Jujutsu Kaisen : The Hidden Gojo Sister/ MEGUMI FUSHIGURO X OC

Chapter 22 - only the best (filler)

It was the weekend, and after a fun day spent grabbing lunch, watching a movie, and playing arcade games, Megumi, Saori, Yuji, and Nobara strolled along a row of high-end shops in the heart of Tokyo.

Megumi had one arm casually slung across Saori's shoulders, while she sipped on her boba, occasionally bumping against him playfully. Behind them, Yuji and Nobara walked side by side, chattering about their scores in the arcade.

As they passed by the glossy storefronts, something in one of the display windows caught Saori's eye. She slowed down, her gaze locked on a sleek, simple yet stylish jacket that seemed to reflect her understated elegance.

Megumi noticed her slowing down, following her gaze. "Do you want to go check it out?" he asked softly, his eyes attentive to her reaction.

Saori looked up at him, her lips curving into a soft smile. "Sure," she said, shrugging slightly, though the excitement was clear in her sparkling eyes.

The four friends stepped inside the upscale store, immediately greeted by a warm, polished sales assistant. The shop's atmosphere was refined, the air scented lightly with expensive perfume, the racks filled with high-quality clothing that screamed luxury.

Saori wasted no time as she picked out the jacket and headed toward the fitting rooms. Megumi stood near the mirrors, waiting patiently as she tried it on, his expression calm yet subtly watchful, always mindful of her.

Meanwhile, Nobara and Yuji wandered around the store, casually browsing through the racks. The moment Yuji flipped a price tag, though, his jaw dropped. "250,000 yen for a simple shirt?! This better give me superpowers!" he whispered harshly, eyes wide in disbelief.

Nobara snorted, amused but equally shocked. "This place is insane! Who pays that much for a plain shirt?"

They both looked over at Megumi, who stood calmly, arms crossed, unbothered by the exorbitant prices around him.

Nobara raised an eyebrow. "It's scary how unphased you are about these prices, Fushiguro."

Megumi just glanced over at them, a small, knowing smile tugging at the corner of his mouth but said nothing. He was used to this.

Moments later, Saori stepped out of the fitting room, wearing the jacket. It fit her perfectly, exuding a blend of sophistication and subtle rebellion. She looked over at Megumi, raising an eyebrow as if to ask his opinion.

"You look great," Megumi said, his voice steady but genuine, his eyes lingering on her with quiet admiration.

Saori grinned, spinning once in front of the mirror, clearly pleased. "I'll take this jacket," she said, looking back at the sales assistant, "and the shirt and jeans to go with it!"

The sales assistant nodded and led them to the register. After scanning the items, she smiled and said, "That will be 800,000 yen, miss."

Saori was about to pull out her black card without a second thought, but before she could, Megumi gently stopped her, his hand resting lightly on her wrist.

"I'll pay for it," Megumi said, his voice soft yet firm.

Saori blinked, a bit surprised. "That's sweet, but you don't have to," she said, though there was a softness in her gaze that showed she appreciated the gesture.

Megumi met her eyes with quiet certainty. "I know, but I want to."

Without another word, he took out his card and paid for everything, his calm demeanor never faltering.

As they stepped outside into the cool evening air, Yuji and Nobara exchanged glances, their expressions torn between shock and disbelief. Yuji was the first to break the silence. "Dude... that was almost a million yen," he said, his voice incredulous. "Just like that?!"
