[Toru's POV]
I plan to invite Aisha to have dinner so that I can thank her and apologize and also explain what really happened last night. I reserved a private room at my favorite restaurant. I hope she accepts my invitation when I asked her later.
I rushed to her office after our recording and thank God, she's still there. I see that she's already wrapping up that's why I knocked on her door and start asking her. I'm nervous because she seems like she doesn't want to accept it but my heart jumps as said that she accepts my invitation and I help her to wrap up.
On our way to the restaurant which is a little bit far from the office, only the music playing in the car is all we can hear and I looked at her and she seems enjoying looking outside the windows.
Sh*t, she's so cute.
We arrived at the place and get ready to enter the restaurant. After we take our order. I see her staring at the window again. She's really enjoying the view huh.
I pulled out my phone and secretly took a picture of her. Then I saw her she took a picture of the view. To break the silence, I start a conversation with her.
When I get back to our unit I immediately text her to the number I secretly get on her application letter she sends to us before. HAHAHAHA Sorry for that. I set the icon to the photo I took earlier.
I blushed and smile as I saw the photo again, then Taka sends a message to the group

I left them because they will not stop teasing me okay. The reason why I don't bring them there is that it was really expensive and I know that those three can eat as much as they want and in the end when the bill is out, we're going to play janken and you know I always lose. -_-
I lay on my bed as I search her IG account and I saw that it was private so I sent a request to follow and when I saw that the three idiots are already following her account.
WHAAAAAATTTTT SO UNFAIR...
I put on my story the photo I captured earlier. Then I start to sleep because tomorrow is another busy day.

[Next day: 7 in the morning]
I woke up and start to prepare myself for work. I decided to eat breakfast in the café nearby the studio. After preparing myself. I received a message.

𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑢: 𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑀𝑜𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑜 𝑡𝑜 𝑜𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑒?

Seriously? As I open my door to leave, I saw him leaning on the other side of the wall, browsing his phone while waiting for me to step out of my unit. When he saw me he smiles.
Woah how handsome.
Me: "Why you didn't knock?"
Toru: "I don't want to interrupt your preparation"
Me: "Why did you wait for me?"
Toru: "Hmmm... wanna grab breakfast together?"
Me: "I'll only agree if it's not your treat."
Toru: "Fine.. fine.. I'd agree."
Me: "Btw how long did you wait?"
Toru: "Not that long, I just get out of my unit when I texted you."
Me: " I see, then it's my treat today" *smiles*
Toru: "Then I'll eat the most expensive dish" *laughs*
Me: "Go ahead" *chuhckles*
We take a walk since it was nearby and the studio is also near our apartment building. We choose a seat that is safe from not seeing him by the people. We enjoy our breakfast and I got a call from Yuka-san informing me that she's been out of the country for two weeks so I should.
After we eat our breakfast, we just walk to go to the studio. We passed by a pastry shop and I said that I'll buy something for the staffs and for the band members to say thank you for the party and for the acceptance. As we arrived in the studio, I immediately go to my office to start my work.
At lunch, Tomo-san invited me to join them since they are eating outside so I decided to go with them (Tomo, Ryota, and his wife) while Taka and Toru have a meeting with Goto-san so we take our lunch first.
I met Miss Michelle, Ryota-san's wife and she was super really nice. We have a great conversation and she asks me. I got nervous when she said that she thinks my face is familiar and she saw me somewhere but she can't remember when and where. I'm afraid that she may recognize me but she tells me that she may be mistaken me.
*Sigh*
What a relief. But don't get me wrong, I'm not a con artist or impersonator. It's just a long story to tell.
After lunch, we go back together to the studio. I saw a delivery man coming from the studio. I wonder what it is. When we passed the receptionist, he said that there's a delivery for me. When I saw it, there are 3 flower bouquets and 2 boxes. Tomo-san helps me to carry it to my office. I thanked him for the I start to look at it to know who is the sender.
The first one, a big bouquet containing blue carnation and pink roses is from the university where I graduated.
The 1st box is containing my diploma and other academic files related. The remaining 1 is containing a wristwatch and journal notebook from the university as an honor gift since I graduated with the highest grade in our batch.
The second one with a mix of different variants of pink and white flowers arranged in a box with three gifts is from my favorite aunt, Yuka-san.
Of course, I was happy to receive it but on the third one, the last bouquet...
I feel a little sad when I see who is the sender of it. Yeah, I'm happy but my chest is getting heavy. Later on, Yuka-san called
Yuka: "Did you received it?"
Me: "Yes Aunty, thank you so much, I appreciated it."
Yuka: "I'm glad you like it, sweety."
Me: "Yuka-san, Is mother here in Japan?"
Yuka: "Huh? what do you mean?"
Me: "Hmm.. nothing, just you know ..."
Yuka: "I don't hear any news yet but don't worry I'll inform you if she's here. "
Me: "Ah.. okay thanks, then I'll end this call."
Yuka: " Okay okay, Bye sweety."
Me: "Yes, bye. Thank you again."
Now my office is full of flowers and the day ends with getting home carrying those flowers with the help of one of our staff with the same direction.
