Private Finished Lie-lac

At first, Carmin just squinted at him, it took a few seconds for that to sink in. Then he winced and took a step backwards, looking down at the ground. "What the hell, how-" There were a lot of things going through his head, but more than anything he just felt betrayed. He had a lot that he wanted to say, but he held it in, mostly because he'd just learned that Junchi was a kid.

He took a deep breath in then out, letting his face drop to a more blank expression and tilting his eyes back up to Junchi. "I'm an adult who looks like a child, I'm not comfortable being friends with you. I'm busy, I have to go and..." His eyes seemed to get a little glossy and his hands were clenched, but otherwise he stayed composed. "I want to be alone."

Carmin bit his lip as Junchi ran away. The words he'd used weren't exactly true. Especially the part about being alone, he'd spent way too much time alone with himself to want that anymore.

Even if it was fake, it felt nice for the little bit that he'd thought Junchi was similar. He kinda wished that Junchi had never told him and that the lie would've just gone on.

He let out a sigh, then unzipped his backpack and put his things away. He didn't actually have anywhere he needed to be either, but figured it was probably a good idea to move along. Perhaps he'd go to town and try to buy makeup, after all, it was worth a shot at least and nobody would need to see.
