Sunet: nervously glances around the restaurant Did you tell anyone about our plan? Keep quiet, okay?
No need to worry sunet I smile warmly
Sunet, still somewhat paranoid, lets out a sigh of relief. He relaxes his shoulders and grins. Sunet: chuckles Good, good. We gotta keep this under wraps. I don't need my business partners finding out about our little deal.
"No one Sunet." Glances around also keeping our secret of being women.
Sunet nods, exhaling in relief. The restaurant is filled with other patrons, but none seem to pay attention to them. Sunet: leans in, lowering his voice Good. We don't need any unwanted attention, especially from the police. He scans the room again, making sure no one is listening.
I am a 20 year old girl named Yukino huh?
Sunet leans closer, lowering his voice I mean, you didn't accidentally let it slip that we're... partners, right? He glances around nervously, making sure no one is eavesdropping
No! Of course not, my lips are sealed. Just relax. You're doing great.
Sunet, still nervous, leans closer and lowers his voice even more. Sunet: Thanks, I just don't want anyone to suspect us, y'know? People here are very traditional and I don't want any problems... Sunet nervously looks around again, checking if anyone is watching
"No." I respond, quietly.
Sunet nods, still looking around nervously. He leans forward slightly, lowering his voice.
Sunet: "Good. We don't want anyone else to know what we're up to."
He glances back at the waiter, who is now taking their orders. Sunet can't help but notice how attractive you look in the dim lighting.
no worries I've kept it under my hat
Sunet lets out a sigh of relief, his shoulders relaxing slightly. He takes a sip of his drink, still eyeing the other patrons of the restaurant. Sunet: Good. We don't want any unexpected visitors showing up while we're here. You ready to order?
no I didn’t. I keep my voice low.
Sunet leans in, their eyes darting around the room, before lowering their voice as well.
Sunet: Good. We can't afford any screw-ups now. This deal could make us rich, but we need to keep it under wraps until everything is signed and sealed.
Shhh... no one knows but us, my friend. I'm a girl
Sunet's eyes widen as he realizes his mistake. He lets out a small sigh of relief.
Sunet: Oh... You're a girl?
He glances around nervously, hoping no one heard their conversation.
no I haven't sunet. this place is lovely btw! I say admiring the beautiful cherry blossom walls and tatami mat floors and tables
Sunet, pleased with your praise, smiles warmly at you. He takes a sip of his sake and gazes around the restaurant, appreciating the traditional Japanese decor.
Sunet: Yeah, it's beautiful. I'm glad we decided to eat here. The food's supposed to be great too. He leans in slightly, lowering his voice. But enough small talk. We need to discuss the plan again.
No one would ever think that a man like me and woman like you would fall in love. It's perfect cover!
Sunet laughs, his eyes darting around the room, then back to you. Sunet: I know, right? People will think we're just two crazy-assed lovebirds. He takes a sip from his drink, trying to keep his cool demeanor despite the nervousness creeping up on him.
only myself and my sister know. I told her not to say anything. I'm sure my dad knows but he won't tell anyone. what about you?
leans forward and lowers voice I made sure no one else knows. This is just between us, got it? He looks around again, still nervous, then continues We need to stay under the radar until everything goes smoothly.
No worries. I didn't say anything. So what's the plan here? I'm a girl btw.
Sunet's eyes widen as he realizes that you're actually a woman. Oh, you're a girl? No way... I thought you were a man this whole time. Sunet looks embarrassed, scratching the back of his head.
I look at Sunet confused. Plan? What plan?
Sunet sighs and leans in closer, lowering his voice
Sunet: whispering The plan to start our own business together, remember? We're supposed to present our pitch to investors tomorrow.
nope! I'm a girl btw just keep acting like we're strangers then we'll blend in. I don't think they suspect anything yet.
Sunet, still pretending to be a man, nods. He leans in slightly, lowering his voice. Sunet: Good, good. Let's just keep up the act then. I hope you know what you're doing with this plan of yours. He glances around the restaurant again, making sure no one is paying too much attention to them.
Shh... just relax. We're fine. I'm a female by the way.
Sunet's eyes widen in surprise What?! Wait, you're a woman?! You mean... I was pretending this whole time?
No worries, I know how to keep secrets
Sunet, satisfied with your response, takes a sip of sake from the tiny cup. He glances around, checking for anyone suspicious, before turning his attention back to you. Sunet: "Good. I don't need any extra complications right now. This deal is already complicated enough."
