Chapter 2
It was a wild night full with sexy girls and alcohol. Ryo knew that going to the new club’s opening party would be a bad idea later but because his stupid cousin, Yamashita Tomohisa kept bugging him every second about it, he went there at last.
Ryo also knew that he shouldn't drink and drive. But on that particular night, he was the less drunk one compared to Yamashita. Looking disgustedly at the other who slumped into the seat beside him while murmuring some random girl's name, Ryo drove off from the club.
Halfway through the journey on the empty road, he found himself rubbing his blurry eyes. A heavy headache didn't help either. Even in that particular condition, his black Ferrari was running faster by seconds. He wanted to reach home as fast as he could and slumped himself onto the comfortable bed-
"Ryo! Be careful!!" Yamashita's voice along with a loud bang in front of his car woke him up.
With both hands still on the steering and sweat running quickly through his forehead, he looked across the steering.
"Did I just- " He gulped. His throat felt really dry.
Looking beside him, Yamashita's face couldn't be more terrified. He kept shaking his head like a crazy man.
"W-What should..we do now?" Yamashita asked his cousin. His body stiffened.
Ryo looked around the empty place. The surrounding area was so quiet and dark. There can't possibly be anyone around here, it’s too late already. He thought.
Closing his eyes while faintly mumbling 'Sorry', he reversed the car and the Ferrari flashed into the dark night, leaving the stiff body on the road.
"What the hell are you doing??!! We can't just leave him like that!!" Yamashita exclaimed. It almost looked like he wanted to jump off from the car to save the guy.
"Shut up, Pi! I know what I'm doing!" Ryo yelled, eyes still fixed to the road ahead of him.
"We- we should at least call the ambula-"
"JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!! This is your entire fault!! I'm not going to risk my reputation as the heir of Nishikido Empire just because of that dead man!!"
This time, Ryo's scream managed to get Yamashita to sit quietly. All he could do was sobbing in scare.
Ryo, on the other hand tried to manage himself from thinking of the accident that had just happened. But all he could think of is the man lying on the road, body full with blood.
Guilt ran all over his vein.
You're a killer, Ryo! A killer! Killer!
Cries filled up the wide blue bathroom as he let the water from the tap running through his body. As if he was trying to wash away his sin.
But no, he couldn't.
The water just kept pouring down, as Ryo continued to sob endlessly.

The next day didn't get any better to him. While having the usual breakfast arrangement with his parents, Ryo saw the news about last night. All major newspaper in the town published the hit and run incident. Apparently, the guy that he knocked down last night was an accountant by the name of Ohkura Tadayoshi.
"Ryo..are you ok, honey?" Mrs. Nishikido gave one concern look at her only son.
He gazed up from the article and looked startled.
"Um. Nothing..I'm fine." One fake smile appeared on his gloomy face.
"What kind of terrible person who hit a human-being and leave them just like that?" Mr. Nishikido folded the newspaper that he had read and started to dig in his breakfast. His father's husky, strict-toned voiced made Ryo gulped and looked down at his own meal.
'Me. I'm that terrible person. I hit a man and left him just like that. Your son is a murderer, dad.'
Ryo suddenly felt the need of lots of caffeine as he gulped on his latte.
"The world is getting full of selfish persons.." His mom added while shaking her head in disappointment.
"I'm going to work now." Ryo suddenly said, picking up his briefcase.
Mr. Nishikido's eyebrows twitched.
"Since when do you have any interest in work?"
Ryo grumbled upon hearing his father's teasing words.
"Now, now, otou-san..stop giving our son a hard time. Aren't you glad that he wants to go early to work today?" His mother tried to clear the tensed atmosphere.
Ryo didn't wait any longer. He just simply stormed off the big mansion and headed towards his car.
Looking at his favorite black vehicle, he couldn't think of anything other than last night’s tragedy.
"I'll drive the BMW today." He briefly said that to his assistant.
***
In the office, Ryo couldn't concentrate on his work. He just stared blankly at the paperwork in front of him.
"Er..Is there something wrong, Nishikido-kun?" His secretary, Mika gave him a worried look.
"Nothing." He continued to sign the paperwork but at the back of his mind, the voice from last night kept screaming the same thing. 'You're a killer!!"
"Mika." He said that while putting his pen off.
"Could you please do me a favor?"
She just blinked in surprise. "What is it, Sir?"
"Find where the funeral arrangement of Ohkura Tadayoshi will take place." He said.
"Eh? why-"
"Don't ask! Just go now!"
"Y-yes..sir..!" She quickly walked out from the room, leaving the very emotional Ryo alone.
***
That evening, with a bouquet of roses in his hand, Ryo went to Ohkura's funeral. Dark clouds started to appear out of nowhere, mourning with other gloomy faces that came to the ceremony. Wearing his dark sunglasses and a hat, Ryo hid behind a tree, tried to appear invisible to the public since everyone could easily recognize him as the only son of the Nishikidos.
As the ceremony begun, Ryo's eyes could only paid attention to one person among the crowd. That man, with a fragile look on his face threw a white rose onto the casket. Tears kept jerking from his brown orbs.
His hair was as dark as his tuxedo. The fair complexion of the man together with his beautiful eyes and lips made Ryo blinked in amusement. For the first time after the terrible night, he forgot about the incident and started to think of the man with white roses bouquet in his hand.
"Tatsuya..I'm sorry for your lost.." A tall man wearing a black hat patted the ‘white rose’ man's back and leave the ceremony.
Everybody else started to do the same thing.
Soon, there were only Ryo and the 'white rose' man at the cemetery.
The rain suddenly started to pour from the dark-cloudy sky but that man was still there, not moving a bit. He kept looking at Ohkura's tomb while crying. After quite a while, he put his right hand onto his lips and then towards the tomb, as if blowing a goodbye kiss while mumbling what Ryo managed to read as 'I love you'.
"The 'white rose' guy..is he..Ohkura's boyfriend?"
