Chapter 3: Afterhours

I slowly awaken to the warmth of the Tokyo sun on my face, a feeling that always brought me comfort. The spring weather was pleasant and the view of the city's beautiful skyline through the window was breathtaking. But as I sat up in bed, I realized something was off. This wasn't my room, and I had no recollection of how you got here. Oh no where even am I?

My head throbbed with a terrible headache, and I noticed the soft sensation of silk against my skin. I were covered in black silk sheets and wearing a white cotton t-shirt that didn't belong to me. As I surveyed the room, I spotted a note on the nightstand next to a bottle of Tylenol and orange juice. The note read "drink me and take me."

I could not believe what was happening right now, as I try to remember the previous night I remember Ran... oh no... did he change me into this? Did I sleep with this guy last night? God please let it be anyone but him.

Feeling groggy and disoriented, I followed the instructions and waited for the medicine to take effect. As my memory slowly started to return, I checked my phone's location and discovered that I was in Roppongi still. The room was spacious and modern, adorned with dark wood details and emanating the intoxicating scent of sandalwood. It had a luxurious and impersonal air almost like a hotel room or like the room of a man who didn't spend much time home.

As I looked around, I saw a familiar face, someone standing in the doorway. It was Ran, shirtless and wearing grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips. His eyes met mine with an air of desire, and he appeared relieved to see that I was awake and taking the medication. I couldn't help but notice his perfectly sculpted body, adorned with a tattoo of a dragon that ran from his hand all the way down his left side.

"Did we...?" I stammered, trying to piece together what had happened.

"I didn't touch you if that's what you're wondering," Ran reassured as he approached the bed. He looked at me with concern, as if he knew exactly what I was thinking.

"Did you change me into this?" I gestured towards the unfamiliar white t-shirt that I was wearing.

"Your dress was covered in vomit Y/N" Ran explained matter-of-factly. I felt a flush of embarrassment wash over me. "Did we sleep... together?" I asked ashamed, unsure if I had shared the bed with him.

"I slept in the other room," Ran answered, getting closer to the bed. He was standing so close that I could feel the warmth of his body near mine. He looked taller from where I was sitting. "I want to make sure that any minute I'm around you... you remember..." he said bluntly, lifting my chin with his finger so I could face him. His touch giving me goosebumps, I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks as I swallowed, as he lets go of my chin. I thought he was about to kiss me, but he steps back and walks towards the restroom.

I could feel the tension rising between us, his confidence radiating as he stood in front of me.

The question burned in my mind, the uncertainty of what happened to my clothes from the night before. "What happened to my clothes?" I asked, hoping for an answer.

Ran responded from the restroom, his face dripping with water from washing it. "I asked the maids to send them to the dry cleaning and I sent someone to buy something new for you to wear," he said, his eyes locked onto mine. I couldn't help but feel a surge of desire within me as I took in his appearance. His body glistened with sweat from his recent gym session, his lavender hair tousled, and his skin flushed with color.

Despite the tension, I found yourself drawn to him, his presence igniting a fire within me. I wondered if he felt the same way, if he could sense the heat between you.

Curious of his intentions, I asked, 'Why did you bring me here?

He answered in a serious tone, 'Would you have rather me leave you behind with Sanzu?'
