Arya had a very peaceful and a straight sleep last night. "Did he come last night?’ She thought inwardly when she saw her empty side as she woke up.
Then, she heard a click on the door, it was Ryu, wearing shades. "Let’s have breakfast here at the balcony. I ordered room service," he said smiling. He was in his casual outfit already and was looking as handsome as ever. But, the shades seem inappropriate at this hour inside her room.
Arya’s forehead wrinkled. "Why are you wearing shades early in the morning? Didn’t you sleep here last night?" She asked while she rose up from the bed and tied her hair up in a bun. Then, she did some stretching.
Ryu did not answer and just watched her behind his shades. Arya frowned and asked again, "Hey, I asked what’s with the shades?"
Ryu finally smiled at her and said, "I got hit by a sleeping log last night."
He was embarrassed to even tell Arya that she was the one, responsible for him wearing shades.
Last night, he had actually crawled on her but was immediately pushed out by her strong arms, followed by a flying kick that landed on his face and caused a bruise below his right eye.
But he did still slept beside her, he was just restless practically the whole night, whenever Arya moved, she would suddenly lay her arm heavily on him, followed by her legs.
Not that he was complaining, though he felt like he was beaten up or mistreated the whole night with her various and extreme movements and re-positioning.
Arya walked towards him and removed his shades. "I did that?" She asked casually.
She knew that she was a boisterous sleeper, especially when tired or during good night sleep. Most of her classmates, whom she had slept with during overnight group projects or sleepovers complained to her about that.
She laughed, seeing Ryu’s bruise. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you about my sleeping habits but I’m not always like that, maybe seldom only." Then, she winked at him.
She leaned closer and gave his bruise a quick peck and said, "There, accept my apology. Anyway, you still look handsome." She smiled and quickly kissed him once more on his lips before turning around from him.
Ryu’s heart was melting at her simple and sweet gesture. He was not moving at all as he stared lovingly at Arya, who walked towards the restroom.
’Being kicked was not that bad anyway.’ He thought inwardly as he walked to the door when he heard the doorbell, which was probably the room service.
--------------
Arya had a rehearsal that morning, while he was free all day. He just dropped her off to the rehearsal venue.
"Go to Mr. Yamato’s house." He instructed his driver afterward.
Mr. Yamato was a good and close family friend. Ryu’s company was finalizing a deal with him.
"Oh, you are alone this time, where’s your tamer?" Mr. Yamato asked jokingly. He had known Ryu since his childhood and witnessed how the man had grown up.
Ryu was a good person. But Mr. Yamato considered him as a cold person, always with an expressionless face. That was the reason he was so surprised to see how caring he could be for the first time with a woman.
His daughter always pestered him to set her up with Ryu. But Mr. Yamato always reprimanded her as he thought that Ryu was not a family oriented person. His daughter was still young and was probably deceived by Ryu’s handsome appearance.
He just obliged to his daughter on convincing Ryu but he was actually thankful that Ryu was refusing him. He was not judging Ryu, but he had witnessed his aloofness almost all the time.
"Why are you still here? I thought your flight was today morning?" He asked casually as he instructed his servant to bring them some tea.
"I just dropped Arya at her rehearsal venue, and your home was just near, so I decided to visit you for a chat," Ryu answered simply. He liked Mr. Yamato, who was an easy person to deal with.
Supposedly, today was his flight back home but he decided to extend his stay to accompany Arya until her check-out and booked the same flight as hers. Arya was flying with business class, and he had it upgraded for the VIP class, the same as his.
The airline was owned by his family, so it was easy to arrange. Arya was not even informed about the upgrade of her seat yet, and he just intended to surprise her on that day with his unexpected presence.
Then, he laughed suddenly on his naughty thought. Mr. Yamato who saw that shook his head. Love was really a powerful thing that could change a person easily. He was happy that Ryu had found his match to thaw that coldness in him.
"What happened to your face?" His thoughts were interrupted when Ryu took off the shades and he saw his bruise.
"I was kicked for being a pervert," Ryu answered, smiling.
’He can even drop jokes now?’ Mr. Yamato thought inwardly still in awe with Ryu’s sudden change.
