Chapter 11: Splash

"What do you want?" You asked in a cold tone.

"Let's talk" He said. A sigh left your lips as you opened the door wide for him to enter. When we was now inside you closed the door behind you with a thud.

"About earlier." He looked at you wth a serious look in his eyes. "I don't want you doing that again. You're lucky that only Rindo and I were the ones who caught you. If Mikey was the one who caught you, you'll be dead. Especially if Sanzu was the one who caught you." He continued.

You sighed to the side then you looked at Ran.

"I'm still gonna die here either way since I can't go home so why bother?" You nonchalantly said as you looked at him.

"I'm sure my Dad is looking for me right now. Especially my fiancé." You said averting your gaze from him.

"Fiancé?" Ran asked, You looked at him then you chuckled.

"Oh- I didn't tell you yet did I? I'm engaged" You said lifting your finger with a ring on.

"Well, It was an arranged one. I'm gonna be married against my will and I'm here against my will. Isn't it unfair? That I can't do anything in my will?" You walked towards your bed, taking a seat as you let out a sigh. Ran only stood silently as he looked at your figure.

"But-" You looked at him with a soft smile on your lips.

"If I get to choose between those two. I guess staying here isn't bad. Getting married means you'll have a responsibility and I hate responsibilities" You snickered.

Ran took a seat beside you with a distance between you.

"But isn't it your dream to be a bride?" Ran asked, his eyes were on you. You turned your head to meet his purple ones. A smile on your lips.

"That was when we were still dating Ran." You said with a mix of pain and sadness but you still smiled despite it. Ran was taken aback by your answer. He had the look of regret and pain in his face.

"But when you broke up with me. My dreams changed and I changed." You said as you looked at the bird in the box.

"I've always wanted to be a doctor when I was young but now- I'm a writer." You blankly said as you kept your gaze on the bird.

"Sor-"

"It's okay Ran! Like I said before, what we had is all in the past. I don't resent you or anything. Well, after what you did these days, I think I do hate you but-" You lifted your hand up, looking at him.

"Let's just try and get along with each other since we're gonna be stuck, living with each other for who-knows how long." You said. He looked at your hand then back at you.

"Let's just start again and be friends" You smiled. He lifted his hand up to shake your hand then he looked at you.

"Fine." He sighed.

You stepped out of the house with as you walked around with a guard following behind you.

You went in the garden looking at beautiful roses that was on the side. You walked towards it as you crouched down, picking one rose up when the thorn pricked your finger.

You slowly withdrew your hand then you looked at your index finger that was starting to bleed.

The blood rolled to the side then it fell from your finger landing on the ground.

You turned to the side to see a towel beside you. You grabbed it then you wiped the blood off.

"Thanks" You smiled then you handed him the towel back.

You began to walk until you heard a splashing noise. You followed where the sound was until you reached the pool.

You stood as you looked at the person who was climbing up.

Ran ran his fingers through his wet hair. The beads of water dripping down, tracing his abs. The sight of it was heavenly.

He lifted his eyes to meet your eyes with a shock look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. You walked towards him with a smile on your face then you looked around.

"I can't stay in the house all day. I want to explore what's outside the mansion." You replied.

"Don't worry I'm not stepping out of the gate" You said then you turned to look at the pool.

"You can go" Ran commanded the man who nodded then he began to walk away.

You removed your heels then you put it on the side.

"Are you gonna swim?" Ran asked. While you were dipping your feet on the water you turned to him as you replied.

"No" You replied. You took step back then you smiled at him.

"How about you?" You asked. He only shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the pool.

A playful smile played on your lips as you looked at him. He was right beside you and the pool in front of you.

"What?" He asked. You said nothing as you pushed him towards the pool creating a big splash.

"HAHAHAHA!" You bursted out laughing as you looked at him. He coughed then he glared at you but immediately smiled then he pulled your ankle forward making you gasp as you fell on the pool.

You swam up as you coughed then you glared at him and this time it was his time to laugh.

"HAHAHA!" He bursted.

You splashed the water at him as you coughed.

"Stupid Ran!" You grumbled as you splashed him with water but then later on you smiled.

"It's a surprise that you can swim. Before you didn't know how to swim" He said. You stopped your hand as you climbed up the poolside.

"Well, I took a swimming lesson before Mr. Haitani" You snickered. You stood on the poolside drying your dress then your hair, squeezing them.

He splashed you some water as the both of you chuckled.

"Well, Well, Well. If it isn't Ran and (Y/n). Having fun?" The both of you turned to see Sanzu walking towards you.

"What are you doing here Sanzu?" Ran asked.

"Well, I was just walking around until I saw you guys. Can I join the fun?" He asked, as he focused his gaze on you with a smile on his face.

"Oh yeah" Ran sighed as he went up to the poolside. "(Y/n) get change right now." Ran said making you tilt your head to the side.

"Why?" You asked.
