Chapter 1
Sakurai household was filled with distinguished guests who came for their annual Christmas party however once again the heir of the Sakurai Corporation, the biggest tycoon of Japanese property, was nowhere to be seen which disappoint most of the ladies and business partners who wished to introduce their daughter, hoping to be in laws with the family. Sakurai Sho, the eldest son of the family, never participate in any of the Christmas or new year party. He is a hardworking and talented businessman. He was chosen as the top 20 of the most eligible bachelors in the world and top 3 in Japan for five consecutive years. Although his successful stories always published in most magazines all year round, his private life remain a secret and he always cautious of every of his movements. This caused curiosity among the public and the paparazzi who tried to catch him in action, but none ever succeed. Not only the public, even his own family were clueless about it. His parents were curious but never interfered since he had working hard as the heir and never failed to meet their expectation. As much as they wanted him to get married, they had to keep their promised to let Sho decide himself when it came to his life partner.
Being born as an eldest heir of big corporation, Sho was aware that his perfect life was much planned since he was in his mother stomach. He obediently listens to his parents being the best son and best example to his younger siblings till he met the love of his life 15 years ago when he went on a trip with his grandparents to suburb area in Japan. They fell in love at the first sight and still deep in love with each other till now. He is the reason why he worked so hard and obediently followed his parents order. He needs to gain his parents trust to protect their love. While the other students were busy thinking of their future during their final year in high school, he started to build his own property investment portfolio although he needed his grandfather's help for the name since he was still a minor. By the time he graduated from the University, he is already a young business man with billions worth of properties in his own name. He was thankful to his grandparents who always supported him and wished for his happiness. They except his love with open heart and his grandfather was the one who taught him how to protect his love. "Even when you are rich, you are as good as poor when there is no happiness and love in your heart." His grandfather's advice engraved deeply in his heart. When his parents wanted him to join their family corporations, he agreed with two conditions. First, he will work harder than anyone but every end of the year he needs one month break from 24th December till 25th January and his parents have no rights to questions or disturb him during this period. Any urgent matters must go through his secretary or his grandparents and only them can contact him. Secondly, he is responsible for his own choice of his life partner and his parents have no right to choose or to arrange any business marriage for him. As much as he hates to threaten his parents, this is the only way for him to protect his love. Reluctantly, his parents accepted the conditions, knowing Sho is capable to lead his own life even without his parents support and with his grandparent backing him up."Love surely made people do crazy things." Sho grinned at his best friend aka his secretary comments. Ohno Satoshi was his best friend since childhood and his most trusted person. Ohno's father used to work with his grandfather. He is good in keeping secret even Sho's parents unable to break it despite all the bribes given to him. "That is the power of love. You will feel it when you found the one for you." Sho replied. Satoshi went closer to him, so he can whisper to Sho ears. "How long more are you going to keep your marriage as a secret. I'm surprised he was still with you even after all these years. Both of you deserve to love freely." Sho smiled at his friend. He knew the other care for him, but he needs to ensure he was fully prepared before it was out in open.

"I'm sorry sir, as much as we are thankful for your trust in our restaurant, it is our tradition that we are close from 24 December to 25 January every year so we are unable to take your request for the catering, however we can offer you French cuisine from our partner's restaurant and I guaranteed you will be satisfy with the food quality". Ninomiya Kazunari, the restaurant manager, felt bad to reject his client's request but he had no choice. He dialled a familiar number as soon as he hangs up the earlier call while typing an email. "Seems like I'm getting a good business deal?" Nino laughed at Jun's word on the other line. "I'm emailing you the client's details and their request. Please follow it up as soon as possible, he is waiting, and he is one of our most precious client" Nino replied. "And yet your boss is fine introducing him to us instead of compromising his holiday?" Jun asked. "You know this holiday is much more precious to him above anything else and since he is one of your restaurant's investor, he still earned the profits, so he doesn’t care." Nino replied while sending the email to Jun, the head chef of their French restaurant branch, Jules Le'Bistro. He hangs up the phone after Jun confirmed he had received the email and will follow up with the client. It had always been like this whenever there are requests during the holiday period for their Chinese restaurant which belong to his best friend Aiba Masaki, it will be referred to Jun if the clients are fine to change their course from Chinese to French Culinary. Jun's reputations as one of the top 5 French culinary Chef played an important role in persuading the clients for the change.Nino and Masaki are childhood friends, while Masaki met Jun in cooking school, but Jun then left for France to focus on French cuisine. The Chinese restaurant originally ran by Masaki's grandparents, but he took it over when his grandfather passed away and his grandmother unable to handle it alone before she passed away 5 years ago. "Someone is happy to meet his love." Nino just love to see his best friend flushed face. At first, Nino was against their relationship because he knows it won't be easy especially with the other family background, the chances for his best friend being hurt is high and he can't bear to see his best friend in pain. But seeing how much they love each other, how the other manage to make Masaki happy and felt love after the death of Masaki's parents, he accepted it with a warning to the other that he will kill him if he ever hurt Masaki. "Can you stop teasing me" Masaki tried to be angry but the pink spot on his cheek showing his true feeling. "I just love to see your shy bride look. We must leave now, or you will be late” Nino drove him to the lovebirds’ secret marital home in the suburb. Nice house with a nice view of the lake in front of it. Quiet from the busy city life and far from everyone. Perfect hidden place for his well-known prince charming.
