It's a bright sunny Sunday. I'm waiting for my so called 'date' at a nearby café not that far from my apartment.
This café has been opened for the past 14 years. Gentle sunlight shines through the glass windows, meeting the point of another table in front of me. Although it isn't a new restaurant, it sure looks more modern than my surroundings.
Hello. My name is Kunikuzushi but I go by Scaramouche. I am current 24, my 7th year in law school, and hopefully my last. I'm an international student at HKU (University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law) in Pokfulam, Hong Kong, one of the best law universities in Hong Kong.
Luckily for me, I am able to pay off my student debt pretty early on as my family lives in the United States and make a pretty high income so ~HK$480,000+ (~ US$ 30,769+) isn't much of a trouble, which is why I'm able to live more comfortable than most people but it wasn't all this easy. My parents and I never got along, they only offered to help because they always knew I was a pretty intelligent person (4.0 GPA) and got accepted in many universities because of all my academic achievements. Although they were confused why I wanted to be an international student, as it is quite hard as I'm from a Japanese descendent and know basically no form of Chinese, something about Hong Kong just peaked my interest. Plus, Hong Kong uses English pretty frequently and you can see it around the area so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Outside of school I did all kinds of activities. Ever since 5 (typically age to learn music), I've played piano; started violin at age 11, although pretty late, I was able to catch up relatively quickly; I also did archery, track, and swimming as sports; attended many outside and inside of school clubs, constantly looking out for any tournament and contests for my fellow talents in academics, music, sports, etc. when I have the chance.
Anyway enough about me. My friends brought me here to this café on a blind date with a man.
Although I am a male, I can't help but also be attracted to the same gender. Everything seems perfect about me except for my sexuality, which is one of my biggest insecurities, which shouldn't be because I should be proud of my identity but I'm just not as in Japan there are many reasons why I as a person won't be accepted into the community for being gay. It's alright though, I have learned it through the hard way.
Flashback:
"No Raiden I don't want to go!" I screamed on the top of my lungs while getting pushed out of the car by my younger sister.
"Stop being overly dramatic!" She says while pushing me towards the café door. "You'll like him, I promise!"
"That's what you said every single time!" I replied back in the speed of light, "I've been putting up with this behavior for way too long!"
Once we reached the café, Raiden opens the front door. Sweet calming classical music can be heard in the background as the workers there greeted us. "Hello Raiden and Scaramouche!"
My sister politely greets back, acting like she wasn't screaming at the top of her lungs earlier with me.
I did the same, hiding my previous expressions.
"What was with all the screaming outside?" A co-worker laughs lightly.
My face turns a little red, embarrassed from the comment while my sister lets out a bit dramatic sigh then explains to them sarcastically.
Raiden is usually a very quiet and serious little girl but when she gets comfort with someone, it becomes a whole other story.
Raiden's 23 and graduated from Wake Forest University in North Carolina, United States and got a degree in finance after 4 years. She's currently in Hong Kong because she wanted to spend more time with me before "I am off married to someone" according to her.
My sister sits me down at a table telling me to wait for my 'date', telling the waiters to get my order after a specific person arrives and leaves the shop shortly after.
"Have fun Kuni!!"
Present:
"Ive waited here for 7 minutes. Where is this guy?" I mumbled to myself, staring off at my phone's Lock Screen of my monthly schedule back at the seat in front of mine.
Sooner or later i heard the door open, finding a very light haired blonde with a big red strike in his hair tied up into a ponytail walking in with a mask and dressed all professionally.
"Those crimson red eyes.." I thought as my eyes widen with a sense of fear as the two of us made eye contact with one another.
