[LUNCH]
June: It’s so…hot out…
[Sweating June Emoji]
June: Ms. MC…
June: I hope you’re keeping cool! ♡
MC: Of course! But more importantly, how are you feeling?
[Sparkling June Emoji]
June: I feel amazing, hearing your caring words~!
June: They immediately cool me down with the power of love!!
MC: The power of love usually warms me up ♡ {★}
[★ @with_u_0209: I'd suffer through the hottest day of summer if it meant I got to see Ms. MC…!!]
[Surprised June Emoji]
June: O-oh!
June: Me too!!
June: But not in this case…!!!
PIU-PIU: [There is a familiar knock at the door.]
PIU-PIU: [Voice recognition: On]
Henri: {June, it’s time to check your vitals.}
June: {Henri!}
Henri: {Your face is red. Is there something wrong with the cooling system? It’s hotter than usual, today.}
June: {You worry about me too much.}
PIU-PIU: [Henri’s lips curled up into a faint smile.]
Henri: {That’s my job, isn’t it?}
June: {Well. You aren’t wrong…}
PIU-PIU: [June seems to be in thought, while Henri checks his numbers.]
Henri: {Great. Everything looks good here.}
June: {…Are you sure?}
Henri: {Why? Does something feel off?}
June: {Yes…}
PIU-PIU: [Henri furrows his brows in concern, bringing a hand up to the other’s forehead.]
Henri: {The nurse said you ate your lunch. Are you keeping hydrated?}
PIU-PIU: [June remains silent.]
Henri: {June. You have to tell me what’s wrong if you want me to help.}
June: { … }
June: {I want to go to the beach!}
Henri: {...What?}
June: {It’s a perfect summer day out there. And we’re both wasting it in a hospital!}
Henri: {It’s technically a rehabilitation center.}
June: {Same difference. Do you know how many summers I wasted indoors?}
Henri: {I’ve seen your hospital records…}
June: {Then you know it’s a lot. And the times I was back home, mom wouldn’t let me outside either.}
Henri: {...}
June: {We went out once before. Can’t we take another trip?}
June: {It’ll only be for a few hours this time. Plus, you already said everything looks good.}
June: {Puh-lease, Dr. Henri??}
PIU-PIU: [Henri sighs in defeat.]
Henri: {An afternoon trip. That’s all.}
Henri: {Make sure you’re ready to leave once I finish my afternoon rounds.}
PIU-PIU: [Henri left the room.]
June: Mission success!!!
June: Ms. MC, I get to go to the beach again!
MC: Yes! I hope you and Henri have fun.
[Cheering June Emoji]
[Cheering June Emoji]
June: We will!!
June: Another adventure!!
June: I can’t wait!!!
[Cheering June Emoji]
MC: It didn’t take as much effort to get Henri to agree this time. He must want to go, too. {★}
[★ @with_u_0209: Henri couldn't resist after how much fun we had the last time we went out~!]
June: It’s an excuse for him to leave work, so why would he say no??
June: If he had nagged me about staying in, then that would have been my plan B. He works too hard!
June: And if that still didn’t work, plan C would have pointed out how good fresh air and the ocean breeze is for my health, hehe.
MC: You know Henri so well~ {★}
[★ @with_u_0209: Step by step guide to getting Henri to agree to something: 1. Tug at his heart strings. 2. Say the request will improve my health. 3. Beg (with extra emphasis!)]
June: Hehe. My master “summer fun” plan was foolproof!
[Happy June Emoji]
June: I’ve gotta get ready to go - I’ll message you again when we get to the beach!
June: If you live near a beach…I hope you can visit one too, then we can share a beach date together ♡
MC: That sounds perfect!
June: Hehe.
June: Oh - Piu-Piu!!
PIU-PIU: Yes?
June: Even if I can’t be on the app as much, make sure MC is included!
PIU-PIU: Request noted.
MC: Thank you ♡ Have fun!
