Smirk didn't think much of it. He figured code names were usually given by leaders or captains, so it seemed pretty normal to him.
Out of nowhere, Shroom asked, "Where are you guys from?"
"Sunland, out in the suburbs," Smirk blurted out without a second thought.
"Ahem!"
Matt, standing nearby, cleared his throat sharply, clearly annoyed. Seriously? You're just gonna tell them where our base is?
"Stop running your mouth and let's keep moving," Matt said, his tone clipped.
"Oh… got it."
Smirk immediately understood what Matt meant. What's the big deal? he thought to himself. They're our partners now. They're gonna find out sooner or later anyway.
Still, he decided to steer clear of any sensitive topics and switched to something lighter.
"Hey, Shroom, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
