OVERSEAS MIRACLE

CHAPTER 17

Proof of Conviction

"I'm really sorry, Ren! I didn't mean to fall asleep right away!" she bowed in front on her tab. A few seconds later, no response came from Ren. This petrified her to no end. Obviously, he is giving her a silent treatment.

'Oh no, he's going to break up with me. I really am not suitable enough to be Ren's girlfriend. Well, I can understand that perfectly. I'm not the perfect material for every man's taste to start with. So, how much more with Japan's most desirable man?' A couple of minutes have passed and the man on her tab screen exhaled a clumpy sigh. Everything must be straightened out.

"Kyoko, Please look at me." He asked flatly, terrifying the girl to comply to his request.

"I'm sorry for being a good for nothing person. I apologize for my clumsiness. I won't complain if you wish to end our relationship. I should have known better from the start. This is my punishment. You're better off without me, Ren. You can easily find your woman of your dreams as equally beautiful as you,"

"Kyoko-" he started but…

"as wise and intelligent"

"Wait… Kyo-"

"A woman that has a strong personality" she blabbered continuously.

"You're overreacting, Kyoko. Will you-" he can't catch her attention. She kept on talking non-stop. This irritated him. Is this how punitive he can do in her thoughts? Well, he should understand her. But there is no way that a break-up will happen. 'Great! I probably scared her which made her say such silly things.'

"there are a lot of women dying to be with you. Anyway, I'm just a girl who is just passing by just to be a part of your history. There's no way you will be going out with an amateur newbie-" finally, her speech was scurrilously disrupted.

"Kyoko Mogami!" he silenced her with his enraged voice.

"Ah!" the girl curled her head with her hands.

"Will you give me a moment to speak? You're already giving me a headache. Now look at me." He twitched his brows as she stared at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry for the trouble-"

"Stop apologizing, Kyoko." He ordered firmly.

"Sorry." She murmured through her hands.

Ren sighed for the second time at her reply. He closed his eyes for a bit to regain his calm self.

"Kyoko, I understand your situation there. President had me confirmed. I should apologize as well for my behavior. I just had lost my reason. My Id part had blinded over my superego. You know what that psychologically means, right?" he chuckled lightly, allowing his girlfriend to relax.

"Yes, I understand that but-" she was prevented to speak again.

"No, Kyoko. You're not at fault. It's normal to experience jet lag especially that the time zone there is different from here." He said.

"Yeah, I know but supposedly, I was not feeling tired when I arrived at the airport…" she spoke skeptically.

"What d do you mean?" he asked, looking confused at the weird words of his girlfriend.

"I…" she doesn't know how to express.

"Did something happen at the airport or while you're on your way to your host parents' home?" he asked immediately.

"You won't believe of what I'm going to tell you, Ren!" she exclaimed.

"Eh? Then make me believe of what you are going to share." Is it about your host parents? Did they do something to hurt you?" he questioned desperately. Kyoko can feel the initial waves of rage fuming out from his voice.

"Well, sort of but it's not something to be worried about. I'm fine, really." She showed him a smile of assurance but it's not enough to buy his conviction.

"What do you sort of and you're okay with it? Tell me right away, Kyoko so that I can inform the president about your security in that residence. You should not stay with a family that has complicated backgrounds. Your safetiness must be taken care of. I believe you should not stay in that place any longer." He demanded. The demon lord had risen! There's no way he is going to let his girlfriend stay in an abusive environment.

"I think you're getting the wrong idea, Ren. Okay, I'll make you understand." She informed, trying to hide her excitement about her real host parents.

"So, let's make things clear then" he said.

"Now where I should start… I met Mr. Duck in Lux café right outside of the arrival's area. Once I spotted his table, I saw him holding a piece of paper with my name on it. Then, I approached him, telling my self happily that I had found the right person.." from here, she talked about her impressions on Mr. Duck as a psychopathic farmer. Just when she mentioned of how Mr. Duck spoke to her in an indecent manner, Ren's biological temperature began to rise. It terribly tormented him more with the fearful expression that she conveyed to him. He can sense her anxiousness and fears as she spoke.

