The Boys Group Chat


Dai asked a question within the group chat and all the boys are active and about to respond.

Lucky: I’ll go first.

Lucky: The girl I’m going for is Sara Inoue, I find her pretty and she’s hella flirty too. My type.

Nerdy: Time to bring out the files to showcase the CRB. ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛) 👉

Genkei: Pardon?

Kaito: Doesn’t that mean ‘Criminal Records Background’?

Nerdy: *uploads 3 photos of Sara Inoue*

DAI-DAI: WTF!!!!! 😱 😱 😱

Genkei: I’m lost for words.😶

Kaito: He must know her.

Nerdy: These are pictures I’ve collected from Sara Inoue.

Her CRB: Her ‘body count’ is two. (Body count means the number of people she has slept with.)

She can be flirty at times and there have been cases of her accidentally leading boys on.

Genkei: Yikes that’s a red flag 🚩

Lucky: Nope 🤪 That’s fine with me. I love the chase😝

Nerdy: She can be mistaken to have a nasty personality but she’s really polite.

She chose to study Criminology just like Lucky.

She has the average amount of friends but her best friend is called by her nickname ‘Mama V’.

She’s a real cock-blocker and a strong defense to break through. You may need a wingman to help assist you, so you can score when the defense is broken.

That’s all the data I’ve got on Sara Inoue.

Next,

Lucky: 🙎

Lucky: Nerdy, give me 50 reasons why I shouldn’t send your number to the police.

Nerdy: Because with my knowledge, you will successfully end up dating Sara. (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)👌

Lucky: 🤝

Genkei: It was that easy to sway you?! 😒

DAI-DAI: ANYWAY, MY TURN. THE GIRL I’M GOING FOR IS ASUKA NISHIKAWA, SHE’S IN FIRST - YEAR

Nerdy: *Uploads 5 photos of Asuka Nishikawa*

DAI-DAI: It’s okay Nerdy I’ve got this.

Nerdy: Asuka Nishikawa CRB:

DAI-DAI: No, I wanna say it!

Nerdy: Her body count is one from her one and only ex-boyfriend and they’d just come out from a break-up. She’s currently single.

DAI-DAI: HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT!?

Nerdy: She has a sweet loving personality like sunshine and flowers but she’s obsessed with make-up since she going to study Beauty Therapy.

DAI-DAI: YOU’RE TYPING TOO FAST. GIVE ME TIME TO TEXT!

Nerdy: She likes to keep a small circle of friends and likes to keep it tight with them.

DAI-DAI: HOW DO YOU TYPE THIS FAST!?

Nerdy: She’s very private

DAI-DAI: HEYYYY!

Nerdy: AND SHE LIKES TO MIND HER OWN BUSINESS.

DAI-DAI: DO YOU HAVE THIS COPIED AND YOU’RE JUST PASTING IT RIGHT NOW!? BECAUSE THERE’S NO WAY YOUR TYPING THIS FAST!

Nerdy: It will be hard for her to open up so soon due to her recent breakup.

Nerdy: *Uploads 2 photos of Hana Kiyama*

Lucky: How wow! She’s pretty!

DAI-DAI: 😍😍😍

Genkei: Damn… who would have thought someone like Kaito will go for someone with this caliber. I wouldn’t expect you to have good eyes 👌

Kaito: YOU TRYING TO SAY I’M BLIND!? ☠️ ☠️ ☠️

Genkei: No that’s not what I’m saying…

Genkei: Wait? Hold on? What does that emoji mean?! And why send three of them!?

Nerdy: Hana Kiyama is a first-year student who studies Sports Science.

Kaito: That’s the same as me! 😜

Nerdy: Alledgedlly she’s a virgin and doesn’t party out much but is major serious about her studies and sports.

Genkei: Huh? Allegedly?

DAI-DAI: What does that even mean?

Kaito: She’s into sports just like me! 😜

Nerdy: She’s not really into boys

Lucky: Oh? So she’s the same type as Genkei.

Genkei: Oi, what does that mean.

Nerdy: I don’t mean by romantically but in terms of in general since she’s always serious about her studies so she never has time to date.

Genkei: You purposely sent that message late, didn’t you Nerdy.

Nerdy: This might be difficult for you Kaito

Genkei: DIDN’T YOUUU!!!

Nerdy: I hardly got any relevant data on her.

Genkei: HEYY! STOP IGNORING ME!!!

Nerdy: But I’m sure it will work out since you both got something in common in sports so you should be good.

Kaito: Thanks, Nerd.

Genkei: 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

DAI-DAI: Don’t worry Genkei. We’ll get him back for this 👊

Genkei: 👊

Nerdy: Alright Genkei, your next.

Genkei:…

Nerdy: Genkei?

Genkei:…

Nerdy: What’s wrong with Genkei?

DAI-DAI: It’s you. You’re the problem.

Nerdy: No worries.

Nerdy: I already who he’s going anyway.

Nerdy: And it’s…

Nerdy: Nana Shima.

DAI-DAI: Yep, he’s got no chance 🙅‍♂️

Genkei: But we just did a bro's fist ☹️

DAI-DAI deleted a message.

DAI-DAI: Nope, can only see your fist.

Genkei: YOU TRAITOR 🤬

Kaito: You're after little Nana?

Genkei: You know her?

Kaito: Yeah, were childhood friends.

Genkei: Sweet… so do you think

Kaito: But I thought you would go for a dude since we know how you really are.

Genkei: 🖕

Nerdy: As I was rudely interrupted

Nerdy: *Uploads 10 photos of Nana Shima*

DAI-DAI: This just makes it worse for Genkei you know

Lucky: Wow! She’s looking pretty! Are you sure you can handle this one Genkei?

