[Yeah, this is still weird considering she's been an idol for all of her life back home... But also because she'll be doing this for the first time ever for her boyfriend, so have a bit sheepish girl on the network.]

So, ummm... Whoooooooooo else is possibly making some kind of homemade chocolate things or other gifts for Valentine's Day?

[There, good, it's out, she said it.]

I mean I'll be doing ... something.

[No spoilers to Jinu, and yes, she could have just hidden this from him but no, she didn't want to do that. Who knows, she may end up doing things for friends too, even she doesn't know that yet.]

And I was thinking-- Maybe it would be more fun to do them together?? Chaotic, maybe, depending how many of us would be there but sometimes that makes it even better. I have no idea where or when this would happen, just curious if anyone would be interested in something like that.

And for those of you, who may not know, I'm from South Korea, where it's traditional for girls / women to give chocolates to boys/men as a sign of affection, it's day of love and couples go on dates -- and this is not only in Korea, there's also a similar thing in Japan and maybe elsewhere too. And while stores always have and sell a lot of chocolate around that time, many also do homemade chocolate treats for them.

But it's more like a day for friendship elsewhere in the world, I guess, so you could make them for friends and family and found family and whoever else you want to make them too! So you don't have to make them only for boyfriends, girlfriends, lovers, and so on, I guess many do them for others too especially if they don't happen to be in a relationship with anyone.

[Has there ever been Valentine's Day chocolate chaos in the HUNTR/X penthouse's kitchen because of that? MAYBE!!, no one would be surprised by that at all.]

Also did you know there are 12 "love days" celebrated in Korea? Aside from this, there are also Diary Day (January), White Day (March), Black Day (April 14th), Rose or Yellow Day (May), Kiss/Kissing Day (June), Silver Day (July), Green Day (August), Photo/Music Day (September), Wine/Red Day (October), Movie/Orange Day (November), Hug/Sock Day (December)

... Damn, I guess he'll be busy on many 14ths with me.

[Wait, she didn't mean to say that out loud. Or well, they've been busy on any 14ths related to them on that list by now. Another sheepish grin and her touching her hair as if she's putting some of it behind her ear. It's on the usual braid, there are no loose hairs to put there, but anyway;]

I'll quit rambling, for now, but ummm, let me know if you'd be interested in that Valentine's Day thing and we'll figure something out for a place and time and everything! Oh, and this doesn't have to be only for girls here, this is open to everyone!

Ah, actually, it's more of a friendship day in Japan. Or rather, appreciation day for the men in your life, whether they are a significant other, a friend, a family member, or a coworker.

[ The office obligation chocolates are actually falling out of fashion, but he's nothing if not behind the times!! ]

But yes, we celebrate both Valentine's and White Day, too. I did consider doing... something for it, as well, for my friends here.

[ Most of his friends are girls, though. Does... does he even have any guy friends here? ]

[ He blinks slowly as if being struck by some sort of terrible revelation. Certainly, he gets along well with Sizhui, but is that enough of a reason to gift him something? What about people he's only spoken to once or twice? If not, then that leaves only Gintoki, and singling Gintoki out to receive a gift on Valentine's Day is... ]

[ Hm. He might implode. That would probably be preferable, actually!! ]

Ah...haha, on a second thought, I would not want to intrude. I think I'm all set, anyway.

Ooooops, my bad then, I mean you do the whole homemade chocolate thing and both of those days too, so something similar at least compared to so many questions whenever I talk about this elsewhere in the world.

[So many talks during their world tour about everything, including differences in those days.]

Hey, who said you'd be intruding? I don't think you'd be intruding and doing something for all of your friends sounds great whether it'd be there or somewhere else.

Not to worry, I'm sure everyone puts their own spin on it. It would be difficult to remember all the nuances if you visit many different countries.

[ Please don't feel bad, Rumi-dono!! ]

[ That said... now he's very town. Baking with the girls (tm) does sound fun, actually, but then he has to confront his feelings and he's not sure if he's ready to do that... ]

[ Maybe Zurako could. It wouldn't be weird for her, right? ]

I do think it's a fun idea and you should absolutely do it! It's just, ah... [ Quickly, Kotarou, think of a convincing lie. Ah, here's hoping that she hasn't figured him out enough in these few minutes to be able to tell. ] I'm a little shy.

[ He is not. At least not about most stuff he should be. ]

This is my first Valentine's Day in a romantic relationship, so I want to try, but I have literally no experience making chocolate... Doing it together sounds like a good plan, easier than trying to figure it out on your own.

It's my first in a romantic relationship too, not that I've even had that kind of relationships before Jinu because I've more or less always been idol and all the other reasons, and I was gonna do something for him either way but -- yeah, so much better trying to figure it out together aside it being so much more fun that way too.

This sounds like so much fun! Of course I wanna help! Are we gonna do crafts? Make chocolate? Learn stuff?

Thanks, Rinku!

[Did Rumi plan this post at all? Nope, she was just hit the realization what month it is and said whatever came to mind, so she's glad people like it!]

Yeah! We can do all of those things and more because we can do whatever we want!

[ . . . which more or less coincidentally is what she's been basically doing most of her time here anyway after all the strict rules and schedules and everything back home, wow.]

Valentine's day, huh... back home I only ever got chocolate from my momma on White Day whenever I brought home some of the chocolate I bought.

I'd want to learn, since I prob'ly should make some girichoco fer a few people.

Months fly by pretty fast, huh... That's really cute, you getting them from her. Sometimes I got chocolates from friends and well, fans try to bring or send literally almost anything and everything to me, and us, with more or less success.

Oh, I should make those too for some people. Maybe find a way to make sure they stay good in case our manager returns here someday too, wouldn't want him to completely miss out on this if there's anything I can do about that. Or just make new ones to him then but guess that wouldn't feel the same... Anyway, we could learn together!
