[Rin's POV]
I am Rina Heartfillia Hasegawa and currently a university student. It's already morning and I just woke up since, I have a class today. My best friend will get angry again because I'm the reason why we are always late.
I started to prepare for my school.
"Rin! Breakfast is ready" Yuki my best friend called me.
I am living with my best friend in the dormitory because my parents are busy working in Japan. Our main branch is located there so I decided to stay here with my best friend. It's so lonely to live in a big mansion.
I also have an oni-chan (brother). He is also busy taking care of our company here and he's always working out of town. I'm so lucky that I have a best friend like Yuki and I have known her for more than a decade. She is like a family to me and someone that I can rely on.
"I'm coming!" as I remembered that my breakfast is ready.
I can consider myself as fortunate since she can cook delicious meals.
"Eat fast or we will be late again" she added.
Well Yuki is ranked 3 in our university. That's why she's very strict when it comes to punctuality.
I just nodded and ate fast. After that, we started to walk. It will only take 5 minutes to be there because the university is just near our dormitory.
We were almost there when my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up because, I saw my oni-chan's name flashed on my screen.
"Oni-chan" I uttered.
"This is not your brother" a strange guy answered on the phone.
Who is this? Don't tell me... my brother is a gay and this is his lover. Oh no! Hasegawa lineage will be over soon because my oni-chan likes men.
"Who are you?" Please don't tell me that you're my oni-chan's lover. Hasegawa's gene will be over.
"I'm his best friend" he answered.
Thank God! I really thought that my oni-chan is a gay since he never had a girlfriend.
"Okay. But why are you calling me? and why do you have my oni-chan's phone?" I never knew that my brother has a best friend. I don't have any idea about this man. I mean I have a good relationship with him and I love my oni-chan the most. I know almost everything about him. But, this is my first time hearing about this guy.
"Well, unfortunately your oni-chan is in the hospital and he wants to see you" he responded.
"Why is he in the hospital? What happened is he okay?" I started to panic. I hope that everything is okay.
"He's fine. Don't worry there was a car accident and he had some scratches and bruises" he reassured me.
I wanted to see my oni-chan right away. I wanted to see if this stranger is telling the truth.
"I'll be there. Tell me the name of the hospital"
"Cross Hospital. Sorry I needed to end the call now. The doctor is looking for me." he said as he ended the call.
I hugged my best friend after the call. I'm really worried. I told her what happened and she nodded her head.
I rode a taxi and thanked the driver since he drove fast. I entered the hospital and talked to the front desk. She gave me the room number of my oni-chan. I thanked her and walked as fast as I could.
I was already in front of my oni-chan's room when I saw a tall guy wearing a hood and talking to someone on the phone.
I was about to enter when he stopped me.
"Rin?" he said while looking at me intently.
"Yes?" I answered in confusion.
He suddenly hugged me tightly. What the hell is he doing? I punched him.
Is he crazy? It's weird to hug strangers.
"Pervert!" I screamed.
He let me go and look at me again intently. Am I exaggerating because I can see in his eyes that he's longing for me?
"I'm not a pervert, little girl" he answered.
I know my height is short but, this is bullying. I'm not a kid anymore.
"I hate you! I will call the police" I burst out.
"Do you think I like you?" he responded and smiled sarcastically. He is a pain in the neck.
I just went inside of the room to see my oni-chan and gave him a cold shoulder. I don't want to debate with this pervert man. Even though he's handsome. Looks can be deceiving.
I saw my brother lying on the bed. That's why I ran to him and hugged him tightly.
"Hey sissy"
"Are you okay?" I asked in a worried tone.
"I'm fine no worries. Accident is inevitable" he responded. He is such a carefree person.
"You should take care next time. You will die single" I teased.
My oni-chan laughed as I reminded that he is single.
"Oh by the way, Rin. Did you meet my best friend?" he asked.
"I didn't know that you have a best friend" I pouted.
