Y/N leans against the wall, staring at the ceiling. I can't divorce her. She looks down. Mihara must be persuading Ran to divorce her.

Perhaps this time he says no. Perhaps— Y/N shakes her head. We can never know whether he'll say yes in the future or not. Kina Mihara is his first love.

First love— means everything. Everyone can do anything for their first love. Same goes to Ran. Y/N enters too late in his life. She entered after years of Ran and Mihara had been loving each other so dearly. She feels as if—

A third wheel. She feels unwanted.

Y/N bites her lips. He'd do anything for her. If Y/N had a first love, she'd done the same thing too. She pulls her body away from the wall. Whatever comes out from Mihara or his mouth, she has to accept it. They have been loving each other for so long.

She was the first owner of his heart. She must be the one who has unlocked the arrogance and coldness in him. Y/N just enters inside using the path that Mihara has made. Y/N falls on her fists hard. Sinking her nails into her palm. She's about to walk away—

"How far have you heard?"

She stops. And blinks a few times. The way he asks, as if he doesn't want her to know what he discussed with Mihara.

"I wanted to drink something. As I was about to enter, I saw you were talking to someone."

She grits her teeth. "I didn't get to hear anything." She lies. Y/N isn't a good liar, she herself knows that. That's why as soon as she lies, she needs to walk away.

"Y/N-san?"

She stares at the papers in front of her. I can't divorce her. Mihara forced Ran to divorce her. So she can get her first love back. So this third wheel will leave.

What if he does that? What if he follows her words? Y/N knows too, they have made a promise to get divorce right after all the shits have ended. Yet— Yet—

"Y/N-san!" Hirota raises his voice up a little, causing Y/ to blink.

"A-Ah.. Since when were you here?" She asks, while massaging her temples. Just thinking about Mihara and Ran gives her a headache. "I've been here for 5 minutes. I've called you so many times. What are you pacing out for?" Y/N shakes her head. "What are you here for?"

The male takes a seat in front of her, putting a file on the table for her view. "Your schedule for today. You have a meeting with a client at 3pm. You have two choices of places to meet him. Where do you prefer?"

Y/N looks down on the paper. Both of them are restaurants. "Choose the one that's nearby here." Hirota nods. "Then, Mrs. I excuse myself first."

Y/N hums as the male bows down before leaving the office. The woman draws out a breath. It's hard to deal with her day while her mind is fiber with Ran.

She hopes the day will end quickly, so that she can go home faster. It isn't like she wants to escape from reality, she just needs some space and peace.

Y/N stirs her juice beverage with the straw while waiting for the client. He's someone who's around his forties. No wonder he's late. Maybe the factor of age.

Y/N rests her chin on her palm, as she stares at her juice. He is late.. Y/N checks the time— it's 3:16pm. Or maybe she's the one who is being too early.
