Decision at Christmas
Chapter five: Unrealized feelings
"Ken! Would you get up from your bed?! I've been waking you for two hours and you have not shown any sign for getting up!" yelled Mrs. Hidaka to her son. The guy groaned and buried his head on his lovely pillow, trying to get more sleep. He heard his mother sighed and leaved his room. He grinned happily. But suddenly, he felt something cold was poured onto his face. He cried the word 'holy shit' before getting up. He touched his face and saw his mother –which was smirking that time- was holding a vase. Few drops of water were dropped from its top.
"Now, that was what you get for not obeying me," said the woman cheerfully. "Well, what are you waiting for, child? Get up and take a bath."
Ken growled and saw his mother walked out from his room. He lied down, curled up and tried to sleep before he felt his king-size bed was wet. Knowing he couldn't get sleep anymore, he had no choice but to do as his mother said. Slowly, he made his way towards the bathroom. He looked at his own reflection in the mirror and sighed. Just one word would be suitable for him: nauseated. His eyes were tired, his face was pale and his hair was mess. He couldn't sleep last night and when finally he could sleep, just two hours later his mother came in and woke him up.
Ken himself certainly knew why he couldn't sleep last night. His mind was full with the picture of his betrothed, Ran Fujimiya. Yes, they were betrothed last night. Actually, they were having no idea about that until their parents said it would be better if they were betrothed first. 'Since they needed to get know each other better', reasoned Mr. Hidaka. Ken watched in shock when he saw his father clapped his hands twice and two waiters came in. Both of them brought small box. The brunette saw his father handed one of the boxes to the red-head guy. The amethyst eyes showed no hesitation at all while he opened it and took out one silver ring. He grabbed Ken's hand and slipped the ring carefully.
Both of their rest families watched in amazement. They didn't expect Ran would be so confident to handed Ken the ring. The other servant who brought the other box slowly approached the couple. Ken realized what he had to do at once. He took the box and opened it. There was another silver ring which precisely had the same form as the one he wore. He slipped it on the red head guy's ring finger.
The brunette sighed deeply once more after he recalled his memories. He took a bath immediately and joined his parents in the breakfast room. In his way there, he glanced at the ring on his finger. He hated to admit it but the ring was really beautiful. His hazel brown eyes studied it better and stopped at once. The word 'I give my heart and soul to you' was carved in there. Ken really wanted to vomit in disguise when he read them. How dared his father do this to him? He sighed once again. Slowly, the brunette smiled. He never knew his father was this romantic before. He came into the breakfast room and was greeted by odd and daggers looking eyes from his father. The head family took a long deep breath before saying, "We need to talk to you, my son."
Ken gulped and nodded slowly. There was a long silence between them. Ken wondered why his father need such so long time before he spoke. He didn't dare to look face to face with his father so he kept his head down and stared at the omelets in front of him with great interest. Surely, he missed the exchanged smirking between his parents.
"Both of me and your mother are very dissatisfied with last night. We could not believe what was happened between you and your betrothed. You have disappointed us, my child. Even if you do not want to be betrothed with him, you should not do that!" said Mr. Hidaka. Ken just lowered his head in embarrassment. He felt really guilty that time. His parents gave him their trust and hope, but he failed them! He betrayed them!
"How could you spend your first meeting with him like that? You really have displeased us. You spoke no word with him!! We're really ashamed, boy!"
Ken blinked several times. Had he heard the right words? Were his parents mad at him because he and Ran spent their dinner in silent? The brunette shook his head slowly. Sometimes, he could not understand his parents. Why they considered the silence as a catastrophe?
"However, you must make certain that such a thing will not going to happen again. Now, it seems like you have to go. I am sure you have missed your lectures several hours, due to your late awaken."
The young master had no choice but to obey his father. He walked out from the room and get ready to go. He realized his father had spoken a little bit too courteous and cold to him. Ken considered it as the sign which showing his father was really angry. The Head Family always spoke politely to his son every time he got irritated. Usually, it did not last long but the brunette doubt that this time. He never saw his generally ridiculous daddy this annoyed. He sighed once more when he got in his car and drove. When he arrived at his university, he looked at his ring and kissed it.
On the other hand, the parents were discussing their next strategy. After talking for a while, at last they have reached their resolution. A little help from matchmaker would not be so bad, would it?
********
While Ken was wondering about his own feeling, our dearest Ran was doing the same. But at least he did manage to wake punctually although he could not get well-sleep night too. When he woke, it was nearly the breakfast time. He realized he did not have time to go to his greenhouse so he made his way to meet the rest of his family. Just like the brunette, the red head received some daggers glances from his parents. Luckily, his sister was quiet neutral. She was reading a book and gave him a glance when he entered before back to her book.
