WHAT'S GOING ON?
I WOND- ER WHAT HE WANTS...
WELL, UM...
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD HELP ME SORT THROUGH MY CLOTHES...
WAIT, IS IT REALLY OKAY FOR ME TO JUST WALK INTO YOUR DRESSING ROOM?
BESIDES, SORTING CLOTHES... ARE YOU ALREADY PULLING OUT YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE?
NO...
IT'S JUST THAT NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT ME ANYMORE.
COULD YOU STACK ANYTHING SMALLER THAN THIS PIECE OVER HERE?
GOT IT~
HMM, NOW THAT I TAKE A CLOSER LOOK...
...HE REALLY HAS BULKED UP OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS.
HE LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON COMPARED TO WHEN WE FIRST MET.
DID HE GET THIS BUILT IN JUST A FEW WEEKS?
BUT ISN'T THIS SUCH A WASTE?
THESE ALL LOOK BRAND NEW!
You should totally sell them secondhand!
I ALWAYS DONATE MY OLD CLOTHES EVERY SEASON, SO I WAS JUST PLANNING TO DO THAT AGAIN.
THESE ARE ALL HIGH-END DESIGNER BRANDS... YOU'D REALLY MAKE A FORTUNE SELL- ING THEM.
I GUESS RICH PEOPLE REALLY ARE BUILT DIFFERENTLY?
PLEASE DON'T TEASE ME...
BESIDES, IT'S NOT EVEN MONEY I EARNED.
BY ANY CHANCE, MAY I ASK WHAT YOUR PARENTS DID FOR A LIVING?
NOT AT ALL. THEY...
SANG A LITTLE, BUT THEY MAINLY WORKED AS SONGWRITERS AND COMPOSERS.
WOAH~ ARE THERE ANY TRACKS I MIGHT KNOW?
IF I HAD TO PICK THEIR BIGGEST HIT...
HAVE YOU HEARD OF "MERRY HAPPY MERRY CHRISTMAS"?
?!!!
WAIT, YOU KNOW THAT SONG? THAT'S...
THAT SONG BLASTS ON EVERY SINGLE STREET CORNER EVERY WINTER!!!!
IS THERE ANYONE IN THE COUNTRY WHO DOESN'T KNOW IT?!
IS IT REALLY THAT BIG?
IT'S PRACTIC- ALLY THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF WINTER!!
HOLY CRAP. HE'S LITERALLY LIVING OFF LEGENDARY ROYALTY MONEY.
...IDO,
I TAKE BACK CALLING YOU WASTEFUL.
Society needs big spenders like you to keep the economy afloat...
WOW, HE BASICALLY CLEARED OUT HIS ENTIRE CLOSET.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED A WHOLE NEW WARDROBE AT THIS RATE.
AH, I ALREADY ASKED MANAGER SONG TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PICK THEM OUT YOURSELF?
NAH, I'M FINE WEARING WHATEVER.
NO, BUT IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY, WHY DID YOU SPEND SO MUCH EFFORT PICKING OUT MY CLOTHES AND SHOES?!
WELL... THOSE WERE GIFTS. YOU HAVE TO PUT REAL THOUGHT INTO GIFTS.
GOOD GRIEF...
THEN LET'S GO SHOPPING TOGETHER NEXT TIME. I'LL HELP YOU PICK OUT A KILLER WARDROBE!
I'D REALLY APPRECIATE THAT... BUT ARE YOU SURE I'M NOT BEING A NUISANCE?
COME ON, NOT AT ALL! I'VE GOTTA PULL MY WEIGHT AROUND HERE ANYWAY.
OH, AND!
ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME WE DROPP- ED THE FORMAL SPEECH?
C-CASUAL SPEECH?
LIKE... HOW...?
YOU KNOW, JUST TALK CA- SUALLY-
TALK CASUALLY?!!
BUT DABIN, YOU'RE OLDER THAN ME! HOW COULD I POSSIBLY TALK INFORMALLY TO-
Wait, so I can speak casually to you too, right?!
AH, WELL, SINCE DABIN WAS USING FORMAL SPEECH WITH ME THIS WHOLE TIME...
HMM...
SHE PROBABLY FEELS MORE COMFORT- ABLE IF WE DROP THE FORMALITY, RIGHT?
...GOT IT, DABIN.
...PFFT!
WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO STIFF~?
SPEAK NORMALLY IF IT FEELS TOO WEIRD, IDO.
ANYWAY, I'M GONNA HEAD OUT NOW!
N-NO, I MEAN-
UH, YEAH...
??
????
IDO HASN'T REALLY HAD FRIENDS HIS OWN AGE, SO SPEAKING CASUALLY MUST FEEL AWKWARD FOR HIM.
IT'D BE NICE IF I COULD BECOME A FRIEND HE CAN RELY ON...
I FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOTTEN CLOSER, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I STILL CAN'T QUITE READ HIM~
?!!
I'M FALLING!!!
MA'AM! ARE YOU OKAY?!
AH-
WHOA- WHOA- WHOA-
Y-YEP!
OH DEAR, THE FLOOR HASN'T COMPLETELY DRIED YET.
I- I-IS THAT SO??
UGH, THIS IS SO EMBARA- SSING...
...MA'AM?
ARE YOU REALLY ALRIGHT?
CLEAN HOME CARE
In You and I living in one house Chapter 8, Dabin helps Ido sort through his clothes and notices how quickly he has bulked up in just a few days. As the now too-small expensive designer clothes are set aside for donation, it is revealed that Ido's parents composed the famous winter song Merry Happy Merry Christmas. The chapter follows their growing closeness through attempts to switch to casual speech and Dabin slipping on a wet floor.
