kozvme | Event Story – LOST FOUND, ch. 14

Jude: I hope you can come with me to a party,

Bianchi: ... A party?

Jude: Don't worry. I've confirmed it counts as community service.

It seems like a pretty ordinary party, but I hear it's actually a charity gala aimed at raising funds.

You didn't go to prom in the end, right? I don't know if this can replace it, but let's go together.

Bianchi: ...!

Jude: If it's for community service, one day should be fine, right?

Is it really so bad to take a day just for yourself?
Bianchi: ......

Jude: By the way, I'm planning to go even if you say no.
But I have no idea what to wear, so I need some advice on that.

Bianchi: ... You sure know how to pick your words to make it impossible for me to say no, huh?

Seriously...

Alright, count me in. I should make one last memory during my student years.

Jude: Bianchi...!

Jude: ーAt last, I can see. Bianchi, you never disappoint.

Bianchi: That has nothing to do with me. And of course you can see. Everything feels much more open now, in terms of sight.
Oh, hold on a second. Let me fix up your collar a little... just stay still for me, okay?

Jude: Alright.

Bianchi: ... Just a little change, but it's the little things that matter, right?

Alright, all set! Let's get moving!

Jude: Yeahー

Party Guest A: Hey, look over there! Who are those two...? Are they models or something?

Party Guest B: What a good-looking couple... Wait, they're both men? Hmm, I don't know! Either way, they're both stunning!

Party Guest C: Is this what it means to be picture-perfect? I want to take a photo with them... Actually, no, let me just take a photo of them!

Party Guest D: T- True gems of the nation...

Bianchi: Jude, your face looks pretty stiff. How about trying to smile a bit?

Jude: Okay, Bianchi.

Party Guests: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!??

Bianchi: Wow, what a response... Well, I kind of expected it.
I wonder if it's okay for us to get this much attention, we're not even celebrities?

Jude: It's all good, isn't it? The commotion is just proof of how good you are.

The outfits, the hair and makeup, everything is so on point that it's no surprise people are noticing.

Bianchi: A real smooth-talker...
... But tell me, are you actually enjoying yourself?

Jude: Yes, I am. Walking side by side with you, Bianchi, makes me feel like this is the happiest I've ever been.

Bianchi: You're really stretching it...

Jude: It's the truth.

Bianchi: ... Well, if that's the case, you played me like a fiddle.

But hey, even though the guy by my side is weird... I'm also really enjoying myself.

ーThank you, Jude.
