I can not concentrate while waiting inside my office. I also tried to write so I could not think of what Taehyung told me earlier but I did not succeeded. I should be excited because today we are going to talk about our marriage with my lawyer but my brain is messy now. Add more nervousness that I feel now because I do not know what rules Ash would request because our marriage is just a business. However, my worries and emotions are more dominant about Taehyung talked about before I left the mansion.

Flashback

"I saw your mom, Suga."

I suddenly stopped at my very location. My muscles seemed to cool down. I also felt the cold sweat that formed on my forehead and neck. I also clenched my fists. I quickly jumped over to him to grab his polo but I stopped in front of him. I still can not handle him even though I'm so angry now. He stood upright and somewhat bent down to meet my glares. How dare he joke about seeing my mom? 

"Still can't manage to get close to me huh? Such a loser!" He spat and  chuckled.

My blood boils in anger, but he's right. I'm a loser. I can not lay my hands on him even if though I wanted to punch his face. Just like, every moment. I chose to put my hands in my pockets. Trying my best to suppress my anger. I know, Taehyung just like to piss me off.

"I'm not lying about seeing your mom, Brother. I am actually looking for her now. She age a lot. I wonder if she manage to eat good food while his son was having his own apartment, good food, fame and decent job in his hand. Now, in near future time. Will become the owner of his Granny's company."

I closed my eyes tight and took a deep breath. He really is here to upset me. Yet, if he is saying the truth, I need to know where my mom is.

"Where is she?"

Taehyung, walk closer to me with smirk on his face. I look up to him because he was tall. He grabbed my neck tie and fix it carefully and spoke.

"What made you think, I will tell you?"

I forcefully step backwards and that made him let go of my neck tie. Taehyung put his hands inside his pocket and look at my eyes straight.

"Give up everything and I make sure that you'll see your mom safe, sound and  ALIVE."

I was pull back to reality when I heard a soft knock on the door. I immediately fix myself because maybe Ash and the lawyer already here. The door slowly open and my secretary get in. She still have her bangs and huge spectacle.

"Sir, your lawyer and one girl is looking for you. Should I let them in?" She asked.

"I though you already know they have schedule with me? Why asking? Anyway, just let them in... And do you job well next time, Ms. Pyryt."

Ms. Pyryt nodded her hed slowly with her cheeks painted with red, maybe because of shame. The next thing I witness is my lawyer still with his straight suit and Ash next to him enter my office.

They both sat down on the soft couch.  I stood up and join them. I sat down next to Ash facing the lawyer. She, like the normal days is wearing simple jeans and plain colour shirt. Her hair was bun messy and not wearing any make-up.

The lawyer open his case and put down one bond paper and a pen. It was blank. We both look at it and Ash was the first one to ask question.

"What is that for?"

"For rules and regulations in your marriage. I thought this one is needed since this is a business marriage." The lawyer told us casually. 

"Just say the rules and I will write it down. You first, Miss soon to be Mrs. Min" He told us, and he sounds like teasing.

"If we will get married. I am willing to live with the same house but, different room." She said.

"Of course!" I commented.

"We will divorcé once I payed the money I lend from him. Just wanna be fair." She added.

"That's fair enough." I comment again.

"Last, No kissing, even in front of other people. I reserve this for my real future husband and lastly, no honeymoon."

We all get quiet after Ash said her last request. Why does she need to mention honeymoon? I'm not even thinking about sleeping on the same bed as her.

"O-of course. I'm can't touch peo--"

"But you can touch me now, Suga. I just wanted to be clear here." Ash cut me in mid-sentence. We glare at each other like only us were here until the lawyer interrupted us with his clearing throat sound.

"How 'bout you Mr. Min? Any rules?" He asked.

I suddenly thought what kind of rules should I add since Ash, honestly told everything the rules that marriage business have.

"Hmmm... I guess, no one is allowed to date others because we are husband and wife? I mean, people is watching and I'm not only a simple person. Rumors can be spread in one minute if we do something foolish."

They both rolls their eyes like I said something nonsense.

"Of course, I won't date any other guy! I won't cheat on you even we are fake lovers. Just, do the same thing." Ashley commented and smile at me.

We laugh altogether. When I'm with them. I feel like a real person. I can laugh, I can complain, I can do any expression. I'm just too comfortable.

"Okay, since this is settle. I will go now. I need to take care of the money I have to get from the bank. Expect the money in two days prior today, Mr. and Mrs. Min."

He tease us again and close his case and stood up. He stretch his arm to us and Ash accepted it speedily and I did too but I only shake his hand too fast. I'm still learning to be comfortable touching other people. He walks to the door and get out.

I sat down again on the couch and face Ash. I was feeling nervous and I can see her cheeks getting red too. Like she has a fever. Her eyes wander around like avoiding mine, yet, I call her name.

"Ash..." She humm and finally look at me.

"I asked my lawyer how to propose properly and he recommend a lot of scenario and stuff, but, I can't do all those. They are so cheesy and... " I stop halfway on my speech and get something from the pocket of my suit.

"And?" She asked and eventually covered her mouth when she saw I was handling a red small box. I open it in front of her and there a white gold ring with huge diamond was place.

"Don't asked me to kneel down because you I won't do that. I hate dirt... " I started and scratch my nape. I look up at Ashley's face. Her eyes started to get watery and the cheeks became more red.

"Ash, will you marry me? though this is just a business. I guess, a woman like you deserves a formal proposa---"

Ash, hug me tight. So tight that I couldn't move nor breath. If I was in my old state, maybe I already yell at her and push her away but I did not do it. I suddenly heard her cried softly, and sniff.

My heart... My heart suddenly thump fast and I don't know the reason. Maybe I just feeling overwhelm that I finally manage to embrace someone. I'm getting near to finally get cure. Ash, made it possible for me. This woman is special, a closest one to my heart after my Mom, Kelli and Grandma.

"Oh my God, Suga! I was actually grieving for not having a romantic and full of love wedding of my life. Yet, you are here. Proposing to me properly! You are getting better! The woman you will love in the future is very lucky!"

She exclaimed and showed me her finger. Like asking me to wear the ring on her which I did. I actually can feel my trembling hands while wearing it to her. She raise her hand and look at the ring full of love then gaze back at me.

"Thank you for this. You've been doing a lot for me." She said and that made me smile.

"You deserve it. Those weren't enough for helping me to cure myself. To be able to touch, and to appreciate people around me. You're the one doing much for me Ash, you even here said yes to marry me."

I scan her face and tears messed her cheeks. They are sparkling, like precious diamonds. Woman never should cry yet I made her cry. Just thankful it was tears of joy. I unaware slowly raise my hand and drawing it closer to Ash's face when the door suddenly open. It was my secretary.

"Sir, you have meeting in twenty minutes."

She said it not looking at me but to Ash. Like, she knew her and hated her whole existence.

"Ok, I'll be out soon. Next time. Don't forget to knock."

Ms. Pyryte nodded and I stood up. Ashley also did and wipe off her tears on the cheeks. I walk closer to my table and get my laptop and some folders. I was busy cleaning my table because I still hate dirt and I cannot get out this room without reassuring that my working table is clean as polished.

"Hey! Your secretary. She looks familiar."
