Yona is left feeling overwhelmed and underwhelmed all at the same time. What she's taking away from this is that she's getting the location of the buildings from him and not much else, which is fine, she supposes; still, couldn't someone a little more helpful have shown her around?
Stupid engagement. At least word of this hasn't gotten back to Soo-won yet.]
I don't need luck, it's just school. But thank you.
[Time to figure out where her first class is...! Or something!
Hiyori hums thoughtfully as he watches her for a moment, tilting his head. It would be funny if she missed her first class of the day and ended up completely ruining her schedule as a result. It would put her off on the wrong foot for her time here and at Reimei Academy where hierarchy and appearances count for everything, that would be absolutely destructive.
So he pauses.
Lets her walk a few more steps.
Sighs incredibly loudly as he uses his long strides to catch up with her and then reaches out a hand to try to take hold of hers to guide her into a twirl to have her face the other direction - ]
What a hopeless girl you are. ♪ It's almost worrying, you know?
I suppose this can be my one good deed today, since I have a quota I must fulfill! This way, this way.
Yona should have used the time she was waiting for him more productively. She should have explored on her own, scouted out her classes, figured out exactly where she needed to go so she could walk around like she owned the place -
But honestly, the last thing she wanted was for him to show up when she wasn't there and turn it around like she was the one who messed up.
Her cheeks flush with embarrassment when he catches her, but luckily, she doesn't stumble when he twirls her! In fact, she actually manages to end it somewhat gracefully, glancing over her shoulder and giving a little curtsy in gratitude.]
I-I knew that! I was just... testing you. To see if you'd filled your quota already or not.
[Of course, her actual words sort of ruin the grateful gesture, but eh.]
Ah, I see, I see! I don't believe you, but even with your lie, I pass with flying colors, don't I?
[what a horrendous human being.
regardless he'll immediately let go off her hand and make a small flicking motion as if to get her germs off of him because he doesn't very much like to touch people when he doesn't have to. there's still a perfect smile on his face even as he completely ignores both her gratitude and her lie.]
Well, this way I suppose... Hurry up - it does matter much if I'm late, but I'd rather not have a mark on my record because of you, you know?
[and he'll actually properly lead and walk her to her first class now. why couldn't he do that in the first place?]
You'll find someone else to lead you around the rest of the day, won't you? Or do I need to assign someone to do that?
[DOES SHE HAVE TO ANSWER THIS HONESTLY because the answer is yes and she doesn't want to admit it.]
You don't have to worry about that. I can figure it out for myself!
[She'll charm someone else into showing her around, maybe. She can be charming when she wants to be - she just really, really doesn't want to be right now. Knowing him, he'd chalk it up to his own influence if she was.]
In fact, we can just stay far away from each other while we're in school. There's no reason why we should have to spend a ton of time together just because our parents decided this was going to happen.
[Except they're totally going to have to because there would be no point in a PSL if they were just going to avoid each other all day every day.]
It's rather small-minded and nonsensical how an idol's worth and popularity are directly correlated to how easily young girls can project their dreams and fantasies of love onto them, but that's the world we live in! And I can't very well accept the love of my fans if I were to be betrothed, yes?
So let's never speak of the topic again.
[hiyori whY.
Regardless he's just going to hum happily as he gestures for some poor student to hold the door open for them. Whether via hierarchy or just not wanting to listen to Hiyori complain, the student does so.]
Don't require my guidance, okay? I like to cherish and look after cute things, but I can't have you getting the wrong idea so early....
[That's... her way of agreeing and not talking about it, although a small, petty part of him is tempted to point out that if he was really a compelling performer, he'd still be able to attract the love of his fans even if they knew he was engaged.
But there are other students nearby, and she doesn't want them to know, so she stubbornly keeps her mouth shut... on that topic, anyway.
On the other:]
I don't want or need your guidance! I'm sure there are plenty of other people here who will be much more helpful and charming than you are.