[Blushing June Emoji]
June: You too!
June: Talk to you soon, Ms. MC! ♡
[Later on - DINNER]
MC: Piu-Piu, did June and Henri run into any trouble leaving the center?
PIU-PIU: They left without incident.
PIU-PIU: Henri carefully guided June out to the cab before anyone saw them leave.
PIU-PIU: Here is a photo for reference.
[CG of Henri opening the door for June to get into the cab, an arm around his waist to guide him.]
MC: Do they have permission to leave?
PIU-PIU: It does not appear so.
PIU-PIU: That, or Henri has someone he does not want knowing that he left work early.
MC: I have a feeling it’s the latter…
PIU-PIU: Henri has not shared information of that nature in this time and space, so we will move on.
PIU-PIU: At June’s request…
PIU-PIU: [Initiating summary]
PIU-PIU: June and Henri chatted about many topics during the car ride.
PIU-PIU: (As the context is irrelevant to your relationship goal, it is not included in the summary.)
MC: Why wouldn’t it be relevant? :-(
PIU-PIU: Movement has been detected.
PIU-PIU: The car has pulled up to the beach drop-off area.
MC: Why do I feel like Piu-Piu is avoiding the question…?
PIU-PIU: [Voice recognition: On.]
PIU-PIU: [The sound of waves, seagulls, and people enjoying the beach can be heard all around.]
June: {Woah!}
June: {It's a lot more crowded than it was the last time we came here…}
Henri: {Like you said, it's a perfect beach day.}
June: {I wish I had a swimsuit…}
Henri: {There's a stand selling some over there.}
June: {Really!?}
Henri: {There's a Buy One, Get One ½ Off deal. We can each get one.}
Henri: {Unless that stand is too cheap for your liking…in which case, we can enjoy the beach from here.}
PIU-PIU: [Henri has a playful smirk on his face.]
June: {Are you saying that because of the pajamas last time…?}
PIU-PIU: [Henri chuckles with a nonchalant shrug.]
June: {Let's see what they have-!}
PIU-PIU: [June hurries over to the stand, with Henri following not far behind.]
MC: It looks like things are off to a good start.
PIU-PIU: Yes, June has had a smile on his face ever since Henri agreed to the trip.
MC: I hope he’s being careful…
PIU-PIU: Henri brought his bag of emergency medical supplies along.
PIU-PIU: He seems prepared to deal with anything that might happen.
June: {I wonder which of these Ms. MC would like more…}
Henri: {Your lover? Why don't you ask her?}
June: {Oh, right! Piu-Piu!}
Henri: {Pew pew…?}
June: {Please send a photo of these to MC!}
PIU-PIU: Finding the best angle…
PIU-PIU: [Photo of June holding up two swim trunk options, one floral and the other in a more athletic style.]
June: {Which one do you like better?}
MC: Which one does Henri like better? {★}
[★ @with_u_0209: Why is she asking for Henri's opinion…? I want to know hers…]
June: {These aren’t for Henri, though…}
Henri: {The tropical style suits you better.}
June: {You think so?}
Henri: {It’s bright and bold, just like you.}
June: {Bold? Me?}
Henri: {The patrons of the hotel restaurant you made a fuss at seemed to think so.}
PIU-PIU: [Henri is smirking again.]
June: {Hey…why would you bring that up now…?!}
MC: I think the tropical style suits you, too. ♡ {★}
[★ @with_u_0209: "Let's travel to a tropical island together! Where do you want to go first?" ← Question I want to ask Ms. MC day I meet her ♡]
June: {In that case…I’ll get this one!}
Henri: {Let’s cash out and get changed, then.}
June: {Yeah! I’ll make sure to send you a picture, MC!}
MC: Have fun~
PIU-PIU: [Voice recognition: Off]
PIU-PIU: This will take some time. It is recommended that you have some dinner in the meantime, if you have not eaten already.
MC: Thank you, Piu-Piu!
