[ Jinwoo.exe seems to have stopped working. ]

Y-yeah, there was an error... [ The fact that he's not looking away is actually making her turn a little red too, and she tugs down on the ears in a vain attempt to cover her face. Honestly she should try to fix the shirt situation, but adjusting that in front of him... Sounds like a bad idea.

And this stupid chip won't let her change either. She's stuck like this. ]

I can't change, so could I... Borrow something to cover up? This shirt doesn't... [ A quick glance down, before averting her eyes because yeah bringing attention to that might actually kill him. ]

It doesn't fit right.

Ah, yes. Sure. Sure...

[ Jinwoo removes his cardigan, clearly flustered... only to realize that even though it's very loose, the lack of buttons might pose an issue. ]

Maybe... my shirt? [ Since the corset buttons seem to be fighting for their lives, Jinwoo removes his shirt right away without thinking much, revealing his toned abs. ] Please, take it.

[ As he takes off his cardigan, Lapis takes the moment where his focus is away from her to see if maybe she can try to... adjust.

... No, this is clearly a losing battle. The fabric is only straining more now, and she'll just have to hope nothing breaks. Or snaps. Is her chest really that big surely it isn't - ]

Oh, ah - [ And now it's her turn to have a crisis since she's sure... never seen him without a shirt before. Lapis knows she's gone bright red now as she averts her eyes, trying to... gently fold her arms over her chest for some cover. ]

A-are you sure, I can just wrap the cardigan around myself.

I'm sure, take it.

[ If these buttons lose the battle, Jinwoo's cardigan won't do. His shirt, however, is much safer. ]

Keep the cardigan too, just in case. [ In case of errors, he means. ] I'll just grab another shirt.

[ He doesn't really mind sitting here without one, but he can see how it could make Lapis uncomfortable. ]

At least this didn't happen in public.

Mm, alright.

[ Okay, she'll take the shirt and put it on... Something about the fact she's wearing his clothes with this underneath sure does keep the embarrassment lingering for a bit longer. At least Jinwoo isn't too much of a noodle man, so the shirt isn't getting stretched out that much - ]

Sorry, I'll... get you a new shirt. [ Just going to wrap herself in the cardigan now, taking another glance at him before trying to politely avert her eyes. She wants to look but also staring is rude. ]

Yeah, I can safely say I do not want anyone else seeing me in this. [ Though after that reaction before... Hopefully he's not too uncomfortable. ]

And, ah, sorry. About this.

Lapis, please.

[ While his shock after seeing Lapis in a bunny costume hasn't worn off yet, Jinwoo can think about things other than errors. The things in question being head pats. He just has to watch out not to poke her bunny ears too much. ]

I have plenty of shirts. [ Five is plenty in his book, okay. Now four. ] Don't apologize for something that isn't your fault. Besides...

[ Besides what, Jinwoo. BESIDES WHAT. ]

[ Head pats are good. The bunny appreciates the head pats, and she leans into it with a soft hum. ]

I think we have different ideas on what 'plenty of shirts' is. [ Jinwoo that's not even enough for a week. Does she need to take him shopping.

Also why is he trailing off like that, now she's squinting up at him. ]

... Besides what.

Besides... you look kind of cute.

[ There, he said it. Jinwoo might not think twice when he's standing against a strong opponent, but he knows better than to say that some parts of that outfit might be a little too tight. ]

The ears are cute.

[ Safe...? ]

[ Cute, Jinwoo says. Another wave of embarrassment washes over her as she absently fidgets with the sleeve of her new cardigan. ]

Well... I'm glad you think so. Maybe I might wear this again sometime.

[ And there's absolutely no further explanation as she simply hums in agreement, reaching up to tug on an ear.

Though, if there's ears then... She pauses, before twisting around to take a look behind her. At what's under the cardigan, on the back of her shorts. ]

... There's even a tail.

Again...

[ An embarrassed chuckle follows, but at least he has enough common sense not to ask if she's willing to wear it here or in public. ]

W-What? A tail?

[ Jinwoo's trying to take a peek... ]

You want to see it?

[ She sees him trying to take a peek, so she can't resist teasing a little. But she does twist around a little more so he can look.

Behold, a cute little cotton-ball tail. ]

I guess this part is cute too... [ Even if it's attached to short shorts. ]

Edited (when u notice a typo an hour later) 2024-04-25 16:09 (UTC)

[ Acting on an impulse, Jinwoo reaches out and almost touches the fluffy tail before smacking his own hand with the other one. Although they have established that already, he repeats: ]

It's cute.

[ WHAT WAS HE THINKING... ]

[ Seeing the hand approach the fluffy tail was not what she was expecting, and there's a moment where she simply glances between Jinwoo and the tail.

Before her lips twitch into a faint grin as she huffs out a laugh. ]

Judging by that reaction, you really like the tail. [ But she straightens up now, tail once again hidden under her borrowed cardigan. ]

Though would this go above or below the schoolgirl uniform...

Bel—

[ He gives an answer almost right away. Or rather just a part of it. ]

Wherever you'd like.

[ That's it, this might be the way he departs from this world—while discussing the placement of a bunny tail if there are more than one costume involved. ]

[ ... Pfft. ]

If I later wear something like this willingly, it's not for my own enjoyment.

[ Casually makes this worst. ]

But I'm glad I'm starting to know your tastes a little more, too.

[ Jinwoo laughs awkwardly because he more or less knows that sometimes he's painfully obvious, especially in awkward and/or embarrassing situations. ]

Isn't it high time that I learned about your tastes, Lapis?

[ And it doesn't help that Lapis likes to tease him, just to embarrass him that little bit more. ]

Hmm, true. Though does this mean you're willing to wear something for me, Jinwoo?

I am.

[ That's all he says for a moment. After that sinks in, he murmurs with a smile: ]

You don't have to hold yourself back.

[ So much retroactive rizz... ]

[ Jinwoo this rizz???

Immediately she finds herself going red as well, but alright! She won't be deterred!! ]

Well... [ She pauses, eyes glancing... down briefly. He's still not wearing a shirt, and she lets her gaze drift to the side again. ] It's not really dressing up, but I guess I don't mind seeing you shirtless.

[ Anyway - ] But suits... Uniforms too, maybe.

Uniforms? Do you have something specific in mind?

[ If Jinwoo has his schoolgirl uniforms, Lapis must have an equivalent of that... and he's very curious. Very, very, very curious. Probably way more curious than he should be. ]

[ Something specific? It's not something she's really thought about too much, but... ]

Maybe... something like a butler uniform? [ Which means the butler outfit glitch sure is a critical hit - ]

A butler uniform...

[ Jinwoo trails off for a moment and smiles to himself. ]

I could pretend to be one if you're into that.

[ Maybe even right now. She wouldn't have to wait for May for the Jinwoo Butler Experience... ]

[ Pretend to be one? Lapis takes a moment to consider the idea; would she be into Jinwoo doing that...?

... Yep absolutely. ]

Ah - [ Just going to clear her throat really quick, it's fine. ] If you're willing to commit to the act, then yeah I think I would be into that.

[ Is he willing to commit to the act? Well... yes. ]

Thank you, Milady, for this opportunity. I shall do everything in my power to serve you and fulfill your every wish.

[ Thank gods for K-dramas, he would never come up with that line himself. ]

[ ... Oh.

Oh no.

Immediately she turns bright red, her shoulders hunching as she takes a moment to process this. ]

Ah. [ Just... Going to clear her throat as she glances to the side. ]

Y-you don't have to do it now...
