absolutely livid." The bruises had still been fun colours several weeks later.

Conan goes a little pale.

"To be clear, while unproductive, his anger is understandable. Thankfully, Scotch and I share the blame, 50/50, so it's really not that bad. Furuya's coming around." And between all that anger, when they'd put Scotch on speaker, and Furuya's eyes had gone wide with surprise and tentative hope at that first 'Hi, Zero', Shuichi had known going through the semi-official channels to try and dig up where Scotch was hiding had been worth it.

Shinichi is lost in thought, for a while. Finally, he seems to have reached a conclusion. With a tired smile that belies his actual age, he asks, just a little hopefully: "It will be alright, then?"

Shuichi's eyes are drawn to the now-empty take-away cup of black coffee that Conan brought with him from Poirot, dedicated to 'that idiot' in Amuro's neat handwriting. He smiles, and ruffles Conan's hair.

"...yeah. Yeah, I think it will."

Sweater weather AU masterpost

#akai accidentally giving Conan relationship advice? it's more likely than you think #the first draft had rei feed akai a banana but I couldn't type that with a straight face and rei is already suffering enough.so melon it is #supposedly it's high in potassium and sugars and therefore good to give someone after they faint #akai: and then I talked to him about scotch. also akai: says a whole eight sentences on the matter xD #sweater weather AU #akam #iris writes things #long post #the rich inner life of akai shuichi

Dear Diary,

It has been three years since The Yui Incident. No one has heard from Yui since that day. It's like Rei doesn't even know who we, me and Melon, are. Nothing's been the same since that day. Our skin has turned to scales, the toilets are far beyond repair, and we are losing all sense of our alpha maleness. I promise; we will find Yui and make this right. I will find Yui and make this right.

Melon, if you are reading this: don't come looking for me. This is something I must do on my own. For us. For you.

This is farewell, my friend.

Signed,

Oli.

#diary entry. (12/09) — The Yui Incident.

UH HI THIS IS REI ON ALT BECAUSE I’M SUPER BORED!! i’m here!!! FOR!!! A VERY IMPORTANT REASON!!! i want to rank mizuki cards teehee (because i love them, and my conversation with melon inspired me)

DOES ANYONE CARE?!!? NO!!! probably not lmao but i’m going to go crazy anyway because this is my blog!! i might do something similar with other n25 members and MAYBEEE some mmj members in the future

without further ado…

30. this.

something about the green is off-putting.

29. another two star 😿

mizuki always slays, but there’s not much that can really be done with two stars anyway

28. them <3

unfortunately there have to be some mizuki cards that are ranked lower, and although this one is a classic, it’s very bare. it does capture their personality quite well though lmao

27. surprise?!!?!! high rarity card this low down?!!!

i just don’t vibe with it. when i first started playing proseka, i tried to pull for this card, didn’t get it, and then after, i learned that there were prettier cards, so i more or less have personal beef with this card.

26. NEW OUTFITS!!!

i don’t know why i like this card better than the previous one.

25. yippee

i’m 99% sure i just like the way mizuki’s hair is blowing in the wind

24. lowkey giving royalty au vibes

the background of this card makes it nicer to look at than the other mizuki two stars.

23. ICONIC??!?

the pose is so memorable for some reason.

Beyblade G Revolution will be teaming up with A3 Events to have a limited collaboration with the Francetei/Furansutei chain of restaurants (specifically the Ikebukuro branch), where a themed menu along with merch will be available from 14th to 27th December.

Translation of the themed drink menu:

Takao's Dragoon Pine/Pint (I'm a bit unclear on this one, and the dictionary tells me that this katakana spelling is used both as a shortform for pineapple and pint 🙆🏻‍♀️)

Ingredients: Pineapple juice and coconut milk topped with strawberry, mint and sliced lemon.

Kai's Dranzer Tonic

Ingredients: Tonic water, cranberry drink with blue curacao and topped with strawberry, mint and sliced lemon.

Rei's Drigger Yogurt

Ingredients: Drinking yogurt with sugar and lemon syrups, topped with berries and strawberries.

Max's Draciel Melon Soda

Daichi's Gaia Dragoon Juice

Ingredients: Grape juice with grapefruit juice, topped with cherry and sliced mango.

