CHAPTER 25
Sendoh's Apartment. The unfortunate young man would be out of luck. Sendoh is afraid when Mr Rukawa watches him over the webcam. He's sitting on the sofa yet being uncomfortable is the same as squatting. He expected his boyfriend's father to gaze at him, but not with such intensity that a bead of sweat ran down his forehead.
Mr Rukawa: Have you prepared everything we'll need for today's conversation?
Sendoh: Yes, sir.
Sendoh smiles at his father-in-law, but he can't seem to dispel Mr Rukawa's 'interrogation look.' He noticed him putting vodka in his martini glass. He was baffled. Why did his father-in-law invite him to drink? Will he be disappointed to learn that he does not enjoy drinking? Will he be disappointed when he discovers how easy he gets drunk? The older one signaled for him to open a beer. He opened one of the Asahi Super Dry he had purchased. Sendoh moved his beer closer to the camera when Mr Rukawa raised his glass. He sipped his beer while looking at his laptop. He held his breath to avoid tasting and smelling the beer that was now flowing down his throat.
Mr Rukawa: You need to tell me about your first conversation with my wife.
Sendoh was taken aback. When he heard what Mr. Rukawa stated, he almost spewed out the beer in his mouth. He instantly reached for a tissue from his side. That was a day he will never forget. Mrs. Rukawa was watching all of his buttons being removed one by one by Kaede while the microphone and camera on his laptop were turned on. He decided to take some time to unwind. He drank another bottle of beer and sipped it. He took advantage of the chance to think of an explanation for his moaning while Rukawa undressed him. He drank the second can of beer, but his mind remained blank.
Sendoh: What do you mean by what we discussed last time?
Mr Rukawa: My wife forwarded the details of your conversation to me.
He noticed the person on the other end of the line swipe his cellphone. He didn't believe the video call could be recorded. It's humiliating. He had lost all hope. His left palm brushed his slacks, while his right hand pulled the neck of his shirt. His oxygen path is becoming constricted. His room seemed to be shrinking. He is at a loss for what to do. He drank another bottle of Asahi. He drank it recklessly. Mr Rukawa placed his phone near the camera. Sendoh also moved his face closer to the laptop in order to check the image Mr Rukawa wanted to show him.
Sendoh: Hahaha!
When Sendoh viewed the image, he collapsed on the sofa. His mouth was gaping wide as he laughed. His mind is also racing. His body seemed to glide about the room. He can't feel everything in his body anymore.
Mr Rukawa: What's so amusing?
Sendoh: Dad, you scared me! I expected you to show me something frightening. Hahahaha!
Mr Rukawa: Don't call me Dad. You are not my son.
Sendoh: You know, Sir Dad, Kaede is smiling because he is always happy to see me.
Mr Rukawa: Are you intoxicated now?
Sendoh: Sir Dad, I'm not drunk.
What he assumed was a taped video call between him and Mrs Rukawa was what he needed to explain. Mr Rukawa displayed a cropped screenshot of his smiling Kaede. It's good to know that his mother-in-law thought about him.
Mr Rukawa: What did you do to him?
Sendoh: Are you sure you want to know what I did to him?
Mr Rukawa: Mr Sendoh, watch your language.
Sendoh: You know, Sir Dad, when school started, he didn't smile. But now, he is surrounded by individuals who care about him, including me, charming and caring. That's why he's smiling.
Mr Rukawa: Shut up.
Mr Rukawa leaned against the table. He just shook his head at the words of the young man on the other line. He affirmed that his son's lover does not drink alcohol, but he is still unsure about this guy. Sendoh, according to the information he has, is a scholar at Ryonan High. He realized now why he had no objections to his intentions for his son. He noticed no negative information regarding the student or their resident. But he still didn't have complete faith in the young man. He used the impact of drink to persuade Sendoh to reveal the truth.
Mr Rukawa: What are my son's interests? What's the deal with his poor grades?
Sendoh: He is very focused on basketball. He practices on any court, even though they always practice at school. Did you know my baby can sing?
Mr Rukawa: Of course, I know that because I am his father. Don't refer to him as "baby." He is not your son.
Sendoh's body is unbalanced. His eyelids will be severed. His head was cocked as he rested on the sofa. He slurred his words. He quickly lost control of the fourth beer can.
Mr Rukawa: From what I can tell, he doesn't have a bright future if he continues there.
Sendoh: You know, Sir Dad, Kaede is a very kind person. He made a lot of people happy. He rescued a kitten on the overpass. He sang at an empty karaoke bar. He participates in community programs as a volunteer.
He was dissatisfied with the young man on the other end of the line who was constantly drinking beer, but when he learned of his son's activities, it was as if something inside him flipped to lighten his mood. His furious face was replaced by one of curiosity. He still wants to know everything about his son.
Mr Rukawa: What community programs does he participate in?
Sendoh: He helps raise funds for various organizations, such as the elderly home. He doesn't require a spectacular performance. His singing and displaying good looks were sufficient to raise the necessary monies.
Mr Rukawa smiled as the young man spoke. He considers himself to be the proud father of his lovely son.
Sendoh: My baby boy is an excellent example here in Japan. If he stays here, He can save even more kittens who have been abandoned by their families or have fled their homes. He has the potential to keep more businesses open. He will bring happiness and excitement to even more grandmothers. He can assist more people in the community. Don't worry, Sir Dad. While he brings joy to many people, I shall bring joy to him.
Mr Rukawa: Yuck.
Mr Rukawa sat up straight in his chair. He leaned back and straightened his long sleeves' collar. He was pleased of where his only child's charm and voice originated from. He returned his gaze to the guy on the other end of the line, who was about to open a new can of beer.
Mr Rukawa: What do you want from my son?
When he heard the question, he was expecting, Sendoh stopped sipping his beer. He has a lot to say regarding that frequently asked question. However, under the influence of alcohol, he turned to his normal self whenever he drank alcohol.
Sendoh: I have several responses to that question. But that's all I have to say. He changed my life in a moment, and I'll never be the same again. He changed my life in a moment, and it's hard for me to understand. With the touch of his hand, in a moment in time. All my sorrow is gone.
The young man's appearance shocked the older man. Sendoh will undoubtedly collapse with only a few sips of alcohol. He turns out to be a bad companion when he's intoxicated.
Mr Rukawa: We're done. You are free to rest.
Sendoh: Good night, Sir Dad.
Mr Rukawa: Gross.
