Joey stepped back in thought, Sachi- his friend, trying on a pink and white polka dot dress in a shopping mall. "Well? What do ya think? Does it make me look fat...?"
"No no no- it looks fine! But I can't tell you if it looks bad if I don't care what I wear." he muttered, motioning towards his bummy outfit.
"Right..." Sachi whispered looking into the store mirror.
"You look fine- you should get it," Joey told her again, looking down at his phone.
"You don't even care! How do I know you're not just lying?" she exclaimed, crossing her arms.
"Sachi~ It's not that I don't care- it's that really don't care."
"Ugh." she groaned, storming back into the changing room.
Joey sat down on a couch- tiredly looking back down at his phone. "Don't you have female friends you can hang out with? Or are you just being stubborn?"
"You know I'm too shy to try..." Sachi muttered, her puffy white hair pulled back in a nub bun as she stepped out. "You're the only one I feel comfortable with..."
"You're just like Hosuh." Joey muttered.
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with your brother- he's a precious little bean! You're just being mean."
"Whatever." Joey groaned, rolling his eyes.
He looked up and out the window of the store, watching as customers past the shop.

Dan, Stephen and Jay sat at the dinner table, Hosuh serving them- looking at the window every once in a while. "You expecting someone?" Dan asked, noticing his worried friend.
"Joey. He's late- again." He replied as he moved the curtain so he can look out the window. Just as he said that, Sachi drove up to the curb- Joey stepping out- heading towards the house.
"Look who decided to show up. Did you kiss your girlfriend goodbye~?" Stephen chuckled as he opened the door, Dan and Jay making cooing noises.
"Shut it, dickhead," Joey growled, glaring at the purple-haired boy.
"Joey! You forgot something!" Sachi's voice called. She hurried up to the door, holding out a bag.
"But I didn't bring anything. Or buy anything." Joey muttered, raising an eyebrow as she blinked.
"Oh! Uh... I-I know, it's a little something- like, a thank-you for the trouble." Sachi mumbled, handing it to him.
"A bracelet?" Joey groaned, pulling a red lace wrist piece.
"Yea, I made it myself-"
"I'm good." Joey interrupted her, putting it back in the bag and giving it back.
"What?"
"No. I don't want it- give it to Hosuh- I'll never wear it anyway."
"Joey!" his brother exclaimed.
"Uggggggh. Fine." the dark grey-haired boy groaned, as Sachi's hurt expression lit up.
"Joy!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck. She quickly pecked his cheek, leaving out of the house. "Bye, boys!" she called.
Joey blushed in embarrassment as Dan, Stephen, and Jay cooed.
"You guys are dead!" Joey shouted, chasing the boys upstairs, his brother giggling.
"Finish your dinner first!"
