"I hate you…"
Haruka couldn't help, but let out another suppressed laugh as Jiro with his fingers over his temples gave her an even stare.
"I wish I can see Michiru! So I can get mad at her for even letting you go through with it!"
"Uh uh uh," the blonde sounded as she shook her head. "No seeing the bride until the ceremony."
"I know! I'm going to give her hell afterwards!"
"She didn't really do anything though—
"Guilty by association!" the red haired man yelled, pointing at her. "She let you plan it and even went to the party after the rehearsals were all done—
"All because she was going to spend the night at my condo and it was only a story higher…"
"Which proves that she's guilty by association!"
The tomboy sighed. "Whatever you say Jiro-kun—
"And that Tylenol Hikaru-san gave me hasn't even kicked in yet!"
"It's fine…the ceremony won't start for another several hours…"
"Where's Michiru by the way? She's doing alright?"
"Shina Oba-san's with her. They're—
Haruka stopped her words as the door opened and in came a disgruntled Shinji.
"Oji-san? You alright?" Jiro asked as the older man let out a sigh and closed the door with a slam.
"He hasn't come in yet," he grunted, rubbing his wrinkled forehead roughly. "He's not answering his phone, he hasn't called…nothing! I'm going to fire him the moment I see him just to feel better about the situation regardless of the news he brings…gah!!"
He kicked an empty bed frame with his sandals and then sighed once more, looking at the clock that read just shortly after one in the afternoon.
Haruka thought he was talking about his father, but his last reiterated words wouldn't make sense in if that were the case—if he could've fired his father a long time ago, they wouldn't be in this mess. Jiro seemed to know what he was talking about though because he stopped tying his bow tie and walked to the now sitting man, patting him on the shoulder when he neared him.
"It's still too early though isn't it?"
"A week…" Shinji stated dejectedly. "One damn week…I thought I could…influence him with money or whatever he wanted. He's a friend too! He said he'd try. Try my ass! It's only a matter of signing one damn piece of paper and he can't even do that! One week…It's just one week!"
Jiro sighed and gripped at his temples again while the tomboy merely stood across the room, looking at both of them in confusion. Not feeling as if they would reel her into the conversation anytime soon, not that she wanted to, she turned to the full body length mirror in front of her again and began fixing her bow tie.
They were in the tea house situated next to the garden where the wedding ceremony and reception would be held. Everyone had stayed over at the Royal Condominium Tower for the night after the bachelor bash and oversleeping into the next day later, the bride and groom with the help of the two blondes were taken in separate cars to the garden.
It had started…the day of reckoning. And it seemed as if it was going too slow and too fast all at the same time for everyone involved.
"I'm going to take my shower and come back to put on the suit. Gotta greet the guests too so…" Shinji trailed as he opened one of the closet doors to reveal his hanging tuxedo as well as a towel and all the necessities he'd need for his shower.
