One day, I went to see my old man in his study room but he wasn't around so I decided to wait for him. I noticed something on his desk, I walked a little bit closer and noticed a photo of a little girl. Who's she? Why does old man have this? I heard footsteps so I immediately sat on the chair as if I didn't see the photo.
The door opens. My old man enters the office. Old man said, "Kirishima. You're early."
"You said you wanted to see me."
My old man walked to his desk and grabbed the photo. He sits next to me and put the photo on the table. "What is it?" I asked.
He replied, "Your fiance."
Fiance? I am only 12 yet I have a fiance? What rubbish is this?
Old man adds, "Hiro and I think you're most suitable for being her companion."
Hiro? Hiro Somei's granddaughter?I looked at the photo once more. She's not my type since she seems to be a quiet type, which is a good thing. I just need to marry her to succeed the family's honor, right?
I opened my mouth and said, "I'll marry her." I stand up and walked out of the door. After a few days, I did a little digging about her. I found out there was a fire accident when she was 6 years old. They said she was there when the fire started. So...how did she end up being alive?
(Hospital.)
Old man heard the news of Hiro being admitted to the hospital. As we walked into the building, every staff and patients were shocked to see us. They avoid meeting our gaze, which is normal.
I noticed someone leaning against the door. As I walked closer, it was a girl. Who is she? Old man greets her, "Akane."
Akane? I looked at her again; however, I feel like she's not the same girl that was in the photo. She bows politely to my old man. I smiled and introduced myself to her, "Hi I'm Kirishima." Her expression didn't change at all. She ignores me and walks into the room. What a brat.
...
She walks out of the room so her grandfather can talk freely without her in the room. I left the room since I thought she would find a place to cry; however, she didn't feel sad or disheartened about what happened to Hiro. Just what is in her mind? What is she thinking?
I was startled as she throws a punch at me. I dodged her punch reflexily. She removes her hand as if she realizes I'm standing in front of her. I apologize to her how a gentleman would; however, she just ignores me. Again. She walked past me and head back to the patient room. I sighed and followed her. She stops in front of the door. I tilted my head, wondering why she's not going in.
Seconds later, she walked into the room. Hiro said, "Akane. Kirishima here, will be your future husband." In a low voice, she said, "I understand." BAM! The door slammed open. A man in black leather jacket walked right in. "I opposed this marriage."
Hiro sighs and said, "Dylan, why are you here? You should be studying in the UK."
Dylan protested. "You send me away so you could marry her off. Not on my watch."
Dylan glared at me. What is his deal?
Akane said, "I will marry Kirishima."
Dylan was shocked of how easily she was accepting this. "Akane!" Akane turns to Hal, her personal guard. "Take Dylan away."
"Akane, I--"
She glared at him. "Grandfather is resting."
Dylan clicked his tongue and ran out. Once he left, I knew he had feelings for her...men instincts. But even if he did, I won't handle her over to him. Wait. What? I looked at her. Do I...towards her...No way. Impossible.