Oni-chan laughed when he saw me pouted. It means I'm angry in a cute manner.
"He lives in Japan but now he decided to live here in the Philippines"
"I see. So that's the reason why I am not familiar with him"
I thought he has a secret relationship with him that's why he's hiding his best friend.
"Hey, man. I think you forgot to introduce yourself" my brother said while looking at him.
I also look at him and my eyes widen. This pervert! He is my oni-chan's best friend. No way in hell!
"Hey little girl. I am Lenrainne Cross Kagamine" he said and bowed to us.
"Oni-chan this guy is a pervert. He suddenly hugged me!" I retorted.
My oni-chan laugh as he tap this pervert guy's shoulder.
"What's wrong with that?" this despicable pervert asked.
"Answer your own question, pervert!" I responded angrily.
My oni-chan laughed as if he's watching something funny. Is there a hidden camera man or are we filming that's why he's laughing?
Why they didn't notify me that they are filming right now? I think I need to play along.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Rin is my fiancee" this pervert man stated.
What did he say?
[Rin's POV]
I am already in the classroom and I keep on thinking about that "fiancee thing".
I'm still young and I have plans for the future. I don't want to get married especially to a stranger. Omiai is already an old culture in Japan.
"You have been spacing out for 3 days in a row, Rin. What's bothering you?" Yuki asked.
"I'm just thinking..." I answered.
She just shrugged and she can tell, that I'm not yet ready to share my problem.
"I heard that our teacher resigned because his health condition is not good" one of the students said.
"Really? That's good. It's boring to listen to that old man"
"I hope that our new teacher is handsome"
I just ignored the students because, I'm not really an avid fan of handsome guys.
"Good morning class!" the new teacher said.
The voice is quite familiar. I heard it somewhere.
All of the students scream as if they saw an actor. Why is it so noisy?
I looked at the new teacher and I almost fell on my seat.
This pervert man-slash-my-fiancee is our freaking new teacher.
He grinned when he saw me looking at him angrily. What a shameless man!
"I'll just introduce myself. I am Lenrainne Cross Kagamine and I'll be your new teacher" this shameless man said.
"Kyaaaa! What a perfect man" one of the students whispered.
"Mr. Kagamine, do you have a girlfriend?" one of the students asked.
"I'm single" he smiled and looked at me as if he was telling me that he was annoying me.
The class went smoothly but, Mr. Kagamine told me to stay for a while for the reason that we need to talk about my performance at school.
Everyone whispered and they thought that I'm a slut because I'm staying with him in the classroom. To add, they are assuming that I'm seducing a pervert man. Which is actually the opposite since, he's the one who keeps on flirting with me.
"I'll see you later, Rin" he said out of the blue.
"Where?" I asked.
He just laughed and I think that he's thinking something unpleasant.
I just gave him a cold shoulder. I am about to go back to the dormitory when my phone rang.
"Hey, sissy" it is my oni-chan.
"There will be a family gathering between Kagamine and Hasegawa" he said.
"Oni-chan I want to cancel this arranged marriage"
"Sissy, you can't. He's your fiancee since, the day you were born. It was arranged by our grandfathers and Hasegawa's company is in big trouble. We need their help."
"What?! I'll be there" My parents dedicated their whole lives in protecting our company. I will not let my parents hard work go in vain.
I went to the dormitory to change my clothes. I think these clothes will do. I wear jeans and pink blouse.
My oni-chan picked me up in front of my dormitory.
"You look stunning sissy" he complimented.
"Kawaii desu ka? (Am I cute?)" I asked trying to be buriko (cute) in front of my oni-chan.
"Hai. Anata wa kawaii on'nanoko desu (Yes. You are a cute girl)" I pouted. My oni-chan still treats me as a kid.
We have arrived to Kagamine's Mansion. I think their house is not a mansion. It is a palace. It's huge.
"Welcome to Kagamine's residence. Master Kaito and Lady Rina" and the butlers and maids bowed to us.
