ᴇʟᴇᴠᴇɴᴛʜ.

Fuyu placed the cups of coffee on the table and she left the meeting room already. The thirty days that Sho gave to the workers has ended and now, they are discussing the results of the project.

She smiled softly, knowing that he will never fail on having good results after executing a project. She heaved a sigh of relief. He mentioned before that they will have more projects within the next six months and it will make them busier than before.

She is browsing on the internet and saw that the dating issue of Hokuto with her is already suppressed but there are still some paparazzi that keeps on digging information about them. Hokuto is already back in America right after the New Year's Day.

"Hasegawa-san, there is a couple waiting at the lobby. They got no appointment but they want to meet Kaichou." One of the employees said and she nodded.

"I'll go there, then. Arigatou." She smiled and then, she stood up to go down to the lobby area. Sho saw her leaving the office.

When she arrived at the lobby area, she saw the couple still talking to the receptionist. Though they are not really causing a ruckus, there are some people behind them who seem to be waiting for their turn to talk to the receptionist for their appointments. She gestured to the receptionist to entertain the others instead.

"Konnichiwa. I'm the president's personal assistant and secretary. May I know what your purpose is in meeting him?" She bowed her head before smiling.

"We want to visit him." The older woman just said and then, she already brought them to his office since he is still at the meeting.

Sho raised his brow when he saw the couple behind Fuyu. He smirked before focusing on the meeting again. Fuyu led the couple to the visitor's area and asked them what they wanted to drink. After preparing the tea, she took her seat across them and started talking to them.

"Okaa-san, Otou-san, what are you doing here?" Fuyu's eyes widened when she heard Sho's voice behind her. She had been talking to the couple for half an hour already and she didn't even realize that they are his parents.

"We just want to meet the girl you've told us." Fuyu's face turned crimson when Sho's mother said that. She can feel that the other employees are looking at them.

"Let's talk at my office instead." She quickly stood up from her seat and Sho and his parents went inside his office.

She took the tea cups and decided to serve them new ones. She got a mug of black coffee for Sho and when she was about to walk inside, she suddenly heard them talking about marriage. She blushed furiously when she heard about grandchildren. His parents want to have grandchildren already.

She gently knocked before walking in. She is feeling nervous and pressured that they are talking about marriage and family. She is only twenty-two. She is not yet ready for it. As of now, she wants to try a lot of things with him.

"Fuyu-chan, can you cook?" His mother suddenly asked after she served the tea and coffee on the table.

"Hai. I can cook but I'm not that really good." She answered in a soft voice, slowly turning it into a whisper.

Sho looked at her and gave her an assuring smile. It took them almost an hour to talk about things with his parents. They approved of her and even invited her to go to Okayama to have a vacation. He didn't go home last Christmas, so they decided to visit him. For a week, his parents will stay at his house and by weekends, the couple will drive them to the airport.

"Sure. Call a cab for them." Sho said and he gave his house keys to his parents. The talk is not yet done, so his mother requested her son if Fuyu can bring them down to the lobby area.

"Have dinner with us later, ne?" His mother said when they arrived at the lobby. She smiled softly and nodded her head.

"Hai. Arigatou gozaimasu, Okaa-san, Otou-san." She said with a faint blush but then, it is his parents' request to be called like that by her.

She made sure that his parents will be able to get in the cab safely. She waved her hand while watching them leave. She took a deep breath before going back to the office. While inside the elevator, she stared at her ring. It's been more than a month since they started dating. She doesn't know what will happen in the future but she wants to cherish all the moments she can get with Sho.

Later that night, she found herself wearing Sho's pajamas. His mother told her to sleep there and now, she is in his room and waiting for him to finish from taking a shower. She blushed at the thought that they are like a newlywed couple. The door went open and she saw him only wearing a towel around his waist. She turned around and shut her eyes. It is her first time to see him like that.

"First time to see a man naked?" There's a hint of playfulness in his voice and she puffed her cheeks, shaking her head. She can't admit to him that it is his first time to see someone like that.

"Then, it means it is fine if I will wear my clothes in front of you." Her face went redder. She is feeling embarrassed and nervous at the same time.

"Have some decency, Yamamoto Shogo." She turned her head and her eyes widened when she saw him completely naked.

"Put some clothes on!" She threw one of the pillows to his direction and quickly covered herself with the blankets.

She heard a soft laugh from him and after some minutes, she felt him besides her. She peeked and saw him wearing pajamas already. He gently pulled her closer and she snuggled on him. She smiled softly when she buried her face on his chest and he started leaving kisses on her crown and temples.

"Would you mind if we will get married and make our own family in the future?" She lifted her chin to look at him and then, she stared at his eyes before shaking her head.

"You have plans on marrying me?" She asked softly and he nodded while smiling. She leaned closer to kiss his lips.

It was a quick one and she chuckled softly. He nuzzled her cheek with his palm before kissing her forehead. She rested her head on his chest and he got her hand.

"I'll put two more rings on your fingers when it is already the right time." He traced the snowflakes-designed ring he got for her with his fingertip.

"Engagement and wedding rings?" She mumbled and he nodded. She is already feeling sleepy and he tightened his hug around her.

"You wouldn't mind, desho?" He whispered but when he looked at her, she was already asleep. He placed another kiss on her forehead before covering themselves with the blankets.
