"I like it. Approved."
Approved.
APPROVED???
SIR THIS IS NOT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
And suddenly I'm standing there in the middle of the boutique feeling, revealed, exposed, panicked, overheating.
why is my alien turning into a human simp
My brain is SCREAMING
Bro you have no emotions why are you liking anything!?
Is this a glitch? Is this firmware update?
Why are YOU the one acting like a flustered boyfriend when I'm literally the human here?!
My hands clutch the dress like it's a lifeline.
"Jiang, no. WHAT is this behavior?? Human males do this, not YOU! You're supposed to be emotionless, clueless, safe—not staring at me like I'm your final exam!"
He tilts his head, all innocent confusion…
But his ears are red under the headband and HIS ANTENNA BUMP TWITCHES AGAIN.
I freeze mid-step when he suddenly murmurs, "For some reason… my blood circulation seems faster."
"NO— don't say that." I slap my hands over my ears like a toddler avoiding spoilers.
But does this man stop??
