"Hey, wake up," I hear it clear as day.

"Let me rest a little longer," I whine tiredly while yawning. I make no move to stand. I turn to my pillow and continue to try and snooze.

I've been stressed and tired this whole time, and the only thing I want to do is to be fully rested before I start another long and exhausting day.

"Come on, you know he'll be upset if you don't wake up." After hearing that, my comfortable expression changes to one of concern.

"Who?" This time I fight the tiredness and sit up.

"Your father," surely my parents wouldn't come back to Tokyo because of everything that's been happening.

When I open my eyes, I see someone I've never seen before who's bent down beside the futon with a gentle expression in his eyes.

He's dressed in an old and traditional outfit, which looks like a kamishimo. His clothes are black and grey with shoulder pads. His hair is grown out long and is tied back neatly. However, that's not the problem here.

When I look around the room, I can tell I'm no longer at Jungkook's house. Matter of fact, I have no clue where I am.

This room is polished in pure, brown wood, and it smells of cherry blossoms outside. I look around the room, see a slide-open door that's barely cracked open, and hear birds chirping outside past the door, which leads to the bright outside.

"Who the hell are you and what's going on?" I practically kick out of the futon until I'm on my feet. I make sure to put a huge distance between us.

His brown eyes widen massively, and he stands to his feet, too. "Hey, there's no need for that kind of language, especially for a lady."

My eyes narrow even more. "Who are you and what's going on?" I rephrase my words, and he nods as if that's better.

"It's time for the arrangement. Your fiancé is soon to be here." Then he bows politely and begins to leave. However, he stops in his steps. "I'm sure you're not fully awake yet, but I'm Jin. I've been your personal servant since you've come of age when you turned five. Surely, it's the stress. I'll have the kitchen staff make your favorite brewed tea to help settle your nerves for today."

Although he speaks as if we're on good terms, I've never seen him before in my life.

"Follow me, Princess Yuko. You have a busy schedule today." He begins walking out of the room, and I follow him.

Once he opens the sliding door and steps outside, I have to stop in my steps from the beautiful view.

Pink cherry blossoms are dancing in the air, being carried away by the morning breeze over the structure of the long, old-looking house. The house structure looks so ancient and fancy; it's nothing I've ever seen before.

This has to be a dream, but I'll go along with it.

"Wow," I admire, while the strange man named Jin looks at me confused.

"Definition of the word? What does wow mean?" My admiration suddenly stops when I hear him.

"Really? You don't know?" I ask, and he shakes his head. I can't believe that anyone in this day and age doesn't know what it means.
