It's Saturday morning. Normally, Jugyeong and I would be in school.

Today we decided to skip. Well, she decided that we skip, we were supposed to go after school, but Jugyeong decided that this was better. It's not like we really have to worry. My parents really don't care at this point as long as I graduate since they know that at most I'm getting a high school diploma. Jugyeong's Dad could really care less. He just wants her out of the house in the mornings so he could have his alone time (or time with his wife if she's there) cleaning, writing his book, closing a deal, you know, normal stuff. He also just tends to like his alone time. Being a stay at home dad and making money is the kinda way I wanna live.
"Well, we could become resellers. We'd both be working at home. We can also start investing too while we're at it when cryptocurrency and stocks go down again." And Jugyeong heard that last part.
"You make it sound like we're already getting hitched out of highschool with kids and planning our future together, we've been dating a week and a half." I reply.
"Oh believe me, I'm positive about our future together."
{If y'all weren't already super close before this, I'd call this a red flag and a half. But since y'all are pretty much in love (maybe her more than you are), I see it as a win for you. Take 5 CHM, CSY, and FAT points just to reward you for having at least one thing be nearly guaranteed in your life.}
"What's your ideal number of kids?" I ask her. Just because I just want to see her answer.
"I want 8 kids. Some can be adopted. How about you. "
{That's a basketball team and some backups. Also I sense major deja vu. Remember, octuplets.}
"At least one of each gender. But stop right there. I want to see a mini you and me."
"I'll hope for only boys until the eighth."
"I'll hope for two kids."
"I want child laborers to help us have a humongous resell store. Also I'd have my own little taekwondo team."
"Enough talking about children, we're literally 17."
"Hmph! Well we're at the first store we're gonna shop at."
"First? Victoria's Message?"
"Gotta get new bras."
"Why did you take me to go underwear shopping with you?"
"I wanted to take you to just the next 2 stores, but I grew out of all 7 of my bras."
"Can I stay in the car?"
"You won't get to see me in them then, I'm not gonna send you pictures."
"You said last week that they don't make nice clothes for larger people. Also I don't wanna be in a women's underwear store."
"I'm not large!"
"You're beyond well endowed in some areas. It's amazing, but would you really want your boyfriend with his arteries rushing to the point of a near heart attack?"
"Fine!"
"And I wanted him to pick them for me too! Hmph!" Jugyeong said in her head.
{You just blew a once in a lifetime experience}
"I'm a 17 year old boy, what did you expect? I wouldn't survive in a store like that!" I reply to DPHM.
{It's exactly what I expected, I'm still disappointed you couldn't just be mature about it. -10 CHM, -5 CSE}
"Hey!"
{You're the idiot that didn't go to Victoria's Message with your girlfriend. But instead, you acted super immature. While your reason is justified, you could have handled your refusal better.}
"I know."
{You better go in there and say sorry}
"No."
{DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE IT A MAIN MISSION WITH A BAD PUNISHMENT?}
"What kind of punishment would be that bad that you could come up with to make it fair?"
{Main Mission 11: Apologize For Acting Stupid. Reward for completion: +10 CHM, +5 CSY restored, Skill: "Way with Words" (Makes your arguments and apologizes, and pretty much all your words more effective by me making you remember words). Punishment for Failure: I'll force you to break up with Jugyeong eventually. Denial Punishment: NONE}
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
{I never said it had to be fair. Just do it you DUMB PATHETIC HELPLESS MORON THAT NEEDS PSYCHOTHERAPY}
"That last part hurt."
{DO YOU WANT ME TO HAUNT YOUR DREAMS WITH POP-UPS UNTIL YOU BREAKUP WITH JUGYEONG? THAT SKILL WON'T WORK WITH THIS STRENGTH!}
"Okay I get it."
{Now stop being an idiot.}
I get out of the car and run inside (reluctantly) into Victoria's Message.
"What are you doing here? I thought you didn't want to be in here with me?" Jugyeong said probably the most pissed off she's ever been. She looked really hurt. I was stupid and did act stupid.
I just do one the thing I knew I could do.
I hugged her, and said, "Sorry for being an absolute idiot. I could have handled that better, or just sucked it up and came with you. Instead, I acted like a 12 year old."
"You did act like a 12 year old."
She still looked pissed.
"What can I do to make it up to you?"
"You'll see."
She pulls me next to the changing rooms. She had 7 different bras. She wanted me to see her in each one.
Each time she came out of the room, she looked stunning, even if the bras themselves all looked really ugly.
"So? What do you think of all of them?"
"You did the best with your options. You yourself will always be stunning."
{Take your points back}
"Good."
"Can we get out of here now?"
"Sure. We're going swimsuit shopping next door."
"You really want me to die of a heart attack."
"Oh you're trying some on too."
"But it's not beach weather for another two months!"
"Who cares? LET'S GO!"
"How many more stores?"
"3 just for making me mad earlier."
