Ms. Shimizu hugged Jun at the entrance of the house, while I observed them from the kitchen.
"Jun, my dear, you're here," she said. She then looked at Jun's boyfriend. "Is he a friend?"
Here we go.
Jun scratched the back of his head. "About that…. Let's go to the living room."
Ms. Shimizu tilted her head, yet she complied and the three of them disappeared from my sight.
I have to see this.
I walked out of the kitchen and headed to the living room, where I stood behind Jun and his boyfriend. They stood beside the Christmas tree, while Ms. Shimizu stood in front of them and the rest watched them from the sofa or also standing.
"Sachiko, Kyōko, and Rie already know him, but I haven't introduced him to anyone formally. So, everyone, he is Akira, my boyfriend."
He bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
