"An arranged marriage?"
Tooru nods in reply. He looks fine by announcing all of a sudden by an arranged marriage. Noticing that you were spacing out, he places his hand on top of yours to comfort you.
"Love," He starts softly. "It's just an arranged marriage okay? I won't accept it. You're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with."
Hearing his sweet words, you smile in relief. The two of you started dating in High School, but kept it as a secret because your parents are so over protective. The only people who knows about your relationship are the members of the volleyball club. It's been 7 years ever since and your relationship is still staying strong. Of course when you were at the right age, you introduced Tooru to your family.
"Why did you agree with the marriage?"
He sighs, rubbing his temples and sets down his chopsticks. "Our biggest investor, Mr. Han wanted me to marry his daughter in exchange of a merging between companies."
What?
"Usually, dad doesn't care about my clients or investors wanting me to marry their daughters but this is, Mr. Han we are talking about." Right, Mr. Han is a famous businessman. He has a lot of money, and a daughter. People say that he really spoils his daughter, and what Han Ji Ra wants, she gets it no matter what.
"All my father ever cared about is money. He doesn't even care about my feelings." Tooru may look happy all the time, but deep inside, he always suffers. His parents were seperated when he was 5 years old. His father cheated on his wife, and his mother tolerated it, because she loves him too much but the cycle went on and on to the point that she gave up.
She left.
Tooru was always jealous of kids who had a complete and happy family. His father lied about his mother leaving, all he said was that his mother is just going on a vacation. He's been living his whole life as a lie until Hajime's father revealed the real reason.
He sobs silently in his seat. You didn't hesitate to wrap your arms around his shaking figure, humming to a song to somehow comfort him.
"Everything's just gonna be fine."
"That song again? Really?" Oikawa chuckles, wiping the tear from his cheeks.
A smile makes it's way to your lips. You're glad he cheered up. "Yep, Exo is the best."
He playfully rolls his eyes. "Whatever, I'm still more handsome than your Seehoon or your Elf ears Chanyeol."
"Hey! How dare you call them that!"
―
"I heard about it." Hajime says. "I swear to Kami-sama, if Kusokawa does not break off this marriage, I'm going to punch the living daylights out of him." He raises his fist in the air, making a really intimidating expression.
"Or kick him where the sun shines." Makki butts in, high fiving with Mattsun.
"Whatever you guys." You chuckle, siping your red wine.
The club members decided to have a reunion, but Tooru passed again, saying that he's busy with work. He's always busy, but he always makes time to spend with you.
"I'm serious." Hajime turns to face you with a stern expression. "I know that your relationship is as hard as―"
"―your bulge whenever you think of (f/n)!" Takahiro interjects, laughing so hard like a seal, slapping his thighs.
"Fuck you." Hajime sends him the finger, but Takahiro is too busy laughing on the ground.
You didn't know if Makki's joking, or trying to cheer you up because it worked. All the worries in your mind disappeared, and all you wanted to do is get drunk and forget about Tooru's deal.
"Okay guys!" You call the other member's attention by hitting your glass with a fork. "Drink's on me!"
Yahaba cheers, while Kindaichi is standing at the corner, staring at the empty space. Kyotani is already drunk, dancing with girls and flirting with them.
"That's the spirit!" Mattsun slaps your back, feeling proud that you have finally lost your thoughts about Tooru's arranged marriage.
Before you could chug down your vodka that Mattsun gave you, Hajime whispers in your ear. "Expect the unexpected, (f/n). There's a time where one perfect relationship will be broken."
You, on the other hand, didn't take his words seriously.
"Yea, yea, whatever."
Hours have passed, and people started to leave the bar, Yahaba and Kindaichi already left an hour ago, since they had work tomorrow morning. The trio picked up their coats, ready to leave the bar.
"Hey (f/n), are you sure you don't want us to take you home?" Hajime asks you.
"I'll just text Tooru." You smile and waved them off.
"You sure?" He asks again.
"Are you deaf?" Makki rolls his eyes, itching to leave the place. His wife is already waiting for him back in their house, and he's surely going to have a nagging wife on the phone driving home.
