About two weeks has gone by as the trio of girls stayed in Japan, they stayed in an exclusive penthouse at a hotel in Tokyo. Tokyo had been amazing, the girls shopped, ate a lot, attended lavish events and made sure to enjoy themselves in everything they did. Diego who?
The view over the city was impeccable. Everyone each had their own bedroom space but they'd come together when it was needed. Like right now, Tayana was having a private fashion show for the elite to showcase her new collection which everyone was excited about. Alina was on the phone with Dominic as she was getting ready, adorning herself with a diamond necklace and setting to compliment her long black sleek dress with a slit right by her thigh. She steps back in front of the camera to show him her dress.
"Mmm take it off." Dominic says, his face frowning, Alina was surprised and looked down at her wrong.
"What? Why? What's wrong with it?" She asked in confusion.
"You look too beautiful in it, men are gonna be staring." Her frown quickly turned into a smile, his jealously has butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
"Mm someone's jealous, I'm not your girl Mr Santiago." She teased, he chuckled hoarsely and shook his head.
"Not yet." He said confidently, she was at a loss for words, all she could do was hum in agreement. She brought the phone close and smiled, showing him her face card.
"I have to leave now but I'll text you when I come back okay?" She said cheerfully.
"I'll be waiting for it love, go have fun, you look gorgeous."
"Thanks, bye!" She said as she cut the call, as she moved to walk outside the room, she found Selene standing outside her room, both were in surprise.
"Were you...eavesdropping?" She wondered, honestly a little creeped out, Selene was acting very weird since she joined them last week.
"O-oh yeah, I just wondered if I could borrow lipstick from you? Mine ran out." Alina's face brightened up again, "Sure, come take your pick, I need to go check if Tayana is done dressing up." Alina let Selene into her room and went to check on her sister, she opened the door and found Tayana on the phone talking to someone in Japanese, Alina could only understand a bit of it but she was incredibly upset about something, once she finished her call, Tayana cut the call and threw her phone on the bed in frustration.
"Hey what's going on Tayana? Is everything okay?"
"No everything is not fucking okay, these stupid idiots didn't order the specific wine and champagne I had arranged for everyone, everything has to be fucking perfect. Unplanned things like this shouldn't happen!" She said in frustration, Alina put a hand on her shoulder.
"Are there other wines and champagnes being served?"
"Yes."
"So it's no issue Tayana, I know you want everything to be perfect but unexpected things like this happens, don't be hard on yourself. Look, it's going to be the talk for 2 weeks, it's going to be perfect okay? Let's just go before we're late." Alina encouraged, Tayana took deep breath and smiled at her sister.
"Thanks baby sis, you're right, the drivers are waiting."

Soon they had all made it to the even, it was lavishly decorated with an assortment of food and of course a fancy bar which supplied a seemingly never ending supply of alcohol. As they arrived, they were greeted with paparazzi, Selene was nervous, never having been in this situation before but Alina held her hand and helped her walk confidently through the flashing lights and journalists. When they arrived inside, Tayana led the girls backstage, seeing all the models getting ready and prepped up, she yelled in Japanese, greeting everyone and wishing them a good show. She turned and smiled as her boyfriend, Ken came and greeted her with a kiss, he then moved over to greet Selene and Alina as well. Ken and Tayana had been together for 3 years now, Alina wanted to be just like them, hoping her time was coming soon. He pulled out a bouquet of red and white roses behind him, much to his girlfriend's surprise.
"Just for you..i'm always proud of you, you'll do great." He said kissing her on the cheek, Tayana fanned her face, trying not to cry, it was such an emotional moment for her, feeling so overwhelmed and her fiancée brought her a sense of calm. Selene and Alina decided to give them their moment and took their front row seats in front of the runway. Alina felt eyes on them from different people, she was used to the stares now but it did make her feel out of place sometimes.
The stage lights shone brightly, casting a spotlight on the runway lined with fashion models strutting down in the latest chic designs. The audience of fashion designers and enthusiasts sat in anticipation, their eyes fixed on the runway as one model after another showcased the newest collection. Music played in the background, adding to the energy and excitement of the moment. One thing Alina admired about Tayana is her diversity and personal touch on her fashion shows, the models were diverse, some were foreigners of different origins, backgrounds and some were of course Japanese, sending a message into her work. The models walked with confidence and grace, each one oozing style and sophistication as they made their way down the runway, each outfit more impressive than the last.
As the show ended, the audience gave a standing ovation as Tayana made her appearance to address everyone, her speech was of course in Japanese. "Hello everyone, little Tayana would never believe that this is where we are today, my fourth collection showcased in one of the biggest cities in the world! This all couldn't have been possible without all of your support, I want to especially appreciate my baby sister Alina and my lover, Ken who've always believed in me. I'm proud of who I am, I want to represent the foreigners in Japan who've felt isolated in this country. I'm seen as a foreigner because of my skin but I'm more than that, I am Japanese, being half doesn't make it any less true. I have succeeded despite what society said about people like me so thank you, thank you everyone!"
The applause came once again, Tayana was surprised as Ken hopped onto the stage and got on one knee, Alina gasped, there was no way this was happening, Tayana was of course shocked, everyone was shocked.
"Tayana Kiyomi Suzui, will you marry me?" Ken said, opening up a box with a ring in it, she was clearly at a loss for words before she realizing he was waiting for an answer.
"Yes! A million times yes!"Alina was crying at this point, wiping her tears, she clapped along with the crowd