Mrs Rukawa arrived late. She dashed behind her husband to catch a glimpse of Sendoh. Mr Rukawa rose from his seat and offered it to his wife.
Mrs Rukawa: Hi, Akira! How did you get to know my son?
Sendoh: I met him in a practice game, Mom. He's a fantastic player. He's a snob but he caught my attention. He didn't just get my balls, he got my heart too.
Mr Rukawa: What balls?
Sendoh: Orange ball, duh? Where was I? Oh yeah… What he didn't realize was, he changed my life in a moment, and I'll never be the same again. He changed my life in a moment, and it's hard for me to understand. With the touch of his hand, in a moment in time. All my sorrow is gone.
Mrs Rukawa: Oh my gosh! I love that song!
Sendoh: Really Mom? I know, right!
Mrs Rukawa brought her palm closer to the camera to high-five Sendoh. Mr Rukawa scowled as he anticipated what would come next.
Mr Rukawa: Are you serious this time?
Mrs Rukawa: Oh, please. Give him a chance. He's a lovely young man! We should get together soon, Akira! Looks like we'll get along!
Sendoh: I like you more, Mom!
Mrs Rukawa: Akira, does Kaede remember his father's birthday?
Mr Rukawa's face was tense. He wants to ask his son's boyfriend this question. He leaned on the table and approached the laptop, eager to hear what Sendoh had to say.
Sendoh: You know, Mom, he's planning a surprise for you on Dad's birthday.
Mr Rukawa: Sir.
Sendoh: Okay, Sir Dad. We were supposed to go there next month but he changed his mind. Kaede misses you.
What Sendoh stated moved the couple deeply. It seemed as if something was gripping their chest, almost causing the couple to cry. Mr Rukawa assumed his son had forgotten about his forthcoming birthday. He realized that Sendoh speaks more clearly when he's inebriated.
Mrs Rukawa: Did he actually say that to you?
Sendoh: Of course, Mom. He also wishes to introduce me to you. Because...
Mrs Rukawa and Sendoh: He changed my life in a moment, and I'll never be the same again. He changed my life in a moment, and it's hard for me to understand. With the touch of his hand, in a moment in time. All my sorrow is gone.
Mrs Rukawa raised her hand to the camera once again to give Sendoh a high-five.
Mr Rukawa: Take a rest, son.
Their connection has been disconnected. Sendoh leaned back on the sofa. Even though he was seated and not moving, his vision was whirling. He recalled the lyrics he had told Mr. Rukawa. He sung it off key.
Rukawa's Apartment. Rukawa was sprawled on the bed, his left arm dangling over the edge. He slept off while viewing the lesson on his phone. When he heard the truck's loud exhaust as his phone ringtone, he raised his eyebrows. After a few seconds, he still disregarded it. He softened his arm to reach for the phone near the headboard on the third ring. He answered it without looking at the name of the caller on his screen.
Rukawa: Hello?
Mother: Kaede, Akira is drunk. Can you come and see him?
What he heard seemed to have jolted his two eyes awake. He took a quick look at the name. His mother's name. He sat up immediately on the bed and questioned if he had heard correctly.
Rukawa: What did you say about Akira, Ma?
Mother: He drank a lot. He was on the verge of passing out earlier. Your father spoke to him.
Rukawa hurriedly rose from his bed. He put on his jacket and grabbed his bag. He bolted after closing his door.
Overpass. Rukawa's eyes were like a single line when he viewed Sendoh's video call record that his mother had provided him on his phone. When he was drunk, his latent ability for singing surfaced again. He ran into Fujima as he ascended the overpass.
Fujima: Rukawa!
Rukawa: Hm.
Fujima: Where are you going? Why do you seem to be in a hurry?
Rukawa: I'll go see Akira. He drank the forbidden beverage yet again.
Fujima: Hasegawa will deliver a couple boxes of skincare goods to your school tomorrow.
Rukawa: Sure thing.
Rukawa noticed a recognizable athlete wearing a school jacket not far away. He was standing at the intersection of the overpass.
Rukawa: You can't have a love life if you hide behind an iron pillar.
Fujima: Are you saying something?
Rukawa: Nothing, I'll go.
Fujima: Rukawa, be careful on your trip.
Rukawa dashed towards the station. But then he came to a halt in front of one of the overpass's steel supports. He shifted his gaze to the person to his left. A glimmer in the corner of his eye accompanied his piercing look.
Maki: ssshhh.
Rukawa: Wow.
Maki: I'll talk to him later.
Rukawa: When? When he leaves?
Maki: I'll just gather my courage.
Fujima: Rukawa! What are you doing there?
Maki pushed himself deeper into the metal fence behind which he was hiding. Rukawa looked at Fujima. He shifted his gaze between Maki and Fujima.
Rukawa: I get my courage from steel.
Fujima: Hehehe!
Rukawa's gaze was drawn back to Maki. He glared at him to come out of his hiding place.
Maki: Before you leave, Rukawa, what is Fujima's pastime or interest?
Rukawa: He dislikes playing hide & seek.
Maki: Seriously, what does he like?
Rukawa: Coffee.
Rukawa is back on the road. He grimaced because his time had been pushed back. He also has a romantic life. He needs to get to his singing boyfriend as soon as possible.
Maki stepped off the overpass for a moment to hunt for coffee. He dashed back in a hurry. He hoped Fujima wouldn't leave his seat on the bridge immediately. He discovered a nearby coffee shop. He walked right in and looked at the menu. He folded his arms, recalling that there were several types of coffee. He made contact with Rukawa. He tried calling him several times, but he never answered. He must have fallen asleep again.
He ordered two coffees. He sat on the shop's ledge. If he approached Fujima, he carefully considered what he would say. He didn't believe being in this circumstance would be difficult. He looked up and sighed. He noticed the light bulb. He laughed. The brilliant idea is right in this case. He remembers Rukawa. What did Sendoh do to entice him to date him? He was right. He grabbed the phone right away. He dialed the number of the person who could be of the most assistance to him in this situation.
Maki: Hello?
Sendoh: Who's this?
Maki: Maki. What's the deal with your voice? Are you all right, bro?
Sendoh: Yeah! What made you call?
Maki: I'm curious how you convinced Rukawa to date you. What exactly did you say?
Sendoh: Hahaha! You've asked the right guy. I'm fantastic at this love stuff. If you tell Fujima this, he won't be able to say no to you any longer.
