there was a rose petal fell on her lap, so izuna looked up.

"don't look at your phone so often," he whispered, strangely louder than the mc's booming voice.

she met this man a couple months ago, after she dumped her then boyfriend for six years who'd been cheating her for two thirds of their relationship. she met others too at a matchmaking event she attended secretly; but one by one they showed their true colors, until two left. one was a kind and sweet man, while the other was senju tobirama.

senju tobirama was a cold, emotionless man. not only that-he was so devoted to his work that he couldn't spare her some consideration before giving her a marriage certificate to sign. his sole reason on joining the matchmaking was to find someone who'd do all his house chores for free.

even worse-he was divorced twice. izuna didn't have to guess their reasons; she found that out, and she chose to left him. he accepted her decision gracefully, and promised to change for the better.

but after the last man was proven a liar, she realized his presence still lingered in her mind. fortunately, her brother came back bringing a girlfriend-distracting their parents about her failed marriage prospect, and unfortunately said girlfriend happened to be tobirama's adoptive sister, which means as izuna planned their wedding, she still saw him occasionally.

like now.

her eyes met lush red roses, their petals landed between her hair strands. it's a bouquet. right. it must be the bouquet-tossing part of the wedding.

"who caught it? who caught it? isn't that the bride's brother-!"

tobirama plucked the petals on her hair as he handed the bouquet to her. "it nearly fell on your head," he said, ignoring the mc.

"oh." izuna accepted it, too tired to discern the situation. her legs were killing her.

"isn't that the groom's sister-he gave it to her?!"

he leaned closer to speak, "day after tomorrow, lunch hour in the usual cafe by my office?"

"i should be free." izuna shrugged. "yeah."

a faint smile decorated his pale features. "until then."

she watched his back disappearing between the shocked guests, and only then she realized the entire hall had their eyes locked on her-including the bride and groom themselves. she set the bouquet slowly on her lap, her mind replaying the recent conversation.

"are we seeing love blossoming between the couple's siblingsss?!"

what the heck just happened?
