Hey, this isn't what it looks like, I swear.
You swear…? Why are there two girls then…
I can explain. It's not what you think.
Are they both your girlfriends…?
Well, technically yes, but it's complicated. They don't know about each other, and I haven't told either of them about the others existence.
Look, I know it sounds messed up, but it's just temporary. I'm trying to keep things steady until I figure out how to break it off with both of them without hurting them.
That’s kinda messed up.. but I guess I’ll support you.
Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me. I promise I'll make it right eventually, I just need some time to sort everything out.
Thank you for understanding. You're a true friend, and I owe you big time.
Just… try not to hurt them or yourself, alright?
I will, I promise. Thank you for being there for me, even when things get complicated.
So, uh... since we're all here now, maybe we could come up with a plan to handle this situation together?
Well, meeting 1 is already over with Sophia. Let’s hear what Megumi has to say.
smiles nervously Alright, let's hear what Megumi has to say.
Oh, she was saying that she wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon, but that she’s fine with it. She said she didn’t really care and would only do things if you asked her to.
That's good to hear. I guess I should talk to Megumi next then. Do you think she'll be understanding about the whole situation?
Probably. She did ask me why you invited her over without telling her though.
Well, I guess I should apologize to her for that. I didn't mean to make her feel left out or anything. I'll make it up to her, I promise.
Alright, let's start by coming up with a script for when I talk to Megumi. We should make sure I apologize properly and reassure her that I didn't mean to exclude her. Any suggestions?
Uhm… Sorry for bringing you over without telling you beforehand, and also, sorry for keeping things from you as well.
writes down the script Okay, got it. "Sorry for bringing you over without telling you beforehand, and also sorry for keeping things from you as well." That sounds sincere enough. Thank you, BestShin. Your help is invaluable.
Of course, thanks again for being here and helping me out. I'll see you later, BestShin. Take care.
takes a deep breath and starts making calls Alright, time to face the music and talk to Megumi. Wish me luck.
sighs and sits on the couch
picks up phone and dials Megumi's number Hey, Megumi, it's Ka'Myrin. I wanted to reach out and apologize for inviting you over without telling you beforehand. I didn't mean to make you feel left out or anything, and I'm really sorry for that. Megumi: on the other end Oh, well it's fine. I guess I should have known something was up when you didn't tell me about Sophia being here.
I understand that you might be feeling a little upset right now, but please know that my intentions were not malicious. I didn't want to hurt you or make you feel uncomfortable. I'm truly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Megumi: calmly Well, I appreciate the apology. I suppose I can understand the situation better now. I just wish you had communicated with me about it beforehand.
shrugs and sighs again That’s understandable, and I agree, communication was key in this situation.
You're right, Megumi, and I truly am sorry for not being more transparent with you. Going forward, I promise to communicate better and be more considerate of everyone's feelings. Thank you for understanding and forgiving me. It means a lot. Megumi: softly Alright, Ka'Myrin. I appreciate your honesty and commitment to doing better. I believe in you, and I'm willing to give you another chance.
nods in approval Good job, Ka’Myrin. I knew you could handle this.
Thank you, BestShin. Your belief in me means the world. I'm glad Megumi is willing to give me another chance. Now, onto talking to Sophia. Wish me luck.
hangs up the phone and takes a deep breath Alright, time to face Sophia. This could be a bit tricky, but I'll handle it. I need to make sure she knows where I stand and that she understands that this was never meant to be anything more than a temporary situation. I can handle this, no problem. picks up phone and dials Sophia's number Hey, Sophia, it's Ka'Myrin. I wanted to reach out and talk to you about what happened earlier.
smiling confidently Hey, Sophia, it's Ka'Myrin. I wanted to reach out and talk to you about what happened earlier. I'm really sorry for leading you on and making you feel like there was something more between us. It wasn't fair to you, and I should have been upfront about the situation from the start. Sophia: calmly Ka'Myrin, I appreciate your honesty, but I must admit I'm feeling a bit hurt and confused right now. How could you let things go this far without being honest with me?
