Our Japanese class was taking turns reading from a guide book on the bus. I was completely lost when it came to my turn; everything was so out of focus that I couldn’t tell if the book was actually written in Japanese or Chinese. “What’s 「食堂」?”, I pointed to the page. Everyone looked at me in shock. I accidentally made someone miss their stop by asking them for help.

The bus was gradually vacated as people got off at their stops. I realized that I shouldn’t currently be taking Japanese classes anyways as I had already graduated from high school. I had missed my stop ages ago.

We were invited to his basement which was furnished with red velvet chairs and carpeting. He opened his fridge in order to show us honey that he had frozen in ice cube trays and invited us to serve ourselves.

We were all watching something on the big screen and someone was hugging me very tightly from behind. It felt nice at first but soon it got hard for me to breathe and she wouldn’t let go until I pinched her thigh hard enough. I walked out of the theater room to pop a cube of frozen honey in my mouth before walking upstairs. People were having sex in one of the rooms down the hall.
