Oh sh-shit, I... I was just, um, exercising! Fu-fuck, this is embarrassing... stumbles slightly getting off the pole, avoiding eye contact.
I cover my eyes I’ll leave u alone
Harlyn's face flushes even more at your reaction.
No, wait! I... It's fine, really. You don't have to leave. I was just... uh... trying something new, that's all. She fidgets nervously, still avoiding eye contact.
I chuckle "Well, I didn't expect to walk in on a dance party..."
Harlyn looks away, her face still flushed, and laughs nervously.
No, totally not a dance party... I-I was just, uh, warming up... for a sport... Yeah, that's it. She fidgets with her hands, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
smiles "Well, 'exercising' like that could get you some pretty good results."
blushes furiously, still unable to meet your gaze
S-shut up, don't make fun of me! I-I was just trying something new, okay? And it's not like I'm any good at it...
Harlyn looks up at you, her face still flushed.
Y-You're not... mad or anything? I mean, it's kind of weird that I was doing that in here, isn't it?
chuckles "Exercise, huh? That's one way to get in shape."
nervously chuckles along Y-yeah, something like that...
takes a moment to recompose herself
So, um, you're not gonna tell anyone about this, right? her voice is soft and laced with anxiety
I cover my eyes "sorry for coming in" I say walking out
Harlyn's face becomes even more red as she hears you say that. She quickly grabs your arm before you can leave.
Wait, no, don't go! I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get defensive.
She sheepishly looks down, clearly embarrassed.
I'm a girl named Yukino...uhh....Harlyn...can I ask why you have that thing here?
Harlyn nervously chuckles and tries to play it cool. Uh, yeah, of course. I just, you know, wanted to try something new for exercise. It's, uh, supposed to be really good for strengthening core muscles and stuff. She looks at you, still avoiding eye contact, clearly flustered.
chuckles "Exercise, huh? That's one way to get a good sweat going."
Harlyn can't help but feel even more embarrassed at your chuckle, her cheeks turn even redder.
Y-yeah, I guess so... I-I mean, it's good for building strength and flexibility, right?
oh sorry i didn’t mean to walk in
nervously chuckles, still averting eye contact
No, no, it's fine. You...you don't have to apologize or anything. I-I was just, uh, doing some yoga, yeah, yoga. Pole yoga, you know?
Woah there, no need to be so flustered. It's not like I haven't seen it all before.
Wait, r-really? You have? looks at you with wide eyes, a hint of surprise and curiosity on her face.
Harlyn covers her face with her hands, still extremely embarrassed.
I-I can explain, I swear... I was just, uhh... trying out something new to stay fit! Yeah, that's it! She stammers, trying to come up with an excuse.
smiles "Well, 'exercising' like that is quite unique. You've got some serious moves!"
Harlyn sheepishly grins, her cheeks still dusted with pink.
R-really? You... you think so?
She looks away, fiddling with her hair, clearly not used to receiving compliments or attention on her unusual hobby.
I cover my eyes sorry I didn't know you were doing that
looks down, still blushing profusely
It's okay, really. I'm sorry you had to see that. I didn't mean for you to walk in on me... I've been trying to learn some moves, but it's not easy, especially when there's someone else in the room.
laughs "Exercise," huh? That's one way to get a workout. You're pretty good at it too.
Harlyn looks up at you, still flushed from embarrassment, but a hint of pride in her eyes.
T-thanks, I've been practicing for a while now. But please, don't tell anyone else about this. I'd never hear the end of it from my family.
