[yyds]

Oh. That's normal, though, isn't it?

[coolerjunpei]

that doesn't mean it doesn't suck, but sure, yeah.

i'm just saying, it's cool to tell people things. honestly. the first time.

so are you going for a date, or....?

[yyds]

Hm~ I don't know?
I just want to ask him to come to a gala. I ask him to take walks all the time, but then this gala seems like a big deal? In my household, if you wanted to ask someone to come to a party with you, you have to bring a gift worth at least sixteen million ahn, and you must ask three times. The person has to turn you down three times before they can say yes. But there isn't money here, so I don't know what anything is worth. I also don't know if Yi Sang knows he's supposed to say 'yes' after the third 'no'.
So I wanted to see if you knew a different way to ask someone to come to a party.

[coolerjunpei]

you should have started with all that stuff...

i think you could just ask the 1 time. if he doesn't know about turning you down 3 times then the first answer is "real" enough, right? maybe you could buy him a coffee or something if you want to bring a gift.

[yyds]

Oh, that's a good idea.
So just a coffee is alright? There is nothing else you have to do?
That's very simple...

[coolerjunpei]

that's how it works in movies. i think it'll work. i haven't *actually* tried it but it'd work on me, probably.

[yyds]

Hmmm...
Okay!
Junpei, do you want to come to the gala with me?
I'll get you a coffee!

[coolerjunpei]

[okay, that gets him to laugh out loud. buddy...]

well now i can't say no or i'm a liar. so sure, but aren't you asking your friend?

[yyds]

[ hong lu grins. ]

My friend? Oh, I suppose we are. Don calls us comrades.
I'll ask him too!
Oh, is this one of those things where you can only ask one person?

[coolerjunpei]

no, i guess not. i mean, unless literally walking in the door is the whole appeal. i'm gonna walk in with my "colleague" but we can hang out at the party.

[yyds]

Okay! Then I'll see you there, and I'll also ask Yi Sang.
Then, we can hang out together. I'll find a good, high place for it. Do we need rope?

[coolerjunpei]

wait wait wait

hang out just means we can spend time together. we don't need any rope. or climbing.

[yyds]

Oh...
Time is okay too, I guess. But I was really looking forward to swinging around! I pulled Yi Sang up by my hair in one of those storybooks, but he wouldn't pull me up. I wanted to see how it felt.

[coolerjunpei]

maybe we can find you a swing set...

i can't help you with the hair thing though. my hair's too short.

[yyds]

What's a swing set?

[coolerjunpei]

it's a thing with swings. hang on i'll draw you one.

[Give him a moment...

[yyds]

[ hong lu looks. he is delighted. ]

Ah, that looks terribly fun! There are only two places for us to swing, though, and there are four people...
So we'll need two of those! Where can they be bought? I'll bring one to the gala.

[coolerjunpei]

i don't know, i don't think there are any in the park by city hall. they're kinda big...

can't believe i'm saying this, but maybe bring a rope just in case. and a tire.

[yyds]

Okay~
I'll bring a rope and a tire. You'll show me what they're for when we get there, right?

[coolerjunpei]

yeah, for sure. let me give you a clue.

[Attached: Photo_002.jpg]

[yyds]

Oh, I know what is!
It's for hanging people who've done bad things.

[coolerjunpei]

no, that's a noose. how small do you think the tire is? you sit in the tire and swing.

[yyds]

Ah, right, you'd need a neck for a giant.
That sounds like fun. A tire that will let you swing.
You really do know so many fun things.

[coolerjunpei]

i know some stuff, yeah. it's mostly kid stuff.

[actually... speaking of.....]

do you know what smores are?

[yyds]

Not at all. It sounds mysterious. Is that also something you can swing on?