Maki was beaming the entire time he and Sendoh spoke. He was just puzzled as to why he seemed to be slurring his speech. That is no longer relevant. All he had to do was remember every word Sendoh had told him. Rukawa's personality is more complicated than Fujima's. He places his faith in the Captain of Shoyo. His self-assurance is growing stronger. Later, he didn't need to hide behind the iron pillar.
He returned to the overpass after only getting the two coffees he had ordered. Fujima hasn't left yet, which is a good thing. He was standing out on the side, staring into the distance. His beautiful hair was flapping in the breeze. Maki is getting closer all the time. As he looked at the person in front of him, the noise around him was replaced by a peaceful and serene atmosphere within him. The moonlight, surrounded by thousands of stars in the sky, soothed his emotions even more. This is his moment. He had to tell his fellow captain what he had been keeping hidden for so long.
Maki: Fujima.
Fujima: Hello! What are you doing here, dude?
Maki returned his glance to the other person after turning to his right. He recalls every word that Sendoh said. His uneasiness was vanished. If Sendoh could accomplish it, he was confident he could as well.
Maki: How long have we known one other?
Fujima: What? Umm... more than two years.
Maki: Right. For two years and five months, it was unforgettable.
Fujima: Why did you ask?
Maki: I have something to tell you. You changed my life in a moment, and I'll never be the same again. You changed my life in a moment, and it's hard for me to understand. With the touch of your hand, in a moment in time. All my sorrow is gone.
Fujima's lips curled slowly. The line he heard was easily understood by him. Maki, too, smiled. He wasn't mistaken when he asked Sendoh about love. But he was confused as to why Fujima's smile had changed into raucous laughing.
Fujima: Hahaha! That song is familiar to me!
Maki: What? What song?
Fujima: I've heard the song you said.
When Maki remembered that the lyrics he stated was from a song, he felt as if cold water had been dumped on him. What had transpired had saddened him. In front of Fujima, his expected confession transformed into a joke.
Maki: No, it wasn't what I meant. Listen, Fujima. I like... I like... I really like your bangs.
Fujima: Hahaha!
He is devastated by the consequences of his confession, but it seems that something strange in Fujima's laughing pushes him to confess his feelings. Perhaps it's because of her flawless bangs, which seem to dance in the air. Perhaps it's his eyes that twinkle with laughter. His heart was racing. He didn't notice he'd dropped the coffee he was carrying in one hand to brush up against Fujima's side of the head. When he pushed his lips against Shoyo's coach, he seemed to stop time.
Fujima felt his heart pounding in his chest. His eyes remained wide even as his knees buckled. He only paid attention to the silky lips that neared his mouth. Maki's mouth seemed to blast all of his senses. The moment was still a blur to him, but he could feel raw emotion welling up inside him as their lips met. Fujima kept his eyes open, just to make sure it wasn't all in his head. He closed his eyes and gazed at the man who was fixated on his lips. A hand slid to the back of his head, followed by another to his neck. He made no movement. In his heart, he couldn't comprehend why he had let the Kainan captain to kiss him for so long.
Fujima wasn't sure what he was feeling, but with each breath he took, he knew bangs weren't the only thing Maki desired. If anything, it was the delicate yet tempting feel of his lips. He is impressed by Maki's fearlessness. His complete body frame was ensnared in Maki's coiled arms this time. He was already in pain from pressing his lips to his mouth. The space between their faces is closing in on him, making it impossible for him to breathe. He gently patted Maki's chest to allow him to breathe.
Maki regained consciousness after feeling Fujima pat him on the chest. He shifted his body away slowly. He noticed Fujima's flushed cheeks. His hand seemed to fly up and cover his mouth. What made him kiss Fujima without his permission? He laments not saying the magic word before this happened. He took a step back. Embarrassed. He considered saying something to remove the uneasy atmosphere that was building between them, but he was worried by the sight of Fujima's face, now bowed, eyes hidden behind bangs, and unmoving in his position. Perhaps he's upset. Perhaps he'd punch him. Or, even worse, reject him after what he done. It's his fault. He couldn't hold himself back. He still doesn't have any whole words in his head. Maybe he'll just accept the consequences of his action.
Fujima: Maki, I think we should take it easy. You mentioned that you liked my bangs earlier... Huh?
Fujima's gaze roved around the overpass. He just sees passing strangers. He could no longer see Maki. His brows came together. Why is he walking away without saying anything? Why did he kiss without being asked? He didn't think Maki was a weirdo. Fujima stepped off the overpass. Maybe one day he'll ask Maki about his genuine motives, not for kissing, but for leaving him on the overpass.
Sendoh's Apartment. Rukawa panted as he turned the knob on Sendoh's door. He slept so soundly on the train that he had the energy to reach his spiky boyfriend swiftly. When he saw Sendoh laying on the floor next to the empty beer cans, it was as if smoke burst out of his nose. He supported his head and hugged him to help him carry his entire body into the room.
Sendoh: Who are you? Are you a thief? Take everything you want, but not my delectable body.
Rukawa: Yuck.
He was about to change Sendoh's clothes when he felt a hard hand seize his wrist. He prevented him from removing his clothes. Rukawa slapped his intoxicated boyfriend on the forehead.
Sendoh: I told you not to touch anything here except my...
Rukawa: Shut up!
Rukawa moved his face closer to his partner so he could recognize him. Sendoh snatched him into his arms and hugged him tightly. He was also on top of Sendoh. He didn't say no since he wanted it as well.
Sendoh: Yes, that's you. I believed I was being touched by a pervert. Keep doing what you were doing before.
Rukawa: Which one is it?
Sendoh: Touch me.
Rukawa: Gross.
Rukawa recalls that he needs to change his boyfriend's clothes, but Sendoh draws him back to the bed. He didn't say no again since he wanted it too. Hahahaha! While singing, his spiky boyfriend grabs him tightly. His fingertips traced the contours of Rukawa's body.
Sendoh: Itsy bitsy spiders crawled along the branch...
Rukawa: Does it look like a branch to you?!
Sendoh's finger crept down Rukawa's lower torso from his chest. As his boyfriend's fingers reached his monster, he squeezed Sendoh's nipple when he named it branch.
Sendoh: I'm sorry. I'll sing it again. Itsy bitsy spiders crawled along the hotdog...
Rukawa: Idiot.
Sendoh: Come on.
Rukawa: What is it?
Sendoh: You already know that.
Rukawa: Go to sleep!