"I screamed, calling him a hentai and a yakuza. It can't be helped. Who can stay calm in a moment like that? He even threatened me that if ever I spoke another Japanese word, he will take me to a place where nobody knows about my existence." She continued, tears are threatening to burst out of her swollen eyes. It's too much for him to bear. Ren can't take it anymore. Kuon is shadowing dominantly in his being. He thought of ways to fly to L.A. no matter what and get rid of the Mr. Duck. As his pure anger escalates, his nerves hardened, brows firmly twitched, teeth compactly gritted, muscles tensed in rahe, fists tightly closed; his fingernails are deeply buried on his palms, digging its way until it almost bled.

"Once the engine stopped, he dragged me out of the car. I didn't know where I was. My eyes are tautly fixed on his hands that was gripping my right wrist. We stopped in a certain room and he let go of me. When I raised my head, I can't register everything in mind. The sight in front of me was too heavy for me to handle. Fear and hope are contradicting on my nerves. In the end, I fainted." She finished her story, her voice sounded tensed.

"So, Ren…" she started but then, she saw the face that she doesn't want to face of all times. The demon lord is on screen!

"What to do? What to do?" she panicked.

"Ren, I'm not done yet!" she screamed to get his senses.

"What?" he asked coldly.

"Relax, Ren. As what I had said, I'm more than okay. See?" she stood from her seat and took a few steps backwards to give Ren a full view of herself.

"No wounds, scratches or any signs of violence." She smiled brightly.

Ren is about to loosen up when she showed her whole self. But when she mentioned the word 'violence' his dark demeanor didn't gave way.

"I'm not convinced very well. Maybe you're hiding it behind your clothes." He said plainly, folding his arms in front of his chest.

She blushed at her own understanding of his words. She sighed in defeat. 'If I show him under the sleeves of this blouse, he won't believe me. He would insist that I'm hiding it here and there. Maybe I should do this. I should have told him straight, dummy me. It was so unexpected that he would act this way.' She thought regrettably.

Standing on the same spot, a few meters away from her tab, she closed her eyes and searched for her air of confidence. Placing her hands below her blouse, she pulled it off her body, revealing only pink lacy bra, hugging her precious breast.

'Wait… wait, wait! What had happened?'

On the other hand, Ren's respiration was disconnected. His eyes broadened fully at his tablet screen. His nerves lost its function, making his body went rigid, unable to constrict a muscle. Everything went blur in his mind for a second. This is way too far. His mind now completely blank, nothing came in to process. 'Kyo….ko…' To complete his image, his jaw, once gritted earlier, came loose. Now it is hanging freely in the air.

As for Kyoko, she's so embarrassed to check on his face. It horrified her more when she didn't heard a word from him, assuming that Ren is not satisfyingly convinced at all! She closed her eyes tightly and breathes deeply as she unfastened the button of her jeans. She should do it now so that the earlier she can wear her clothes back.

'He had already see me in bikini. So, what's the difference with lingerie?' she thought inoffensively, pulling down her jeans off her legs down to her toes. She walked out of her jeans and timidly took a couple of steps forward to Ren.

'A…..a…. Kyo-… wai-. Damn! What had gotten into her mind? That creamy body of hers will be the death of me. So vulnerable. I want to cage her around my arms. It made me want to bury my face on her shy sweet chest. Her slender legs stretched for miles! This is something different from her bikini attire. It seems like spring has just came to me. So refreshing! God! The gods are enjoyably watching me from above. Such cruel punishment. Kuon, behave.' Ren can't bring his self to speak. His fantasies is at the verge of explosion.

"Just to make you feel at ease, there is nothing wrong with me, Ren! Happy now?" she screamed at him, her cheeks is madly red in discomfiture. To end her proof, she twist around to show him her back.

"See? My body is free from bruises or anything that you think that is possible!" she shrieked, this time facing him with her still tainted face with the addition of keen, red mortification.

The sound of her high-pitched voice had pulled the actor out of his blankness. Realizing his current state, his face flushed in embarrassment for the first time right in front of his girlfriend.

"Kyoko, I get it now. Please, wear your clothes back." he stuttered at his words, feeling the heat creeping on his cheeks.

'Eh? Ren is blushing like a girl! What made him go red like that!' her thoughts screamed at her discovery.

"Uhm, excuse me for a minute. I'll be back." Avoiding to discompose himself further, he stood from his seat and headed to the men's room to calm himself.

Yeah, my mind went crazy lately. I don't know if this chappie can be considered as a fluff. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR HEAD. CARE TO WRITE IT FOR ME?
