• Until Then    Until Then: Lunch Date

  The whole family was seated around the table in the dining room. The food was served and everyone started eating."The food is delicious Mrs. Ka--- Grandma." Ayane commented. Mrs. Kaede looked at her and smiled sweetly."I'm glad you like it. I'm so happy that Ryu finally brought someone home." When she said those words, Ryuji choked on his food and Ayane stifled a laugh. Ryuji looked at her grandmother sullenly. Ayane took Ryuji's hand in hers and smiled."Well, I'm glad I'm the first." Ryuji squeezed Ayane's hand. Mr. and Mrs. Tennouji looked at each other and smiled."Ayane, if you don't mind me asking, have you tried to find the twins' father?" Mrs. Kaede asked. Mr. Taizo, who knew the truth, looked at Ayane intently. He wanted to see her reaction whenever someone mentions the twins' father. Ayane took a sip of water before she answered."What happened to me was unfortunate and it took a while before I found the courage to find out the truth. I

  The next morning, Ayane, Ryuji and the twins were supposed to go back to Osaka. Ayane called Rei to send over the private jet for a faster flight. She needed to get back to Osaka since she's been gone for a few days. Rei had been filling in for her at the company but there were some matters that needed her attention. The twins woke up bright and early; waking up their parents who were still fast asleep."Mommy, wake up." Yelled Kotaro as he shook his mother's body to wake her up; Kayda did the same to Ryuji who slept late last night due to urgent business. Ayane opened her eyes and saw the twins making a fuss. She sat up and stretched her arms. She looked over to Ryuji and noticed that he was desperately trying to cover his ears using his pillow. She felt bad seeing Ryuji like that."Kayda, come here." She called out to her. Kayda crawled all the way up to her mother. Ayane patted her head and smiled."Daddy is tired. It's better if we don't wake him up yet. Why

  Two hours before the start of the party, Ayane and Ryuji decided to start prepping for it. Ayane did her own hair and makeup since there was no time to call for a professional. She pinned back the left side of her hair and let the right side flow down. She placed a hairpin with a dragon and a tiger symbol on it on the pinned side of her hair to emphasize it. After she did her hair and makeup, she was having trouble zipping up her gown. Left with no choice, she asked help from Ryuji."Ryu, can you zip me up?" She asked. Ryuji walked up to her and zipped her up. She did a small twirl and asked Ryuji how she looked. He stared at her, not able to answer. Ayane giggled at his reaction and helped him with his tie. Ayane's phone suddenly rang and she went and picked it up."Aya, I'm with the twins now. We'll be flying over to Tokyo and we'll be arriving in less than an hour. We'll meet you at the party." Rei's voice was loud since she was by the runway where the private jet w

• Until Then    Until Then: The Party

  Ryuji pulled up in front of the Kamenaga house. It was the day of their flight to Tokyo. He promised to pick up Ayane and here he was, waiting outside for her. He walked up to the front door and was about to ring the doorbell when the door flew open, revealing a panting Ayane."Are you okay?" Ryuji asked. Ayane looked at him and laughed. She tried to stifle her laughter but she failed. Ryuji, confused as to why she's laughing, put his hand on her shoulder. Ayane saw that Ryuji was concerned so she pulled herself together. She straightened out her outfit and cleared her throat."Sorry about that. I was laughing because I thought I looked like an idiot in front of you when I opened the door." Ryuji sighed and gave out a tiny chuckle. He put his hand on Ayane's head."No matter how you look, you'll always be gorgeous to me." Ayane stiffened from his serious expression. They were both silent for a while when the twins came running towards them."Daddy!" The t

  The month flew by so fast. Ryuji made it a habit to eat lunch with Ayane every day to show his dedication. Ayane wasn't moved by this however. Their trip to Tokyo was coming up and Ayane made sure to discuss this with Ryuji a few days before their supposed flight. They were having lunch in her office again when the subject popped up."How many days will we be staying in Tokyo for?" Ryuji asked. Ayane put down a document she was reading to answer."Well, the ribbon cutting will be a day after our arrival and there will be a party in my honor by evening of the same day." Ayane said. Ryuji remembered what his grandfather told him about Ayane. He wanted to ask a question about it but he didn't know how to say it without offending Ayane. Seeing him troubled, Ayane called out to Ryuji."Hey, if you want to ask anything, just ask. If you're trying to win me over, honesty is the best way to go." Ryuji felt calm after what Ayane said."I'm assuming your ex will be

  Ayane told Rei about the party and she picked a gown for Ayane to wear. While Ayane and Rei were preparing the outfit, the twins barged in on them. They were playing tag with each other that they didn't see how busy their mother was. Ayane looked at the both of them and laughed. She caught Kotaro in her arms as he ran away from Kayda."I got you!" Ayane said while planting kisses on Kotaro's cheeks. Kayda stopped and clung to her mother's leg. Ayane looked at her and she looked like she wanted to join in. Ayane picked her up and planted kisses on her as well. The twins were having fun with their mother which made them happy. They always spend every second together whenever their mother is around. Ayane also tried to be involved with the twins as much as possible but it was difficult for her at times since she has a company to run."Mommy, do we have… a daddy?" Kotaro asked out of the blue which caught Ayane off guard. She carried them to the bed and put them dow
