Honestly, I don't think I am. And I can't lie to you and say differently. And I don't even know if I can explain it to him. What he saw was...we'll just say it's not one of my prouder moments.
[ooc: when Zai comes by, Osamu is going to sit down and tell him EVERYTHING. about his debt and about the stripper job and just sort of lay it out there for him]
Pray? I mean, if I lose my job teaching, I can just go and do the other thing full time...but I don't want to. I love teaching. I love coaching. I don't want to give that up for anything. You understand that, right?
And at least it's Kin and not someone else. With my bad luck, it could have been some real pervert that would have blackmailed me for sexual favors in exchange for their silence.
[ooc: which WAS an idea at one point until I decided not to torture poor Osamu]
You got it, man. I don't want you to lose your job, either. And there's no openings at Hyoutei you could try for, either. They were willing to overlook my previous career because I quit, but I don't know that you'd have the same luck.
I have read this several times now and fail to understand. And without understanding I would suppose that my next question has the potential to sound strange.
My question to you is this; What are you doing that you are so ashamed of? And if you are ashamed of what it is you are doing... why do you continue to do it?
I really can't answer that question. At least not the first one. The second though, I can answer. Though it'll make even less sense.
I have to.
What he saw was not my choice but it is my responsibility and I must live with it. All I can do is hope he understands and that I haven't completely destroyed his image of his weird coach.
Is not the current situation one of regret? You regret being found out doing something that I imagine you know you should not, correct? And if you have done something to harm a young mans image of you, will you not regret that?
I also realise that this is of no concern of mine and I am intruding where I do not belong and giving opinions that were not asked for. My apologise.
It is. Gin. It's the first time I've ever regretted anything. It's not a feeling I enjoy. And I know without a doubt he's never going to be able to look at me the same way again. Hell, he might not even be able to look at me at all.
.... Gin. Don't apologize. I'm sure your concern is warranted as a friend because I put that out there were everyone could see.

Hikaru. You have enough to worry about. With Senri and Kenya and the baby. Worry about them. Your old sensei will figure it out.

[ooc: He's joking. He thinks Kin caught Osamu at something embarrassing. This time he's the clueless one.]

I haven't been that man for a long timeI suppose you have a point.
I don't think I've ever lived with regret, ever. I suppose I shouldn't start now. Though that doesn't change the current situation.

Perhaps. Or perhaps not. My apology stands.

Then I accept your apology. And I apologize to you as well. Because I don't want to explain more to make it less confusing to you.