We were walking to the front door and I saw my teacher Kagamine looking at me intently. Is he some kind of detective? Because he always examines every move I make.
His stare cringes me.
"Hello, iinaduke (fiancee)" and my teacher kissed my hand. This is freaking weird.
"Can you please stop giving me a pet name. It makes me feel uncomfortable" I can't control my mouth. When it comes to this man I always lose myself. Also, I am always annoyed and I don't know where this is coming from.
My oni-chan and my self-proclaimed fiancee burst into laughter.
They always have that connection and understand each other's thoughts. What a bunch of hypocrites. I just rolled my eyes.
"Hey bro. Did you find a girlfriend?" Lenrainne asked.
"Not yet. I'm too handsome for them"Oni-chan answered.
"Maybe you are a gay. Haha!"
"No way, bro!" Oni-chan snapped.
"Perhaps you like me. Hahaha!" this pervert teacher of mine added.
"Well, if you're a woman I would really fall for you. I will be your fiancee not Rin" oni-chan answered and touched Lenrainne's face.
What a gay show! Again, they are filming some BL drama.
"Hahaha. Oh man! You're hilarious" and he put his hand on oni-chan's shoulder.
"You should hold your fiance's hand" Oni-chan said.
"Your imouto (sister) looks like a gorilla. What a fierce face" Lenrainne whispered.
I can hear them! I kick my teacher's foot.
"How dare you call me gorilla!!" I screamed.
"You look like a wild gorilla now" He teased.
"F*ck you!" I shouted.
"Rin your mouth" My oni-chan warned. I ignored them once again.
I saw my parents at the dining table. I miss them so, I gave them a big hug.
"My Rin-chan. My kawaii musume! (My cute daughter). I miss you!!" and my otou-san (dad) hugs me tightly.
My otou-san still acts like a kid even though he is already an old man.
I just look at him weirdly. Sometimes, I think that my family are a bunch of freaks.
"Dear, can you please stop that!" my mom snapped at dad.
"But" my dad looks like a dog right now. He likes to do puppy eyes when mom scolds him.
Mom glared at dad and shifted her looks to Lenrainne.
Dad's face changed. He is scared of mom's glare.
"Where's your dad, Len?" my mom asked.
"He's not here. Only grandpa" Len answered.
"What happened to Hasegawa's company?" I asked out of the blue. This is the reason why we all gather here. I want to go home.
"Actually, Hasegawa's company is about to be bankrupt. Only you can save the company" oni-chan answered.
"Kagamine group promises to save us once you get married tomorrow" my mom added.
What tomorrow? Are they for real? It's like they are selling me!
"You know how important this company is to us" oni-chan continued.
I am aware of their hard work. They sacrifice everything for Hasegawa's company.
But, how can they approve my marriage this fast?
Atama ga itai (My head hurts).
[Rin's POV]
Unfortunately, I really don't have a choice but to marry him. I know how precious the company is, for my parents.
Mr. Kagamine is looking at me from head to toe. He really likes to examine me. Maybe, he's jealous of my outfit or something.
"I think children tend to repress memories that hurt them in the past" He said out of the blue.
Perhaps he was a gay in the past and trying to repress those memories. Though, the truth is, he wants to wear my cute clothes.
My oni-chan looks at him pitifully.
"Zannen desu yo(pity)" my oni-chan murmured.
I feel like they know something that I don't. They treat Lenrainne as if they have known him for a long time. But the problem is I don't have any single memories with him. Hen desu ne (strange).
I have a close relationship with my parents and I know most of their friends and business partners. It's really unusual because all of them treat him as a family aside from me.
Furthermore, I think they all like him because they just agreed to give away their daughter to a stranger. I want to follow my heart but I cannot decline this marriage because our company will meet its end.
He will be my husband tomorrow. Time flies so fast.
"I'll take care of you" My teacher said.
Since, he noticed everyone is happy, talking about our wedding and I was just staring at them.
