"What did you say?" Kiyohira asks in a low voice .

Ren puts his hands in his pockets, looking smug . He has seen the way this man has been watching his Rie chan . This man's eyes didn't leave her for a second . Looks like she has attracted the bees when he was away .

"She confessed to me on my birthday . She even gave me a letter and this bracelet . "

"Is this true?" Kiyohira glares at her darkly . She doesn't deny or answer him . Before anyone can guess or react, she takes off her shoe and throws it right on Ren's face .

"Ow!" Ren falls on his b.u.t.t due to the impact . His nose is bleeding . He wipes the blood and looks up at her . His smile disappears when he notices the second shoe coming in his direction . It lands right on his forehead .

"That hurts . " He ma.s.sages his forehead . It's been eight years . Her anger hasn't reduced one inch . "Is this how you treat your boyfriend?"

"You lying f.u.c.ker!" She puts her hands on her waist . "For the last eight years, I have been planning how I to kill you . "

Ren touches the bridge of his nose . Is it broken? "Who will marry you if I die?"

Kiyohira has had enough . He clenches his fists and asks her in a dangerously low voice, "Who is he?"

Rie ignores him completely and takes long strides in Ren's direction . She pulls his red hair without any restraint . She kicks him between his legs . He howls in pain . "Woman, if you destroy my gear, it will be your loss . "

"You think that I will ever marry someone like you?" She kicks him again . "You scheming fraudster! You lied to me that day . I purposely lost to you in the game . Then, you shamelessly went abroad to study with the prize money . "

Kiyohira calms down when he sees her beating the red tomato into a pulp . But, they seem close . Is he really her boyfriend?

Ren grabs her hands and beams at her . "How have you been, my love?"

That's it . He has had enough . Kiyohira grabs Rie by her hoodie and drags her away from the redhead guy .

"What are you doing?" She frowns at him .

He looks into her eyes . "Why is he calling you his girlfriend?"

Why is he angry? I furrow my brows . I should be the one who is mad . Anyway, I can be anyone's girlfriend . What does it go to be with him? I want to ask him these questions . But, he looks like he will snap if I do .

"He is an old friend . " I give in . This guy is probably worried about Kamiyama's family reputations again .

"Lies!" Ren raises his arm . "You gave me this bracelet as a symbol of our love . "

"Do you want to die?" I crack my fingers . "Symbol of our love? You left just after I confessed to you . You never answered my confession . "

"You confessed to him?" Kamiyama's smile doesn't meet his eyes .

"I am replying now . " Ren pulls me toward him . "I like you too . "

"Screw yourself!" I try to lunge at Ren, but Kamiyama b.a.s.t.a.r.d doesn't let me go . "What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you, Kamiyama? Let me go now . "

"You love him?" He asks me, emphasizing the word 'love' . I take a deep breath .

"Kamiyama, it's none of your business . " I snap at him . "I a.s.sure you that my personal life won't trouble your Kamiyama family's reputation again . Anyway, I told you to resolve your s.h.i.+t as soon as possible . "

He gives me a look . "You never told me that you have a boyfriend . "

"He isn't my boyfriend . " My head hurts .

"I am," Ren yells at us . "I still got your letter as proof . By the way, why didn't you reply to my mails?"

"After everything that happened between us, you expect me to reply?" I glare at him . "Kamiyama, let me go now . I have to kill this guy today . "

"I told you to come with me, but you refused . " Ren walks to me and grabs my arm to pull me closer . Kamiyama doesn't let go of me . He pulls me back harder .

"Have you two lost it?" I shake my head at them . "I am a human being . Do you want to tear me into two parts? Let go of me now . "

But, they aren't listening to me . They are quietly looking into each other's eyes, like a pair of lovers . Ren is smiling like he is amused about something . Kamiyama is showing a smile that is not a smile . So, it is like this .

"By the way, is this love at first sight?" I let out a low laugh . "If you like each other so much, you should get a room instead of pulling me like this . This s.e.xual tension is too much for me to handle . "

It works . Both of them let go of me at the same time . Ren shakes his head and says, "Rie chan, you are the only one for me . I thought about you every day . I even sent you the ticket to come to me . But, you never came . "

"I hate liars . " I cross my arms and stare at him . "My confession isn't valid . Besides, I was young and naive back then . Else, how would anyone explain that I actually liked you once? Something must have been wrong with my eyes . After you left, I found enlightenment . I have been blinded by you . My only true love is Sakurano Kano . I will see you tomorrow in the special round . "

"Are you Sakurano Kano?" He glances at Kamiyama . "Is she in love with you?"

"I am not . " Kamiyama frowns at me . "I am also interested to know who this Sakurano Kano is . "

"He is my love . My enlightenment . " I roll my eyes .

"Wait for a second!" Ren steps in front of me . "Is that why you didn't reply to my mails or accept my invitation to come abroad? . "

"You dare to blame me, huh? You were the first one to lie and run away . " I pick up my shoe . "Come here . Let me beat you up again . My hands are itching . "

"I will not give up . I will find this Sakurano Kano . " He walks backward while waving his hands . "Rie chan, I will never give up on you . You are the only one for me . "

I throw my shoe at him again . But, he runs away before it can hit him .
