phone!

Um, ehehe! Wei, it's Taiwan... If anyone heard anything about me _{um, kissing other people and stuff} a week ago, let's just forget about it, okay? I'll forget about whatever you said, too! You probably forgot about it, though, but just in case you remember... Ah, but if it's a good thing, then you can be sure that I'm definitely remembering it! _{[ You can't see it, but she nods. ]} Mm. Yeah!

_{[ oh gaaaasp ]} I forgot! Um, I was wondering... how can you tell if someone's a vampire? I have to know. It's important!

_{[ wait she's not finished ]} Ohhh, wait! I was thinking about this the other day, you know! Mayfield... doesn't have a Chinese restaurant. _{[ says it like it's the most depressing thing ever ]} So I thought, hey! Maybe I should open one up! But I don't have a place where I can set it up. I could use the basement, but Japan keeps all his weird stuff there. _{[ haha weird ]} Ah, but I'd have to worry about where to get the ingredients, too. _Aiya...

action!

<sub>[ She got her clothes back in the mail today! You don't know how happy this makes her.

A Taiwan usually goes out looking like this. But why is she making the extra effort to look good? Why is she in such a good mood? Why is she on her way to Bunker Street? And why does she look so serious when she finally gets there?

She's on a mission... shhhshshhshh only background music now. ]

[ B But sometimes, she also goes out wearing shirts like this. Not necessarily with long sleeves, mind you. I mean, in this weather? That's stupid.

... Why is she kicking the gumball machine outside the grocery... ]</sub>

Eating coins is bad!

<sub>[ Oh. ]

[ C In the afternoon, Taiwan passes by the building of the Zemekis Corps. Offices. She stands there for a while, hands on her hips. Then, she points at the building and shouts, ]</sub>

I'm on to you!

[naicha]

But, but some people said a lot of nice things! Like Japan... _{[ here we go - oh wait ]} Ah, I'm sorry!

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

It's okay.

...Maybe I was telling the truth, but like, we still don't have to do anything, right. I can change my mind. [ brushing some stray leaves off his pants. ]

[naicha]

Wait! _{[ PUTS LEAVES ON HIS PANTS ]} You can't change your mind just like that. A real man never goes back on his word.

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[ GDIT 8I

about to brush them off again, but he hesitates. ] ...You want me to try kissing you?

What if you punch me...

[naicha]

I wanna make sure of something for real! _{[ why does she even have doubts oh he's worried about what ]} Um...

<sub>[ n_n

wait no she's putting on her game face, okay. sits on her hands. see, he's safe now! ]</sub>

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

...Okay then.

[ just kind of sitting there. staring.

not moving any closer yet lmfao. ]

[naicha]

<sub>[ on the other hand, she looks

so serious

so serious don't make fun of her ok ]</sub>

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[ oh god.

slowly leaning closer. ]

...Can you like, maybe relax a bit? That face just makes me paranoid that you're going to headbutt me or something.

[naicha]

_{[ oh god oh man ]}

I can't help it! I'm, _{[ wait fuuu she lowers her voice to a whisper. ]} I'm nervous, okay?

_{[ Her heartbeat and her breathing is so loud it's ridiculous, though. :I It's not like she's in front of Jay Chou or anything gosh. ]}

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[ okay, leaning so far forward their noses are almost touching now. ] ...Just, like, don't tell anyone about this and it'll be fine, 'kay?

[naicha]

_{[ haha that's enough to make taiwan punch him and run away forever. but. she's not going to do that today. she is STRONG. ]}

What if you tell...

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

As if I'm going to. Unless there's another truth thing, but I doubt it.

[naicha]

Oh, I hope not. _{[ waits.................. ]}

1/2

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

Okay... Gonna do it now...

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[ wait why does he have to be the one to initiate gdit

w-well whatever





he's just going to close his eyes and quickly lean in before he has time to change his mind...

ch-chus........... ]

[naicha]

<sub>[ >:| because she said so and hong kong is a big fat woobie who steals her egg tartsdslgjs



wait

she wasn't ready




this whole situation is so awkward. what does she even do?? does she, does she kiss back? okay, she will close her eyes... and... do that...? oh god oh man oh god. she's reluctant because part of her is scared that she might actually like it. the thing is, she kind of does. ... if there's anything that can make this thread less awkward, taiwan wants it to happen now k. ]</sub>

1/2

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[ what are you talking about this isn't awkward at all, it's not as though he's liking this... except just like her, he kind of is...




i-in fact he's kind of kissig her more but maybe he should stop this now before they both die of embarrassment or awkward or something ]

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

[




slowly pulling away ]

...Uh... Yeah, that was weird... So like, we can pretend it didn't happen now, yeah?

[naicha]

<sub>[ it was weird? weird??? oh nooooo

oh nooooooooo she knows what he really means by that, because kisses don't usually take that long, right, because she wouldn't know oh nooo ]</sub>

... Yeah! <sub>[ nods!

ends up hitting his head whoops ]</sub> Ow.

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

...Ow. [ rubbing his forehead. ]

Okay... So like, we're still cool. With each other I mean. Maybe that kiss was a bit longer than like, it should have been but it doesn't matter. Happens all the time, y'know. Whatever.

[naicha]

You don't have to point it out if it's really that normal, though. _{[ but she gives him a small smile ]} Of course we're cool.

<sub>[ are they...

if she laughs it off everything will go away, right? ]</sub> Oh yeah, that was still technically my first, ahaha. _{[ wow taiwan just say all the awkward things!! ]}

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

...Oh, right. Yeah. [ he'd forgotten about that. SO AWKWARD. ]

I hope it was okay. Or good or something then, y'know. [ well at least he thought it was. not that he's ever going to be the one to say that first ever. ]

[naicha]

<sub>[ well she's honest and she doesn't want to make him feel bad SO

she tugs on his sleeve ]</sub>

Don't worry, it was!

[scentofbauhinia.livejournal.com]

...Okay. Cool. [ lmao so awkward right now. ]

I guess I should go get the... Whatever I was going out to get, now. [ dusting his pants off again 8I ]

[naicha]

Yeah! _{[ stands up!! ]} You do that! <sub>Yeah...

[ tries to. walk away now. Wait, she remembers what England told her earlier. He's no cook, but he does have a point! Hong Kong is an idiot. no he had another point OH YEAH you can't run a restaurant alone! Taiwan wants to ask, but she also doesn't want him to help if things are going to be awkward like this all the time, okay. Hmm.

She ends up lingering around the area... haha ]</sub>
