It was easy to tell how the lack of attention you gave was pissing him off. And for a split of a second, Ran Haitani couldn't help but widen his eyes and gasp internally upon such realization as a lady with such resilient brilliance passed by him without even sparing him a single glance of genuine interest.
He felt as though his ego and confidence were being torn apart, what was even the point of holding his chin up high without you, the woman he desired the most, fawning over him?
He stood frozen on his spot─ on one of the hallways of Bonten's headquarters, sensing your presence starting to disappear each time you took a step away from him.
He felt his heart sink, pursing his lips together as he braced himself to look over his shoulder and stare at the two figures walking away behind him.
"I swear, my luck disappears when it comes to her..." He uttered scornfully in disdain, catching the attention of the two people who followed behind him, his brother and his flamingo-headed fellow executive, as he started to look like a gentleman lost in his own obsessive thoughts.
Nevertheless, while his ego was crumbling consequent to being ignored, you were far from giving him your full attention, nor even a slight glimpse at him that you didn't consider disseminating.
But screw that, you might as well be interested in him, just not a time where you have someone you clearly needed to prioritize.
Because first and foremost, you were far too occupied and busy with handling the cranky brother you had beside you. "Kenny, can you please just convince him to attend, please?
"Manjirou, he─ He's clearly obligated to attend Yumi-san and Haruki-kun's wedding day, he's his friend after all! It's been so long too. Twelve years since the gang has seen him, why can't he come when all he does in Bonten is eat some cold-ass dorayaki and play god amongst thugs!"
Draken groaned upon hearing you rant once more without an ounce of indecisiveness, continuing to bite his inner cheek while threading his eyebrows together as you kept on stirring a mouthful of explanations.
You were Ryugiji Ken's younger sister who's by far three years younger than him, and damn did he love you so much to the point of unaliving someone.
But at a time like this where you're being an extra headache, he was forcing himself to not suddenly yank your whole body and put you over his shoulder like some sack of marketed potatoes just to shut you up.
Before you can let out another statement regarding what he had done earlier, he groaned and said something right before you can open your pretty little mouth.
"Shut it, y/n. I need to think, if you keep on talking, I'm literally gonna shove a frog into your insolent maw. Stop being a brat for Christ's sake, ugh." He nastily lets out in which you, of course, replied with a disgusted look before kicking his leg harshly that almost made him trip like a child.
You looked at him with an offended manner, staring at him with crossed hands but he ended up just rolling his eyes and shrugging his shoulder.
"But Ken! This will make Pah happy, you know! And- And Manjirou would never hurt you!" You scrunched your nose as he started to walk away from you, running your fingers through your h/c h/l flowy hair as you yelled that.
Pissed off, you obviously didn't like how he treated you and easily ignored your endless opinions. Angered, you stopped walking alongside him and just sighed. Everything was in vein.
"Fine! Since I'm being a brat, I might as well leave you alone, stinky old man!" This easily caught your brother's attention, looking behind his shoulder only to see that you started walking away from him, and to the path where three maniacs were walking together.
Draken groaned as he saw that you and your bratty ass started walking away in dilly dally, not hesitating to scramble his way towards you in fear that you might just catch the attention of various men that lounged in the place where he took you to meet his old friend, Manjirou Sano.
Thus, this explains why someone like him was in Bonten's headquarters, Japan's most powerful criminal organization.
Pretty much the reason he was in place as dangerous place as this was explained earlier, a statement you had desperately stated earlier.
In fact, Draken shouldn't even be taking you with him in the first place, considering how nefarious Bonten members were and how dangerous the headquarters itself was.
If it weren't for you being overly obsessed with meeting the former captain of Tokyo Manji Gang once again despite acknowledging the fact that he wasn't the old Mikey anymore.
"Ah, you're killing me, y/n. You can't go there, why can't you just─" He jogged his way towards you, trying to catch up to your phase while you walked on bunch of heeled shoes while wearing a floral dress since you're supposedly gonna spend sibling time with your brother.
But unfortunately, his desperate call for you was cut off when he saw an unusually disturbing sight in front of him.
His eyes widened, a vein on his head was on the verge of popping when he saw you being embraced by a familiar man whom he knew that goes by the name of Ran Haitani.
