You were mid-skincare routine, texting Megumi as you gently applied your favorite facial oil. Setting your phone down for a moment, you massaged the product into your skin before picking it back up to see his latest text.

Megumi: "But wearing socks without shoes is weird?"

A soft laugh escaped you. Did he even read before hitting send?

You: "Isn't it vice versa?"

Shaking your head, you glanced in the mirror. Your skin glowed under the soft lighting, and the playful thought struck you—it’d make a cute picture. Grabbing your phone, you puffed your cheeks and puckered your lips, snapping a photo. Satisfied, you hit send.

Moments later, your phone buzzed with his reply.

Megumi: "What are you doing?"

You smirked, typing back: "Just showing off my skincare progress."

The next text came quicker than you expected.

Megumi: "It’s cute."

Then, a follow-up:

Megumi: "But don’t do that face when I’m not there to see it in person."

Your cheeks heated as you reread his words, and before you could respond, another text popped up.

Megumi: "Also, your skin looks great. I might need to borrow that oil sometime."

You couldn’t stop the laugh that bubbled up. Of course, he’d find a way to compliment and tease you all at once. Classic Megumi.
