" Jin-san can we take a walk? i want to ask u something" said yuu

"Sure lets go" said jin.

"Jin-san" why r u so agianst miki's and my marriage. what do u have against me?"

Jin was silent for a moment..." its not that i hate u. its just taht..." he trailed off...

" you don't want anyone else tohave miki." yuu finsihed. " Jin.. i promise...no...i SWEAR i'll take good care of miki! i swear i'll make her happy! i won't ever leave her side..well besides for work that is...i promise i'll won't make her cry! TRust me!!"

jin hesitated then said " i suppose i have no choice do i? if i continue to get in the way...Miki will just hate me even more..."

"Jin-san! does that mean..."

" yes...yuu...it does."

"Miki do u want to go out for a walk? our parents r still eating. we might as well go."

" sure why not?" said miki

they walked silently until they got to a bridge. yuu looked in the water to see the reflection of the moon illuminating the night sky. " here goes." he thought. " th big plunge..."

" miki? how long have we been going out now... about 5 and a half yrs right?

"yea...thats about right..."