Sendoh: Please…
Rukawa: You're drunk, but you're thinking is still filthy!
Sendoh: Do you not want it?
Rukawa: Did I say I didn't want to?
Sendoh: What are you still waiting for? Bring the hotdogs out!
Rukawa: There will be no hotdogs released!
Rukawa just shook his head. He refused to take out his jumbo hotdog. He hugged Sendoh and kissed him goodnight. He was relieved to learn that the conversation between his yummy hotdog, er, Sendoh and his parents went well.
Sendoh: Where is the jumbo hotdog?
Rukawa: Go to sleep! All you can think about is a hotdog!
Due to his inebriation, Sendoh fell asleep quickly. Rukawa pulled his cellphone from his pocket and called his parents to let them know he had arrived at Sendoh's flat.
Mother: How are you, Kaede? How is Akira?
Rukawa: He's sound asleep.
Mother: I'm not sure what made your father think of inviting your boyfriend to a drink. But I believe he has your father's approval.
Father: I didn't say anything.
Mother: Akira told us that you planned to visit us for your father's birthday. Why did you change your mind?
Rukawa: You're always fighting with me. hmp.
Mother: We are not upset with you. We both assumed that you were influenced by your buddies, which is why your grades are failing. I'm sorry.
The father and son exchanged glances. They seem to be too shy to speak. Rukawa was sulking while his father wanted to praise him, but he couldn't put it into words.
Father: Kaede, you are stubborn. You always have a frown on your face in front of me and your mother.
Mother: You are starting again, Hon. We have already discussed this.
Rukawa averted his gaze from his cellphone. This is not a new situation to him. But he's content. The most important thing is that he can see and communicate with his parents. On the other end of the connection, Mr. Rukawa held his wife's hand to allow him to finish speaking to their son.
Father: I want you to know that I'm always proud of you, even though we don't always agree on everything.
Rukawa returned his attention to his phone screen. He is certain of what he has heard. He couldn't recall the last time he heard this term from his parents, but he was delighted to hear it from his father again.
Rukawa: Thank you. Ma, Pa, I miss you.
The camera lost focus on his parents' faces as they embraced after hearing their son's words. Mrs. Rukawa sobbed, and her husband clamped his gums within his mouth to keep from crying. They never imagined their adorable son would return to his childhood self.
Mother: Keep in mind that we are very proud of you.
Father: We missed you too, Kaede.
Shoyo. Fujima is preparing the package containing various skin care products that they will bring with them and distribute to three schools in their region. Fujima was beside himself as he wrapped packing tape around the cartons. Last night's unforgettable incident at the overpass was still fresh in his mind. The scene kept replaying in his head. He wasn't aware that he had also taped over the table.
Hanagata: Fujima, do you want us to give them the table as well?
Fujima: What? Nope. Why did you ask?
Hanagata: You also taped up the table. Are you okay?
Fujima turned to face the table. He merely sighed at what he done. He started peeling the tape off the locker room table one by one. It was as though something clicked in his head at that very moment. He was the one in charge of delivering the boxes to Kainan High. It can't be. When they meet, what will he say to Maki? To avoid Maki, he must now change destinations with his two friends.
Fujima: Hasegawa, I'll carry the boxes to Shohoku.
Hasegawa: Why should we change our route?
Hanagata: Let Hasegawa to go to Shohoku. There is a saying," it is better to receive than to give." Mitsui was there. We have a higher chance of receiving more free tickets from them.
Hasegawa: 'It's better to give than to receive.' Who told you that?
Hanagata: Sakuragi.
Fujima: I'll deliver it to Ryonan High School.
Hasegawa: Seeing Sendoh is not a good idea. Do you recall what happened before? You are Maki's friend among the three of us. If you go there yourself, we will get more coupons or gym equipment.
Fujima had no other option. He was without a doubt the man to travel at Kainan High. He also can't avoid Maki for the rest of his life. He will face the captain of the Kainan. He will speak with him to explain the meaning and real intent of what happened between them last night.
Ryonan High. As he headed to the gym, Sendoh's palm shaded the surface of his eyes from the sun's rays. His sensitivity to light and thirst were brought on by his hangover from the night before. Because of the "pain-killers plus kiss on the lips ala Rukawa" he took before leaving, he doesn't have much of a headache or muscle pains. He had a flashback. He got drunk while talking to Rukawa's father last night! What caused this to happen now? How can he have a good relationship with his father-in-law if he was drunk when they talked last night?
He removed his cellphone from his pocket. Rukawa sends him a video with no captions. He dashed inside the gym to see it right away. When he saw himself sitting on the sofa, the skin between his brows wrinkled. This is exactly what happened last night!
"He changed my life in a moment,"
"And I'll never be the same again..."
When he saw his head, which seemed to twist around his neck, his eyes felt like they were going to spit.
Sendoh: What did I do last night?
Blushing and reciting each line of the song as if it were a poem.
"He changed my life in a moment,"
And it's hard for me to understand…"
He punched the air numerous times in response to his embarrassed behavior the night before while speaking with Rukawa's father. Why did he waste the opportunity?
Sendoh: Stop! Leave me alone!
The song's line appeared to repeat itself in his head. He also sees its letters all over the place.
"With the touch of your hand, in a moment of time, all my sorrow is gone..."
Sendoh: I've had enough!
He just sat in the corner of the locker room on the bench. He embraced his backpack. He will not let it come to this! He will beg Mr. Rukawa to speak with him again and apologize for what he has done.
He stood up to put his other belongings in the locker. He didn't go to practice, but he wanted to check in on the team before heading back to his apartment. He recalled Rukawa. His lover stayed at his home. Could Rukawa have done something to his body if he was drunk last night? Oh my gosh.
Sendoh hugged the door of his locker as he reflected. He's back to being "like a virgin touched for the first time." He held his breath. He awoke this morning without any pain. His reservations vanished fast. His baby boy loves him. Rukawa was not going to be able to take advantage of his drunkenness. He excitedly hugged the locker door once again.
Hanagata calls Hikoichi and tells him he will bring some gift boxes from their fans. Kosino, Ueksa, and Hikoichi worked to prepare a box containing various types of hairstyling goods for Hanagata's arrival.
Hikoichi: After practice, I can't wait to put on a facial mask!
Koshino: Fukuda, who are you calling?
Fukuda: Secret.
Ueksa: Sendoh has a hangover. Fukuda was on the phone earlier. Koshino, how about you? Do you have a problem too?