Mao's Galux Cranberry Calpis

Ingredients: Cranberry juice with Calpis (a Japanese soft drink brand) topped with whipped cream and honey.

[Mao instead of Hiromi is understandable yet a choice that makes me sad, I wish eventually they decide to give us some merch with Hiromi in the future 🥹]

#beyblade #bakuten shoot beyblade #takao kinomiya #kai hiwatari #rei kon #max mizuhara #daichi sumeragi #mao chen #beyblade g revolution #beyblade news #TAKAO MY LOVE LOOKING SO SO CUTEE!!#I'm obsessed with this look #beyblade cafe au takao is a waiter and hiromi a customer coming right up!!!#lol jk maybe some day #graphics definitely on the way tho

One of the little details that I really love is the fact that shouto and momo both have perfect melon seed faces, which implies to the reader/watcher that they are part of the upper class before they ever speak.

In most east Asian cultures, the ideal of beauty is that feature, the melon seed face (high cheekbones and a narrow chin, making the head literally look like an oblong melon seed). Because of societal values worldwide, just about every country in the world- including Japan- equates beauty with success and wealth. People subconsciously assume that rich people are beautiful, and beautiful people are rich.

So for shouto and momo, the two richest kids in class 1a (arguably, bc... iida) to have that perfect ideal of beauty while izuku and ochako, the two characters that are arguably the poorest, have rounded chins and faces and almost overlarge eyes... it's a nice bit of background storytelling.

Another little detail is that in the manga, ochako is also drawn to be soft and kind of chubby (they trimmed down her waist a bunch in the anime). People who grow up in East Asian cultures are likely to be thinner than if the exact same person grew up in a western culture due to the low-meat high-vegetable cultural diet of Japan, China, and Korea, so beauty standards reflect that as well. Notably, momo has a perfect hourglass waistline and thin limbs, while ochako (in the manga) has no discernable waistline and thicker limbs.

It's a really cool little bit of... foreshadowing? Setup? Essentially, the first time the reader/watcher sees the members of class 1a, they can infer, even subconsciously, that momo and shouto are well off, and ochako is very much not. That makes their eventual backstory reveals feel like a puzzle piece has fallen into place, or maybe like a reward for guessing right.

All this to say, in my opinion it is an important detail of shoutos character that he has a melon seed face, and not just because it's very clearly inherited from rei.

And the fact that whoever is in charge of the live action movie cast some white dude who decidedly does Not have a melon seed face is KILLING me.

A lavish fruit basket sat on the table with a name written on it— To: (Y/n) (L/n).

However, the sender's name was not written and thus, remains unknown.

Rei: My, my, those are some delicious-looking fruits. From melons and muscat grapes to peaches, apples, and even mangos.

Rei: That's a rather lavish assortment of fruits. What's the special occasion?

Rei: A present from an unknown sender? Fufu, you sure do have some passionate fans if they're willing to come all the way to The Magnolia to deliver this.

Rei: Or maybe it's the start of a fated love story, one that transcends even that of a fan’s admiration.

Rei: It's possible, you know. I heard that the exact same thing had happened in this school before, in the past, when someone sent another a fruit basket.

Rei: The recipient had been the first violinist of the Orchestra Club, and the sender had been a student from a rival school…

Leiji: …

Sousuke: Um… Pre-President Myoga. I apologize for bothering you while you're working.

Sousuke: Regarding the bowing issue you pointed out the other day…

Sousuke: I've practiced really hard, and, um… I think I might have improved…?

Leiji: Oh? Has it improved to a standard that isn't jarring to my ears now?

Sousuke: N-Not at all. Erm… It might actually still be terribly hot garbage…

Sousuke: But I think it has improved a little compared to the last time, at least… So, if possible, could you listen to it…?

Sousuke: (Eek… This is so nerve-wracking! The atmosphere in this room is so intimidatingly frigid, and there's the sweet tang of fruit in the air.)

Sousuke: Wait… What? Come to think of it, what's that delectable smell…?

Sousuke: Whoooa… What a plump peach! I knew that something was different about this room today, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I never thought you'd have a fruit basket in here.

Sousuke: Look at those vibrant mangoes. I bet it'd be delicious when made into mango pudding!

Leiji: …Nanami…

Sei: —There are apples too. The flower language of apples means “temptation” if memory serves right. Quite meaningful, don't you think?