It seemed that salt and pepper were much more interesting for Ran than looked at his parents. He poured them in his omelet as much as he could, not realize they were too many all ready. An uncomfortable silence passed between them and at last, the parents chose to begin the conversation. "Ran, I supposed you know why we are quite angry with you this morning." It was not a question but a statement from the head family. Ran just remained silent and continued to pour the salt and pepper to his omelet. His sister raised an eyebrow. It was really rare for anyone to see Ran acting like this. He always could control his emotion and hide them well. And saw him this strange, only mean one thing. He was really in problem.
"We really felt discomfort to discuss this, but we both know we must. You should not waste your time like last night. Your first meeting with him was really important and you throw it away like it was nothing. If you used the occasion well, I have no doubt both of you will be content by now. You are really a fool," said Mr. Fujimiya with an annoyed voice. He believed he had no need to explain the reason. He knew his son well, Ran was not a fool. He must be realized his parents felt irritated to him because he and his betrothed were speaking no word last night.
"Well I think we finished discuss this. I want you to make sure that the previous disaster will not happen anymore. Do you understand me? You may go now." The head family made his last words. Ran just can nodded once again before stood and took his leave. Although he felt it was unfair for him –because none of his parents gave him any chance to explain- there was nothing he could do. Unwilling to begin another argument, he left the breakfast room and get ready to go. If he did not go now, he would be late to take the classes. But before he left his residence, he looked at the ring on his finger and kissed it softly.
*********
After they came back from their university, Ran and Ken felt a hard regret. None of them could concentrate on what the professors tried to tell them, for their mind only focused on their previous meeting. But they were not regretting for not listening the lectures, they regret because they have wasted the only once occasion in their lives. They wondered when they could meet each other again. And not only that, they started to feel something different grew inside them every time they remembered each other. But none of them realized they were falling in love.
*********
"Youji Kudou. You are a sly devil, really. If there is anyone who can refuse your charm, that someone must be blind," said Youji to his own reflection that night. He was getting ready for the appointment with Omi. Their last meeting was great and they have agreed to meet again the next night. The tall guy studied into the mirror again. He wore really brand new clothes: A really tight jeans, simple but expensive T-shirt and a leather jacket. He felt himself was such perfection which no one can reject. After all, he did not spend nearly twelve years of his life to become an expert playboy for nothing. He knew too well what kind of performance he needed when he was going to approach a guy like Omi.
"Well, well, well. You are perfect, Youji. You know that. Now for the final touch, all you need is cool manners. Everything is going to be all right. You can manage them. You always can. And that cute little guy will be yours soon. You never failed to have someone you want," once again he encouraged himself. He looked content for his own perfection. Several minutes again he would go to meet his new victim. Unfortunately, he never knew what kind of Omi he was facing that time. That playboy must be learned there was something named 'love', something which greater than just lust.
********
"Relax, relax Omi. This guy is just someone you meet recently. Nothing is special about him." Our little cute guy was really desperate at that time and he was trying to calming himself. Just like Youji, he was getting ready for his appointment also. But unlike the playboy, this innocent guy had a problem. He was started to feeling nervous and worry. Why he couldn't get that Youji guy from his mind? He looked at his own reflection. You are ready. Now time to go, thought Omi. After took a long-deep breath, he got in his car and drove it. Omi had not realized he was facing a very irresistible Youji that night. And just like the playboy, he must added a new vocabulary in his life: love.

Mrs. Hidaka chose to visit the Mrs. Fujimiya the next day. When she arrived at The Fujimiyas' residence, she was greeted by several servants who escorted her to the guest room. She founded Mrs. Fujimiya was there all ready. Both of them seemed really frustrated, concerning about their sons. They felt this engagement was really a hard job to be done. The fact that last night meeting did not go well like what they hoped before really worried them. When they finished talking about their worries, Mrs. Hidaka gave an idea.
"And because of that, I believe some matchmakers will help us to unsolve this problem. After all, we cannot do this alone due to our sons' behaviors last night," said Mrs. Hidaka softly.
"I agree. But the only problem is, do you have any matchmakers which can give us the perfect result? To be honest, I have none of them," replied Mrs. Fujimiya.
"Ah, yes of course. They are really perfect and can be trusted. Fortunately, Ken has known one of them. I think it will make the work easier."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Could you call them to be here immediately? I would love to meet them."
"Of course. I shall call them now." With that, Mrs. Hidaka stood and call for her match makers.
AN: Well, that is for this chapter!! What do you think about it? Can you guess who the match makers are? Is the plot walked too slowly? Do I forgiven now? Anyway, I would love to have your reviews, guys!! Reviews are giving me a lot of inspirations and perhaps they can help me to make the next chapter faster!! See you all next time! Thank you for reading!!!^^