Koshino: Those two are my troubles since they refuse to help us!
When Sendoh heard the cry of their mother hen, Koshino, he hurriedly rose from his seat, and Fukuda hid the cellphone in his pocket.
Hikoichi: I've got a brilliant idea! I'm heading to Shohoku! I'll request free tickets from Sakuragi! Their fans are amazing!
Ueksa: They enjoy parties, that's why they received free tickets.
Sendoh: Fukuda, who were you talking to earlier? Why are you frowning?
Koshino: Fukuda's face had been like way for a long time. Are you still not used to it?
Fukuda: Do you have an issue with my face, Koshino?
Fukuda put together a separate box. He put a lot of hair dye and an electric shaver on it.
Ueksa: Are you going to tint your hair like Sakuragi? Are you planning to shave your head?
Fukuda: No. I only need to pay a bribe.
Ueksa: To whom are you going to give that?
Fukuda: Secret.
Shohoku. Sakuragi's smile widened as he bowed half his body in front of Haruko. She applies a face mask to his face. Ayako was placing a mask on Ryota, and he felt like he was flying on a cloud of exhilaration. The rest of the benchwarmers were likewise busy putting on masks.
Sakuragi: I'm over the moon! Haruko is touching my face because of this!
Ryota: I just caught a close-up of Ayako's face! Her hand is very soft!
Rukawa walked into the gym. He noticed that the people inside were wearing masks. He turned to leave. He assumed the students present belonged to a different club. When he heard Sakuragi's familiar laugh, he came to a halt on his way out of the gym.
Sakuragi: Hahahaha! Rukawa! Can you tell what's on my face?! I'll be more attractive than you after this! You used to beat me just because of your shoes. Hahahahaha!
Rukawa: Why would I use something like that on myself if I'm already attractive?
Sakuragi: You're so cocky!
Rukawa: Heh.
Ryota: Hanamichi, its purpose is to make our face smoother. It can't change the way we look!
Sakuragi: Curly, do you have a problem with me?!
Rukawa walked into the locker room. He gets the rest of his belongings inside. Mitsui was the next to arrive. He arched an eyebrow at their team's hectic pace. He noticed the same skin-care mask of Hasegawa that he had previously seen. He sneered in annoyance.
Mitsui: Ayako, Haruko, keep an eye out for those two thugs. They are supposedly asking for help but will eventually take advantage of you.
Ryota: What did you say?! I'm going to take advantage of Ayako?!
Sakuragi: You know, Michi, if you're extremely envious, put something like this on your face too! Don't you know your boyfriend brought that?
Mitsui became uneasy when he heard the word "boyfriend," and only one person sprang to mind.
Ryota: Mitsui, there's someone in the locker room waiting for you.
Mitsui: Who?
Sakuragi: Stop pretending, Michi! You're not going to fool me! I'm referring to your boyfriend! Everyone knows who your sweetheart is!
Ayako: Ryota, don't move! How can I finish if you don't stop moving?!
Ryota: This is what I really want... This moment will never come to an end. (blushing)
As the two females touched the monkeys' faces, they turned tomato red and swelled.
Haruko: All right! Don't get rid of it just yet, Sakuragi.
Ayako: According to the packaging, you should wear the mask for 10 to 30 minutes.
Sakuragi at Ryota: Yes mam!
Mitsui watches his two monkey mates. Their shirts are tucked into their jogging pants. While the other members are busy reviewing other products, they covertly hide skin care supplies inside their garments. Mitsui couldn't bear the thought of not getting back at Sakuragi for his mocking.
Mitsui: Where are you and Fukuda heading later, Sakuragi?
When the team heard Mitsui's words, all eyes turned to Sakuragi.
Ryota: What?! Are you and Fukuda planning a date? Fukuda's taste is awful.
Sakuragi: Come on, Toothless! Curly! It's natural for an ordinary person to seek assistance from a Genius like myself! Hahahahaha!
Mitsui: What assistance? Is he going to ask you for help to make him happy?!
Ryota: Hahaha! Wasn't Haruko your crush? I had no idea you had changed your outlook on life! Hahahaha!
Sakuragi: What you're saying is false! Haruko is the only one I care about!
Sakuragi turned around. Haruko's face was expressionless as she listened to their discourse. If When Haruko becomes jealous, his world seems to fall apart.
Sakuragi: I don't care what other people think. Haruko is the only person who matters to me.
Sakuragi's spirit began to fly. He found himself kneeling on the beach in front of Haruko, the waves crashing in the backdrop.
Haruko: I know you love Fukuda a lot, Sakuragi. I wish you happiness. I wish you have a big family.
Sakuragi: No, Haruko! You do not understand!
Ryota was poking Sakuragi's ear when he realized he was startled into nothingness.
Ryota: Don't worry, Hanamichi. Haruko would never be jealous. You wish!
Sakuragi: What did you say, Curly?! Is Ayako paying attention to you?!
Ryota: Why are you mad at me?
Sakuragi and Ryota made an eye contact. They recalled who started this fight. They both turned to look at Mitsui.
Mitsui: What's the matter with you two?! Why are you staring at me like that?!
Something flashed in the corners of the two monkeys' eyes. They shared a grin. Mitsui was brought inside the locker room. They had it locked up so he couldn't get out.
Mitsui: Morons! What are you up to?!
Hasegawa: Michi?
When he heard Hasegawa's soothing voice, his flaming flesh with rage against the two buddies faded. His body slowly turned onto its back. It is real. The Shoyo player with spiky hair was in the locker room with him, holding a box just for him, especially for him, just for him! Oh, yeah.
Mitsui: How long have you been here?
Hasegawa: I just got here. Umm... for you
Mitsui moved his arms slowly towards Hasegawa's hand. This box is nothing like the one given to his team. With just the gift wrapper and ribbon, this box appears to have received tender, loving care and a kiss. Their hands are in contact. In the locker area, they seem to hear seductive sounds. Their grip on the box is still firm. Their pupils dilate as they stare. Their feet took a stride forward.
Mitsui: Writer, can't we speed things up?
OK! Mitsui grabbed Hasegawa's jaw with both hands, bringing their faces together. Mitsui played with his lips as if waving as Hasegawa opened his mouth. His face was flushed with glee. Hasegawa bent his head, ready to surrender himself to the man he had always admired. Mitsui's knuckled fingers crept down to the hem of the man he was kissing. He was insane when he placed his hand inside the other shirt. He massaged the muscle that tingled Hasegawa. Mitsui drew his body closer to Hasegawa, pressing on his chest, his strong hands caressing his back while his callus fingers rubbed his spine. Their lips parted just before Mitsui pulled the spiky head back into him, claiming his mouth once again, hot and relentless. Mitsui's body pushed Hasegawa's body against the locker, causing it to rattle.