Hajime glares at him before they left, leaving you in the bar. Your brother is the owner of the bar anyways, so it's really okay to have you until closing hours.
"Still waiting for Oikawa?" Jungkook drops down the box he's carrying, dusting off the dirt in his hands.
"Yep." You answer shortly.
"I heard what Zumi's been talking about." Jungkook removes his apron, sitting down in one of the stools. "And he's right, baby sis."
"What, the part where a perfect relationship will be broken?" You scoff at the thought. "Well I don't believe in such things like that."
Jungkook's eyes lowers down. "You do know what happened to me and my first wife, didn't you?"
You nod. "But you have Rochelle unnie now. So it's fine."
Jungkook chuckles. "Okay, do me a favor missy. Do you mind interupting the couple over there?" He points to the couple making out on the couch at the very back of the bar.
Your face scrunches up in digust. "Why don't you do it?"
"Well, do you want to pay the drinks they drank?" He shot back.
You laugh in reply. "I'm doing it, okay? I'm standing up."
You walk towards the couple, poking the guy's back with the tip of your shoe but Jungkook calls you with a glare, mouthing: "Have some manners." You turn back around, wearing your shoes and imitate him.
"Have some manners."
"I heard that!" He yells from the stock room.
"Sir―"
"Tooru?"
Your heart breaks at the sight. She has so much exaggerating makeup, but she's really beautiful. Her body, every part about her screams sexy and attractive and it made you so insecure about yourself. Tooru eyes are wide as saucers. He's just as shocked and surprised as you are. Both of their lips are swollen, and his lips has a stain of her lipstick.
"Baby? Please, I can explain." He buttons his shirt, reaching out to you, but the girl pulls him back.
"Babe, who is she?"
"She's my―"
"Kook." You mutter. On cue, Jungkook comes into the scene, surprised and shock as you too. He hides you behind his back, protecting you from the heartbreaking sight.
"Tooru, I want you to leave right now." He says calmly, but his mind is full of thoughts, wanting to kill Tooru.
"Hyung, I can expla―"
"Get the fuck out of here, I don't want to see you near my sister."
Tooru looks at you in sadness one more time before he left with his fiancé.
Once the door was closed, your brother envelopes you in a hug, whispering words in your ear.
"Kook, you're right, I should've believed you."
"Nonsense. It wasn't your fault okay?" He pulls away from your hug, wiping your tears with his thumb. "I want you to stay strong, okay? We'll go to Tooru's house early in the morning tomorrow to gather your stuff. For the meantime, I'll book you a hotel so that you have a place to sleep."
You nod in reply, hugging him again.
―
"I'm sorry kiddo. Roch is so sick right now and I have to take care of her." Your brother apologizes for the nth time.
You chuckle, waving to Hajime who opens the door so you could step in his car. "It's okay Kook, Zumi's giving me a ride."
A pregnant silence stood for a few seconds before he interrupts.
"Do you have a place to stay in?"
"Nope." You say, popping the p.
Jungkook smirks from his side, his wife winking at him. They know about Hajime's long time one-sided feelings for you, and he's a great guy, a much more greater guy than Tooru. So they're setting the two of you up.
"What if you stay with Iwaizumi?" You spit out the coffee you're drinking. It makes a mess in Hajime's car but he waved it off, saying that it's just okay.
"What?"
"What?" He repeats, "You're good friends with him, ain't you?"
You ponder about it for a good minute, not knowing the real intention of your brother. Nothing's wrong with asking Iwa, right?
"I'll ask him."
"Bye missy."
"Goodbye Kook."
Hajime wants to ask what the two of you talked about, but he just goes quiet, focusing on driving.
"Kook wants me to move in with you."
"What?!" He steps on the brakes, whipping his head around to face you.
"It's fine, right?"
His face flushes into the color of pink, imagining what it feels like to have you as his roomate.
"Of course," He pauses to lean closer to you. "It's you."
It's clear that his word had a double meaning to it, but you were just too dense to notice it.
"But now," He cracks his knuckles, killing the engine and turns to face you. "I'm ready to punch the living daylights out of Assikawa."
