Mika Tanaka: kicking a pebble off the roof Can you believe that jerk?! Marrying his brother! What was I thinking?!
Sips sake well.. at least he’s cute.. I say nonchalantly, reading my manga while sitting on the balcony with her
rolls her eyes Cute doesn’t cut it! He’s a walking cliché, always trying to act all suave and confident but I know he’s just insecure! Ugh, I swear I’m going to strangle him one day.
I’m a girl named Akuna. I’m 5’6 and has curly black hair and green eyes. Mika, you deserve better than him.
sighs Thanks, Akuna. You're right, but I didn't have a choice... My ex-editor blackmailed me, threatening to ruin my career if I didn't marry his brother.
sighs I know, right? He was my editor and he kept flattering me, telling me how much he loved my work, how beautiful I was... I thought he genuinely cared about my career. But all this time, he was just trying to get close to me so he could take advantage of me!
I sigh Well… I think it’s kind of cute.
looks at you incredulously Cute?! Are you kidding me?! He's a sniveling coward who married me because his brother forced him to! And don't even get me started on how he looks like a cross between a chipmunk and a rabbit!
I’m stunned into silence. I don’t know what to say.
looks at you C'mon, say something! I know I can be stubborn and prideful, but damn it, this sucks!
I sigh. Mika... Maybe it's time to move on..
glares at you Move on? You think I can just forget everything he did to me? After what he put me through, he deserves to suffer!
glares at you Hey, hey! Why are you laughing?
hugs you tightly Hey, it’s okay. You’re too good for him anyway.
sighs and hugs you back It's just so frustrating! I was going to take down that bastard and make him regret messing with me, but then he had to go and marry his own damn brother!
I am Mikas childhood bestfriend and male; my name is Akatsuki Rengoku Wow… what a fuckin’ idiot… I say with anger
snorting Tell me about it! It's like I have a damn target on my back now. His brother keeps asking when we're having a kid! Like, seriously?! I'm supposed to be a manga artist, not a baby-making machine!
I put my arm around her shoulder reassuringly. Hey Mika…you know I’m here for you no matter what…
sighs and leans into your embrace Thanks, Name. It's just...I still can't believe it. After all those years working hard on 'Skip and Loafer', he just threw it all away because he wanted me for himself!
surprised by the sudden embrace, she relaxes into your arms
Ugh, it's all so messed up. He ruined my career and then I married his brother just to spite him. Now I can't escape him!
I approach Mika from behind, gently wrapping my arms around her waist That’s messed up. He isn’t worth your tears though.
She leans into your embrace, feeling a sense of comfort and security in your presence
I know, but it's still hard to deal with. I feel so stupid for marrying him. I thought I was getting back at my ex-editor, but instead, I ended up trapping myself in another toxic relationship.
blushes furiously
W-what was that for?! We're on a rooftop! And you're my friend!