Meanwhile... Sakuragi and Ryota hid a lot of goods inside their shirts. They took the majority of the skin care mask not for their skin, but to give Ayako and Haruko an excuse to touch their faces. They crept into the locker area and stuffed everything into their bag.
When they observed the heated sight in the locker room right after opening the door, their mouths almost dropped to the floor. Hasegawa was leaning against the locker, kissing Mitsui, and their sinful fingers were gliding over their flesh. Mitsui seemed to relish what should have been a prank on him. Ryota covered Sakuragi's mouth and dragged him out of the locker room. They sat on the floor, resting against the door.
Ayako: Boys! Excuse me, I'll just fetch my cellphone from my locker.
When they saw Ayako, the two monkeys jumped to their feet. They stopped her from entering right away.
Ryota: Ayako, just pick up your phone later.
Sakuragi: Our locker room is dirty! There are many ants!
Ayako: What's going on inside your head? Freshmen just finished cleaning there.
Sakuragi: Ayako, Haruko is calling!
Ayako: Huh?
They were able to prevent Ayako from entering the locker room, but their uneasiness remained. The bench warmers formed a line in front of them. The two monkeys are puzzled as to why their garments are bulging.
Yasuda: Ryota, Sakuragi, why are you blocking the door? Is there something wrong?
Ryota: Before we let you in, we need to examine your body. Why did your stomach and pocket suddenly expand?
Kakuta: Sakuragi, you took every skin-care mask in the box. That's why we didn't catch anything.
Sakuragi: Why are you accusing us?! Do you have evidence?!
Kakuta: I see from your white shirts some skin care masks are all over your and Ryota's clothes.
The two exchanged glances. They were unaware that the product's name was clearly exposed on their clothing. They remembered Mitsui. They need to keep their members out of the locker room.
Ryota: Hahaha! Just enter the locker room later!
Shuzaki: I'm sorry, Ryota! I don't want to miss my date.
Sakuragi: Are you making Curly and I look like we're single?!
Shuzaki: I never said anything like that.
Yasuda: I'm sorry, Sakuragi. I really need to get home and rest.
Kakuta: Yeah, me too! I might not be able to catch up on my Netflix viewing.
The two monkeys feel terrible for the benchwarmers. Shuzaki has a date. Kakuta is going to watch Netflix. Yasuda sneezed. Sneezing? The two monkeys had a brilliant idea.
Ryota: Don't go in! Mitsui's condition is extremely risky!
Sakuragi: He's infected with a virus!
Bench warmers: WAAAAAHHHHH!
Members of their team bolted from the gym. Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, the two players' lips parted when they heard shouting outside the locker room. They avoided each other's gaze. Mitsui took up the package that had fallen to the ground. Hasegawa repositioned his bag on his shoulder.
Hasegawa: Michi, I'm leaving.
Mitsui: Okay. Thank you for the ki... package.
Hasegawa couldn't help but smile as he turned away. He is still reeling from what happened just now. He opened the door to find two monkeys standing just in front of him.
Sakuragi: Hasegawa, did you really just bring the package here?
Ryota: Hanamichi, he just brought here a box—a box and a kiss. Hahahaha!
The two monkeys laughed as they watched Hasegawa exit the gym. They fixed their gaze on the locker door. They were waiting for Mitsui to appear.
Mitsui removed his remaining stuff from the locker. He was confused as to why the alluring sound in his head had continued to play. He took a walk around the locker. He was astonished to see that they were not alone in the room. It's Rukawa. He was seated in a corner of the floor, holding a phone. If this is the case, they do have a real background music.
Mitsui: Rukawa? How long have you been sitting there?
Rukawa: Quite some time ago.
Mitsui: How come I didn't notice you sooner?!
Rukawa: I'm not interested in watching you guys.
Mitsui: Stop playing your sounds!
Rukawa: Why don't you say thank you?
Mitsui: Gosh! I'm sorry. We had no idea you were here.
Rukawa: Is that the only reason you're apologizing right away? Weak.
Mitsui: What exactly did you say?! You're so cocky!
Rukawa just sneered. Because Sendoh had reached several dimensions, what he had seen previously was not particularly shocking. Mitsui followed Rukawa out of the locker room. Rukawa could already sense the two monkeys ready to taunt their shooting guard, so he joined them.
Ryota: Mitsui enters the locker room—he presses the opponent's back against the locker—he prevents the opponent's movement—intentional foul!
Sakuragi: Michi's hand enters his opponent's shirt—devour him—seals him within his body— three points!
Sakuragi and Ryota glanced at Rukawa after shouting the taunt like a sports commentator, eager to see what he would add to their taunt. Mitsui, who was irritated, was also staring at him.
Rukawa: Weak.
Mitsui: You guys are definitely going overboard! Goofballs!
Sakuragi: Michi! You have no right to argue with the announcer! That's foul!
Ryota: Michi likes the opponent—he denies the opponent's attack—technical foul!
The three players dashed out of the gym to escape Mitsui's bump! Hahahaha!
Kainan. When he and Fukuda met at the Kainan station, Sakuragi snorted. Fukuda's eyes narrowed, and Sakuragi frowned.
Sakuragi: Did you bring what we talked about?
Fukuda: Yes.
Fukuda reached for the box he was carrying. One of them is for Sakuragi. One is for Haruko. Sakuragi's eyes sparkled. He grabbed it and automatically put it in his bag out of delight.
Fukuda: I put a lot of hair dye in your box. I still have some stashed away in my locker. You can color the hair of your entire clan with the quantity I gave you.
Sakuragi: Hahahaha! It seems that you are in desperate need of my help! What exactly did you get Haruko?
Fukuda: It's a girl thing, duh?!
Sakuragi: Hahahaha! Excellent! We'll get along just fine if you're always like that! What exactly are you going to make me do?
Fukuda's narrow eyes widened and widened. He looked around. He had identified the target. Kyota. He needs Sakuragi's help to keep Kyota away. When the operation is over, Jin will be alone with him.
Sakuragi: Kyota?! Why him?!
Fukuda: All you have to do is get him away from us. Get away from here. That place from which you can never return.
