bulgaria is sulking around after being kicked out of the swimming club. after the drowning incident, serbia was so ashamed of his outburst and felt so guilty that he complied to being homeschooled. bulgaria never saw him again. he just wanted to troll and joke, dammit! he never wanted this. he never wanted serbia to get this mad at him. he never wanted serbia to try drowning him. he never wanted to cause a crime. he never wanted to bully someone into committing a crime. he never wanted his childhood friend to commit a crime against him. he never wanted his childhood friend to feel like a monster. all he wanted to was to have fun. to have everyone around him have fun along with him.
not to mention, he lost his club membership - his ticket to popularity. but this isn't important right now.
and so, he dwells in guilt and shame, blaming himself for things that aren't completely his fault.
'hey nerd!' he hears a familiar voice.
'hi turkey-'
'what's wrong, upset about being kicked out of the swimming club?' turkey asks, ignoring the grave situation that occurred immediately after bulgaria got kicked out of the club.
'i just... really wanted to be a part of a club' bulgaria decides to avoid talking about the drowning attempt and the situation with serbia. he'd rather flee from even thinking about it.
'well, why don't u try joining my club, the cooking club?'
(it's not rlly his club cuz all three members take decisions together, there's no club president and they vote regarding important decisions such as accepting a new member)
a new club could be a way of distracting him from what happened.
'really? thanks, THANKS!'
'chill, I didn't say you're in the club, you have to get accepted first. now, to get accepted in the club, you have to cook the best meals you can. the best of the best. italy, who's pretty decent at cooking, got rejected for being too mediocre (and for overdoing the tomato sauce). don't overdo the yogurt. IF THE ONLY FOOD THAT U PRESENT US IS YOGURT, I'LL PERSONALLY DUMP IT ON UR HEAD. besides, nobody will wait hours for some milk to ferment. so cook something that IS NOT YOGURT. see you in the cooking club room after class!'
