[Ouma's reaction is interesting all on its own. He certainly didn't seem surprised by the suggestion, just entertained by the whole situation, and Shuichi has to wonder whether Ouma knew right from the start.
Not that Ouma really gives him much time to ponder that. Shuichi makes a soft noise of surprise as the other boy starts tugging him along, going a little red at the implications of the whole situation. He can't help but glance quickly around the courtyard -- god knows what any of the others would assume if they saw Ouma leading him to the love hotel of all places.]
I'm not...curious. ["Curious" makes it sound like he's wondering what might be inside, and he's very determinedly trying not to think about that.] Just...I could be wrong. And I can't be sure without looking.
[Yeah, that's definitely it. He's a detective, after all. He doesn't make decisions without proper evidence, and so he can't just toss the key out or something without confirming that it's definitely Monokuma nonsense first. What if he's wrong and it's important? They just...have to check. To make sure. That's all.
So that's why he follows along hesitantly, letting Ouma drag him to the tacky-looking building. It certainly matches the key in aesthetics, at least. Shuichi can feel his face getting redder against his will just pushing through the front doors.]
