Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 6 - Confession
[ Place : Unknown || Time : Current ]
A beautiful woman whose beauty transcends the world, is still in the same state, but also different. He may still be locked up and still be the subject of the trials of the madmen who were there.
However, in contrast to yesterday he seemed calmer at the moment.
He calmly looked somewhere, as if he felt a familiar feeling. It was the same feeling he felt when he was with his family, even though he himself forgot who his family really was.
“Bring him.”
An old man ordered the young man in white to take out the girl he answered with a nod.
With his ID card, the young man opened the cage and approached the girl.
“Wake up, girl!!”
The young man said with a commanding tone.
However, as if not hearing it, the woman was still staring somewhere without caring about it.
“Hey. Didn't you hear me?”
The woman is still silent.
“Hey, do you think that because we were told not to hurt you, we will not do anything to you!!”
The man shouted and intimidated the woman to get her to move from her place. But, the beautiful woman was still silent.
“Damn it!”
When the man lost his patience, he tried to grab the beautiful woman's white hair. But…
“Argh.”
His arm disappeared due to a laser shot placed in the cage. It appears that it is automatically fired when someone tries to injure the subject.
“My arm, my arm.”
Seeing how the newcomer was unable to carry out his duties properly, the old man in white clothes walked in with an angry face and threw something that made the man feel no pain anymore.
“Stop!! do you think you can touch a valuable subject?!”
“Ma-sorry.”
The man broke his shock and apologized while holding his remaining hand.
“Go.” The old man told the young man to leave. “Cih, new person base.”
The old man finally saw the beautiful woman who was currently daydreaming then said while licking her lips disgustingly.
“Hey, beautiful. I don't know what you're daydreaming about, but stop dreaming about escaping from this place. There's no need to worry, however, because once this research is over, you'll be free. I mean, I'm free to do anything to you. hahaha.”.
That is, before the study ended, no one, not even the highest man, could do anything to hurt the girl. That was because he was an extremely valuable subject and was probably only one of the many subjects.
“Come, now come with me, I will take your blood, so that this research will quickly end.”
“In the meantime, he'll come.”
Finally the beautiful woman spoke in a low tone that was difficult for anyone other than herself to hear.
“Hah, what are you saying? Now wake up.”

[The next day, Park ]
In a beautiful amusement park, there are two people who look like lovers. They are walking together and enjoying the various games that are there.
The couple is none other than Mei and Riyu.
After Riyu invites Mei on a date, Mei is quite surprised and embarrassed. It was the first time Ryu had asked her out on a date.
For her, her daily life was just filled with studying, so she never thought about dating. As for Riyu, she was so focused on her training that she did not think about it either.
However, after Riyu solidifies her heart, she invites Mei to go on a date, she wants to refresh her mind to take the next step regarding their relationship. In addition, she also wants to take Mei's mind off just reading books and studying.
Riyu knows that Mei is so focused on her goal that without her realizing it, her time is filled with books and lessons. Therefore, Mei was unaware of her loneliness.

[ POV Ryu ]
Mei and I went on a date.
At first we were confused because we had never dated before.
However, after seeing a lot of people having fun, we started to enjoy our time by trying out the various amusements that are here.
Sometimes we also stop just to see the sights or enjoy the food.
Several times I also saw Mei smiling and laughing. It made me happy because one of my goals was achieved.
We also bought some stuff that was there, of course I paid for everything. So, he couldn't stop smiling.
.
.
Right now, we are walking in a park that is quite quiet because soon it will be night. We walked together holding hands.
To be honest we didn't realize we were starting to hold hands. Maybe, it happened while he was excited, or maybe me?
Well, we enjoyed it too, so we didn't try to let go of our hands.
After walking for quite a while, we could see the long chair so we decided to sit there, enjoying the view of the afternoon.
And here, we finally sat down, resuscitating our backs while still holding hands.
In silence, we said nothing. We were satisfied just by feeling the warmth of our hands with each other.
The atmosphere became perfect as we looked at the garden illuminated by the sun's orange color.
"Hows it? Did you enjoy it?"
Cutting this silence, I began to ask him.
Even though I knew from his expression, I wanted to hear it directly.
It was answered with a nod of the head from May.
"Em, this is more fun than I thought. I've never been this happy before."
The silence came back to us.
.
We continued to look at the beautiful garden illuminated by the afternoon sun.
At that silence, I began to daydream about our first meeting.
I first saw Mei in the school garden.
Mei always sat in the long chair alone.
Behind him was a huge tree that protected him from the light. At that time, cherry blossoms were blooming. It was a beautiful sight, I will never forget it.
I was a new student at school at the time because I didn't go to school like everyone else before. That was because the Akaasa Family had resources.
However, my mother told me to enjoy school life so I followed her.
When I saw it for the first time back then, I could see a cold aura and a warm aura within it. The aura looked familiar, but I don't know why.
At the time, I was very interested in talking to him.
To be honest, it was quite strange for me because I still lost half of my feelings.
At first Mei was indifferent and cold as usual. However, after he found out about my knowledge of the book, he started to take an interest in me, after which without us knowing it, we had spent a lot of time chatting.
And believe it or not, but I fell in love with her at the time.
.
.
"What are you thinking?"
Mei who was sitting next to me turned her head towards me.
I just smiled as I continued to stare at the beautiful afternoon scenery.
“I only remember the past. You were a pretty cold little girl. You only pay attention to your goals and not enough time to look around you.”
I chuckled as I said that then I turned to her to look at her pretty face.
“However, now, you look alive, your smile is full of warmth. It makes me happy."
Mei threw away her face so I wouldn't see her blushing cheeks. He also slightly lowered his head, perhaps embarrassed by what I said.
I took a deep breath, changed my expression, a little more seriously.
"May, I love you. Will you be my lover?"
"…."
Mei just kept quiet, maybe surprised by what I said. Then he looked at my face to see what he heard.
I replied with a smile.
“You know, I realized that I loved you all this time. I'm asking you out so I can tell you that 'i love you', Mei.”
After confirming what he heard, his eyes began to water slightly.
Is he sad? No. gabe. He tried to smile, was he happy?
"Ms."
He nodded his head with a few tears.
Hearing her answer, I immediately pulled her into my arms.
He did not fight back, instead returning my embrace. His head was hiding in my chest, covering his blushing cheeks and his eyes that had few tears.
I knew I was a jerk all along.
I made him wait too long.
.
After a few minutes, Mei started to raise her head to look at my face. I never turned my attention away from her so our gazes began to meet.
It was then that our faces began to approach and….
"Em."
We finally kissed. It was probably our first kiss, but somehow we didn't feel awkward.
We were accompanied by the light in the afternoon, and the beautiful view of the garden, it was a difficult picture to describe.
After we let go of our kiss, she said,
"I love you too, Yu.
