chapter twelve ; what have you got to lose?

The next time Misaki and Yuzuru met was a few days before the wedding, when they were informed that their customised groomsman and bridesmaid attire had been tailored.

It was at a small designer boutique, and Yuzuru had been there with his friends before Misaki had arrived. When she did, the look on his face changed as Kento was the one sending her all the way till she met up with Kiyoko and Umi.

"Misaki!" Umi called with a happy tone.

"Hey!" She hugged her friend, and explained that Kento only came to say goodbye because he had to go back to Tokyo for filming.

"I'll see you soon, okay. Call me when you get to Tokyo." Misaki said, hugging her boyfriend, taking in all that she will be missing.

"Alright. I'll miss you. I love you."

The scene simply made the girls exclaim in awe while Yuzuru wasn't giving the similar reaction. He didn't even want to look.

As Kento left, Yuzuru and Misaki were then instantly told to go to the fitting room where their clothes were waiting for them.

As they were trying it on, Umi and Shoya were told to go get theirs after and Tadashi and Kiyoko went to finalise the preparations for the big day.

As Yuzuru and Misaki stepped out of the fitting room, the two looked at each other and they really didn't know what to say to one another.

"You look nice." He complimented her.

"Thank you. So do you." She replied.

"Are you excited, for the wedding?"

Misaki raised brow at the question, "Well, yeah, but it isn't my wedding."

"Still, a wedding's an exciting thing."

She gave him a smile and the silence came back, but in a much more eased manner.

Once they were all done, it was time for the one thing that everyone loves and fears at the same time.

The Bachelor Party

-

Yuzuru was already dressed to go out for Tadashi's bachelor party. It wasn't until he arrived at the place that he knew the trouble he was getting himself in.

It was at a very private area, where it didn't look like a place many would know. It had the vibe of a night-club, but also a very calm night club.

"What are we doing here?" Yuzuru asked.

"We, are going to have fun." Shoya said.

-

Misaki had made this as an early wedding gift when she rented out a whole spa for the night. The girls were given the complete treatment as they relaxed and talked.

"So, I guess after this you will no longer be a wild lady." Umi teased.

"I can't wait till you two have kids so I can spoil them rotten." Misaki said.

The girls laughed, and then Kiyoko added, "I can't wait till I see you and Kento at the altar."

Misaki then fell silent, and Umi asked her, "Misa, do you actually love Kento?"

"I do. Don't get me wrong, I really do. But it's complicated, you know. We're both so busy and we try to make it work-"

"You know that's not what I mean." She cleared the topic, "I mean, is Yuzuru still on your mind?"

A sigh escaped Misaki's lips, as she recalled what had happened between her and Yuzuru weeks ago.

"Oh, Misaki." Kiyoko said, "You know. I think you should tell Kento about your emotions. You can't let him be on the side about this."

"I know. It's just so difficult when someone genuinely loves you but you're just still stuck in the past."

-

Yuzuru sat down after several rounds of partying and people drinking. In his sober condition, he checked his phone to see if there were any messages, but then he scrolled through the articles that he had been alerted of that were about him, and in one of them there was a photo of Misaki and him when they were at the exhibition after years of not seeing each other.

"Hey, you alright?" Shoya asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He lied. Shoya looked at his phone and saw the photograph from the article.

"You still can't let her go, can you?"

Yuzuru shook his head, and Tadashi suddenly came into the conversation, "Then tell her."

"She is in love with someone else. Has she not made that clear for all of us?" Yuzuru said.

"It's not a matter of that. It's a matter that if she were truly in love with someone else, she wouldn't have chased after you that night when we were having dinner, or even get on the same flight as you when you brought her back home. She's not truly in love with that guy, Yuzuru. Trust me. Because Kiyoko is always right and this time I believe in it fully."

"Tell her, Yuzu." Shoya cheered, "What have you got to lose?"