Sousuke: Whoa! Amamiya-san…? S-Since when were you here? I didn't notice your presence at all.

Sei: They do say that sweet scents are capable of befuddling one's senses.

Sei: But, Myoga, I never thought that you'd be one to send her gifts. I'm sure she's overjoyed by them.

Leiji: Don't be ridiculous. She was the one who pawned off useless items to me. I'm simply returning the favor.

Leiji: Being indebted to that woman is unthinkable. That's all there is to it.

Sousuke: …"That woman"? Are you talking about…

Leiji: Nanami, are you here just to gossip? If you want to chat, then please take it elsewhere.

Sousuke: Oh, nono, no! Sorry, erm…

Leiji: I suppose the results of your training aren't half-baked If you have the time to be chit-chatting away here. Let's hear it.

Sousuke: O-Okay. There's a cello in the music room, so let's do it there!

Sei: …How interesting. Love sure is complicated.

Sei: She's the only one capable of throwing you into disarray. Although, I'm sure you're aware of it yourself.

Sei: The flower language of an apple might be “temptation”, but an apple blossom means “preference”...

Sei: Between you and her, I wonder who will end up preferring one or the other in the end?

Random Lookism Thoughts that I Get During Class (part 2):

(I REALLY need to pay attention in class more, I stg. My mind goes crazy when it comes to Lookism-related things, but not actual study topics. 🥲 But here you guys go, I hope you’ll enjoy!)

Mary Kim: She’s definitely a top tier Megan Thee Stallion stan (real hot girl shit 🔥). A fan of all of the bad bitch rappers such as Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Saweetie, BIA, Doja Cat, etc. She would listen to their songs while working out with Vin Jin, and Vin Jin doesn’t even mind at all if she blasts it. (He even admitted to Mary that whoever listens to Megan Thee Stallion are real bad bitches, including himself.)

Jace Park: On days when the Burn Knuckles crew decides to just chill in their meet up place at school, Jace would just play the Jeopardy app on his phone whenever he’s bored. He thinks it’s a fun way to kill time while learning about something new at the same time. (That’s where he gets some of his facts whenever the Burn Knuckles crew asks him to tell them something interesting, especially Vasco. He thinks he’s a mad genius.) Also, whenever Jace gets tired of playing Jeopardy, he’d text Mary Kim if she’d be down to play games on the Game Pigeon.

Yenna Jang: Two words. Coco Melon. Eli Jang would pull up Coco Melon from his phone and would let Yenna watch it while he feeds her food or does their laundry. Sometimes, Eli Jang would let her watch Sailor Moon on his phone or Cardcaptor Sakura and he’d watch it with her when he has free time to himself. (That explains the wand toy thing that Yenna had before Eli ruined it in a fight. R.I.P. Yenna’s toy.) Sometimes, Zack Lee would come by with Mira Kim to visit Yenna since Eli had given him permission to see her. In a way, Zack became a second father-figure AND an uncle to Yenna. (Zack is just waiting for Eli to grant him the title of being Yenna’s godfather in the future.)

Jerry Kwon: I just imagine Jerry making a bunch of origami paper cranes and just gifting them to every member in Big Deal for being loyal to Jake Kim. And he’d even try to make a big paper crane out of parchment paper for Jake, and when Jake receives it, he’ll thank Jerry for the cool gift but he doesn’t know where to put it back in his own house.

Lua Im: She’d definitely be Tik Tok famous for sure. With her great fashion sense, wearing trendy Street Fashion brands such as Stüssy, she would get lots of likes and gain lots of followers on Tik Tok doing fashion hauls and OOTD videos. She would also feature Sinu Han, Jake Kim, Jerry Kwon, and some of the Big Deal members into her Tik Tok videos and would try and make them do a Tik Tok challenge with her. But the one who’s always down to collab with her would be Yeonhui, who’d always visit the Big Deal street with Sinu whenever they drop by. And whenever she sees Johan Seong, she’ll try and get him to do a Tik Tok challenge with her and convince him to make a Tik Tok account. (He secretly did, and they’ve been exchanging memes on Tik Tok ever since. Too bad Zack doesn’t know about this.)

