[ Normally, the old him would never have commented on Hiyori's behaviour, but times have changed. Now he enjoys it whenever Hiyori acts this way.

As for the fan comments, Jun nods, acknowledging that Hiyori is right. There's something a little different about when someone who isn't a fan takes an interest. It's not quite the same as dealing with "normal" fans. He can't quite put his finger on how it's different, but the distinction is clear enough to him to warrant the feeling. ]

'Course I know that! But I'm just thinkin' it's different 'cause Leona's different. [ With him not exactly being a "real" fan. ] Pretty sure being someone's favourite is more your thing, Ohii-san.

[ Which isn't a bad thing, it's just not Jun's thing. Despite how many times Hiyori's mentioned for Jun to work harder. Knowing a sleepover with fans was out of the question. Ibara would fry them alive! After all, it is far easier to sing songs about intimacy than to have a conversation about them. Case in point!

Right.. Jun never mentioned what had happened. He clears his throat, knowing he has no reason to feel guilty considering nothing happened between them. ]

Yeah, the Hearts game. [ He finally confirms. ] Well, I was sorta part of the problem. We were tryna get the string off, yeah~? Thought adding some lame romantic lines mighta done the trick, but my bright idea made me take it a lil' too far.

[ He shrugs before continuing. ]

But the string gave me an idea on how I'd confess to someone else... not that I'd wanna confess to someone else. [ Jun quickly adds, knowing confessing to Hiyori had been difficult enough to get out. ] Lemme think! What'd he say again? Something 'bout wanting to somehow bring me back home and understanding why guys like us are popular.

[ He rushes through the last part, thankful Hiyori sounded more inquisitive than anything else. ] Think he meant idols, though.
