if someone was to drop a pin in that conference room, Jun doubted that it would reach the floor. The room was flooded with reporters and cameramen to the brim. They were all squirming in their seats waiting for the big event to happen. Jun still wondered what they were waiting for. What could they be expecting? Were they all there to hear him and Iori say, yes we're dating, or no we're not dating? Was all this fuss over whether or not they were in a relationship. The notion of that was so ridiculous because even jun himself wouldn't have been as curious to know as them, even if it was about himself... To this moment he was still wondering how the old man managed to pull it off. It's been a week since their so-called scandal made the news. He would've understood why that caught the media's attention, Although they would never be on the same level as people from showbiz. They could still make a fuss over their affair if there was no other newsworthy scandal that day.

When she went back to the room, Jun was watching the feed from the conference room transfixed. He turned around to see her walk-in then went back to his meditation-like state.Iori took a deep breath trying to calm the anger swirling in her, and went to sit beside him on the couch.Her conversation with her father was still playing in her mind. He was giving her that order as if he was confident that she would listen to it. As if the most obvious thing was to obey whenever he opened his mouth to give an order. That's what happened when someone had too much power and entitlement for too long...luckily, the president was here and he could deal with her father's messenger in case they came. Some would have taken her father's words as an empty threat and that would be a mistake. He was perfectly capable of forcing her to go back to the main house and getting away with it. That's why they had to stop his men before they got anywhere near her.The president ha

"You're never letting that one go, aren't you?" Iori told Jun with an exasperated sigh, "Nope," He responded grinning from ear to ear, " And forego all the fun? No way!"  He was having way too much fun teasing her, who knew Iori would be capable of doing something like that in a moment of panic. That was hilarious. And the moment when she realized what she had done... Lord, her reactions gave him a kick better than any comedy skit he ever watched. "I was an Idiot. This is what I get for asking for your help..." Iori muttered into her cup averting her gaze from his. "How rude! After all the trouble I went through to get you away from those guys. I even broke the law,"  "Oh, so you know. Good to know that you realize what you did," Iori grumbled picking up her cup of water and sipping from it again as if it was some finely brewed tea or a glass of wine. But, it was still water. A poor substitute and not very convincing when som

"Do you have to bring all those school notebooks with you?" Her brother asked for the third time that day as he closed the box and taped it. "For the last time Haruki, those are references from when I need some information while I work. If you're not going to stop complaining about how heavy my belongings are, you should just sit down and watch while I pack by myself." Haruki grumbled something about uncute little sisters as he carried the box and put it on top of the growing pile of boxes. More than half of those were her books and they didn't even go through half of her collection. Perhaps she needed to tune things down a little bit.  Even though the third room in the new apartment was filled with shelves, there was a limit to how many books she could take with her since she was going to share them with Jun. "So, how did the first night go?" Haruki said standing up and looking at her waiting for her answer with undivided attention. This

"I can't believe that I will get to organize two famous authors' personal notes!" Said an overly excited Kajima as he stood by the door to their spare room in the new apartment admiring the piles of boxes and the rows of empty shelves."Move, you're in the way," Jun said all but kicking the ecstatic young man who didn't seem to have noticed as he looked around him with stars in his eyes.Iori and Kimiko sidestepped the dreamy man and got into the room. Not seeming to register Jun's exasperated glares, Kajima took one of the already open boxes and took a notebook out."This is the reference for one of JUn-sensei's books. even though I'm your editor I never got to see the prep work you did for your book. Your fans are going to be jealous of me when they hear that I got to organize them with you." Iori shuffled behind Jun who wasn't paying attention to his editor's gushing, or rather ignoring it.To think that Kajiima was a fan of Jun's works...
