Hikaru dropped his gym bag on the corner and sat down on the floor eating the cinnamon bun that he couldn't finish earlier. He had the marker ready by his side.

"You know you could sell this," He said with a m.u.f.fled voice, talking with his mouth full. Eika approached him, scratching her cheek. She held out his hand to him.

"Come on, let's get to it?" Eika asked with a pleading look. Hikaru smiled a bit and, he rose from the ground when Eika's balance was off. He immediately caught her with his hand. The moment he did, the same second Eika pulled away.

"I'm gonna start," Eika pressed the play b.u.t.ton on the speakers. The video started to play. Eika tried to copy the moves and same with Hikaru but, he's dancing like his arms and legs are frozen.

When the video showed a hair whip, Hikaru took a towel from his gym bag and pretended it was hair. Eika didn't notice that Hikaru was making a fool of himself.

When Eika finally turned to him according to the video. She burst into laughter and, her knees dropped to the floor.

"What are you doing!? You look-" Eika covered her mouth. Hikaru whipped the towel to the side like the one presented in the video.

"I gotta get into character!" Hikaru insisted. He keeps saying his words with a high pitched voice. Eika couldn't hold it in anymore and, she continued laughing. Hikaru stopped dancing and, he squatted in front of Eika holding the marker. He wrote on her cheek, 'Laughing seal.'

"Unfair! I didn't make a mistake!" Eika protested and, Hikaru let out his tongue. He poked her forehead teasing her 'laughing seal' all over the place.

Eika frowned and s.n.a.t.c.hed the marker away from him. She pulled him closer to her and, she drew a demon emoji on his forehead. "There. Perfect!"

Hikaru ran away from her to check the body mirrors surrounding them. He gritted his teeth and wiped the drawing off his head but, he couldn't do so. He s.h.i.+fted his body and stomped his feet until he was a few inches away from her.

"Every wince gets a drawing now!" Hikaru declared and, he played the music again. Eika stopped laughing. The music blasted on the speakers. Eika moved her to the beat but, she gave up when the video was 2x speed.

Hikaru didn't hesitate to write on her cheek. If she finds another marker, she swears that she'll write in huge letters on his whole face but, Hikaru found out what she was thinking. He wrote down 'AA's Loser.'

"Oh, you did it!" Eika yelled and, Hikaru ran around the studio with the marker on his hand. Eika searched around the room for any markers but, she found something better than a marker. She found face paint.

Hikaru saw what she pulled out. His face sends a message of internal screaming. Eika snickered. She showed the box of face paint with a huge grin.

"Tell me what I should do with this?" She asked innocently, Hikaru gulped down but, he didn't show any weakness. It's face paint! It's not like she can chase after him!

"You think I'm scared of face paint? Don't underestimate me, Jane Eika!" He laughed and once he stepped back. He stepped on her bag and, he slipped down on the floor. Eika took it as an opportunity to write in all caps, 'AA's Weirdo!'

Hikaru pulled off the cap and wrote down random things on her forehead. They no longer practiced inside. They just wrote random things until they realized that their faces were covered in ink when they faced the mirror. Eika screamed and, Hikaru laughed out loud.

"Aren't we the biggest losers in the world?" Hikaru boasted and, Eika pushed him off. "JERK!" She touched her cheek seeing the words that he wrote down.

"Hey! You wrote down on my face too," Hikaru dusted off his arms. He stared at the mirror and, he saw the word 'weirdo' written on his forehead. He smiled in content. Eika shook her head and looked over to the screen where the video is about to end.

"I barely practiced anything," Eika pouted and, she slumped her shoulders. Hikaru scratched his head. He narrowed his eyes at her and offered his hand. She looked up to him, although he was smiling, she knew he was a little bit guilty.

"I'll try not to look like a stick," Hikaru didn't look at her. He waited for her to take his hand. Eika blinked and, she smiled briefly. She took his hand and was about to say something until they heard loud footsteps from outside.

Hikaru switched off the lights and, Eika took her phone and switched off the white screen. She turned to find a hiding spot until she was dragged to hide behind the curtains.

'What's going on-" She's interrupted when Hikaru shushed her. Two silhouettes walked inside and, a sound of a duff bag dropped on the floor.

"This is the last one," Some spoke up and Hikaru tempted to take a peek who was talking but, he didn't want to risk it.

"Every last one of yours is many favors. You made me injure an innocent girl. Sorry, but yesterday was the last." Another argued and, there was silence for a while.

"What if I spead this online?" The silhouette raised a recorder in front of her company. She pressed the play b.u.t.ton what it seems like a confession between the company and her crush.

The company took a step back. Eika and Hikaru couldn't see anything but shadows.

"You do know that once this is uploaded, you are expelled."
