1 PROLOGUE

"Do you think we are too young to get married now?" murmured one of the men who was carrying a glass of vodka with his sitting style which implied a charismatic businessman.

"What's the matter, Art? Don't you want to get married? " Asked a man named Dennis, in his humorous tone. The man stared at Arthur, the interlocutor.

Arthur put down his vodka glass, then leaned his body while staring at the ceiling and thinking.

"Hm I have no idea. I don't understand women anymore. " Arthur answered as he sighed.

Right now, they were in one of the famous VIP club rooms. They usually gather here at night, with a certain schedule. Usually, just to talk, or if they are bored.

Suddenly, the door shifted and showed Felix in his casual suit. He immediately approached his friends on the sofa and sat next to Edric, who was being clung to by a woman, then took the vodka glass that is on the table.

"What did I miss?" Felix asked casually, then downed a glass of vodka.

"Late. You always do that, Jullian. You and your bad habits. " Dennis replied, chuckling.

Felix shrugged his shoulders. Today he was so tired, but still took his time to fulfill the invitation of his friends tonight. This morning, his mother asked him to accompany him to the supermarket, and as a result he had to do his work when his mother finished shopping, precisely, when the sun began to set.

"Maybe you should ask that question to Jullian too." Justin said suddenly, glancing at Dennis.

"Ah! Finally, you speak up too, great Lord Justin Leonard. " interrupted Arthur who immediately made everyone laugh.

Well, Justin Leonard is classified as a man who is very frugal talk, even he is also frugal smile. His face is indeed handsome and looks authoritative. However, his cold attitude obscured his good looks, that's how his friends described.

Justin ignored him and rolled his eyes, sighing.

"What's 'that' thing?" Felix asked, frowning.

Edric shrugged, not understanding. Since earlier, he was just spoiled with a woman who clung to him. Ah, nope. Perhaps it was the woman who spoiled him, so, with extreme compulsion, he simply accepted and joined in.

"Ah, that. Marriage, love and stuffs, Jullian. Maybe you're not interested in that kind of thing. " Dennis replied dismissively.

"Say, Mr. Julian. How do you think about marriage thing? " Arthur asked, putting down his vodka glass and staring at Felix across the couch he was sitting on.

"You know me, Mr. Dale. So far, no one can give me more sincerity of love than my parents. Well, I also don't intend to find a woman to be my life's companion. " Felix answered casually.

Everyone cheered, except Justin of course. He just shook his head to see his friends who love to discuss this kind of issues.

"But, one day you will marry someone, Dude. You'll get her heart. after all, which woman who will refuse your look." said Dennis with a-crisp-laugh. That's true, that is not a question, but a statement.

"Wait. Who knows, someday, there will be a beautiful and sweet woman who will reject him and his pride will be like, ouch…..!"

Suddenly a pillow had landed smoothly in front of Arthur who was talking. Who else if not Felix did it. He was a little bit insulted by the problem of 'the woman who would refuse' his look. Well, he must admit what Dennis said before Arthur spoke.

Dennis and Edric who saw him roared with laughter at Arthur who was hit by the pillow. While Justin just shook his head, again, smiling faintly. He was used to seeing his friends like this. Honestly, this is one of the entertainment thing that he likes when they're around.

"Don't insult my face, Arthur. Besides, there is already an evidence here, other than Edric, women also always tease me. " Felix said confidently while glancing at Edric.

"That is because, he is indeed an expert in 'player matters', Dude. And besides, we also often see him with many women and ask them to dinner or being taken to his apartment. And you? Not even holding hands. Your old sweet seduction won't last long, Mr. Jullian. " Justin explained at length. On problems like this, Justin will always talk ahead of the others.

Everyone was astonished at Justin's long explanation.

"WOW! That's the longest sentence of ridicule I've ever heard directly from your mouth, Justin. So proud! " exclaimed Dennis, standing up and clapping loudly.

"I admit it, it was. Before I kick your ass. " sarcastic Justin who immediately made everyone laugh, except Dennis. He immediately sat back down and just laughed.

"Guys, we should finish discussing our main topic." Arthur urged, at the same time broke up their fight.

"Come on. The point of this discussion is, in the end we will all get married. I won't lie if I want to get married too. Unfortunately, I haven't found the right girl. That is all." said Edric, releasing the woman's arm beside him.

"The girl who can satisfy you, maybe that's what you mean, Mr. Bastard. " answered Felix, confirming Edric's words.

"Well, that's also included. Trust me, everyone... "Edric had not finished his words when all his friends continued what Edric would say, as usual.

"Everyone needs 'that' ", Edric. Yeah, we know. " they exclaimed by censoring parts of 'that' they didn't want to mention. That made Edric laugh out loud.

"Um, maybe one of us will think about this marriage thing seriously." satirized Arthur.

All of them then glanced at a man who sat in the corner of the sofa and looked at him for a long time. While the man they looked at raised his eyebrows. "What?" Justin asked, felt like he was being stared at by his friends.

"Give your statement, dear Justin." answered Dennis with his dearest call and immediately get a sharp look from Justin.

"I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe no. For the time being, of course not. " Justin answered casually while shrugging his shoulders.

Everything was stunned by the answers given Justin. So what does Justin mean? Which one is true?

Everyone was remaining silent for a long time with their minds. Of course, about this marriage matter. All of them become hard thinkers, including the Cold and Handsome Prince, Justin Leonardo.

"Yes, maybe it's true. We really have to get married later. I don't want my parents to set me up suddenly with his acquaintance daughter or whoever it is. That's a bit... disgusting and dropping my pride as a man who should seek his own true love." obviously Edric shuddered in terror at the thought of his arranged marriage and everyone nodded their heads in agreement, except Justin who only raised his eyebrows.

"But who knows, isn't it? We won't know what destiny we will faced." Justin explained.

"That is true. Most importantly, we will get married for sure. Thinking about this, it feels really impatient thing for me. Ah, how does my future wife look like, huh? " said Dennis, staring at the ceiling and smiling.

"Wondering from the five of us, who will get married first?" Felix wandered into the air, while the question was able to make his friends think harder.

Nobody thought that their future would change their personality as real men they should be. None of them can guess what their life will be like after marriage. But, thinking back about Felix's question before. Which of them will get married first? Considering they must get married because it's the fact that can't be avoided as a mature man. Whether they love each other or not, they must get married.
