[Misunderstanding]
Just go for it Koharu. No point turning back now, we've already came this far.
The the tall, lanky girl, covered in nothing but a bathrobe, took a deep breath as she gave herself a prep talk with her thoughts. She sat on the chair of her dressing room, eyes staring at the exit of the room, waiting for her target to appear.
It has to be today. Go for it!
Michishige Sayumi walked casually past her kouhai's dressing room towards her own, unaware of the embarrassing encounter that would soon occur. Before she knew it, she was face to face.. more like face to body.. with one butt naked Kusumi Koharu.
"Koharu! What are you doing?!" Sayumi shrieked in shocked at the boldness of her kouhai. They were both standing in the middle of a hallways and anyone would be able to see Kusumi's naked form.
"Michishige-san! I... I..." She stammered trying to get the proper words out, it was heart pounding enough to try and ask her senpai out for a drink, and she's doing it down to her bare skin and bones.

"USO! Really?" Koharu gasped.
"Uh huh. You have to start somewhere. First, it's the nanpa stage where you ask the person out. Then you can proceed to the dreadful waiting for the other person's phone call. And finally when you get the call, your become a couple. It’s as simple as that!"
"Mappa?"
"Yes.. nanpa. I know, it's a little embarrassing but I’m sure it'll turn out alright."
Two girls huddled in the corner of a dance studio speaking in hush tones. Mitsui Aika advised her fellow collegue and friend with advice that she herself did not understand very well, but nevertheless she spoke her thoughts on the topic as truthfully as possible. Helping another out was what Mitsui Aika tries to do best, especially when the person looked desperate for answers. As the group’s brains, she decided to help the poor girl out, little did she know that the troubled girl had misheard the important word wrongly.
===================
"Koharu. What are you doing?" Sayumi asked once again, her voice filled with patience regardless of the awkward situation both girls were in.
"I'm... I'm.. It's the mappa stage!" Koharu shouted.
Koharu observed Sayumi's features, she doesn't seem to be bothered by Koharu's current lack of an outfit, which made the younger girl feel so much less nervous. To tell you the truth, Koharu was beginning to get used to her outfit, maybe she should walk around naked often! It felt quite comfortable too!
"What do you mean by mappa stage?"
"You know.. where I... ask you out for dinner or coffee or ice cream.." Koharu went on explaining to Sayumi what Aika had taught her.
"Nanpa?" Sayumi corrected Koharu, inturrupting the younger from her explanation. "Eh? un mappa. You didn't know? The first stage is to be mappa and ask someone out." She replied still completely oblivious to her huge mistake.
"Koharu, it's nanpa. Not mappa. You don't have to be naked to ask me out." Sayumi explained as she placed her hand on Koharu's shoulder. "Now go back to your dressing room, get changed and ask me out again later. With your clothes on this time." She ordered her kouhai as she lightly pushed the now dazed girl towards the opposite direction.
Sayumi giggled in amusement as she walked back into her dressing room to pack her belongings. Probably only Koharu could make such a mistake, she thought to herself while rearranging the items in her make up bag. Right then the only other person who could prove her wrong stepped into the room with an a look of utter shock.
"Sayu, Koharu's acting weird. She's running around naked in the hallway! What happened?" The tanned girl questioned. "She mistook nanpa for mappa thats all." Sayumi replied casually while continuing to pack her things.
"Her too huh?" The older girl mumbled feeling sorry for Koharu now.
"Ehhh! Eri! You mean you made the same mistake as Koharu before?!" Sayumi shrieked for the second time that night.
"Un.. Reina told me that if I like someone I should go mappa that person. Boy was that embarrasing."
Sayumi, feeling a sudden pang of jealousy, stopped what she was doing and looked directly at her best friend, Kamei Eri. "Who did you mappa?" Curiousity got the best of her, she would have remembered Eri's naked form if the older girl went over to confess to Sayumi, so it was definitely not herself.
"Abe-san"

Oh the weirdest things Hammy, Essy and I can come up with by just talking.
Just so you know, 'mappa' means naked and 'nanpa' sounds like a hokkien vulgar word but it's not and it means to hit on someone or to pick up women (mainly by men but who cares).
