Chapter 3 Arrangement

"Seiichi, glad you're home already. You should prepare take a shower as we have an important guests." as Yukimura's mom instruct his son.

Yukimura just smiled at his mother then gazed at Sayu with a questioning look.

"I don't know anything about this. Ask Dad." Sayu whispered.

At 7pm the 'Important Guests' arrived at the Yukimura Residence it was the Saeki's, one of the biggest financial group in Chiba. Saeki Kojirou, the son of the owner of Rokkaku Finance. This is the first time that Yukimura and Saeki had met even though they both attended parties that their parents usually attend. They are introduced by Yukimura's father and are requested to sit beside each other. The parents of Saeki and Yukimura's parent discuss a lot of business matter regarding the stock and partnership. Saeki involved himself with the discussion since he is now working in the company as the president. Sayu and Yukimura are just staring with each other. You can tell on their faces that they are extremely bored. Good thing Sayu brought her cellphone at dinner so the lovely lady had escape the boring topic the elders have been discussing. On the other hand, Yukimura is regretting that he did not bring his cellphone to dinner to ask Sanada if he had dinner already and what does he currently doing is he meditating, doing calligraphy, or studying his lesson for class.

"Okay enough with business, let's discuss another business that would benefit both our families. In business and personal." as Saeki's father point his gaze to Yukimura.

"I'm so excited for the two of them to be together! They look good together." exclaimed by Saeki's mom.

"Yukimura-san told me a lot of great things about you. You actually lead your tennis team in Nationals? That's awesome! I always admire tennis players because my pulse is not really that good. She told me also that you like to paint and garden. That's a good hobby, I'm actually Kami-sama to give me a wife/husband that are good at those skills." said Saeki trying to impress Yukimura.

Yukimura was surprised with the statement of matriarch of the Saeki's and Saeki itself as he was spacing out thinking about Sanada.

"Ano, excuse me I'm lost with the conversation thinking about work. What did you say again? With whom?" as he keep his composure.

"Well, Seiichi we are discussing and planning the details of your engagement to Kojirou-kun. You'll get married in a month or two. You should start going out so you'll get to know each other more, now that you have been introduced to each other officially. Kojirou-kun would it be okay with you?" Yukimura's mom asked Saeki.

"Of course, Yukimura-san. Are you available tomorrow for lunch?" as Saeki shifted his gaze to Yukimura.

"No. I have a meeting."

"How 'bout dinner?"

"No. Another meeting."

"How 'bout the day after?"

"I'm not available tomorrow, the next day, and the upcoming days." Yukimura answered, trying not to look and sound irritated.

"Oh." replied by Saeki.

Knowing that his son will not give Saeki any chance to see him. Yukimura Seiko decided that she will be the one who will setup a date for the two newly engaged couple.

"Seiichi, you always see Sanada-kun every Sunday right?" Yukimura nod. "Tell him that you will not see each other this coming Sunday as you will spend your day with Kojirou-kun." Yukimura Seiko told his son. "Kojirou-kun is Sunday alright with you?"

"Hai, Sunday is ok for me Yukimura-san but if that is ok with Seiichi-san. I don't like to impose if he already had a schedule." replied by Saeki.

"But… Genichirou and I are…" reply sadly by Yukimura.

"I'm sure Sanada-kun will understand ne?" cutting off his son's future statement and giving his son a deadly glare that Yukimura cannot resist.

"And tell him that every Sunday will be dedicated to Kojirou-kun so that the two of you will get to know each other before your marriage." Yukimura's mom smile sadistically. Yukimura defeatedly nod to his mother's decision.

As dinner ended, the Yukimura family lead the Saeki family outside the estate giving their goodbyes with each other and planning their next 'Family Dinner'. As the gate closed and no sight of the Saeki family to be seen. Yukimura started to angrily asked his parents.

"Otousan, Okaasan why did you that?"

"Do what?" asked his dad.

"Don't act innocent. Why did you that? Why did you sell me to the Saeki's!" the tone of Yukimura is irritated.

"Why, what's wrong? I think that you need to do your share to make our company stronger rather than working for that advertising company." his father replied arrogantly.

"Why, Seiichi is there something wrong? Are you seeing someone? What is the business of his family?"his mother added.

Yukimura tried to avoid answering the question and shifted his gaze to the floor.

"Don't tell me that it is Sanada-kun! What can a new Associate Professor share and contribute to the growth of our company huh? You know that in order to keep our company strong and more powerful we need the Saeki's. Stop your relationship with Sanada-kun! If he is just your friend then that's totally fine with me, but if it's more than that and that the company's future will be jeopardized then you don't have any choice but to listen to me and do whatever I would say." his father yelled..

Hearing that statement from his parents Yukimura ran to his room, locked himself and started to cry on his bed. After crying himself out for almost half an hour. He gathered his strength to sit. Seeing the picture of him and sanada on his bedside table he took the framed-photo and started hugging it. After a few minutes his phone vibrated indicating that he received a message.

"How's dinner? Everything ok? Good night Seiichi. See you tomorrow. I need to show you something. It is one of our dreams."

Yukimura sighed after reading the message he started to cry again. He did not reply to his lover's message and continued to cry and think about everything that his parents said and on what his decision would be. What will he do in this situation? Will he fight the love he and Sanada had? Or will he follow his parents and marry the person whose love he will not be able to return? until he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Sanada patiently waited for Yukimura's reply but nothing came, as he checked the clock it is already 11pm. 'Maybe he got tired today with the sudden dinner with his parents.' Sanada laid the house & lot title on the bedside table that he's excited to show to Yukimura laid down and imagined Yukimura's smile when he see the surprise and started to drift to sleep.

The next morning Sanada woke up from the message he got from Yukimura,

"Hi. Good morning! I'm not feeling well. I will not be able to pick you up and have breakfast with you. Don't bother coming to the house I'll just go to sleep anyway. Also, I'm not available on Sunday, mother requested me to do something for her. Sorry. Take care. I love you, Genichirou."

With the last four words of Yukimura's text message he knew that there's something bothering Yukimura but he just ignored it because he knew that Yukimura will fix the problem immediately he knew the bluenette too well.

"Okay, I'll see you on Monday then. Get enough sleep. I love you too."

As Yukimura received the reply from Genichirou the tears he was trying to suppress since he woke up. What does he need to do? To continue and fight for his relationship with Sanada.
