I Helped Him

Masao : What's that one about?"

Hannah : Gah! Masao, don't sneak up on me like that!

Masao : Sorry, you just looked really focused. I wanted to see what you were looking at.

Hannah : Tap me on the shoulder next time like a normal person.

Masao has a candy apple in one hand, and he waves it dismissively.

Masao : I will, I will.

Hannah : And I don't know what this post is about yet. Give me a second.

It's a picture Jeon Jungkook posted of a really poorly knit tube.

I read the post out for Masao so he stops reading over my shoulder.

Hannah : "Knitting is so hard. Can someone help me with this?"

Masao : That's not just some string?

Hannah : Well it's more of a sad tube, I think.

Masao : This is one of the people you talk with on social media, right?

I didn't told him it was Jungkook's post because Masao always annoys me while seeing his posts! On purpose. Since he know how much crazy I'm for Jungoo.

Hannah : Sort of? I follow him.

Masao : And you knit?

Hannah : You've seen me knit, Masao.

Masao : So you're in just the right place to help this guy.

Hannah : His feed is probably really busy, though. He might not even see my help.

Masao : Do you want him to post more sad tubes you have to look at?

Hannah : No. I'll try helping.

I shake a bit as I tap my phone's screen.

I decided to reply to the post.

The post doesn't have many replies yet, he might actually see mine.

What should I write...?

Dear Jungkook, slowly and patiently, corchet hooks are ideal for picking up dropped stitches. you could do it again!

Every other stitch in his weird tube was messed up, so I'll start there.

I run up against the character limit before I can finish explaining what a dropped stitch is.

Hannah : Ugh.

Masao : What's wrong?

Hannah : Sending someone an 18-part reply on knitting basics would be weird right?

Masao : Maybe? He did ask.

Hannah : I can't talk him to death, so...

Masao : You're just thinking out-loud at me aren't you?

Hannah : Yes.

Masao : Hah. I'm just going to eat this candy apple and nod when you talk, then.

Hannah : Suit yourself. I could link tutorials!

That way I can help without sending him a giant wall of text. I bounce on my feet while I search for the right tutorials to link Jungkook to.

Jungkook knits too!

And I'm talking to him about it!

Isabel : I've got my apple!

Masao : Ooh, which kind did you get?

Isabel : One of the caramel covered ones. I think we've got enough people ready now to go play some of the games. Are you still making posts, Hannah?

Hannah : Sort of.

I show her Jungkook's post and then what I replied.

Hannah : He made this, and I'm trying to make sure he never makes it again.

Isabel : You're helping Jungkook!

Hannah : I know!

Isabel : I hope he sees. Here, I'll lead the group over to a ring toss or something and then we'll sit nearby.

The game starts while I work on my reply.

Isabel : I can't believe he knits.

Hannah : it's exciting to share a hobby. Do you think two basic stitch tutorials and a how-to on picking the right yarn is enough to start?

Isabel : Does he really need all three?
