ic chat

*sighs, ruefully plonking the spoonful into my mouth*
these disagreements will make our relationship stronger

You're missing a new whole world of flavor
Tsk tsk
-shakes my head playfully as i scoop some of the watermelon and eat it-

*tsks, lightly shaking my head*
and i thought i knew you, noona
if she's a good melon, she don't need any help

im--
splutters

Adding salt to watermelon makes it taste better tho!

*chuckles, miming squeezing a clown nose*
honk honk
*takes the spoon while nodding a bit too severely in agreement and scooping a chunk*
it was, it was a cultural reset. but more importantly, you're one of /those/ people junoona?
salt? say it aint so

I--
what?

Hey fruit ninja was cool. You gotta admit that~
And Jin unnie, do you have some salt?

getting you clowny was the point.
//shakes my head and hoists a drawer open, taking out spoons/
Come on. We'll eat the old fashioned way.

a cool party trick vs a sharp knife? c'mon, noona
*hoists myself up onto the clean side of the counter*
i'm here to be a jester, not fruit ninja if it was a guy

Hmm the winner will get an all you can eat buffet voucher?
-grins-

*scoffs, rinsing the coin and dropping it into my shirt's pocket*
I know when I'm outmatched, no way. Plus a third demonstration? That's gonna cost ya
*does the money gesture, rubbing my fingers together*
'cause it's gettin' clowny at this point

-stares at the process as Boum explained then to Jin, chuckling softly-
Why dont we have a showdown? A knife vs a coin

quietly puts the knife away, leaning on the counter with crossed arms and unreadable face

I think i missed a step in the process - will you do through it once again?

*beams, practically dropping the thing in the scramble to reorient into tutorial mode*
okay, so, it's super simple. like, crazy easy. you just have to make sure you cut through the rind as much as possible. rotate the watermelon while applying pressure with the coin, instead of trying to saw back and forth with the coin because it's not sharp enough for that, y'know? then, when you're done, you just separate the insides with a good whack!
*mimes the whole process with the lack of another fruit to cut, including the final karate chop*
it'll come right apart and you're eating good in no time flat

Really?
-stares at the coin then back at you-
How did you do it? You gotta teach me

doesn't it? you missed me opening it with this
*holds up the coin before tossing and catching it*
it was mad cool

-looks at thr split watermelon, my eyes widen in excitement already-
Wow that looks so juicy~

junoonaa, jin noona brought in a comically sized watermelon!
*gestures to the roughly split fruit sitting before me*

Helloooo~~

*feigns shock*
whaaat? i thought you were gonna hack me to pieces right here in the commons
and you didn't even take the compliment
*tuts lightly*
and we will! look, i'm already halfway 'round. the trick is basically rotating the watermelon while applying pressure, not moving the coin like a knife and tiring your hand out and eventually, you can juuust
*karate chops the cut line after finishing the rind cut, splitting the watermelon in two*
ta da~

its not for you, its for the melon.
//only squints, watching in silence/
will we be eating watermelon before retirement?

no need, put that awaay
*pulls a coin from my pocket, scurrying over to wash it*
you look really cool like that, though. you should play a serial killer
*slides the watermelon over into my reach and starts cutting into the rind with the coin*

takes a butcher knife to cut the watermelon open

prove me wrong.

i can't believe you would just assume the worst of me like that-
i'm hurt
*feigns pain, hand to my heart and all*
i would never joke about a man opening a watermelon with a coin

I feel loke this is leading either to a pun or a prank, so i advise you to be cautious.

yo, noona
*points at the fruit*
did you see the guy that opened one with just a coin?

qiietly brings in a watermelon the size of a small baby seal

*turns on heel, mid-peacock, to address the new entry with a grin*
Rin noona~ hi~

/takes a seat on one of empty couch, sighing a bit
