"Why? Would you like to try?" Key asked, grabbing Rika's hand and as he was about to reach for his jogging shorts, her other hand shoved his hand away.
"No! NEVER! I would never do that!" said Rika, almost shouting. Key chuckled at her reaction. Teasing Rika is fun but when he learns she would never touch him like that, he feels a bit disappointed.
"Any other questions?" He leaned closer and studied her face.
"That guy was groping the girl's breasts. How does it feel?" Rika was also curious about this. Key smirked as she asked the second question. His inner beast wanted to touch her as well. He didn't know she was curious about it.
"Should I touch you the way he did?" He whispered.
Rika immediately stood up from his lap. He pulled her back, staring at her breasts. His hand came close to her chest and Rika pushed his hand away.
"That's a question. I didn't tell you to touch me." Rika said, his mouth slightly parted making him laugh out loud.
"Why are you so cute?" Key pinched Rika's cheek making her frown at him.
"I'm curious but..."
"If you're uncomfortable, then I won't force you. Let's keep watching this movie." Key said, leaning back against the leather couch.
Rika was still sitting on his lap, thinking. She was staring blankly at him when he pulled her closer to him. Rika raised her head, still staring at him.
"What you're thinking?" Key asked.
Rika shook her head, staring at his handsome face. He leaned in close and kissed her on the lips. It was supposed to be an innocent kiss, but it was passionate and intense.
After the camp, they all returned to X city. Van Rima had to go to France to manage the company. The purpose he and Mrs. Jade came here was to find her son. Mrs. Jade is Van Rima's wife, so she had to follow her husband to France. But she has just met her son, and Mrs. Jade wants Key to go with her. But that is difficult. She knows that Key won't break up with Rika easily.
"I'm not forcing you, but I hope you come with me." Mrs. Jade told Key as they sat in his study.
Key feels awkward. "Can't you stay here?"
Mrs. Jade's eyes looked sad. "I want to stay but now that I am a consultant at Rima company, I can't help but go. More..." She paused.
Key understood what his mother meant. "You are the wife of Mr. Rima, so you have to go." He spoke in a low and hoarse voice. "We just met again, I want to be with you but I..."
Mrs. Jade stroked her son's hair. "I understand. I'll give you time to think."
They didn't know that Rika was standing outside and had overheard their conversation. She sighed and turned to walk down the hallway. Even though she loves him, she can't selfishly keep him by her side. Key should live with his mother. When she thought of that, she couldn't help but feel pain.
During break time, Wendy saw Rika sitting alone, she approached Rika and asked. "Why do you look so sad? You can share with me." Wendy sat down on the chair across from Rika.
"You know, Key has found his mother and most likely, he will go with her to France," Rika said, her mood was sad.
"I have heard of this. But don't be pessimistic, maybe he will stay."
Rika shook her head after hearing her colleague speak. "They've just met, so they're going to have to be together, right? I know that I shouldn't be selfish, keeping him by my side but the thought of being away from him, I can't stand it."
Wendy patted Rika's head. "He loves you so much, he definitely won't leave you. I believe he will make the right choice."
Rika looked at her with teary eyes. Hearing Wendy's words, her heart was relieved a little.
The next morning, Rika walked into the main lobby of the company, and she heard her colleagues say that Key was at the airport and that maybe he would go to France with his mother.
Before she could react, Rika saw her feet rushing to the gate, she hailed a taxi, telling the driver that she wanted to go to the airport.
On the way, Rika muttered. 'If he goes, I won't stop him. I just wanted to see him off. But why, he didn't say a word to me?'
Arriving at the airport, Rika finds Key everywhere. Squeezed in the tumultuous line ahead, she glanced around while silently praying. The flight to France will depart in five minutes. The voice of the flight attendant made her shiver.
The plane slowly took off into the air. Rika sighed sadly. A man's hand rested on her shoulder from behind, Rika turned her head to see a familiar handsome face reflected in her clear black and white eyes.
"You... you didn't go with your mother?" Rika was surprised.
Key smiled and shook his head. "I came here to see her off. I have a job here, there is a woman who loves me, why should I go? I also told my mother that every month I would go to France to visit her. Of course, she agreed."
Hearing him say that, Rika's nose soured, her eyes red. For the moment, she doesn't know what to say, but one thing's for sure, she's glad he chose to stay.
"I can't wait any longer." Suddenly, Key got down on one knee, and by the way, he took a box from his vest pocket.
Rika stared at him in shock, her heart racing. The people around them started to stop to watch the scene where he proposed to her.
Thin lips curved into an arc, and Key looked straight into her eyes. "Rika, agree to marry me, okay?" The words ended, and he opened the box.
Rika looked down when she saw the bright light from the box, a very beautiful ring, her eyes widened, forgetting her thoughts.
"This..."
'Am I dreaming? He proposed to me?'
Rika felt confused because this was so unexpected.
Key knew his proposal was sudden, but he didn't want to wait. He wants her to be his forever.
Seeing that Rika didn't answer, he couldn't help but open his mouth to repeat it. "I love you, Rika, do you agree to marry me?"
