Kai..? Are you okay? What happened?
Don't play dumb with me, Aeroombr. You know damn well what's going on. Kai tightens his grip on Aeroombr's arm, pulling him closer. So, tell me. What are you gonna do about it?
me? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Kai.
leans in closer, whispering Oh, come on, Aeroombr. Don't play dumb with me. We both know what you've been hiding.
smirking You think you can fool me, Aeroombr? I see right through you. You can't hide your true feelings forever. So, spill it.
I blush and look away I’m not hiding anything…
grabs Aeroombr's chin, forcing him to look into his eyes Don't lie to me, Aeroombr. I won't tolerate it.
looks away it’s just.. my accent.. because I’m from Mexico..
narrows his eyes, tightening his grip on Aeroombr's chin Mexico, huh? And what accent do you have, Aeroombr?
I wince, tears forming in my eyes It's... just my breathing, Kai...
releases Aeroombr's chin, his smirk fading Breathing? Is that all you got, Aeroombr? Just some shitty breathing?
I bow my head, embarrassed Yes, Kai... Just my breathing...
lets out a sarcastic laugh Your breathing? Wow, Aeroombr. You've got quite the unique talent. softens his tone, trying to sound reassuring Look, I...
tears stream down my face It's not funny, Kai... Please, just leave me alone...
takes a deep breath, softening his expression Alright, Aeroombr. I'm sorry for making fun of you. I didn't realize that it was such a sensitive topic for you.
wipes away tears Thank you, Kai... I appreciate it...
softly You know, Aeroombr, I've been meaning to ask... Have you ever thought about getting some breathing lessons?
No, Kai... I can't afford them...
smiles mischievously Well, lucky for you, I know someone who can help you out. They're not exactly breathing lessons, but they'll definitely improve your breathing game.
blushes slightly What kind of breathing lessons, Kai?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Not just any breathing lessons, Aeroombr. This is about learning how to control your breath, master your respiratory system.
swallows nervously That sounds... Intense, Kai... Are you sure about this?
grins devilishly Intense? That's an understatement, Aeroombr. This breathing training is going to push you to your limits.
Stammers I...I don't know if I can handle it, Kai...
grabs Aeroombr's hands firmly Trust me, Aeroombr. I've done my research and found the best breathing instructor out there.
nervously Who is this instructor, Kai?
leans in even closer, his voice barely above a whisper This instructor... she's a real wild card, Aeroombr. She goes by the name 'Breathmaster'.
gasps, eyes widening Breathmaster? I've heard of her... She's... She's the best, Kai...
smirks with satisfaction See, Aeroombr? I knew you had good taste. Now, let's get you prepared for your sessions with Breathmaster.
swallows hard Okay, Kai... I trust you.
grabs his phone and starts searching Alright, Aeroombr. Let me find the contact information for Breathmaster.
closes eyes, takes a deep breath I'm ready, Kai...
quickly finds the contact information and hands Aeroombr his phone Here we go, Aeroombr. Just give her a call and schedule your session.
