He
was unable to articulate anything properly and in the end I couldn’t help but
think he was kind of adorable. My heart is beating as so fast… Soji might hear.
Yuri:
(I can’t sleep like this. But if I move, I might wake him… would that be
against the erms of our contract?)
I touched him gently; he hugged
me with more strength than before.
Yuri:
“…Soji?”
No answer. So… I guess… he’s
sleeping?
In the end, I hardly slept at
all. Soji was still hugging me by the time morning came.
The next morning, Mr. Kosaka
came to the condo to drive me to work.
Yuri:
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kosaka. I’m afraid I’m adding to your workload…”
Kosaka:
“Don’t worry about me Ms. Yuri, you’re the wife of the company president.”
Yuri:
“Even so…”
As I hadn’t slept much since
morning came, I couldn’t stop yawning.
Kosaka:
“Are you tired?”
Yuri:
“Yes, quite…” (Obviously, I can’t tell that I couldn’t sleep because Soji was
hugging me…)
Yuri:
“Um… what do you think of Soji, personally?”
Kosaka:
“Hmm… well, I’ve never seen a more capable individual.”
Yuri:
“Really?”
Kosaka:
“He never forgets what he sees or hears, particularly faces. He even remembers
details about people he merely passes by.”
Yuri:
“That’s incredible.
Kosaka:
“In addition, he has some novel ideas concerning work. However, he is strict to
himself and others, and thus has many enemies.”
Thinking about it, I had a
feeling Sawatari told me about this before. Either way, anyone could tell how
amazing a person Soji was.
Yuri:
“Why would a person like that choose me…”
Kosaka:
“That’s something only he knows… But I can tell he’ll never let anything that
catches his fancy escape. Whether it is a person or a task at work, he
approaches it the same way. He’s good at negotiating, so most people find
themselves swept up by his tricks.”
That’s pretty much what happened
to me. As if by magic, he made me feel how he wanted me to feel.
Yuri:
(And, I wasn’t because I’m a simple-minded person…)
Little by little, I felt as
though I was coming to see who Soji Shirogane was. Perhaps if I knew more about
him, I might be able to accept him.
After a few days, when I was
home from work and cooking, Soji came back. and then, the first thing out of
his mouth…
Soji:
“We’re going out tomorrow.”
Yuri:
“Tomorrow? It’s Saturday, so I have the day off from work… Where are we going?”
Soji:
“I haven’t decided yet.”
Yuri:
“Huh?”
Soji:
“I’m off too. Going out seems like a good choice.”
I could tell Soji was blushing a
little.
Yuri:
“Then, why not relax at home? You always look so busy…”
Soji:
“What? You don’t want to go out with me?”
Yuri:
“No. I want to, for sure…”
Accidentally revealing my true
thoughts to him, I covered my mouth and looked over at Soji.
Yuri:
(…Is he blushing? Could it be… he’s embarrassed?)
Soji:
“What are you laughing about?”
Yuri:
“Oh, nothing! Well then, let’s go out, just the two of us.”
Soji:
“I was the one you asked you out, you know.”
Yuri:
(He’s not as docile as usual…)
But I realized that I was
greatly looking forward to tomorrow.
