"my gay friends, guess what? i had to dissect a fucking frog for our biology lab practical exam earlier."
"then out of the three of us, only ruka and i did all the fucking work. asa just stayed there beside me, freaking out and being a total baby about it. IT WAS SO FUCKING ANNOYING." i'm pretty sure my face is all red now, cuz all the angry feelings are still fresh.
"and to think that you've always been so afraid of frogs, but managed to suck it up." hyunjin says, rolling his eyes before making a disgusted look on his face.
i really like having hyunjin around here with us. he's the new member of my baby gays community. seungmin brought him up after we started talking about getting a social media manager, since he's one of the biggest booktok contributors out there.
i've actually seen him come here and there to grab some new reads. apparently seungmin and him go way back. actually, if i were to group hyunjin, seungmin, and jeongin together, they'd look like kpop idols.
"urghshehjshs she really showed such bad attitude earlier, like- why? that was for our fucking grade." i said, suddenly feeling a bit weak in the head. though i'm still so mad about it, i can't help but feel a bit tired of having to deal with asa sometimes.
"fuckkkk i suddenly remembered how she looked at me after i asked her to clean out the same plastic container we used for the frog ..." AHRGEHEHGSHAGS I'M STILL SO ANGRY ABOUT IT IAHDOAJSOAJAJ
"the audacity of that girl- what the heck?" seungmin's making an annoyed face now, probably imagining how he would react to that happening if he were in my shoes earlier.
"i'm actually very disappointed that you decided not to throw that darn frog on her face!" jeongin adds. i couldn't help but start laughing with him while high-fiving to that.
"trust me, i was so darn tempted."

"have you seen this?" rami asked, putting her phone in front of my face. she really encouraged me to call her rami instead, after we've gotten closer as friends.
"jake from your flower shop is viral on tiktok! people have been losing it over his flower arrangements and his ... you know, face!" she says as she starts scrolling over tiktoks with the #flowerboy on them. okay, what the fuck? i squint at the screen, and then lo and behold, there's jake.
"he looks like he just stepped out of a romance novel—charming smile, and messy hair." she says, just as i saw how hyped up he is right now.
next thing i know, more customers start coming in, not to buy flowers, but to ask what time "flower boy jake" will be working.
seriously? this is kinda getting out of hand.
"hey ..." jake starts cautiously.
"i just heard about the tiktok thing from aunt elvy. has it been causing any problems?" i try to sound nonchalant, but that's just me making a fool of myself.
also—did he just refer my mom as his aunt? definitely getting too comfortable around here me thinks.
"problems? nah, just trying to figure out how to compete with your people-attracting wizardry." i say, forcing a smile that feels more like me gritting my teeth together.
to my surprise, he just laughed.
"just so you know, a customer asked if i could arrange her a bouquet with 'extra australian charm'? like- do i sprinkle some blood of mine on the roses or something?" he asked, clearly astonished by the entire thing.