"Len, you should tour Rin in our garden" his grandfather said.
He just nodded his head and took my hand.
"Please excuse us" he bowed and started to walk with me.
"You can remove your hand" I whispered.
"Aww... sorry" and he let go of my hand.
Their garden is one of a kind. It's really big. Also, I am really happy because there's a lot of sunflowers. I love this flower so much.
"I'm happy that you like it" he said as he saw my eyes mesmerized by the beauty of their garden.
I just smiled while still enjoying the view.
"Do you like sunflowers?" I asked.
"Yeah, I do. The girl I love the most adores sunflower" he answered while looking at it.
My heart aches without any reason. I'm sure that I don't have any heart problems.
"You have a girl that you love the most. Why did you agree to marry me?"
He just smiled and patted my head.
"Are you jealous?" he teased.
"What?! No way! I was only wondering!" I screamed. Why does it look like I'm guilty?
"You look like a gorilla" he answered. I think he is not interested in giving me a response.
"I'm not a gorilla! daikirai (I hate you!)"
"Hate me all you want, I'll still be your husband"
What a sly man! Having a despicable husband in the future will be a pain in the neck.
"Hey sissy!" oni-chan said disrupting the silence between us.
"Nani (What)?" I asked.
"Everything is already prepared for the wedding. Although, for the last part you need to choose your wedding dress"
I just nodded my head. At least, I can wear my dream white dress.
Oni-chan looks at my teacher again.
"I'll talk to Lenrainne" oni-chan said.
Once again I nodded my head. They are always together, my oni-chan and Mr. Kagamine is acting like a real brother.
I think my oni-chan is really happy knowing that I'll marry his best friend.
I started to dial my best friend's number.
"Moshi moshi (Hello)?"
"Rin, why are you not replying to my messages? I am really worried" Yuki said in a worried tone.
"I miss you..." I started.
"What happened? You always use that phrase when you are in trouble"
I love my best friend so much. She really knows me well.
"Hasegawa's company will collapse if I don't get married" and I started to cry.
"Huh? With whom?"
"I'll marry Mr. Kagamine"
"Really? Why? But you know... Mr. Kagamine is really hot" and she giggled.
I think my teacher is a witch and was able to bewitch all the people around me. He can even turn my best friend into his side.
"Yuki!" I snapped.
"I'm just kidding Rin. Well, if you don't want to marry Mr. Kagamine. I can help your company but I think the outcome of getting married might be good" she said.
I think so too, Mr. Kagamine looks capable.
"Oh well, you're invited to our wedding. The show must go on!"
"I'll be there. Ganbatte (Good luck!)" Yuki said as she ended the call.
My wedding is not grand since, Mr. Kagamine is my teacher. It is also better to keep our marriage secret.
The wedding is over because only our families were invited. They said I look like a goddess in my white dress. Though, I think I will be happier if the guy standing beside me is someone I really love.
Still, I am glad because Mr. Kagamine kissed my forehead instead of my lips. Or else it will be my first kiss. He said that he respects me a lot.
What a Shinsi (gentleman). Honto subarashii!! (Really amazing)
"I already talked to Lenrainne about things he can't do" my oni-chan whispered in my ears.
"Huh?" I don't have any idea about couples because I never had a boyfriend before.
Mr. Kagamine laughed at me when he saw my reaction.
I glared at him and whispered, "What are the things you can't do?"
My teacher's face became red all of a sudden.
"Do you have a fever?" I asked.
"Innocent" he spouted.
"Oni-chan what do you mean by that?" and I look at my brother.
Oni-chan almost spit the water all over my face.
"Sissy, you are young and innocent. So, bro-in-law you should take care of her, okay?" I think my brother is emphasizing every word he said.
My teacher laughed evilly.
Why am I having chills right now? Kowaiyo (I'm scared)
"Ore wa bakemono (I am a monster)" he said. And my brother laughed like it's the best joke in the world.
What are they up to?
