[grant] you can have first dibs on trying. my family on all sides and in all countries have been too successful at matching people.
[henry] time to humble them?
[grant] besides, mama ong didn't get a chance with you. you figured it out a decade ago!
[henry] two decades ago if you count the time soobin and i crossed paths in vacation bible school and she kind of sort of ruined my watercolor painting of jesus.
[grant] isn't that crazy? the same girl you, uhhh, almost punched in a church is the same woman you fell in love with at a college cheese club meeting?
[henry] the enemies to lovers trope lives on.
[grant] you're basically a fanfiction. enemies to lovers plus soulmates because neither of you ever dated anyone else.
[grant] man, the universe is so weird. seven plus billion people on earth and you guys run into each other twice.
[henry] the first time was a total fluke, too. how were we at the same VBS when we didn't go to the same church or live in the same town? oh, and we didn't recognize each other from our first encounter until years into our adult relationship.
[insook] her family seems to have forgotten the incident, too. permanently, though.
[insook] which is good because i defended you when i shouldn't have and things got ugly.
[henry] you defended me?! mom, i threatened to punched someone. in a church. over nothing worth that level of aggression.
[insook] oh, not for that. that's unforgivable. you knew that. i punished you. but i defended you when soobin's mom insulted you. now don't worry - she likes you these days!
[insook] still, a parenting tip: you can never reason with a parent in an unreasonable state.
[henry] i could have gone without knowing that. i'm not going to bother asking what she said about me. i find her intimidating. she's like if your mom wasn't evil, grant.
[grant] you know, that's extremely hard to imagine. i'll just assume you mean rich and strict.
[insook] that would be about right. but she is nice! oh, look at the time. i have to go now, i'm sorry. i have book club soon!
[henry] that's fine! have fun. i'll call you back tomorrow.
[insook] of course. you two have fun as well! yes, have fun, sleep well, make sure you eat, and mind your health, grant.
[insook] by the way, i'm glad you're still best friends.
[henry] couldn't have it any other way. this guy's pretty cool.
[grant] i literally adore you.
[insook] i'm not surprised–just happy. a good friend is one of the only things in life that can be forever.
[insook] now don't forget to call me again! i love you kids.
[henry] i would never forget. love you.
[grant] i love you, too, mama ong! bye bye bye.

Y'ALL why the FUCK are the Mappa animators showing of the CORPSE of a DEAD FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL like teenage boys show off their Bugattis on tiktok. They got her ass at EVERY angle. They even added an INTERNAL SHOT from inside her popped fuckin' eyesocket PLEASE.
Mappa really dropped this at our feet like a cat brings dead fucking birds. That's the energy this emits. They're so proud of themselves.
If you REALLY want to dig in they even added "that one random item that's here for some reason that has literally nothing to do with cars but why not". Like people will just. Set their cat or a bottle of some expensive fancy brand of alcohol on top of their car and have a shot of it for. . . I don't know? An attention grab or something, EXEPT THE RANDOM ITEM IS JUST HER EYEBALL AFTER IT GOT SUPER SOAKERED OUT OF HER HEAD?? That's VILE man. This shit requires a life sentence MINIMUM. DAMN.
And then they have the AUDACITY to tease us that she might come back. I'VE SEEN THE NEW MANGA CHAPTERS they are NOT bringing her ass back (unless they pull a SIKE at the very end or something but come ON) but he looks so HOPEFUL I'm SICK.
GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU GEGE GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU GEGE GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU-