Sinu Han: Sinu would be a Panic! At the Disco fan. (Idk man, it just makes sense to me.) He would totally be into the Alternative rock songs of P!ATD because he’d think they’re badass and his favorite song would be House of Memories, as it always reminds him of his irreplaceable memories that he had with Big Deal. (His 2nd favorite would be Death of a Bachelor, and he’d sing it all sultry-like to Yeonhui while they dance together.)

Ryuhei Kuroda: Ryuhei probably used to watch hentai as a hobby to try to get his 🐉 up or whenever he gets bored but it wouldn’t get the job done so he quit. He would rather wait for Mitsuki to do the job one day, than to watch XXX videos that won’t even satisfy him.

Mitsuki: After Sinu Han left the Workers, she would lock herself in her room everyday and listen to soft indie pop artists and alternative artists. For instance, her most-played artists would probably be NIKI, Joji, Mitski (not intentionally…), The Marías, Marina and the Diamonds, Lana Del Rey, The Neighbourhood, Halsey, etc.

Kenta Megami: Everyday, he doesn’t go through a day without having at least one glass of milk. Not just to strengthen up his body, but to possibly grow in height. He wanted to grow at least a bit more before he gets to fight he-who-shall-not-be-named. (He definitely needs some milk after what ⚪️👹 did to him, ong.)

Eugene: On his free time, he’d probably go to a Country Club and would be seen hanging out with Yoosung and Mandeok playing golf or tennis. Or, you could catch him shopping at a Polo Ralph Lauren store with them accompanying him and with extra body guards who are a part of Workers. (And Samuel Seo used to accompany him on his little errands sometimes, but we all know that won’t happen again anytime soon… 🌊)

Warren Chae: Warren would be the type to make fitness videos on YouTube, always updating on his progress to being healthy. He would also try and get Sally to join him in his live workouts on YouTube, by just having her sit on his back while he does push-ups. (He even asked Sr. Manager Kim one day to check out his YouTube channel. Manager Kim wanted to subscribe to Warren’s channel, so he had to ask his daughter Minji to teach him how YouTube works. Eventually, Manager Kim became his number one subscriber.)

Sally Park: We all have a feeling that she’d be converted from typical shoujo romance fan, to Yaoi/BL fan when she witnessed Eli Jang and Jake Kim accidentally kissed right in front of her. She probably keeps a stack of some BL manga underneath her bed somewhere or reads BL webtoons on her phone. (While babysitting Yenna one day, Yenna somehow crawled underneath her bed and when Sally finally found her, she panicked when Yenna was holding one of her special BL manga so she had to hide them somewhere else.)

DG/James Lee: On his own free time, James would want to relax, especially anywhere where Chairman Choi isn’t around. He would probably fly out of the country and take a short vacation out in Maldives, where he can just swim and lay around eating tropical fruits. (Until he has to come back the next day to his hectic k-pop idol life. I told you it was short lol) Update: I won’t be surprised if he’s a polyglot too (a person who can speak many languages). He isn’t called a “genius” for nothing. I feel like he’d be able to understand and speak in languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Tagalog (Including Bisaya and Illocano), Bahasa Indonesia (Including Javanese), Malay, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, etc. Man’s a legend.

Crystal Choi: As a hobby, she’d definitely go out shopping for new clothes from clothing stores such as Zara, Tiffany&Co, Banana Republic New York, etc. However, she doesn’t mind shopping for expensive brands either. Also, she would probably be a tea enthusiast, as she goes to Teavana at the mall and tries out samples of different teas to bring home. Sometimes whenever she meets up with DG, Gun, Goo, and Kouji, they’d sit around with each other and silently drink on the tea that she’d bring to her office. On days when she’s discussing plans with her father’s business partners for him, once in a while, she would wonder how Daniel Park (og Daniel) is doing and how much he would’ve grown from the last time they met with each other.

Chairman Choi: He seems like the type of businessman who would be good at playing rich-people games, such as chess. As Crystal’s father, he would invite her to play chess with him from time to time and would bring her with him sometimes to his business trips as a way to bond with her. One time, they ended up going to Hawaii together because he had to meet with one of his American business partners for a meeting. Afterwards, he’d find Crystal just chilling on a sunlounger chair out in the beach and he would join her just laying there sipping on their little mimosas while talking about what’s been going on with HNH Group, the 10 Geniuses (Crystal ain’t a snitch), and updates on Daniel Park.
