Not that she's remotely bothered about it, and she follows along with his tug toward the shop. Even if it's for the brief moment, her fingers wrap around his hand in return. ]
Mmhm, it will probably be quicker. Just try not to get cornered by someone weird.
[ Even if that could be a viable way to obtain some information, Jinwoo wouldn't probably last a day without kicking everyone's asses. ]
I hope you won't meet any teachers either. See you soon.
[ He can tell that the shop staff is looking at him because of the lack of a shirt, so Jinwoo waves at Lapis and goes hunting for some casual clothes. Thankfully, plain T-shirts, jeans, and cardigans still exist. No longer than ten minutes later, the pink thug look is no more. After paying for the clothes, he decides to wait near the shop entrance. ]
Hopefully not, I've never had to deal with actual teachers before. [ Nothing like being homeschooled all her life. ] Mm, see you soon.
[ There's a wave back as Lapis gathers up her own clothes; at least simple shirts and skirts are cheap and easy to find. While that part is simple enough, it seems like she's more of a weirdo magnet than she was anticipating - a guy creeping over, offering to buy her something 'cuter'.
A sharp "no, thank you" and dodge out of the way brings her back to the shop entrance; while she would have liked to change, right now she just needs to get rid of this asshole. ]
Let's go, I don't want to start a fight in the store. [ Because she will throw the man if he tries to even put a hand on her shoulder. ]
[ Lapis had been content to ignore the guy, so the fact Jinwoo is willing to start a fight makes her pause. ]
Wait, hold on -
[ Ah, there the guy goes. She'll... go get changed really quick before going after them. He's not gonna actually fight the dude right? He did seem to be panicking and putting up a struggle when he was dragged away - ]
[ Jinwoo isn't going to fight him, but he'll leave him a friendly reminder not to bother other people. Two cuts on the cheek made by Jinwoo's dagger will hopefully suffice for a lesson and if it doesn't, Jinwoo will find him again.
No longer than ten minutes later, he's back at the entrance to the shop, looking around for Lapis. ]
[ But what's done is done, and Jinwoo has managed to chase the creep away for now. And luckily Lapis is quick to make her way back to the entrance of the store after changing, now in something still cute but more sensible. ]
[ It's not a lie at least—he could have given the guy a harder time. Jinwoo rests his hand on the back of his neck and looks away, slightly flustered. If a schoolgirl uniform had a certain charm, the outfit Lapis chose looks quite nice too. ]
Some people need to be told to stop bothering others.
[ Hopefully, at least - dealing with that once was enough. Though then she's frowning for different reasons, noticing how Jinwoo is looking away. She's changed clothes now, so surely it can't be that. ]
[ When his head is turned towards Lapis, Jinwoo smiles awkwardly. Something surely is off, but it's obvious that he's not planning to say anything else and redirect the conversation to the bakeries he's seen. ]

[ He just... takes her hand again and tugs Lapis along in the direction of the shop he pointed out earlier. ]
Should we split up?

[ Jinwoo really just. Says things, huh?

Just go to the changing room, he won't bother you.
[ The creep is going to be too busy being dragged away from the store by an invisible force also known as Jinwoo using stealth. ]

[ And yet he's still avoiding looking at her directly. ]
But we can go check out the bakeries now.

Then she reaches up, placing a finger under Jinwoo's chin and turning his head towards her. ]
Then you shouldn't have any problems looking at me.
[ And just like that, she lets go - heading towards one of the bakeries. ]
Alright, let's go take a look.
