They looked around Nagoya Castle where the exhibition inside was interesting and the stroll in its garden was pleasant. Next was at the oldest landmark, Atsuta Shrine with over 1900 year history.The last they went to was the biggest j.a.panese Garden, s.h.i.+rotori Garden where they stopped for a while to enjoy tea time in a traditional room.
Arya opened her purse to give Ryu the ticket for their fas.h.i.+on show. Ryu smiled and said, "I was about to purchase one on my own cause inviting me took you so long. So I thought I would just surprise you with my grand attendance instead."
He was obviously complaining that she just invited him now.
"It"s still early. You"re just not used to waiting are you?" she said simply and sipped her green tea with j.a.panese confectionery.
"Why do you even like me?" Arya suddenly asked out of nowhere. She still can"t believe that Ryu Ken will like her at that short span of time. Not that she was saying it"s impossible but he was Ryu Ken, how come he trusts her so easily and like her at this point because she was not that dumb and clearly feels his sincerity towards her.
Ryu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do I need to answer that?"
"Then don"t answer if you don"t want to," Arya reacted with pouted lips. She remembered the same trending words from him before when asked about his engagement with actress Liza. Just this time, at least the word "nonsense" was not included in the end of his sentence.
Ryu laughed and returned the same question to her, "Why do you even like me?"
"Who said I liked you?" Arya answered. She was only teasing him. Ryu looked at her closely. It was so intense that Arya can"t last to his eye to eye contact.
She smiled and spoke enthusiastically, "Okay. I like you because you are the handsome and s.e.xy boyfriend as you declared a while ago?"
"That"s all?" Ryu complained while he looked at her intently.
"Hmm. What else? Because you are good in smooching and you smell nice and you are quite the sweet, good and caring boyfriend so far?" Arya added giggling.
"How about me? Why do you like me?" Arya asked once more out of curiosity.
"Come here and I will tell you," Ryu said while gesturing her to sit beside him. Arya followed and looked at him as she waited for his reply. "Move closer," Ryu instructed smiling.
Arya frowned as she saw Ryu"s wicked smile. Before she can stand up, Ryu swiftly embraced and kissed her.
"Because you are naive," Arya heard him murmured between his kisses. That moment, she felt like her body was suddenly splashed by cold water. She felt that the word naive does not suit her.
She erased the negative thought out of her head and just enjoyed Ryu"s warm lips against hers.
It"s their sixth day of knowing each other and the third day of being officially in a relations.h.i.+p. As what Kay mentioned, it can be considered as a whirlwind romance because everything happened so fast.
Today was her sister"s transplant operation and she was waiting for her mom"s call on the status and outcome. She can actually call her mom and ask but she was a little bit nervous. Her pitiable little sister had undergone such hards.h.i.+p at her early age. She hoped and prayed that this time around, Reese can live a normal life and enjoy her youth.
She released herself from his intense kissing then she cupped his face and looked Ryu in the eyes.
"I am really sorry. I promise to make it up to you in the future should our path comes across once more." She wanted to voice it out but held herself.
Instead, she kissed his cheeks, nose, eyes and forehead then lips. She basically showered him with sweet little kisses all over his face. Ryu was flabbergasted. Thus, his face unexpectedly reddened. Arya smiled seeing him acted like a teenager who had been hara.s.sed by the girl he liked. This side of Ryu Ken was probably unknown to others and she was glad she"s been able to know and witness this side of him.

"Sometimes try acting like a normal citizen so you can experience how it"s like with simple people or travelling like a simple one." Arya was giggling as she dropped those words to Ryu. They went back by bullet train once more but this time with others occupying the rest of the seats.
Ryu no longer commented and just cuddled her on the entire trip. It was his first time to experience travelling with a lot of people and hearing their chats. He was born on a strict and very rich family. He was well pampered as a child and can be considered as a royal blood because of their family"s wealth.
He grew up as a calculative person and there"s no room for mistakes. Their family owned one of the largest and most diversified conglomerates, engaged primarily in business that serve a growing middle cla.s.s with rising disposable incomes worldwide – the RK Summit Holdings, Inc. Group of Companies. But he doesn"t want to get involved with their messed up family so he put up his own business, Ramada.
Arya was right; it was not a bad experience at all, being a simple and normal person, especially if Arya was around him, every experience was memorable and fun.
