Our Month:Cupid's Promise

Boosie Woosie (I)

The morning sun peaked through the break room's blinds, casting soft patterns on the floor as Jay Woo sat at the table, occasionally sipping his coffee and scrolling on Pinterest. The door then creaked open as Grayson strolled in, catching sight of Jay Woo intently browsing hairstyle options on his phone.

"Thinking about changing things up?" Grayson asked as he began to make his own coffee, but instead of coffee it was just boba balls. The hue was black like Kari's soul and Jay Woo's chocolate skin.

Jay Woo looked up, his afro bouncing slightly.

"Yeah, but I can't decide. There's just so many options." He said, followed by a dramatic ass sigh.

Grayson then smirked cheekily.

"You should get a boosie fade, it's really in right now. Four of my brothers have it." He added, not looking away from the coffee pot.

"Wait, you're black?" Jay said as he looked at Grayson very seriously.

Grayson then raised his head and stared at the wall as he muttered, "This office is full of idiots."

As Jay Woo continued scrolling through Pinterest, he casually lowered his feet from the nearby table. But then, a sudden yelp from someone close by broke the silence, jolting him from his thoughts.

Jay Woo and Grayson looked around trying to find the source of the noise. On the floor, they spotted Kari lying on the carpet beneath Jay's feet.

"What the fuck." Jay remarked as he stared down at Kari curled up in a ball.

"Can one not brood and bask underneath the shadows of others?" Kari tiredly asked followed by a long exasperated sigh.

"Not a single normal person here. What is wrong with this office?" Grayson exclaimed as he finished making his coffee, but no one cared to react to his ranting as per usual. (fuckingloser 🤣)

Kari then lowered his gaze to the ground, nervously tapping his index fingers together as he remained curled up on the floor.

"I think the boosie fade would look good on you Jay..." He said in a low whisper, twiddling his fingers together, his cheeks had a tint of redness for some reason.

Enes, Rim, Omniya, Althea, Ileana, and Dash walked in while discussing an upcoming clothing line when they stopped abruptly upon seeing Jay Woo's feet resting on a blushing Kari. They stared at him with disgust as he stared back with a nervous sweat drop rolling down his forehead.

"It's not what it looks like. I swear on my life." Jay Woo yelled out, his voice cracking and his afro moving frantically.

"Jay, in my office in thirty," Enes ordered, still looking at him with disgust.

"YO? AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL THE WHITE PERSON WHO PUT ME IN THIS SITUATION TO COME IN YOUR OFFICE?" Jay Woo angrily said, his voice still cracking.

"He's clearly the victim here bruh. Poor Kari..I think he's traumatized." Enes said with disappointment heard in his voice.

"He's always traumatized. That fricking emo twink." Omniya added with a mutter, as she stared at Kari with pure hatred in her eyes.

"This is workplace RACISM. I knew you were always jealous of me since birth. It's because I took all the melanin leaving you as an abandoned baby that was probably wrapped up in a leaf by your village people, and then they thought you were demonic because of your lack of melanin, so they sacrificed you to a god. Mayo monkey." Jay passionately said as everyone just stared at him confused.

"Oh, are you browsing hairstyles?" Ileana exclaimed excitedly, oblivious to the tension in the room. Her comment quickly shifted everyone's focus, making them forget what had just happened.