Sho was welcomed with nice smell of food but his love was nowhere to be seen. He went to their bedroom and heard the water running in the bathroom. "Masaki!" "I'm here Sho-chan" Masaki shouted from the bathroom. Sho took off his clothes to join his lover in the shower. He missed the other although they talk on the phone and exchange pictures on his private phones daily. Masaki shivered as soon as the other arms on his waist. He missed the other touch. "Happy Birthday Masaki." The other turned him and claimed his lips. He can't hold back anymore and returned the kiss. "I missed you so much Sho-chan, I want to feel you" Sho looks at the other sad eyes. He knew the other was suffering but never complain and he feel guilty for being the source of his lover's unhappiness. He pinned the other to the glass door and preparing him. Masaki moans aroused him and his member twitched to enter him as he missed him like crazy too. Masaki shouted when his love entered him in one fast move. It's painful but it was the pain that he is longing for. "Sho-chan... deeper..." Sho didn't need to be told twice. He pushed it deeper and his right hand touching the other member jerking it off. Both came moaning by each other's name. "I love you Sho-chan" "I love you too baby". They cleaned themselves and get dressed. They walked hand in hand to the kitchen to have their dinner. Sho always love Masaki cooking and no one can cook as good as him even his own mom. Masaki cooking always reminded him of his grandma home cooked meal.
After dinner, both cuddling together in front of the small fireplace in their house. They bought this house a year after their secret wedding in Hawaii before Masaki grandparents passed away. Only their three close friends and both of their grandparents are there. Sho parents are still unaware of it. They used to meet at Sho grandparents house, but they were almost caught by Sho's mother when she came for sudden visit. To avoid suspicions, the house was bought under Masaki's name. They had missed each other so much. They do meet occasionally at Tokyo as friends with the others to avoid any suspicions. Just like Orihime and Hikoboshi, these are the only days they can be together as who they are sharing their love. Their close friend called them the Tanabata Couple “We should change our name Aiba Hikoboshi and Sakurai Orihime.” Masaki suggested “and why am I the Orihime instead of you?” Sho asked unhappy to be given the girl character. “because you are the spoil brat between us” Masaki ran away before Sho could catch him. Masaki knew how much Sho hate to be called as a spoilt brat and it was the best way to tease him.
Both fell in love at the first sight when Masaki helped Sho, when he fell from a horse 15 years ago, while he was at a nearby farm during the summer at his grandparents’ holiday home in the suburb. If not because of Masaki, Sho may not be able to walk when he fell down after the horse he rode suddenly went wild. Masaki who was helping at the farm for his summer holiday managed to pull the horse before it steps on Sho. Since then, they became closer and declared their love for each other before Sho went back to Tokyo two weeks after the incidents. At first, they thought this relationship may not be worked out especially with Sho status. Although both stayed in Tokyo, they won't able to meet and love freely due to Sho's family reputation. Masaki was reluctant to continue their relationship after he found out the truth about Sho's family but Sho was adamant to continue it. At first, they met every summer however it caused them to miss each other birthday. Since their birthday was apart by 33 days, they decided it will be the perfect time for their own Tanabata period. They will meet on Masaki birthday and parted on Sho’s birthday. Fortunately, both of their grandparents accept their relationship and always supporting them. They exchange a Christmas gift. Sho received a maroon sweater with his name on his left chest and Masaki received a dark green muffler with his initial. Sho passed him another gift for his birthday. Masaki used to whine how he only got one gift from his family and friends because his birthday was on Christmas eve, but Sho had always prepared two gifts for him. Masaki love the watch. He blushed when he read what's written on the small card.
"This watch will remind you how much I love you every second of my life." - Sakurai Sho.
Masaki look at Sho. "For every second my heart beats only for you" Masaki claimed the other lips till they are breathless. "Make love to me Sho-chan". Sho carried him princess like to their bedroom to show the other how much his words meant.
