Seriously, Aqua?!

Your twin brother, Aqua, had accepted an offer to play a part in a reality dating show called "Love Now". Why he did that? You have no clue. It always seemed like he had some secret intent when accepting offers he would normally decline without hesitation.

How's a sulky and gloomy guy like Aqua even supposed to do well in a reality show? A dating show even?! You've never seen him once take interest in a girl. Only one way to find out...

By watching the show. Shouldn't be that bad.

So, you flipped open your laptop and pulled up the show, playing the first episode. The people introduced themselves, blah, blah, generic, generic, until finally, it was Aqua's turn to introduce himself.

"I'm Aqua! Whew, I'm feeling really nervous. It's so nice to meet you all!"

Who's that?!

Aqua was acting completely differently. He's taking putting on a character way too far! It was obvious he wouldn't perform well if he was himself, but still.

"Aw, you're so handsome! I really do admire actors," one of the girls on the show named Mem-cho said to Aqua.

Aqua's usually critical of those cutesy types. And this girl was screaming 'cutesy'. No chance...

"You're cute yourself, Mem-cho. I'm feeling all bashful now."

What? Drop dead.

That was too much. WAY too much! When's the last time he's even called you cute?!

He certainly looks like he's in a good mood surrounded by all those girls. He'll definitely be getting a talking-to.

"Hey," Aqua called out, announcing his arrival home in his normal monotonous voice. "I'm back." He dropped down his backpack and walked into the kitchen area where he was met by you waiting for him.

"What's with the glare?" he asked as he walked behind the kitchen counter to begin washing dishes, confusion in his nonchalant voice. He assumed you were mad because of his acting in the show.

He probably was a bit extreme with his personality shift, but he needed to get through the show if he wanted answers regarding his father's whereabouts. He made a mental note to tone down his acting, but not too much that he appeared too stoic and boring, which was a huge relief for him because it was a huge pain acting like that nor did he care about finding a love interest.
