I walk over to Bad Blue Jay and I almost got ran over again. I'm getting used to it. I need to skill point grind for a very specific (and obvious) reason. I make it inside and have to get a table since I was the first one there. I text the group that I got a table.
"Hey Hyun, agh man I feel short and rich." Suho came first.
"It's because you are short and rich." I reply.
"Don't remind me."
"You said it first."
Suho and I talked about random stuff like always.
Dowoon came after like 5 minutes.
"Hey Dense and Snakeback." Dowoon says while walking in. He calls us weird nicknames sometimes but he doesn't always say them. It's cringy, but that's kinda how he is.
"Sup Gigamind." Suho replies. Poor Dowoon, he has that 5 finger forehead. That's what Suho calls him anyway. I don't care enough to think up nicknames.
"Hey Dowoon." I say.
We talk about games for a bit and push back our waiter a couple minutes since we always eat together because ain't that the whole point?
About 5 more minutes pass by and Jugyeong walks in all dolled up casually. She sits next to me and grabs my neck with her elbow and noogies me.
"Hey I spent 10 minutes fixing my hair! Hi Jugyeong." I say. While also knowing that she's just grabbing them PDA rays she gets from hugging and holding hands with all her friends to keep guys away from her and to mess with us. It's pretty ingenious honestly. Plays with my feelings at least, and it keeps the h*rny teens away.
"The only people you're trying to impress are those around us. Not much to impress Hyun!" Suho said.
"If only you knew Suho." Dowoon says in his mind.
After that Jugyeong goes and smothers the other two before coming back and sitting next to me.
"The colors of your button up and t shirt should be swapped Hyun." Suho says.
"Blame the big and tall section. Why do ya think I'm on a diet?" I reply.
"Probably the same reasons I ask you to crack my back. Self-consciousness."
"That and also the fact that little people get all the cool clothes."
"It's the same for us women too. But at least guys get good quality. Women's clothes sacrifice quality for choices." Jugyeong brings up.
"That must suck." I tell her.
"It really does."
I stare at her for a bit and she looks a bit different, why is she a little sparkly? Wait the sparkles replaced the floaters. That's weird.
"Is this a bug?" I ask DPHM in my mind.
{No, just deal with it. I did it so you can focus [not really] on eating okay?}
"Fine."
After that the whole group orders.
I get the Keto Burger with a side salad and some Diet Joke.
Jugyeong got the Gouda Burger with fries and a Diet Joke.
Suho got the Sriracha Bacon Burger with Onion Rings and a black iced coffee.
And Dowoon got the Teriyaki Burger with Soup and a Korean Arnold Palmer.
We kind of just talk like always about random stuff.
We eat and piss each other off. After a while I go to the restroom.
When I come back I overhear something that just makes me sad...
"Hey Jugyeong, you've never really told us who you like. Who is it?" Dowoon asks.
"Well... He's my friend, he's handsome, and he has big...thighs..." she replies.
It's definitely Suho. No way it isn't Suho, like it makes sense I guess, man's a model for a reason.
I come back to the group.
"I bet he overheard. He probably thinks it's Suho. I want to see how long it takes for him to realize it's him!" Dowoon says in his mind.
"Ah hell she likes me? Cringe. She's cute, but not my type. Bleh." Suho says in his mind.
I come back and finish eating.
I pay for my side and my drink since Suho's a cheapskate. I leave a tip too, I know what it's like working as a waiter, it's stressful without your tips.
"Alright, thanks Suho! Bye friends!" I say. I go and start walking home. I put on the phone flashlight because it's a bit dark and the floaters came back over the sparkles.
I almost got ran over by a lorry for the 10th time in the past day.
{New Skill Acquired: Lorry Dodger: (Increases chance that you dodge a lorry by 10%)}
Huh, that's a cool new skill. Helps with my passive mission. I wonder how long I can last with these floaters.
I make it home and stare at the ceiling laying on my bed...
"Man, I'm depressed." I say.
{You missed your chance idiot!}
"I didn't have one to begin with."
{You did! You're just a Dumb Hopeless Pathetic Moron that needs some sense talked into!}
"Yeah right, she said HANDSOME."
{Take out the fat and acne and you'd be a snack you idiot!}
"Why didn't you tell me this before?"
{DO YOU WANT TO RAISE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND INTELLIGENCE STATS OR NOT?}
"Fair enough I guess."
Meanwhile in Suho's Perspective...
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT JUGYEONG? BLEH!" he said at home.
"I actually can't believe Jugyeong likes me, what's wrong with her? Yeah I'm handsome, but I'm a jerk! I like keeping the girls away from me! I wanna get rich before I even think about girls. I don't even think I get attracted to anyone period! I just love money and food! I dunno, I feel weird. She's pretty I guess, but still! She's my friend!" he says.
Meanwhile in Jugyeong's perspective...
"I wish Hyun overheard that conversation! Why didn't he hug me back, or compliment my makeup or notice anything! Hmph! He should take the hint!" she said in her mind.
"Well he is (hopefully) temporarily visually impaired." she said.
Meanwhile in Dowoon's perspective...
"That was a literal dumpsterfire of a night. Jugyeong being Jugyeong DOESN'T help her case. She's always holding us or hugging or hitting us. Doesn't help with her making it obvious that she likes Hyun. Especially since she just noogied him while she hugged tightly the rest of us. Especially when she said "handsome" I knew she was screwed. Especially since Hyun walked in! Tomorrow is gonna be AWK-WARD! Hahaha! Man I'm the only one who notices this crap! Man it's funny. I bet Suho thinks she likes him, Hyun too pfffffft!" he said in his mind.
Back to Hyun...
Man this day sucked...