Nerdy: Nana Shima is a second year and she is too also a virgin.

DAI-DAI: She’s a virgin!?

Lucky: That just pushes her price even up

Genkei:…

Kaito: Lol.

Genkei: If you got something to say Kaito! Then say it!

Nerdy: She’s famous throughout the whole campus and you will find nobody that doesn’t know of her name. She’s got dozens of friends and has got friends in numerous friendship groups.

Kaito: Who would have thought little Nana was this popular?

Nerdy: She’s known to have the perfect personality which she’s filled with a bubbly spirit.

Genkei: Perfect.

Lucky: Bullshit.

Genkei: Huh?

Lucky: No one is perfect, don’t let that fool you.

Seeing the text of what Lucky just said, put a slight smirk on Genkei’s face of reassurance.

Nerdy: She’s a party girl to the core and is also super rich, she’s a materialistic and luxurious girl who likes the finest things in life and won’t settle for anything less. I also forgot to mention she can drive and owns a car.

Lucky: Genkei

Genkei: Yh

Lucky: You're fucked.

Nerdy: She studies Art & Design and to finish it off every guy on campus from first to third years all got their eyes set on her.

DAI-DAI: Well, of course, someone like her will be in demand in the market.

DAI-DAI: So what are you gonna do Genkei?

Nerdy: And she also rejected 100 guys up till now.

Genkei: You sent that message late on purpose… didn’t you.

Nerdy: (¬‿¬)

Genkei: Lucky do you really think I’ve got no chance? 🥺

DAI-DAI: Maybe you only TURN to stone from Ren since she’s scary, to begin with.

Lucky: And you can easily mistake Yoko as a human.

DAI-DAI: Hey Lucky, that’s RUDE.

Genkei: I wish what you guys are saying is true but this condition of mine has happened way before I came here and happened a lot in high school.

DAI-DAI: Oh.

Lucky: ツ

Lucky: Are you sure you wouldn’t suck d**k for free?

Kaito: 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

DAI-DAI: GOOD ONE LUCKY 😂 😂

Nerdy: (👍≖‿‿≖)👍 👍(≖‿‿≖👍)

Genkei: SCREW YOU GUYS ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗

Genkei: YOU GUYS ARE JUST HURT AND JEALOUS THAT THE GIRL I’M GOING FOR IS THE BEST LOOKING THAN ALL YOUR GIRLS!

Genkei: WATCH ME!

Genkei: YOU GUYS CAN DOUBT ME BUT WHEN I END UP MAKING HER MY GIRL WE WILL SEE WHO WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!!!!!!!

Lucky: But try not to turn to stone first.

Genkei: I’m going to bed.

Genkei got fed up with the constant jokes that he was about to throw his phone but then suddenly…

BING!

Genkei paused to throw his phone and checked one last time in the group chat.

Lucky: And like you said

Lucky: Make her your girl

Genkei's eyes widened as he was caught off guard by this message.

Lucky: Then laugh at us back as much as you want

Lucky: We will laugh with you too

Lucky: And don’t worry we will watch you all the way

Lucky: 😁

Genkei had flashbacks of the times he got teased and bullied in high school. At the time people who he thought were his friends will use him as entertainment for girls, used him to embarrass himself, set him up so that it can make everyone laugh, and treated him as an object to be laughed at because of his unusual condition. The only way for him to run away from it was to shut himself away in his room.

DAI-DAI: Let’s make a bet.

DAI-DAI: I bet 650,000 yen on Genkei 👊

Nerdy: According to myself, I bet 500,000 yen on Genkei 💪 (`▿´) 👊

Finally, that door of his past is being opened with the new friends he has gained and slowly Genkei began to tear up quietly as he brings the phone close to his chest.

Kaito: I bet my clothes on Genkei 👊

Lucky: I bet everything I own on Genkei 👊

A couple of minutes have passed and Genkei hasn’t replied. Lucky, Dai, Nerdy, and Kaito were doing their things.

Suddenly…

BING!

The four boys received a message.

Genkei: 👊

Genkei's eyes were slightly red and dried up since he finished crying. But there was a bright grin on his face when he sent that message. Lucky, Dai, Nerdy, and Kaito all had smiles on when seeing that message.

Nerdy: So I guess is now my turn

Nerdy: So the girl I’m going for is…

Lucky: It’s getting late now

Nerdy: I will make it quick

Lucky: So I’m going to bed

Nerdy: Wait, hold on

Lucky: Later

Nerdy: Are the rest of you guys there?

Kaito: Not me, I’m asleep.

Nerdy: You wouldn’t reply if you were asleep!

Kaito: I’m typing with my eyes closed

Kaito: See ya

Nerdy: Dai and Genkei, I hope you two are still awake

Nerdy: What I’m going to say will be very quick

DAI-DAI: Hiya Nerdy

Nerdy: You almost got me there. I thought you’d be asleep.

Genkei: Should we remind him Dai?

Nerdy: What are you talking about?

DAI-DAI: If you scroll up in the chat

DAI-DAI: YOU WILL Remember how you were ignoring both I and Genkei

Nerdy didn’t reply within minutes.

Genkei: Huh?

Genkei: All of a sudden is taking you a while to reply now.

Nerdy: Sorry.

DAI-DAI: SORRY FOR YOURSELF

Genkei: Bitch.

Nerdy: Wait!

Nerdy: Guys!

Nerdy: Guysssss!!!!!!!

Nerdy: I said I’m sorry!!!

Nerdy: Damn it!

Nerdy: Hmm?

Nerdy: Would the audience/readers like to hear the girl I’m going for?

No, they don’t and goodnight.
