SHE is standing frozen in front of the expensive VIP car with a chauffeur in-waiting.
"Hey, don't take my luggage," Ally pushed through the two guys as she tries to stop the chauffeur. "I didn't say I agreed." She looked helplessly at the chauffeur as he takes away her luggage without even looking at her.
"Don't worry, Ally chan. As I said, I mean no harm. Consider it as repaying for Daisuke's stupidity?" Yamato reassured her as he trying hard to suppress his smile watching her reactions. 'What has just happened? Did she just agree to let them help her out just because he identified himself as one of Kelly's colleagues? Or to accept an apology for his friend, Daisuke? Who does that?' She supposed to verify the identity of the person before accepting help from some stranger though. But Yamato's skill in persuasion only proves that he has the psychology study to convince women. Or Yamato's handsome and soft looks might be the answer. 'I hope I made the correct choice or let me die already.'"Let's get into the car now, we will send you to the Onsen address." Yamato breaks her thoughts away. Shuusei doesn't bother to argue with his friend at all while Takashi the big guy has been beside her the whole time gave her a push on the back to get her into the car. Ally glared at Takashi as she gets on the car reluctantly.
"Are you kidding me? Another woman?" A man voice reaches to her ear. He sounded annoyance. Inside the car, there was bickering going on among them. Ally becomes aware of the presence of another person inside the car. Ally hesitantly sits beside Yamato as the new guy watching her in irritation. 'How big can the car fit? Four? Five? Or six?' Ally can see that five persons are considered quite stuffy. "Count me out in this idea of 'Saving a Damsel in Distress'. I refuse to be your disciple."
"Ally chan, just ignore him" Yamato grabs her hand and smile at her warmly. Ally smiled awkwardly at him while glancing at the new guy and Shuusei who has been sitting on the opposite of them, trio. "Let's me introduce to you. This madman is Luke Toyanashi," Luke didn't bother to correct his friend's comment. "He's a lawyer," Yamato whispered to her ear. Ally glanced at the guy through the corner of her eyes. He considered handsome as well but arrogant. She has a feeling that she won't like that man.
"What happened? I thought you went to fetch your sister today?" Shuusei asked aware of his black mood was not derive from Yamato's goodwill.
"Don't want to talk about her." The new guy looking away through the outside in frustration. "She called me just a moment ago that she went with her friend for a reunion or something."
A moment later, the car starts to move and they slowly heading the city.
"How long will it take to get to the Onsen?" Ally whispered to Yamato.
"Don't worry."
"Then I will have to trust you on this." Ally took out her phone and tried to call Lisa but her phone was off. She doesn't want to talk to the guys, decided to close her eyes.

"Spit it," Luke urged as soon as Yamato gets onto the car with Takashi. "I know something is off the moment I saw her at the airport." The car begins to move and the women outside still waving to them excitedly. "Don't tell me you fall for her, huh?" Yamato glanced at the nonchalant Takashi beside him knowingly. Luke's surprise look interchange between Shuusei and Yamato. "No way! Seriously? She is that woman...," paused. Luke recalling Takashi making afford to accommodate the woman in a gentle way making sure the woman's head resting on his shoulder while sleeping. "No wonder."
"Ya way. I'm telling you," Shuusei resting his arms behind his head relaxing while watching Takashi's reaction. "You should see Ally chan's face when Taka grabbed her hand and led her to the car. You might mistaken him as her lover!"
Takashi glared at Shuusei in annoyance before turn away looking outside the window with his ears tip felt hot. Shuusei raised his hands with a hint of 'I rest my case' note before they crack a burst of laughter making fun of their friend. Takashi refused to listen to them chatting away about his secret crush on the woman. Her soft body leaning on him several minutes ago causing his yearning for more and his heart was pounding hard the whole time she leaning closer to him. Her scent still lingered on his clothes and something else get his attention when he carried her from the car to her room at the Onsen. She looks more beautiful than three months ago and those thin body and face looks round and chubby now including her rosy lips. Takashi mad at himself for having such a thought.
He doesn't sure when exactly did he fall for this woman but several coincidental occasions with her make him aware of her presence before he decided to follow her and many surprising things happened which makes him think highly of her as a good woman. Until she disappeared for three months.
Yamato glanced at Takashi's quiet seclusion. Now his face was flushed. At the airport, he did aware Takashi sudden lifted spirit as soon as they break through the crowds but have no idea what caused it until Daisuke accidentally rammed into Ally chan's trolley, and Takashi changed to anger ready to charge over the scene had him realised it was all caused by that very tiny, cute babyface woman. Allyson Grace. What a strange name. Yamato smiled devilishly at the thought of meeting her more in the future recalling how surprised they were to find someone they knew, William was there with his girlfriend.
Yamato wouldn't have known it if Takashi hasn't slipped his tongue three months ago about not able to see his crush anymore. The whole club went mute and was gaping at him. It was bizarre news for them to familiarize with it. It was an alarming concern to them as they knew well the last time he had fallen for some girl back in high school it did not end well and the relationship between the guys went cold. As a result, Takashi shut his heart away and choose to live a life as a monk while the other guy has become the notorious playboy known as 'The Legend'. Only just recently they started to reconcile as it never happened before. Is it the same time as Takashi found his love again or much earlier; Yamato unable to pinpoint the day but whatever it is his only wish is for them both become friends again like the old time.
There is no way the other guy will be interested in this fragile, small babyfaced woman.
