Misaki's p.o.v


"A favor?" I looked up at Ranmaru's face.

"Yes." He looked a little troubled but his teeth gritted and then he finally mouthed a word.

"Wedding." 

"Huh?" I am going deaf right? Did he say weeding?

"Wedding..." He said it again. I was right. And then added. "I want you to be my partner."

"What?" I touched my chest confused. Is this a proposal?

My cheeks were burning up. Okay, calm down. This must be a mistake.

"What's your opinion on shrine weddings? I personally prefer modern.." Ranmaru spoke but i felt my knees finally giving up and I dramatically fell on the ground.


Ranmaru's p.o.v  

"Reiji help me out here." I walked back in the mansion carrying this idiot in my hands. I noticed Reiji passing by and he immediately ran over.

"What happened? Is she over working herself again?" Reiji asked worried.

"I'm awake." She complained.

"You just fainted out of nowhere." I answered annoyed.

"I was being dramatic." She answered.

Reiji was giving me a really suspicious look.

"What?" I ased,

"Can i know the details of the conversation. Before she fainted/"

"I'm awake." She complained.

I dropped her on the couch. "I only asked her if she wanted to be my partner for a wedding. And then I asked her what's her opinion on shrine weddings. Then she fainted on me."

Reiji grinned. "You're so bold Maru. I mean to ask her to marry you all of a sudden."

"Huuuh?" I slammed my hand on the table annoyed. "What are you saying? I didn't ask her to marry me."

"Hence the dramatic fainting." She complained.

"Ah." I suddenly realized my mistake.  I covered my face with my hands. "This might have came out wrong."

"You think." She sighed. "I like modern weddings too." she added.

"Congratulations." Reiji waved his hands and she just shooed him away.

" I leaned over Misaki again. " I was asking you to go to my sister's wedding with me. Looks like i can't get over that issue easily."

She starred at me for a moment and then smiled. " Mm okay. I'll go with you."

"Really?" I asked her but her face expression didn't change. 

"I'll be by your side. No questions asked." She smiled.

 "Thank you. I feel like a weight is lifted off my chest. " And it really did feel like that. When did this girl become such a rock for me to lean on, I wonder.

Two weeks later.

First it took begging and begging to make my Manager let me go alone on this trip with Ranmaru. Then explaining to Shinning so he doesn't misinterpret. And finally Ranmaru had to borrow Quartet night's private plane so we can land in Fukuoka where the wedding was.
