The Life Of Normal-Taro

Evening of the same day. Taro had a bath—which technically shouldn't be called a bath, however called that so people won't be confused. Like, if someone heard them say that Taro was wiping his body with dry clothes, people will surely think of it as extremely weird.

After the said "bath", Taro was just laying flat on the ground, when he fondly remembered his conversation with Shivani and felt nostalgic about it. He was acting as if the conversation he had just hours earlier was something that happened decades ago, which was weird.

What was more weird was that the guy was down on the dirty ground that the plankton was yet to clean. Although he came to learn about that later on, he didn't shy away and just remained on the ground.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team was back from their various duties as well and they were all in the living room alongside Taro—just not on the ground. The only creature that accompanied him on the ground was M'Baku and those two looked like they were having fun because the ground was cold.

"Why can't you just sit in a chair or something?" The plankton asked, looking disgusted by Taro's actions.

"Well, if I'm to do that M'Baku here will feel lonely being the only person on the ground. You don't wanna bring out any inferiority complex in him, right?" Taro spoke, almost in a reprimanding tone.

"Ah, I don't have a problem with being here alone. Don't mind my inferiority complex. I'm fine like this." M'Baku replied.

He wasn't lying about it though. Previously he used to have a superiority complex. However, that was curbed in by the actions his roommates did to John that day. What replaced it was a crippling inferiority complex. However, he felt it as simple living with that, since he wouldn't be destroyed because he had an inferiority complex, while the other case was totally possible.

"This guy! Don't worry, bruv. I'll be here with you." He replied.

"That's kinda like the main problem." M'Baku mumbled.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Thankfully, Taro did not heard M'Baku's words.

"Ha… I said nothing. Don't worry about it." The canino assured him.

"I see." Taro gave off a suspicious look towards him for a few good seconds, however quickly changed the topic once he saw M'Baku's expressionless face. "Hey, guys! I had like a really interesting conversation with Shivani-" He was about to talk about the full event that occurred between them, but was stopped by two people.

"You had an interesting conversation with Shivani? When did that happen?" M'Baku and Thankappan simultaneously asked.

"Well, while our way back to the Holy Land." Taro replied.

"Liar! We were with you on your way back here!" Thankappan countered his reply with photographic evidence of Shivani.

"Wait, that's Shivani." Taro replied as he tried his best to find him in a super creepy close up shot of their neighbor. He just took someone's picture without consent, which would be considered creepy by most.

"Umm,, well yea. But can't you see yourself in the image?" Thankappan asked, while shoving the evidence into his face.

"That's literally a head shot of Shivani." Taro replied.

"But, you see that fabric right over there." Thankappan spoke as he pointed at the farthest corner of the image where a small black fabric was seen. "Well, that's you." He said as if there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Taro cleared his throat. "Even though the evidence shown here is criminally inconclusive, I will agree with the statement that he made that I was with the lads when we came back since there's a good amount of eyewitnesses to confirm that." He answered.

"Well, then. How come you had this 'interesting chat' of yours with Shivani?" Thankappan asked.

"Ah, we had it in the corridor." Taro gave out an honest reply.

"Of course! The infinite corridor. I should've thought of that." Thankappan sighed.

"Infinite corridor?" Taro tilted his head in confusion upon hearing this.

"You know about it, right? Like how if you have someone to converse with on that corridor, it'll never end." Thankappan tried saying it in a spooky tone, however no one found it spooky.

"Huh. Even though I know about that, I never knew that someone called it the infinite corridor." Taro replied.

"That might probably be because no one actually does call it an infinite corridor." He replied.

"Is that something you made up yourself?" Taro asked.

"Yup." Thankappan spoke in a very shy tone.

"No wonder why that sounded so shit." Taro said bluntly, which kinda hurt the MIB agent's emotions.

"Hey! It's cool though! There are even more lamer named stuff on this Earth." He argued.

"Like the name Thankappan?" Taro smirked as he spoke.

"Again, it's not me who picked this God awful name!" Thankappan argued.

"No matter. You talked about lamer named stuff, so I pointed you to it. Not a big deal at all." Taro shrugged after he learned that Thankappan was sufficiently hurt.

This time around, the MIB agent decided not to talk against the Wadorian, because he felt like he might lose in an argument against him. However, he continued believing that infinite corridor was a cool name, no matter what others said.

"So, you never said what conversation you two had." M'Baku came in worrying that Thankappan might jump in with something else yet again which may prolong the event description from Taro.

"Ah, it was about love and stuff. Did you know that she had a crush on someone in my class?" He chuckled as he spoke.

"Who the hell is he?" Thankappan asked with all the seriousness.

"What are you gonna do if you knew about it?" Taro asked back.

"Break his bones, maybe?" Thankappan suggested.

"Don't worry about it. He rejected her when she asked him out on a date." Taro replied.

"Hmm, all the more reasons to break his damn bones. Who does he think he is?" Thankappan spoke as he cracked his knuckles.

"You disgust me." Taro said out of nowhere, thinking about his actions towards Shivani.

"Thank you." Thankappan took it as a compliment, to which Taro could only sigh.

"So, what's the point of telling us this?" The rational plankton jumped into the conversation and had a doubtful look on his face.contemporary romance
