The Assistant

Chapter Thirty

"Alright I'm all done with unpacking my things and sorting everything out, now I just gotta find where Hiroto went" I placed my bags down neatly next to my new wardrobe that was now filled with my clothes. I waltzed over to the open door I didn't bother shutting after Mr Han had left since I was far too busy with packing my belongings.

"Ouch-" I rubbed my forehead after the impact I experienced walking out the door, I opened my eyes to see a very tall man standing right infront of me "Hello" the man's voice was deep; he's are a very pigmented navy blue and he's hair was as black as night; he's complexion was one similar to Hiroto but just a bit darker more tanned.

"H-hi" I said practically staring at him studying him "Did I startled you?" I shook my head snapping myself out of the trans I was in, the man smiled as he laughed at my very confused form "I'm Hashiro Hiroto's older brother, you must be Miss L/N he's personal assistant" he said extending he's hand out.

Without hesitation I took he's hand in mine and shook it finally someone shakes my hand!

"That's right it's a pleasure to finally meet you" he laughed once again at me state and retreated he's hand placing it in he's pocket "The pleasure is all mine Miss L/N" a wave of realization hit me Hiroto was Japanese; I didn't even recognize the house as a traditional Japanese house because it was made so modernly but, I do recall seeing some Japanese portraits and antiques around.

Out of sheer shock with the fact I extended my hand instead of bowing I immediately lowered my head, no wonder he's mother didn't take my hand she wanted a bow! I'm such an idoit.

"What are you doing raise your head!" he said placing both he's hands on my shoulders, I slowly raised my head looking at him in he's eyes "There's no need for that formality, think of me as your older brother nothing more"

I blinked my eyes a couple of times not fully aware of why'd he'd even say that "B-but-" "I over heard the conversation you had with yourself and you called my brother by he's first name, no assistant is that comfortable with their boss and as far as I'm aware he'd never be so close with just anyone especially he's assistants let alone let them tag along to family gatherings regardless if it's an invite only"

Gulp

I'm so screwed, he knows!

"Tell me Miss L/N" Hashiro spoke as he took a step closer to me making me back away in the process "You and my brother aren't just collages are you?" I froze on the spot, I failed the mission he was onto us. What do I do? Do I deny it or do I just come out clean but, if I do I'd be making Hiroto's stay here stressful.

"Boo" "Ah!" I gasped as I realized he had moved close to me, I was so deep in thought I didn't even notice how close he had gotten to me "Did I scare you?" I stepped back from him until there was no where for me to back away.

"I-" "Hashi what are you doing?" He's head turned around as he backed away from me, a women with pale skin and shoulder length hair walked into the room, she wore a purple dress that ended just above her knees with black pumps that matched her dark eyes "Yuki I'd like you too meet my little brothers girlfriend"

Can I get a f/c coffin now?

"Oh stop it Hashi can't you see the poor girls in shock, go find Hiro and tell him what you've done" The women said as she ushered Hashiro out the room. I stood still not able to move an inch from my current position "I'm very sorry for my husband, he can be very playful at times" I didn't utter a word, still in shock in as to what had happened I stayed still with an unhinged jaw.

"Oh my where's my manners, I'm Yuki Hanyu Hashiro's lovely wife" she smiled as she raised her hand up to reveal her rings that were placed perfectly on her slider fingers, the rings were absolutely gorgeous, not only was their diamonds on them but the design it had made it look even more beautiful than the diamond alone.

"Wow that's very stunning rings" I said "Thank you" she said giving me a closed eye smile, it was werid bonding so easily with somone I had only just met, yet I could feel a connection between us growing "I-I'm Y/N L/N" I said as I lowered my head ever so quickly just to be double sure not to forget to pay my respects.

"Oh my no formalities any friend of Hiro's is a friend of mine" she smiled once again as I smiled back "You must be confused as to what my husband was going on about" I nodded my head slowly "I was told to keep my relationship with Mr Han- I mean Hiroto's a secret but now I feel like everybody knows" "I assure you only I and my husband know, I'm very well aware of the fact that it's to be kept a secret don't worry" I sighed solely feeling the weight of the entire situation leave my shoulders "Thank goodness although I have one question"

Her eyes stayed on mine as I looked up at her, she was taller than my by a few inches, it is intimidating but then again she probably is older than me by a few years.

"How do you guys know, surely we couldn't be that obvious?" she cracked a laughed before clearing her throat to speak "Hashi and Hiro are very close brothers although they differ in age, they are closer than what he is with the other two and they are basically inseparable so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know about each other's private life, Hashi goes so far to even tell him what we do in bed" she shook her head as she placed a hand above her eyes covering them from the sheer embarrassment.

I tired to suppress my laughter but I couldn't I let out a small laugh as she soon joined in my happiness in joy "I'm surprised they are, I didn't even know about this until now" she nodded her head understanding my confusion "I wouldn't blame him, he's had it worse than the rest of he's brothers so talking about he's family is definitely a topic he avoided"

I guess that's true in some aspects.

"How did you find out about our relationship?" "Oh that's easy, Hiro never told Hashi directly that you two were dating but he did mention things that involved you especially things like the bomb accident and the Premium Event, little things like that they spoke of but never directly and whenever I over heard them speak or Hashi talks to me about it I'd obviously put two and two together" "And you figured out were are in a relationship" "Bingo"

Alright it did make sense "But what if you were wrong and I was the wrong girl?" "I'd look like a fool right about now and there's nothing I hate more than looking like a fool infront of anyone" the room went quiet after she spoke, silence engulfed the room as my gaze met the floor not being able to really look her in the eye anymore.

"Look" she spoke, her voice became more serious and stern "I hope he told you that our family isn't the best kind and loving family there is nor is the house the most stable and peaceful at times but, what I've learned over the years is that as long as you have someone that's got your back then things around here will be easier for you trust me I learned this the hard way" she laughed to herself a wave of nostalgia washing over her as she recalled passed memories.

"Who had your back?" I asked sheepishly "No one at first but soon after Hiro started to talk to me more whenever Hashi wasn't around, at first he thought he was trying to steal me away from him but he did quite the opposite; he noticed how miserable I was and how eveyone treated me but, he talked to me more and fought for me when I was at my worst when everyone picked on me" she paused taking in a deep breath before continuing.

"Eventually we moved away after I told Hashi I've had enough and couldn't deal with he's family anymore, he spoke with them every day trying to reason with them because by that time we were already engaged and months later we were married. The details of how much sacrifices we made and how much pain and trouble we caused is another story for another time but, the point is that-" she paused again catching her breath before speaking again.

"Hashi and I are here if there's anything you need, I don't think you realize how much this means to us seeing Hiroto being interested in somone" "What does that mean?" "Again another story for another time" I sighed knowing the whole book that I'm going to have to read just to get simple answers.

"Gah! I've been talking for so long you must be thirsty, why don't we get some drinks yeah?" "Sure" I said nonchalantly, still trying to process all the information that was given to me I remained quiet before I spoke again while I try wrapping my whole head around their family.

What have I gotten myself into?
