Episode 1

Arranged marriage

That morning, it started like any other day. I woke up, got dressed and went downstairs, and sitting there where my sister usually sits beside me is a stranger. “Who are you?” I ask in a rude manner. Mother hisses back at me “Hisoka, manners!” I was about to apologize to my mother, when i caught a glance of the strange man staring at me with a kind of intensity that was almost enough to knock me on to the floor. My father motions for me to sit next to him at the table, as soon as i sit at the table my father speaks.

“ Hisoka,  this is Takahashi Shuichi, you are going to be moving in with him next month.”

“What! Why, Why do I have to move in with him, I just met the guy!”

 As soon as I said that, the room fell silent, I looked at my mom, only to see tears start to form in her eyes.  “What’s going on? What’s wrong?”

“Because you’re going to marry me.”

Hearing Takakhashi say this, I can’t help but be a little scared for what’s to come.

“....when?

“In two weeks.”

‘TWO FUCKING WEEKS, how the hell did this happen, i don’t want this!’

I can’t believe I’m about to ask this but i have to know “wait, then what about school?”

There's no answer for awhile, until Takahashi says, “you must have a lot of questions, why don’t you spend a couple days at my place and we can get to know each other.”

I don’t hear either of my parents, and so i accept his offer. We stand up, and he reaches for my hand, and leads me out the door and to his car.

When we get to his house he leads me through the living room, and up stairs to “our” bedroom. “Take a seat on the bed, I’ll go get us some drinks.”

Being told that, I sit down on his bed, and well I’m waiting I skim the around the room from where I’m sitting and I see a balcony overlooking the sea. The view really is amazing, if the circumstances were different, i would’ve loved to live here. I really wanna get a closer look at the ocean from here,  I stand up and walk over to the sliding doors, that's when i hear the door open. I turn to see Takahashi standing there looking at me with disappointment.

“I thought I told you to sit on the bed, why are you at the door… are you trying to run away?”

“N - no, of course I’m not, i was, ah , just looking at the ocean.”

“Then, why are you still standing over there? Get over here.”

That was definitely not a request, that, was a command.   Hearing the tone in Takahashi’s voice, I take a couple steps forward nevesouly.

"What are you doing!? I said get over here!" saying that he walks over and drags me over to the bed.
