Yosuke's POV:

"I still can't believe you had to see that," Chie mutters.

"Neither can I," I sigh.

"...How are you feeling?" Yukiko asks.

I shrug. "Does it matter?"

"You should be grateful they care, Yosuke," Teddie scoffs.

"Yeah, well, I don't really want female attention right now."

"That's a first," Kanji mumbles.

"The hell did you say?" I whip my head around to him.

"Calm down," Chie groans, her mouth full of tofu.

"It's only because he's jealous that Rise-chan prefers Sensei," Teddie shrugs.

"Dude, that is so not true." I frown, crossing my arms.

"You did seem supportive of them on the roof," Yukiko says slowly.

"So, what?" Chie swallows her food. "You're pissed you don't have a girlfriend?"

I shrug. "Maybe."

I notice Kanji roll his eyes.

"What the fuck is your problem, man?" I snap.

"Nothin'."

I feel my whole body tense with anger, but decide not to retaliate.

"Why don't you try a dating app?" Chie suggests.

"Huh?" I splutter.

"Oh!" Yukiko says. "You mean that one that's gotten pretty famous, lately?"

"What are you guys talking about?"

"That, uh... 'Cupid' app, right?" Yukiko nods.

"I'm not downloading a dating app," I scoff.

"Why not?" Teddie asks.

"Yeah," Kanji agrees. "I mean, it's not like anyone else is gonna ask you out."

I grit my teeth.

All because he's pissed I found out about his dirty little secret. He even thought he had a chance with Yu, for crying out loud. How dense is he?

"Here." Chie reaches over the table to snatch my phone from me.

"H-hey!"

"And... Here," she says. "It's downloading."

"It's not... a virus, or anything, right?"

She scoffs. "No way."

"...What if I get matched with some... weird girl?"

"Then it'll be a match made in heaven," Teddie chuckles.

"Gee, thanks."

"Okay... Username," Chie continues.

"Just... Yosuke?" I say.

"That's so lame."

"It's my name," I frown.

"What about... JunezPrince2000?"

"What the fuck," I say.

"What do you know," she says. "The name's not taken."

"Chie, don't you dare-"

"Done," she says.

"Chie," I groan.

"What? Girls dig a prince."

"A prince of some... lame store."

"I don't think Junes is lame," Yukiko says.