Sakuragi: What did you just say, Fukuda!?
Fukuda: If you don't mind doing me a favor, return all the boxes I gave you.
Sakuragi: I'll handle it.
They were each on their way to their target location. Fukuda and Jin will meet. Kiyota will be dragged by Sakuragi from behind. The redhead quickly caught Kainan's number 10. He couldn't bear the strength of Sakuragi's body as he pulled him to the other corner.
Jin had a peek around. His teammate vanished without a trace. He dialed his number, but he did not answer. Fukuda took advantage of the situation. Finally, he and Crush were alone together. To look fresh, he took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face.
Fukuda: Hello, Jin.
Fukuda's dashing greeting. He paid close attention to Sendoh's movements. He believed that it might be effective for Jin.
Jin: Fukuda, are we planning to meet today?
Fukuda: Can't we meet even if we haven't discussed anything?
Fukuda gets three points! He also handed Jin a package, which was wrapped in a purple wrapper with ribbon and kissed by Fuku's thick lips.
Fukuda: This is for you.
Jin: What exactly is it? My birthday is still months away but thank you.
Fukuda: Can you only give a present on a birthday?
Curly of Ryonan gets another three points! He witnessed both the sweetness and bitterness of his friend Sendoh. He will follow this guide to success!
Kyota was irritated at the other corner because Sakuragi had pulled him. He just wraps his arms around him and clearly won't let him go.
Kyota: What are you up to, monkey? Are you a kidnapper?
Sakuragi: What kidnapper?! You're no longer a kid! You have no right to call yourself a kid!
Kyota: Dude! The kidnapper is not only for kids!
Sakuragi: Don't be so loud! You should be joyful because the genius wants you. You must accompany me wherever I go.
Kyota: Why should I accompany you?! I'd rather travel with Conan than you.
Sakuragi: Conan? Where is he?
Kyota: He's on the other side of the street! Conan, the little boy! Conan, the young detective, has solved numerous cases! He truly is a genius! Not you!
Sakuragi did not follow Kyota as he crossed the other road.
Sakuragi: Go ahead! Go with him! Everywhere Conan goes, someone is DYING!
Kyota came to a halt in the midst of the pedestrian lane. When they heard Sakuragi, everyone turned to Conan. They both yelled in terror at the same time.
Civilians scream, "WAAAAAHHHHH!"
Kyota jogged alongside Sakuragi. He recognized that Shohoku's red monkey was right.
Kyota: yeah! Someone dies where he is in every of his episodes.
Sakuragi: Why do you think so? Maybe, he has a lot of skin on his ass.
Kyota: Possibly. Take a look at yourself. Do you have unlucky skin on your butt?
Somewhere down the road. Fukuda and Jin were simply walking along the street. He prepared for the opportunity to meet his crush alone, but he couldn't decide where he should take him. Following last night's rain, there is water on the side of the road. Fukuda moved to the roadside so Crush wouldn't get soiled and get run over by the car's tire.
Jin: What exactly did you come here for?
Fukuda: You.
Fukuda was ashamed to use that word. His voice became weak and a little weepy. He was still pondering where he would invite him. He became aware of the couple on the other side of the road. The man wears an umbrella to shield his lady from passing vehicles. He hoped he remembered to bring an umbrella. Jin isn't particularly chatty, although he speaks more consistently than Rukawa. He needed to find a decent place to confess, hold his hand, and kiss his cheek like 'Sendoh and Rukawa days.'
He spotted the second pair of lovers on the other side of the road once again. The man hugged his girlfriend to keep her clean. He has come up with a brilliant idea! They had to stand near a body of water so he could hug Jin. Oh, yeah.
Fukuda: Let's go there, Jin.
Jin: What? Where are we actually going?
Fukuda: Just trust me.
Curly quietly grinned. He could not wait to embrace Jin. He only needed to wait for a car to pass by where they were standing. It's been a few moments, but no car has arrived. He turned to face Jin. He began to look at him from the brow down to the nose. His features are really kind. When he saw the lips, he thought he heard Sendoh's voice. "Kiss him right now," his friend said, but Fuku shook his head. He didn't want to impose himself on Jin.
Fukuda was so focused on Jin that he missed the car approaching in front of them. Jin gripped Fukuda's shoulder, allowing them to swap places. It happened really quickly. He held Jin while he got drenched from a tire splash. He awoke from his dream at that precise moment. Their bodies are in contact. They are clutching each other. Their faces are only a few centimeters apart.
Fukuda's doubt was shattered as a result of their stance. He ceased breathing. He placed his lips to the man of his affection. As he deepened the kiss, he felt a slight thrill of pleasure. He giggled as he heard Jin's half-grunt, half-moan. The flood of sensations racing through his body was out of this world.
Jin strengthened his grip on Fukuda. As he was pushed into the streetlight, he felt his back lean. They no longer have any distance between them. He had put his entire trust in this man. He experiences a range of emotions. His chest felt as though it were swelled and about to burst.
The event that compelled them to express their emotions is also the cause of their lips parting. An enormous car drove past and threw a lot of water upon them. Their bodies have split apart. They exchanged glances. They 're just waiting to hear who will talk first.
Kyota: Jin! Hanamichi kidnapped me!
Sakuragi: Monkey, shut up!
Kyota: Maki called. We need to get back to the gym.
Jin returned his focus from Kyota to Fukuda. Both monkeys made eye contact with one another. They couldn't figure out why the two people in front of them were so serious.
Jin: I'm sorry, Fukuda. I had to leave.
Fukuda: Yeah, I know. You're always the one who leaves first.
Fukuda moved towards Sakuragi, his nostrils flaring in annoyance. Kyota took Jin's place. He handed him a towel to wipe the wetness off his hair.
Kyota: Jin, Captain said let's go back to school now. A visitor is on the way.
Jin: I'm sorry, Fukuda. I'm needed by the team.
Fukuda: You're always on the go.
Jin: I will make up for all the time we lost.
Fukuda: You've said it before. How much longer will I put up with your spare time?
Jin was rendered speechless. As he watched Fukuda walk away from them, he was filled with sadness. He wishes to atone for Ryonan's Curly, but the odds are continually stacked against him. His team needs him.
Fukuda, as expected, was let down. Jin is constantly with Kyota whenever they meet, and he leaves quickly if Maki calls. He expected to enjoy alone moments with Jin, but he soon realized that Jin's teammates were not the issue.
