They walked around Nagoya Castle where the exhibition was interesting and took a pleasant stroll in its garden. Next was at the oldest landmark-Atsuta Shrine, with more than 1900 years history.
The last place they went to was the biggest Japanese Garden-Shirotori Garden, where they stopped for a while to enjoy tea in a traditional tea room.
Arya opened her purse to give Ryu the ticket for their fashion show. Ryu smiled and said, "I was about to purchase one on my own, cause inviting me took you so long. I just thought about surprising you with my grand attendance instead."
He was obviously complaining that she invited him just now.
"It’s still early. You’re just not used to waiting, are you?" She said simply and sipped her green tea with Japanese confectionery.
"Why do you even like me?" Arya suddenly asked out of nowhere.
She still couldn’t believe that Ryu Ken would like her in a short span of time like that. Not that she was saying it’s impossible, but he was Ryu Ken, how come he trusted her so easily and liked her to this point. She was not that dumb and clearly felt his sincerity towards her.
Ryu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do I need to answer?"
"Don’t answer if you don’t want to," Arya reacted with pouted lips. She remembered the same trending words from him when she asked about his engagement with actress Liza. Just this time, at least, the word ’nonsense’ was not included at the end of his sentence.
Ryu laughed and returned the same question to her, "Why do you even like me?"
"Who said I like you?" Arya answered. She was only teasing him. Ryu looked at her closely. His gaze was so intense that Arya couldn’t take his eye to eye contact.
She smiled and spoke enthusiastically, "Okay. I like you because you are a handsome and sexy boyfriend, as you declared a while ago?"
"That’s all?" Ryu complained while he looked at her intently.
"Hmm, what else? Because you are good at kissing, you smell nice and you are quite the sweet, good and caring boyfriend so far?" Arya added giggling.
"How about me? Why do you like me?" Arya asked once more out of curiosity.
"Come here and I will tell you," Ryu said while gesturing her to sit beside him. Arya followed and looked at him as she waited for his reply. "Move closer," Ryu instructed with a devilish smile.
Arya frowned as she saw Ryu’s wicked smile. Before she could stand up, Ryu swiftly embraced and kissed her.
"Because you are naive," Arya heard him murmur between his kisses. That moment, she felt like her body was suddenly splashed by cold water. She felt that the word naive didn’t suit her at all.
She erased the negative thoughts out of her head and just enjoyed Ryu’s warm lips against hers.
It was their sixth day of knowing each other, and the third day of being officially in a relationship. As what Kay had mentioned, it could be considered as a whirlwind romance, because everything was happening too fast.
Today was her sister’s transplant operation day, and she was waiting for her mom’s call to tell her the status and outcome of the operation. She could actually call her mom and ask but she was a little bit nervous. Her pitiful, little sister undergone such hardship at an early age. She hoped and prayed that this time around, Reese could start a normal life and enjoy her youth.
She released herself from his intense kissing then she cupped his face and looked Ryu in the eyes.
’I am really sorry. I promise to make it up to you in the future should our paths come across once more.’ She wanted to voice it out but held herself.
Instead, she kissed his cheeks, nose, eyes, and forehead, then lips. She basically showered him with sweet little kisses all over his face.
Ryu was flabbergasted. Thus, his face unexpectedly reddened. Arya smiled, seeing him act like a teenager who had been harassed by the girl he liked. This side of Ryu Ken was probably unknown to others and she was glad she’s been able to know and witness this side of him.
---------------
"You should sometimes try to act like a normal citizen so you can experience how it’s like, traveling with simple people or like a simple one." Arya was giggling as she dropped those words to Ryu.
They went back by bullet train once more, but this time with others occupying the rest of the seats.
Ryu no longer commented and just cuddled her during the entire trip. It was his first experience of traveling with a lot of people and hearing their chats. He was born in a strict and very rich family. He was well pampered as a child and could be considered as ’royal blood’ because of their family wealth.
He grew up as a calculative person, and there’s no room for mistakes.
Their family owned one of the largest and most diversified conglomerates, engaged primarily in business that served a growing middle class with rising disposable incomes worldwide – the RK Summit Inc. Group of Companies. But he didn’t want to get involved with their messed up family matters, so he put up his own business-Ramada.
Arya was right; being a simple and normal person was not a bad experience at all. Especially, when Arya was around him, every experience was memorable and fun.
