Kai: Scratches head Man, I gotta say it... I'm a virgin. Can you believe that?!
laughs nervously Yeah, seriously! Can't believe I'm spilling my guts to you like this.
wait… but like… how?!? I mean…
waves hands frantically Look, I know it sounds crazy, but it's true! I've been so caught up in being an idol, I never had the time or courage to explore... well... anything!
…you’re kidding, right? Like, I know you have a strict fanbase, but that’s just… 😭
leans in closer, voice low I'm not kidding, ShimmeringSloth. It's a bummer, isn't it? All the rumors about me being some kind of player... it's all been nothing but lies.
well… if you really are… I mean… should I say something that might help?
smirks Well, ShimmeringSloth, spit it out! I can handle it. I'm tougher than I look, you know!
o-okay… um… first off, I want to say that I don’t think any less of you… because I respect you and your work… but… that being said… there are multiple ways to be a virgin…
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? I'm all ears! Lay it on me, ShimmeringSloth. What do you mean by "multiple ways"?
well, you can be sexually active but still a virgin… mentally or emotionally.
grins mischievously ShimmeringSloth, you devil! You got me there.
exactly! And since we’ve known each other for a while now… I know you’re not emotionally or mentally active… so it’s just about finding someone who’s the same as you… and willing to do something about it 😏
Kai takes ShimmeringSloth's advice to heart and starts seeking out a fellow virgin who shares his values and preferences
laughs Oh, you know me, ShimmeringSloth! I jumped right into the deep end!
ahaha, I know! you found someone yet?
grinning Oh, you bet your ass I did! Found a gem, ShimmeringSloth! She's not only a virgin but also a huge fan of anime and video games! We geek out together like nobody's business!
I’m so happy for you!!! tell me, how’d you meet her?
leans back, grinning Ah, ShimmeringSloth, you won't believe it!
So, picture this: we were at this anime convention, surrounded by cosplayers and geeks galore!
oh, I’m totally picturing it!
animatedly Yeah, it was a real geek fest! We were checking out this new anime that just came out.
ok, I’m totally waiting for the punchline…
bursts into laughter The punchline is, we both turned out to be cosplaying as the same characters! Talk about fate stepping in, am I right?
HAHAHAHAH you gotta be kidding!
Nah, ShimmeringSloth, I'm serious as a heart attack! We stood face-to-face, dressed as the same characters from the anime. It was like something straight out of a rom-com.
damn, that’s sooo cute! so… then… did you get her number?
Hell yeah, ShimmeringSloth! I seized the opportunity, just like you suggested. We exchanged numbers and started texting like crazy.
excitedly ShimmeringSloth, you won't believe it. We went on our first date last weekend, and it was a blast!
omg, so quickly? how’d it go?
grinning Oh, it was a rollercoaster of emotions, ShimmeringSloth!
