HE walks out the bathroom to freshen up after a long day, he smelled like roses and money.

His shampoo is probably out of flower seeds and cash where he magically stole in multiple banks.

His fingers brushes his hair that was draining with heavy water as he starts going towards his wardrobe, leaving a trail that consists droplets of water on the ground.

Then he continues removing his robe with a smirk while glancing at an image of you who is smiling cheerily, didn't know he was keeping a picture of his beloved in his closet too.

Maybe he also has a picture of you in one his underwears? Who knows.

Someone started knocking on his door, he quickly dresses up with his signature look; outfit.

His black blazer and pants, we all know how it looks like and if you don't- get a life.

"Master, Miss Suzue is waiting for you in the guests' room." the maid says with a firm tone. He straightens up his necktie before finally leaving his ass out of the bedroom.

You and your brother was busy doing work in Modern Crime Prevention Task Force.

While Daisuke is having a long break for now since he has been going through a lot.

Even though you wanted to comfort him in time to time, struggling on his family manners- you couldn't, you just chose to let him have all the space and alone time he needs.

He'll get along soon, for sure.

(a/n: oh and this chapter is a like 2 weeks after the incident in the final episode but bruh i want seAsOn 2!)

He elegantly sits on the sofa with legs and arms crossed, body language is clearly seen.

While Suzue is infront also sitting on a sofa but there's a small glass table separating them on the center.

Her expression was hard to read, don't know if she was happy, sad, mad or even scared.

But she is probably more on the concerned side, at least that's what author thinks she is displaying.

A maid glides her way towards the two, gently sliding down two cups of tea. That's when they started the conversation.

"It's been awhile, relative." she tried to change the dark atmosphere into a lighter one, as she silently chuckles. "But seriously though, is she still mad at me?"

He sips on his tea. "I never asked her. I'm guessing she is."

She nods, guilt defines her existence; she started to look uncomfortable.

"What brings you here?"

She tilts her head down to stare straight on the floor with her fists on her lap, her eyes narrowed. "I wanted to confess an apology."

The raven man just kept quiet, not responding after what she said. "Because you know I still like you."

He stops tasting his delicious tea, frozen into a pose. Damn, the air is so awkward right now. "I know we agreed to cancel our engagement before when you said you wanted to marry (Y/n) instead. But it's still hard you kno-"

"Our past engagement was for business anyway, nothing was real. So let's go on our own paths and avoid making any more unnecessary situations, its stressful- you almost made her divorce from me."

Suzue only stayed silent, just nodding while nibbling on her lower lip. She is probably overthinking a lot of shenanigans, processing some stuff.

He stands up after finishing an empty cup on the glass table.

Suzue did the same thing and slid her purse to hang on her shoulder before sprinting towards the exit to leave.

But before she did, she asked; "But am I forgiven? Can we at least still be friends?"

"Ask (Y/n) that question, whatever her answer is will be the same as mine."

"(Y/n)! Where's your kids? I wanna hold them right now!" Atasha squeals as she spoke, but you just laughed at her.

"You two haven't done it?! That's.." Hiroto tried to think of a word and eventually failed afterwards.

You shook your head with an embarrassed smile. "Do married couples has to do it that quickly? Can't it wait for like.. a year?-"

"NO!" they all said in sync with this weird, proud facial expressions.

But Hanji was an exception, well he is still silent as ever but he looked less depressed nowadays and it felt pleasant to see him like that.

"Oh, did you know Hanji has a girlfriend now?" Atasha babbles out loud, not afraid to expose someone.

You were the only one who didn't know the fact Hanji already had one, that's probably why he looks fine now- not like back then.

Hanji ignores everyone. "Does fishes pee underwater?" he silently asks himself with a serious expression, he doesn't know the answer- someone help him out.

A bright smile draws on your face, your eyes even sparkled. "No way? You should definitely let us meet her some time, idiot. Don't hide her from us."

Hiroto pouts as he casually brushes his hair with his fingers, trying to look attractive.

"I feel like the day will come when all my friends is into a relationship except for me." (a/n: same hiroto, same.)

Everyone giggles at him, "Its alright, dude. It'll come at the right time for sure. Just don't make yourself look worse in the future." Atasha says in a comforting tone.

But her sentences was like the exact opposite of comfort.

"Uhm, ok. That's rude-"

"Oh, you met up with Suzue earlier right? What did you guys talk about?"

You hold the tiny spoon beside your coffee and did circular motions on the drink, you recalled the conversation with Suzue.

"She just wanted to say that she was sorry for adding too many burdens on my shoulders like a few weeks ago."

"Then?"

You licked your lips. "Then I just forgave her."

Atasha pats your back with a warm smile while nodding nonstop. "You're such an angel, my dear."

"I am actually not."

"What made you forgive her, though? There should be some reason for it."

"Dunno. I just thought that if I didn't forgave her, then her life would be full of regrets in the next."

"I think its bad to be the reason why a person's life is full of regrets. And I would feel evil if I didn't accept her apology."

Hiroto slurps loudly on his coffee, all the people in cafe literally paused to look at him with annoyed expressions. "That's a lot of rough stuff." he muttered.

"I know. I'm getting tired of it to be honest." you lazily plop your head on the table with an exhausted look.

"I haven't even saw millionaire bastard for like two or three weeks. How did I even survive that?" you buried your face on your arms on the table.

After for like two minutes, none of your friends was talking and it was getting uncomfortable.

You peeked on your arms and you didn't saw anyone on the table except for you.

"The hell.. did they leave?--" once your lifted your head up, you could see Daisuke beside you sipping on your coffee.

You almost screamed, as if you just saw a ghost or something worse than that but you quickly covered your mouth to refrain yourself from doing that.

"H-How.. and where the heck are those idiots?"

You were glancing on your the large window beside you and could clearly see Hiroto and Atasha running away from the restaurant while dragging a confused Hanji with them. "This f..flipping betrayal."

It feels uneasy to randomly see him beside you, like legit out of the blue.

You only glued your eyes on the window beside you with your palm chilling on the side of your chin, avoiding eye contact from him.

He touches your chin to let your head turn around to look at him, "Why are you so shy?" he raises a brow while staring at your lips, your cheeks turned a bright crimson.

Why doesn't he age? He still looks the same as ever, still so perfect and it feels kinda unfair.

"I-I'm not shy. Who said I was?" you stutter as your eyes looks at another direction, you still can't look at him straight in his eyes- why is that so hard?

Your heartbeat pounded so much, it sounded like a hammer breaking a brick wall for some reason.

He smiles while staring at your face, he is acting so strange that you just want to crawl into a corner in frustration.

"I missed seeing your face." he said after stealing a quick kiss on the side of your lips.

"Well.. I didn't."

"Amorcito, can we go somewhere private?"

"What? Why? Isn't being here peaceful already?"

He stares at you again and frowns, "But I can't kiss you in public."

"W-Well, that's good!"
