[ On the morning of the 13th, one day before Valentine's Day, a sudden text message appears from a Souji Seta. Perhaps you've talked to him before. Perhaps you haven't. Perhaps you're wondering why the hell you are receiving a text at six in the morning but look, let's not sweat the small details. Pay attention to the larger ones, like the contents of this very important message: ]

Hello.

Through the tides of fate, you have been chosen to participate in this year's Valentine's Day event: Blind Dating. It is believed that no one should be alone for such an important day and as such, you have been paired up with another lonely soul.

Your match is with Aleksi Lehtonen. Please contact them to plan out your date for tomorrow.

However, if you and your partner do not know what to do, there will be a booth in Recollé Square for the sole purpose of assisting unsure or confused participants of the event. There will be date suggestions, booklets of pick-up lines, and refreshments.

Happy Valentine's Day.

[Yoon-sung likes to sleep in which is why it takes him about three various annoying alarms to wake up enough to take a shower. The sound of a text message interrupting the very loud fanchant of Wonder Girls had him raise his head from his pillows and then dig his phone out. He squints, rubs his eyes and then makes a face before flopping face first back into his pillow. After the fanchant, the chorus to 'BANG BANG BANG' started up and he raised his head again to re-squint at the message.

He groaned, rolled out of bed and stretched. Muttering in Korean, he thumbed open his phone and selected David's number before typing in a brief message:

Thanks for the date -_- | ㅡㅡ

That done, he went to wash up and think about what to do about his date.]

[Nope, he wasn't going to sit around on this, things are weird enough as it is with that app and he wants to make sure he is not dreaming things up.]

C'mon, pick up...

I barely wear any as it is!!

A little bird sent me a misfired text about pinning you down. An unfortunate choice of wording, but -- I didn't know you were a kickboxing instructor.

on the scale of 1 to infinity
do i sound like a creepy stalker

good morning! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

do you have time for a quick coffee date today?

Are you busy?

Good morning~! Check your doorstep for a surprise! It's a good one, I promise!

[A package is sitting there, and inside is four things. First, a box of chocolate Pocky with a sticky note that says "Happy Pocky Day! ♥" stuck to the front. Next, two hand knit scarves, one in brown and one in red. And then finally a letter.]

Dear David,

Happy birthday! お誕生日おめでとう! I hope my present is useful to you this morning. I'm sorry I can't give it to you in person, since I'm super busy this morning...but I wanted you to have it as soon as possible, too. Maybe we can meet up later today instead so I can make it up to you? Or would you rather meet up on Sunday instead? Let me know!

Coincidentally, today is Pocky Day in Japan, too! ポッキーゲームをしよう? I hope you enjoy them!

Minako

[She'd texted him earlier to let him know she'd be stopping by the apartment tonight. It doesn't feel right to ask him to be her plus one for a wedding over text.

Minako doesn't think he'd be against it? But on the off chance he has a commitment already, at least she has this slow cooker of enchiladas for him and Yoon-sung to give as an anti-awkward distraction before making her escape.]

David? Hellooo? Maybe he's not home yet...

you're at your apartment, right? Come out for a sec

Hi!
You're Minako's boyfriend, right?

I'm back!

for just one day

but I'm back!

[Late night training on the beach! This is where Minako has always done most of her training, and the cold air is no deterrent to that. When David arrives, he'll find her perched on top of Seth's back, wrapped in a shawl and singing to the dragon.]

Gimme that can't sleep love
I want that can't sleep--

[Seth snorts, and then Minako looks up with him, waving to David.]

Hi! Ready to practice?

do you want to see something weird
weirder than normal for me anyways
