Tik-tok-tik-tok. The clock strikes at 12:32. It’s been two minutes since he arrived. Two minutes of complete tongue-tied silence. What should I do? There is a great individual sitting in front of me and yet I’m still searching for the right words to say. “So when is our wedding?”, he finally asked. My heart pumped as if it wanted to jump right out of me. “I was thinking if 16 would be a good date?”.
“Yes, I think it’s perfect!”
“Really? That’s great! I’ll inform our wedding planner right away!”
Two years have past and many things had happened. How is he? I wonder what he’s doing. I wonder if he’s thinking of me too. I wonder…

“Table for two please.”
“Right this way sir.”
“So Saori, do you like my surprise?”
“Oh yes I do! I never thought you would do something like this. Thank you so much my dear Kazuya!”
“Let’s enjoy our special night.” He looked at me with a dazzling smile on his face. I can’t help but ask myself, who the hell am I to deserve a man this perfect? It’s been ten months since we started dating, and now I only have to wait for two more months before our much awaited nuptial. May 16th, exactly our first year anniversary as a couple, also our wedding date.
“Hey, can I ask you something?”
“Surely my dear Saori, what would it be?”
“Why?”
“I don’t understand, why what?”
“I mean, why did you choose me? There are a lot of other girls out there who has more potential, why me?”
“The world is swarming with millions of girls, but there will always be one Saori Takamoto, and that’s you my dear. I chose you as my lady because you’re you, always true and nothing to hide.”

Being with Kazuya makes me feel very special. He knows each and every attributes that I posses. It’s kind of freaky in a way, but at least he knows me better than anyone else. Of all the things we have in common, we enjoy fandom the most. As a sign of appreciation to everything he has done, I’m planning to buy him CDs of his favorite bands. Since I’m talking about fandom, there are wide varieties to choose from. Arashi, News, KAT-TUN, Hey! Say! JUMP are some of his favorites, but I’ll go with KAT-TUN. As I am about to reach for the CD,
“WHOA! SORRY! Didn’t see you there shorty.”
“Hey damn it! Look where you’re going! And who’re you calling shorty?!”
As I fix myself up and control my temper, I realized that a God-like individual is standing right in front of me. Was I dreaming? No, I think it was real.
“Let me help you with that. Everything all right? I really didn’t mean to. Sorry.”
“Yes, yes, I’m fine!”
“Good. I’m Jin by the way, sorry for calling you shorty. Nice to meet you!”
His voice sounded like music to my ears. It was hard for me to respond to him, yet somehow I still managed to do it. Jin, short and simple, yet a very nice name. Just like that, I knew his name. Just like that, I met a new friend. Just like that, my life opens a new chapter.
