"Is everyone ready?" Minami poked his head into the room.

It was already evening and time for them to go out together for dinner to celebrate.

"Yes, almost," Itome replied, touching up Akemi's outfit.

"Alright, be down in five," Minami said before leaving them.

The whole day Minami had only spent catching up with his best friend, Akisawa.

When everyone was ready they headed for the hotel which was an hour away from the mansion.

"It's nice you're able to join us tonight, Akisawa," Itome's mother broke the silence in the car.

"I'm glad to be here," He smiled, "But I'm sorry for coming last minute."

"No, don't worry about that, you're always welcome, you're like family."

"Thank you so much."

A long drive after, they arrived at the hotel.

"This way please," The lady at the front greeted.

Akisawa swung his arm across Minami before following her.

"Not here," Minami laughed.

"Why not?" Akisawa whispered in his ear, smirking.

Itome and Akemi gave each other a glance not saying anything before looking at Sakura.

She didn't give much of a reaction, acting as if nothing happened.

They soon entered the dining hall. Everything was perfectly arranged, with seven chairs lining the table ready to be sat on.

Itome's father went and sat at the head of the table while everyone else settled down in their place.

Itome and Akemi sat on one side with Itome's mother next to his father.

On the other side, Sakura went to sit next to Minami, in the middle, but Akisawa beat her to it and sat next to him.

She awkwardly smiled before settling at the edge of the table next to Akisawa.

Itome gave her a worried glance but she reassured him she was alright.

"Order anything you want, it's a treat from me." Itome's father spoke, raising his glass of wine.

Everyone raised their glass before he continued, "To the new hotel..." He said before glancing at Sakura, "And the new baby."

"Cheers!"

Everyone continued to chat away. Akemi spoke to Itome about his conversation with his parents, Itome's parents small talked, Akisawa and Minami were still catching up and finally, Sakura just sat there in silence, slowly drinking her water.

"Excuse me," She spoke politely before leaving the table.

"Hey, where are you going?" Minami asked.

"To the restroom."

"Oh, alright..." He was about to return to his conversation with Akisawa but he felt a kick under the table.

His head shot up to Itome silently asking why he did that.

"She needs you," Itome whispered.

Minami got up from his seat and followed Sakura to the hall outside.

"Hey, Saku!" He caught up to her, "Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"You've been quiet the whole day, I'm worried."