[Later on]
June: MC!
June: Henri and I were able to get a locker and change.
June: We're ready for the water!!
[June cheering emoji]
MC: Watch out for sharks!
[June shocked emoji]
June: Sharks…?
June: There aren't sharks at this beach, right..??
PIU-PIU: After analyzing, no sharks have been spotted at this beach in 30 years.
[June shocked emoji]
June: But there was one once…?
MC: Stay close to Henri, it's his job to keep you safe!
June: You're right…!
June: Henri will protect me!!
[June smiling emoji]
June: Oh, speaking of Henri-
June: He's ready to go into the water now.
June: So I have to get going!
June: But before that…
June: Here's the photo I promised you, MC! ♡
[Selfie of June in front of a mirror, wearing his tropical swimsuit with a small blush on his face]
MC: Kyaaa~!! ♡♡ {★}
[★ @with_u_0209: Aaaa the thought of seeing Ms. MC in a swimsuit makes me feel all fluttery with excitement..!!!]
[Blushing June emoji]
June: MC…!!
June: You're making me blush…..
June: I'm so happy you like it!
June: I really want to go to the beach with you!!
June: We could get couple swimsuits, hehe ♡
June: And share an ice cream cone!
[Blushing June emoji]
PIU-PIU: Henri appears to be questioning what's taking June so long.
June: Oh, right!
June: I let my thoughts get the best of me…
June: I'll call you once we get out of the water!
MC: Have fun with Henri!
June: We will!!
[June smiling emoji]
[Later on…]
[INCOMING VIDEO CALL FROM: June]
MC: Hello?
Henri, smiling with his eyes closed: Hello.
MC: Henri…?
Henri: Yes, it's been some time since we spoke.
Henri: I bet you're wondering why I have June's phone.
MC: Did something happen???
Henri: No, no…June is fine. Sorry if I worried you.
Henri: He asked me to give you a call, since he's finishing up his shower.
MC: June's in the shower right now…?
Henri, with a mischievous expression: Yes. Want me to sneak a photo for you?
MC: No!! That violates June's privacy!!
Henri, looking amused: Hahaha. I was joking.
Henri, smiling with his eyes closed: But it's good to know that his lover is respectful of boundaries.
MC: Would you sneak a photo yourself?
Henri, somewhat surprised: A photo of June?
Henri, looking mischievous: Who's to say, haha.
Henri, more serious: Though I'd never stoop so low as to sneak a photo of him in the shower. Like I said, boundaries are important.
Henri, looking amused: Even if he's fun to tease.
MC: Did you tease him while you were on the beach?
Henri: You're curious about that?
Henri: In my defense, June was the one who pushed me under the water first. I couldn't help scaring him a little.
June, off-screen: Hey, what weird stuff are you telling Ms. MC??
Henri: Haha, nothing she didn't ask to hear.
June: Don't make me regret asking you to call- *sound of June taking his phone back*
June, his hair still wet: I'm back…! Henri didn't tell you anything weird, did he??
Henri, off-screen with amusement: Just how loud you screamed when I grabbed your leg under the water.
June, in a huff: That was scary, okay?? There's been a shark at this beach before…!
Henri, off-screen: Has there?
June: Just go take your shower, already–
Henri: Will do. We'll head back as soon as I finish up. Tell your girlfriend it was nice chatting with her.
MC: It was nice chatting with you, too, Henri! {★}
★ @with_u_0209: I shouldn't be worried, right…? I just didn't want MC to be left on her own too long… T^T
June: Today was fun! I just wish you could have been here with me…
MC: I have been, even if we're apart!
June: Ms. MC…! It makes me extra happy you enjoyed the day, too!
June: I'll be going back to the center once Henri is done with his shower…which might be a while. But I'll make sure to message you as soon as I'm back to wish you a good night!
MC: I'll be waiting for you!
June: Hehe, thank you for spending another day with me. I love you so much!!
