My Innocent Roommate

Karaoke

There is a list of things I'm bad at and singing is definitely #1.
Of course, singing is also #1 on the list of things I do a lot.
No one has ever heard me sing before...except Juno.
And when I heard him sing, he sounded so lovely, so ravishing...so heavenly.

And then there's me, who sounded like a dying whale just begging for water.
That's why whenever Juno wasn't home, I would sing to myself in peace...
that is until the neighbor who lived beneath me beats his broomstick against the ceiling, trying to get me to keep the noise down.
I always thought that no one would ever hear me sing...that is until Juno had the idea of taking me to karaoke, along with Val, Kou and Mr. Vito, who really needed to get out of the apartment.
And so there we were, startled by Mr. Vito's booming voice that echoed through the karaoke room, screaming random lyrics that he had made up himself as he kept taking a swing from his bottle of whiskey.

"STEPHANO YOU JERRRRRRK! HOW DARE YOU DEFY MEEEEE!
YOU ARE SUCH A DUMB B****!
THANKS FOR RUINING MY LIIIIIIFE!"
ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

"A-Ah, Mr. Vito sounds really...interesting."
(^^ゞ

Juno compliments as he nervously giggles. I nervously laugh as I tried not making eye contact with the angry old man.

"Yep...who knows, he might be the next star of Aggretsuko..."
(^^;)

"Okay, someone should stop
him before he goes even more berserk...it looks like he's about to smash the table with his bare hands like the Hulk."
(ーー;)

Kou remarked as he folds his arms, his legs slightly shaking from fear as he stared at Mr. Vito with worry in his eyes. Me and Juno nod to each other before carefully approaching Mr. Vito and as he was about to sing his next verse, I snatched the microphone out of his hand, along with his bottle of alcohol.

"Okay okay, that was amazing singing there, Mr. V! You gotta teach me it someday!"
(*^^*)

"Y-Yeah! I like how you put your heart and feelings into it!"
(^^ゞ

Juno added as he pats his back, nervously smiling at him. Mr. Vito burps before smirking.

"Thanks...it helps me manage my anger a lot~"
(￣ω￣)

"And I thought Pyramid Head had more anger issues..."
(￢ε￢　)

Kou mutters to himself as he helps Mr. Vito wobble back to his seat. I then clap my hands together, getting everyone's attention.

"Okay! Who's next?"
(*^^*)

"Why don't you sing, Mackenzie? Me, Kou and Mr. Vito already gotten a turn! I think you should go next~"
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Val offered as she then smirks, folding her arms as she leans back on the couch. I give her a dirty look while Kou and Juno were dealing with a very drunk Mr. Vito, who was now singing the Korean alphabet backwards.
