Love Him... More

Party

Shine and Yuzuru join the rest in the banquet hall. Shine see Mom standing in one side of the room with Allen, they are staring at her the way she can clearly understand them. Dad and Min are talking to Coach Brian —something related to figure skating Shine's guess. Javier is also talking with another female student from the club —Gabrielle Daleman. Monika and Nam are seriously talking to each other too. When Nam and Monika see Shine and Yuzuru appear, both Monika and Nam walk towards them.

"Happy Birthday again, Shine. I missed you" Monika greets Shine while she hugged her tightly.

"Where did the two of you go?" Monika asked while she release Shine from her hug and look suspiciously to both of them.

"Why are you here? I thought you're going to stay in Vietnam a little longer?" Shine completely ignore Monika's question and asked her instead —Shine is really surprise to see Monika again.

"It turns out that my mother's relatives want to go visit us. And since, they are staying with us for months, we need to be here ahead of time to prepare everything for there arrival" Monika explain.

Then, Nam notice that Shine and Yuzuru are holding each other's hand.

"What is this Yuzu?Shine?" Nam inquire with a smile while he take a glance of their hands. He looked at Shine and Yuzuru as he's seeking for an answer from either of them.

"OMG! you... are both!..." Monika excitedly exclaimed. She cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming but she is only half successful, seeing how Javier looked at them and probably heard Monika's 'excitement'. Javier patted Gabrielle and immediately walk towards them to join the group.

"You two..officially?"Javier asked as he stumble for words, he is also happy for the two of them.

Shine and Yuzuru looked at each other with a shy smile. Nam, Monika and Javier are anticipating with excitement in their faces.

"Yes!" Shine and Yuzuru answer in sync and smile.

"Well it's about time! Congratulation! Yuzu, Shine" Nam said, smiling.

Monika hugged Shine again.

"I told you he likes you" Monika said and she release Shine. Then, she shift her look to Yuzuru.

"CONGRATULATIONS! And you, Yuzu, don't you dare to make Shine cry; or else you're going to get the worst out of me. And even though you are the Olympic gold medalist, I swear you'll regret being known by me!" Monika threaten Yuzuru.

Shine and Yuzuru looked at each other again with their eyes that seems like talking to each other. They looked at Monika and smile.

"Thank you Monika. Don't worry, I do not have any intentions of making Shine cry; not now, not ever!" Yuzuru confidently reassured Monika as he kiss Shine's head.

"Who would've thought that this could happen?!" Nam said, smiling to the both of them.

"This is the first relationship of our Yuzu here, Shine. I hope you will understand his short comings" Javier maturely said to Shine.

Coach Brian also approach them as he see that they are all gathered in one place.

"What's in here?" Coach Brian inquire, looking for an answer from anyone of them.

"Coach, Yuzu and Shine are officially in a relationship now!" Nam excitedly relay to Coach Brian.

"Oh really? Congratulations to the both of you"Coach Brian said, smiling at them too.

"But I hope this will not affect your performance"Coach Brian directly said to Yuzuru.

"Don't worry coach, I will always do my very best" Yuzuru said and smile as he assured Coach Brian.

"Coach, we all know Yuzu —no offense Shine,but we all know that no one can change his relationship with Figure Skating" Javier said with a laugh.

"Don't worry Javi, I have accepted that fact a long time ago" Shine said while she smile and look at Yuzuru —the look that she can only give to him.

Coach wave his hand from someone far behind Shine and Yuzuru.

"o well, Congratulation to the two of you again. Excuse me, I need to talk to someone" Coach Brian said and immediately leave.

Monika, Nam and Javier can sense the sweet and loving aura coming from them. Yuzuru look at Shine as if there is no one else in the room, while Shine look at him affectionately too. They smile to each other, a very happy smile.

Then, Mom walk towards them.

"Excuse me, I think I will need to take Shine away for a moment. Don't worry, I will return her immediately" Mom said taking Shine's hand and her hold with Yuzuru break.

Shine smile at them and gladly follow her Mom. When they are reach a safe distance away from the group. Mom start talking.

"Shine, what do you think are you doing?" Mom asked Shine in a worried voice.

"Mom, I know what I am doing!" Shine answer her.

Shine then look at Yuzuru and the group. They are laughing. Yuzuru's laugh is like the cutest thing— his eyes turn to a line when he's genuinely happy. Yuzuru met Shine's stare and smile at her. Nam and Monika turn around while Javier take Yuzuru's side. They all take a look at Shine and smile at her. Shine smile back at them too. Yuzuru slightly tilt his head indicating that Shine should continue talking to her mom. Shine slightly bow her head and turn her attention back to Mom.

"Like I said earlier, I know what I am doing" Shine repeat herself.

Mom silently listen to Shine.

Shine sigh.

"I know, I will have to let them go but can't you just give me a little time? Time to give happy memories to them...to YUZURU? PLEASE!" Shine hopelessly asked.

Allen then appears and inject himself to Shine and Mom's conversation.

"Okay Shine! but we can't give you so much. One month! that's all we can give you. No extension, understand?" Allen firmly said to Shine.

Shine sigh.

"one month!?! Okay! I think I can deal with that! Thank you! I will go back to them now" Shine said.

She bow her head to both Mom and Allen and she walk towards Yuruzu.

Shine exhale and smile as she walks to join them —she don't want to ruin the positive aura of the group.

"Sorry Javier! but can you move? I want to be beside my boyfriend" Shine jokingly said to Javier as she places herself in between him and Yuzuru.

Javier move to give way to Shine.

"Look at her! She say 'Boyfriend' without any hesitation" Nam said, teasing Shine and Yuzuru.

"What am I suppose to say, Nam?" Shine answer his teasing.

"O c'mon Nam, Yuzuru and Shine just begin their relationship, don't be like that!" Monika said and give Nam a look.

"Yes! Nam don't be like that!"Javier agree.

"Okay...okay" Nam said in surrender.

Everyone laugh and Yuzuru planted a soft kiss into Shine's forehead.
