here's Jin's scenario. :)
Unanswered Questions and Regrets.
Upon entering the book store, Jin headed right towards the Manga and Comics section.
"Ahh, I hope they have the volume I want...", he quietly mumbled to himself.
When he got to the section, he saw a girl reaching up on her tiptoes. She was trying her hardest to reach a book on the second shelf from the top. Jin looked around wondering why she didn't use the stool they usually had around. There wasn't one. It wasn't in his nature to approach a girl but he felt bad seeing how distressed she looked. He walked up behind her and grabbed the manga she was trying to reach. He took a quick peak at the cover to see what it was before handing it to her. It was the ninth volume of Blood Lad. That peaked his interest.
"Ughh, why do they have to put them so high up", you grunted to yourself, trying your hardest to get the manga.
Someone reached over you and grabbed it.
"Oh no! Freaking ass hole! That's the one I wanted!", you thought angrily to yourself, as you turned around, ready for confrontation.
Suddenly, he handed it to you.
"Here you go", he said smiling gently.
"O-oh! Thank you!", you said surprised, feeling a little bad that you mentally cursed at him.
Taking a closer look, you saw that he was really attractive. Sorta tall, short, straight, dandy haircut, pretty eyes, cute, chubby lips, nice smile, and a clear, deep voice.
"He looks just like someone right out of an anime...", you thought.
"N-no problem", he said shyly, suddenly turning away, his face slightly flushed as he noticed you staring at him.
As Jin handed her the book, he thought that she had good taste in manga.
"Wow, she's totally my type", he thought when she looked up to thank him.
He quickly looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.
Because of the situation, his mind went completely blank; he forgot which manga he was looking for. So he decided to just look around at a few different ones until he remembered.
You kept stealing glances at him. He kept picking up different manga and putting them back shaking his head murmuring, 'no, I don't think this is it', to himself. You found that very cute.
While trying to remember which manga he initially came to get, he found his eyes naturally straying back to the girl. He wondered should he try to strike up a conversation, but then again he wasn't a very outgoing person. It'd probably just get awkward, so he decided against it.
'ahh!' he thought as he finally remembered. He was looking for the 25th volume Soul Eater that just came out about two weeks ago. Since it was the last volume, it would complete his collection.
"Yes, they have it!" he whispered excitedly, as he grabbed the manga.
You heard him whisper something so you looked over at him again. He was squatting on the floor holding a Soul Eater manga.
"I love that series!", you said to him without thinking.
You instantly feel embarrassed. He looked up at you surprised. You mentally kicked yourself.
He awkwardly laughed as he stood back up and said that he did too and since this was the last volume, his Soul Eater collection is now complete.
Jin was surprised when the girl suddenly said something to him. He told the girl about this being the last book and that his collection is now complete.
"So you like blood lad? Have you been watching the anime?" he asked her, remembering the manga he grabbed for her earlier.
"Yeah, it's getting really good, I really like it!", she said beaming.
"Are you watching it as well?".
"Yeah I just started it a few days ago, I like it so far", he answered.
'Wow, she's really pretty', he thought as she nodded her head and smiled.
He suddenly felt really self conscious and fell quiet again. She looked at him expectantly, like she wanted the conversation to continue, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything else to her. He was too shy.
"U-um, w-well, I have to get going now. I-it was nice meeting you", he stuttered, cutting off the conversation.
The atmosphere got really awkward, really quickly.
"O-oh, okay. Like wise", she replied with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
He quickly excused himself and walked off.
You couldn't help but wonder if you scared him. Did he notice you staring at him? Was it too obvious that you were interested in him? Did you give off a bad first impression? Were you being too persistent? You kept thinking of the possibilities as you watched him walk off. All you wanted to do was get to know him a little...
Jin finished paying for the manga. Why did he suddenly cut off the conversation like that? He was interested in her but he couldn't bring himself to talk to her. He felt pretty horrible, but there was nothing he could do at this point.
"She probably thinks I'm an asshole now anyways", he thought to himself.
He took one last look back to where the girl stood and left regrettably.
