You wanna know the shortcut to love? The answer's easy: Marriage. After all, who ever we end up with we always get married with that person. Love is nothing but just a simple mere fool's game for me. But I, Mikan Sakura, am no fool. But I believe in something: life is unpredictable- expect the unexpected. Unfortunately, I forgot this principle of mine today and now, I'm currently in a situation that is troublesome. Very troublesome.
My hands kept shaking out from fear. Fear from what? From the unknown. I feel like I'm in some reality show being filmed secretly right now- and it's creeping the hell out of me. You wanna know why, right? Curiousity kills the cat, you know, but I just rather tell you since it's bugging the hell out of me. Anyway, I'm currently in some unknown and big room with some flowers, surrounding the bed I'm currently sitting on, with letters and sashes with words engrave, 'Congratulations on your Marriage' and others, 'May God bless you and your husband'.
Is this was suppose to be some joke from Hotaru? If it is, it's not funny at all. I rose up from my spot and just realize that I'm wearing a white frilly wedding gown and its totally itchy. I touched my forehead, trying my very best to remember what exactly happened earlier. But, alas, I cannot. How disappointing it is on my part. Then I heard footsteps just outside the door and it made my heart pound faster than ever. Who could it be?
The door opened slowly, making a long creak and also at the same time, making me nervous. I felt my teeth shaking a bit but I did my best to toughen up and face this mess I'm currently in. Then the door opened, revealing a tall figure. My jaw dropped down, I couldn't believe what I just saw.
Natsume Hyuuga, my enemy and neighbor, was in a Tuxedo- fixing himself up. "N-Natsume?" I muttered loudly and unknowingly as I stared at him from head to toe. He glanced at me and suddenly his forehead went all wrinkled up. "What's wrong?" he asked, eyeing me a bit.
"What's wrong?" I gawked at him, putting both of my hands on my hips. "Everything is wrong! Why am I in such room with those flowers around? And not to mention, I'm wearing some creepy gown." I continued to wait for his reply. But he just simply passed me by and remove his bow and jacket, throwing it on the bed. And next, he tried to unbuttoned his polo shirt. "Stop that!" I shouted at him. And so he did.
He turned around at me, raising a brow. "What's the matter with you?" He asked, slightly angry perhaps. "We're already married for Christ's sake!" Silence filled the air between us.

"Married? When did such thing happened?" I shouted or more like scream at him.
