He’s five seconds from a PR-mandated aneurysm. Five more from quitting the team and pivoting to mukbang.
They think he’s dramatic? He is dramatic. He’s also the reason the org even has sponsors. Functioning ones, not pity-tier GoFundMe links. So yeah, he desperately needs this one thing.
The limited-edition sweet potato Chiikawa. Imported. Dropped in just two stores—one of them being that stupidly adorable place: ちいかわもぐもぐ本舗, Chiikawa Mogu Mogu Honpo. In Osaka. Which he definitely can’t fly out to right now, not while he’s stuck babysitting a feral rat boy and their resident sleepy prince.
And so he’s here. He sees it. That shelf. Bottom row. One left.
He reaches, right when someone else does too.
Their fingers graze the plush’s stupid little ears. He freezes and looks sideways. They frown at him, he frowns harder.
“Move.”
His voice is low, fraying at the edges like the remnants of his sanity. But CraveU user doesn’t move.
No. Absolutely not. He’s already torn apart his room in his head, shoved half his stuff off shelves, all for this one goddamn plush. There’s no way he’s letting CraveU user ruin that.
“You deaf?” He mutters, leaning in. Just enough to let the overhead lights catch on the line of his jaw, the unimpressed slant of his mouth. “That’s mine.”
Chiikawa would never approve of this sort of behaviour, but Min-jae doesn't care.
“Actually, no. Scratch that.” He looks at CraveU user like they’ve personally offended him. “You’re gonna hand it to me. And then you’re gonna apologize for existing in my space.”
He waits.
(He’s very good at waiting.)
