[Day 18]
Arinael?
*crack*
I immediately hid behind the tree without thinking when I accidentally stepped on a twig while trying to stand up. Why am I hiding? It's just Arinael and Fuza.
I tried to peek but I was afraid to get caught in such a weird position so I crouched down and walked towards the back entrance.

Once I got in the lobby I saw Fuza and decided to casually call out to her.
Minzie: "Hey Fuza heading somewhere?"
Fuza: "Uh yes, I didn't know you were here already Min, I didn't see you in the room"
Minzie: "I was just getting some snacks down here"
Fuza: "Do you need something?"
Minzie: "No, when will you be back? Don't forget our curfew"
Fuza: "Mm, I have to go now, later Min"
She immediately headed out while typing on her tablet.
Minzie: "What's the rush?"
Maybe I should head back to the room.

Once I got back the room I decided to kill off some time by fixing my notes. I started by drafting a timeline for Magical History, highlighted some important terms on Magic Theory and then plotted activities on my journal.
*scribble* *scribble*
Without realizing it I was already drawing random things on my notebook.
Minzie: "Oof"
I checked the wall clock and its already 8:25 pm, still, my roommates are not here, our curfew is 9 pm.
*creak*
Vasi: "Hey Min"
Minzie: "Hi Vasi, I thought I was gonna sleep alone tonight"
Vasi: "The others?"
Minzie: "They had places to go to"
Vasi: "Have you tried contacting them? It's almost time for the curfew"
Minzie: "No"
Vasi: "Alright, I'll message them"
Minzie: "Hey Vasi, I saw Arinael with Fuza earlier, I asked Fuza where she was going but she didn't tell me, do you think they are doing some undercover work?"
Vasi: "Pfft, what do you even mean Min"
Minzie: "Just trying to make sense as to why people didn't invite me to anywhere today"
Vasi: "Aww, was our little Min lonely earlier?"
She went over and hugged me from behind, resting her arms on my shoulder and chin on my head.
Vasi: "Do you wanna have a picnic with the members this weekend?"
Minzie: "No, I can't eat peacefully with all of them around"
Vasi: "Just the two of us then"
Minzie: "Thank you"
Vasi: "You're welcome"
Minzie: "..."
Minzie: "Please let go of me now, I was not gonna cry"
Just as I said that Vasi's tablet lit up and there it indicates that Niira already replied.
Vasi: "Hmm let's see (Hey Vasi, will be heading back to the dorm now, you won't believe what I just caught, will tell the rest of the story later), she said"
I turned around to face Vasi as she was still typing her response to Niira's message.
Minzie: "Did she leave a clue about the story?"
Vasi: "No, what do you think it is? let's try to guess and whoever gets the closest answer will be entitled a free meal from the loser"
Minzie: "Sure"
Vasi: "Hmm, she said she was meeting with her friends right, so maybe something happened to them?"
Minzie: "You mean like the friend she was meeting was actually gay?"
Vasi: "Maybe, but it doesn't seem to fit the 'I caught' scenario"
Minzie: "Why so?"
Vasi: "Because it won't be something caught in the act but the friend revealed it"
Minzie: "Then the guy was dating someone we know?"
Vasi: "Maybe, oh how about the friend was actually Mr. Yi's brother's friend's sister's pet dog thrice removed?"
Minzie: "You need a refund to wherever you are learning your jokes, they're scamming you"
Vasi: "Haha, why do we even assume the friend is male?"
Minzie: "Niira addressed the friend as him"
Vasi: "I see"
Minzie: "..."
Vasi: "..."
Minzie: "Anyway my final bet is that the guy is dating someone we know"
Vasi: "Then mine is the guy is gay"
Minzie: "That was my guess tho... ah never mind"
So we sat down and waited for Niira to come home and reveal the story.
.

[9:02]
The door went open and in came Niira with Fuza behind her.
Vasi: "Welcome back guys, spill the beans, what is it with Niira's friend?"
Niira: "My friend?"
Minzie: "The guy you were meeting today, you said that you caught something"
Niira: "Ahh, no it was Fuza, I caught her red-handed"
We all looked at Fuza's direction whom since earlier had her head down.
Vasi: "What did you catch her red-handed with?"
Niira: "Fuza tell them"
Fuza: "I was-"
Just as Fuza opened her mouth, Niira blurted out the story before her.
Niira: "I caught her with Arinael at the bar, and found out that they were dating"
Minzie: "What?"
Vasi: "Woah"
Fuza's cheeks turned red and she just scratched her head out of embarrassment.
Niira joined me and Vasi on my bed and gave Fuza the knowing look.
Niira: "Won't you tell us all about you and Arinael, Fuza"
Fuza: "Well, we met on the same bar where you caught us earlier Niir, it was 9 months ago and since then we pretty much just hang out together"
Niira: "Uhuh now for the juicy parts, where have you guys gone out for dates? and how far have you gone" *insert lenny face*
Minzie: "I believe this is a tad bit inappropriate"
Niira: "Min you're already of legal age, now where were we Fuza?"
Minzie: "I refuse to be tainted just yet"
I immediately ran out of our room and closed the door, I heard them chuckle so I peeked inside.
Niira: "Don't worry Min, we'll leave this conversation for some other time, I'm beat, Fuza just prepare the narration of your love life for next time"
Fuza: "Haha, you really won't let me off the hook?"
Vasi: "You already know the answer"
They all tucked themselves to bed and I headed to the light switch.
Minzie: "I'm turning off the lights"
Vasi: "Goodnight Min"
Niira: "Night"
Fuza: "Goodnight"
Minzie: "Goodnight everyone"
