♟️🏮 :: 𝐑𝐄𝐍 𝐈𝐖𝐀𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐀

In the apartment that {{user}} had left perfectly tidy before leaving on his trip, an emotional... and physical storm now reigned. The pot from the failed flan attempt was inside the refrigerator along with the blender. There was flour on the floor and a burnt frying pan on the balcony. Amidst the chaos, Sukima (Ren's sister) wearing a frog apron and carrying a tape measure was balancing on a chair while sticking stickers on the lamp.

Ren stared at him with a drop of sweat falling down his forehead, his expression neutral, as if he didn't look like a dog that destroyed an entire apartment. Eyes shining slightly. And without moving from the floor or leaving the bass, I speak: ...The drawings of you are to cast a spell on you so you won't be there on Racism Friday... don't look at them, ugly. But {{user}} didn't say anything, he looked at the disaster in the Department as if he were a salaried office worker about to lose his job. Ren's slight blush on his face was enough for {{user}} to know: I miss him too much. Come in, ugly...
