We Got Married (Back Up)

Mission 6: Honeymoon (part 2)

Shuta and Chiaki received their new mission the day after their wedding. They were tasked to spend their honeymoon in an island in the Philippines. They arrived at the place in the evening and rested in Shuta's room that night.

It was six o'clock in the morning when Chiaki woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes and realized that she's lying alone on the bed, with blanket spread over her. She stared at the ceiling for a while, feeling too lazy to get up already. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. Surprised, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Fragrance filled the air. She guessed Shuta has just taken a bath. She could hear him singing softly the chorus part of You Love Me. She smiled secretly, enjoying what she's hearing. Shuta then stopped singing.

"Love?" He asked. Chiaki froze, unsure if she should continue pretending to be asleep or just answer him, telling him she's awake already. Something then moved on the bed, making her think that he's sitting near the edge. "I know you're awake already." He said. Slowly, she opened her eyes.

"G-good morning..." She greeted shyly. She then suddenly remembered the kisses he gave her last night. She pulled up the blanket to her face, up to her nose to hide her blushing cheeks. Shuta went near her and laid down on his stomach.

"Haha, why are you hiding? Are you shy?" He asked, smiling.

"N-no." She answered behind the sheets. She then started to get up from the bed when Shuta's arm suddenly blocked her way, making her lie down again. "Ah!" She exclaimed, surprised. She looked at him to narrow her eyes on him but was surprised to see him with a sincere expression on his face.

"D-did I make you feel uncomfortable because of... last night?" He asked; "I'm sor-."

"D-don't." She cut him. She then looked away. "Y-you just imitated what I did to you the night of our wedding, right? So d-don't apologize." She then looked at him. "I'm sorry that I do things when I'm drunk and then not remember anything." She then hurriedly got up from the bed and left the room.

"Oi-!" He was surprised. "Huh? W-what has just happened... Is she mad at me?" He whispered to himself as he buried his face on the pillow.

"No, I shouldn't have said that and left. He must be thinking that I'm mad at him." Chiaki thought worriedly as she took her clothes off and dropped it on the floor. She then entered the glass door to the shower area and turned the knob for warm water. She raised her head to feel the water on her face. "Am I right that he just kissed me to imitate what I did? Or will he correct my thoughts again?" She then lowered her head and made a deep sigh. Still bothered with her thoughts, she continued to shower for awhile.

When she was done, she wore the terno cotton floral shirt and shorts that she picked from her cabinet. She decided not to put make up, but just sunscreen on her face and body. "Ah no, the show's staff might film us without us noticing." She then applied lip gloss on her lips. Satisfied with her simple look, she went out of her room.

She found Shuta sitting on the sofa at the living room. He was wearing a black tank top and gray board shorts. She bit her lower lip as she scanned his arms and brushed-up hair while approaching him. "Hi..." She greeted and sat down beside him.

"H-hi." He greeted back hesitantly, surprised that her mood seemed to change. "You look pretty." He complimented and tucked some of her hair behind her ear.

"Thank you." She smiled at him. "Love, I-I'm sorry that I suddenly left like that in your room earlier." She suddenly apologized. Shuta smiled.

"I thought you were mad at me." He admitted. Chiaki shook her head.