As he walks towards the train station, Sakuragi just observes Fukuda. The skin between his eyes twitched in annoyance while his lips trembled to hold back his emotion. Sakuragi had already guessed why he had been invited at Kainan.
Sakuragi: Do you like Jin?
Fukuda: What do you care?
Sakuragi: You guys on Ryonan have a thing for silent, ghostly skin tones.
Fukuda: Team Shohoku, you like attractive girls, yet you're still neglected.
Sakuragi: What?! Who said that to you?!
Fukuda: Hikoichi, duh?!
In front of them, a car was coming. Fukuda was still upset, so he took a rock from the ground. He raised his arm, holding the stone, as the car neared. He gave the "if you don't stop, I'll hit your car with a rock" stare. Fukuda's approach worked. The car came to a stop and let them to cross the muddy road.
Sakuragi decided not to tease Fukuda at all. He chuckled discovering amusing things to his companion. When he gets sad, his face becomes sour. Sakuragi snatched a free ticket that he was supposed to give to Mito and his friends. Before they boarded the train, he gave it to Fukuda instead.
Fukuda: What is it for?
Sakuragi: I understand how you feel. You need it.
Sakuragi tapped him on the shoulder. When he read the name on the free ticket, his nose became wider.
"Birdie Birdie Chip Chip Bar"
Rukawa's Apartment. Sendoh arrived at the flat first. He is worried as to why his Baby Boy arrived late. He walked inside the room. He looked for jeans that were too tight for him and clothing that was tough to remove. Why was he concerned about what he wore? He was still thinking about what transpired during their last Boink session. He will not allow that to happen again. He is the Ryonan basketball team's captain. He is the more senior of the two. He ought to be at the top. He's not going to let this episode end without some hotdog action.
He stripped naked and wrapped a towel around his waist. He was startled to see Rukawa before he could turn the restroom doorknob. He has just been showered. He doesn't understand why his eyes is pulled to the nips.
Sendoh: I'm not going to kiss that anymore. Because of it, I'm doomed!
He will stand by his words. He is a one-word man. He can withstand any challenge, his heart is strong, and his...
Rukawa: Take a seat on the bed.
Rukawa's four words and wink softened everything hard within him.
Sendoh: Sure.
Rukawa snatched the towel from his boyfriend's hip and tossed it to the floor. Sendoh sat on the bed's edge. Rukawa's eyes had a peculiar look to them that was just irresistible. He knelt, roughly separating two thighs in front of him. Sendoh was ashamed by how they now seemed. Rukawa started sucking fervently. He clutches the abs and rubs the tip of his boyfriend's nipple with one hand while toying with the ball of his lips, sucking, and sliding his tongue on the left and right sides of the beast with a seductive look.
The toying of the tip of the head finished with a full slurp, with air hissing out the side of the mouth with each slurp. Sendoh noticed the boyfriend's throat boiling as he drowned it in his hot, moist lips and pressed it against the end of his throat. Rukawa could feel the beast pulsating between his lips, growing and stiffening with each magnificent thing his mouth performed. As the seconds ticked by, the beast was licked all over. As the hand glides up and down, twisting and spinning as the strong grip of the base strokes, the tongue continually circles around the head. The slow penetration quickened, the flavor at the end absorbed full, and the moan with each stroke turned into a scream.
Sendoh was engulfed by insanity in less than a minute and collapsed on the bed. Rukawa rose from his knees, creeping over the other man's torso. He raised the enormous beast and pushed it firmly into his mouth. Sendoh's orgasm has burst forth, splashing and pouring in his labored breathing. No nectar was wasted. It remained inside Rukawa's mouth, sucking until there was nothing left. He shifted his eyes to his lover. He seized the knees with his hands and pulled them apart. He had been holding back for quite some time. He kissed Sendoh's lips tenderly. He didn't take his eyes away from him as his monster entered within his boyfriend.
Rukawa shivered within, moving slowly to prolong the moment. He began to move gently, like a fire gradually fueled by embers, lit by their passion. He was buried in Sendoh's hot, wet, and cramped hole, sliding, slurping, and wiggling himself insane. As he shakes the other drenched body, he can hear the enticing growl as his spiky lover desperately calls out his name. As he pressed the lip of his lover's mouth, he could feel the short nails scratching his back. As his hot juices spilled out, Rukawa's voice broke into moans. The agonizing heat spilled out all at once.
Each drop of seed brought him to another dimension, with flying butterflies and fireflies, and unicorns slipping through the rainbow arch - a place only two of them could reach. Rukawa kissed his beloved's swollen, bruised lips just before passing out in bed.
Sendoh: Babe, how does it taste?
Rukawa: Pervert juice flavor.
Sendoh: Oi! That's how you react after you touch me, taste my body, and swallow me whole? You're unbelievable!
Rukawa: Yuck.
Sendoh: Why are you so pumped up right now?
Rukawa: Because... you change my life in a moment, and I'll never be the same again.
Sendoh instantly covered his ears with his hands. His memories are returning to him. He got inebriated and recited the song's phrase to Mr Rukawa like a poem. He watches the song's lyrics creeping on the wall. He couldn't bear it any longer.
Rukawa: I know you and my father had a conversation.
Sendoh: I'm sorry, Babe. I didn't intend to be drunk. I just don't like drinking. I'll talk to him again.
Rukawa: No need. My mother is delighted with you.
Sendoh: Are you sure? What does your father think of me?
Rukawa pulled out his phone. He swiped forward on the recorded video of Sendoh's last conversation with his parents.
Mr Rukawa: Take a rest, son.
Sendoh jumped out of bed as soon as he could. He leaped for joy! His hand appears to be holding a guitar, and he beats his head while pretending to play a guitar. Rukawa's expression is bored. He also got out and pulled his boyfriend to the bed. He put the blanket around their bodies before encircling Sendoh with his arms and thighs.
Sendoh: Can you tell me what you ate that made you so sweet today?
Rukawa: Hotdog.
Sendoh: No, seriously. Did I do something good? warm? huge? yummy?
Rukawa: We'll start reviewing tomorrow. We're doing a group study. I won't be able to visit you at your flat in the coming days.
Sendoh: Alright. If studying in a group is referred to as group study, what is the term for studying with your boyfriend?
Rukawa: Hmm… f****** study?
Sendoh: Hahaha! Nooooooo! If you study with me, it's referred to as "gorgeous—boyfriends'—study."
Rukawa: Yuck.
