Kleneng!
All pairs of eyes of the gangsters working in the cafe today turned to the door of the cafe. They also greeted some customers who had just arrived.
"Welcome to the boys flower cafe."
Naoki, who was making drinks for customers, turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall near the counter.
Kazunari, who had been watching Naoki for a while, kept turning his head towards the clock on the wall, frowning in surprise.
"Nao-san, I've noticed that you're keeping an eye on the clock. Are you having an appointment with someone today?" Kazunari asked after he finished concocting drinks for customers and gave them to Fumio.
Naoki who had also just finished concocting drinks for customers rubbed the nape of his neck briefly. He didn't expect Kazunari to notice him who kept looking at the wall clock.
"Ah, yes. Today I have an appointment with someone, so I keep an eye on the clock." Naoki replied to which Kazunari nodded his head.
"It's worth it. Since you don't usually keep your eyes on the clock, Nao-san."
Naoki chuckled softly. "Sorry, I must have bothered you, Kazu-kun?"
Kazunari who heard Naoki's question immediately shook his head quickly. "No, I'm not bothered at all. It's just that I was a little surprised earlier."
Naoki let out a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, I was worried that you would be annoyed because of me."
"Not at all. But it looks like the appointment you had today looks quite important. You look a little nervous today."
Naoki was silent for a moment hearing Kazunari's words. He glanced his eyes to the right and left to pay attention to the surroundings, before he walked a little closer to Kazunari.
Kazunari who saw Naoki watching around them before walking closer to him, frowned in surprise. He guessed, it seemed that what Naoki was going to say at this time was quite a secret.
"Actually, tonight I have an appointment with my parents to meet one of their acquaintances."
Kazunari was silent for a moment digesting the meaning of what Naoki said.
"Ekhm, Nao-san. You mean, tonight you will be paired with the child of one of your parents' acquaintances?" Kazunari asked which made Naoki roll his eyes in surprise then put his index finger in front of his lips.
"Ssshhh, lower your voice. I don't want the others to know about this."
Kazunari immediately closed his lips tightly and nodded his head quickly.
"Besides, it's still uncertain. It's just that recently my parents have been very aggressive about asking me to approach the daughter of some of their acquaintances." Naoki whispered again, Kazunari nodded his head in return.
Kazunari doesn't feel surprised if Naoki's parents are currently aggressively marrying the man, considering the man's age is above him.
"But do you currently have a lover yourself? Maybe if you already have a lover, you can talk about it with your parents, so that they don't get into an arranged match." Kazunari asked which made Naoki take a deep breath.
"If I already have a lover, my parents will definitely not be so aggressive in setting me up with their acquaintance, Kazu-kun."
Kazunari silently confirmed what Naoki said.
"Yes, like it or not at this time you have to follow what your parents suggested, Nao-san. After all, we don't have any schedule tonight either? Juza-san and Goshi-kun haven't come back from their business trip yet."
Naoki nodded his head slowly. "Yes, you're right. Right now all I can do is follow what my parents suggested."
Kazunari was silent for a moment, before a strange question popped into his head. "Ehm, Nao-san. Can I ask you something?"
One of Naoki's eyebrows shot up, looking at Kazunari in surprise. "Sure, it's not like usual if you want to ask something, ask my permission first."
Kazunari nodded his head slowly and now he slowly walked closer to Naoki.
Naoki, who saw Kazunari getting closer to him, thought that Kazunari wanted to ask something quite serious.
"Nao-san, you're still attracted to women, aren't you?"
Naoki's eyes widened in surprise at Kazunari's question.
"Yes of course! I'm still attracted to women! Your question is very strange Kazu-kun."
Kazunari nodded his head silently, then snapped his fingers. "That's good then! At first I was surprised to see you are old but don't have a girlfriend yet. I thought you were gay and attracted to one of us. But thank goodness you still like women."
Naoki felt an intersection appear on his forehead after hearing what Kazunari said. "Hey, hey, hey, boy. Your tongue is very presumptuous, isn't it."
Kazunari raised his index and middle fingers to form a victor. "Piis, I was just guessing, Nao-san."
Naoki let out a long sigh. "But still. Even if I like the same sex, is that a problem for you Kazu-kun?"
Kazunari was silent for a moment thinking about a few things before he answered Naoki's question. "Ehm, I don't think it's a problem. But other people's views will definitely be different. Most likely people out there will find it strange and unnatural."
"Yeah, if we think about other people's reactions, there's definitely no end to it. Even if you're not dating the same sex, they'll still have their own opinions. If you're dating a woman who is older than you, they'll still talk about you and have weird reactions. against you." Naoki said which made Kazunari silent.
"So, Nao-san. Do you personally think that liking the same sex is okay?" Kazunari asked looking at Naoki. But Kazunari's gaze broke when he saw Hiro who had just come out of the kitchen.
"Yes, I personally think it doesn't matter. As long as they like, love, and care for each other. After all, they are also in a relationship, not me." Naoki replied while shrugging his shoulders.
Kazunari nodded his head slowly. "Alright then. Nice to consult with you Nao-san. Then I need to go to the toilet for a bit."
Naoki raised an eyebrow at Kazunari who left him. "It's not uncommon for the child to say thank you after asking."

Flip.
Azami, who just got out of the car, kept an eye on his cell phone, which was trying to call Tenma.
"Azami-sama. This way, please."
Azami, whose name was called, turned his head towards a big man clad in a black coat, nodded his head slowly and followed the man's direction even though he was a little irritated at the moment.
Azami let out a long sigh when he failed to contact Tenma. Now he is trying to find another contact name for him to contact.
Azami chose to try contacting Daichi this time. He hoped that the man would pick up the call. Because he had tried to contact Tenma, Julian, Kuroo and Toshiro, but none of them picked up the call.
A smile was etched on Azami's face when he saw Daichi answer his call.
"Hello? Daichi-san?"
'Yes, Azami-kun. Have you finished taking care of your needs on campus?'
Azami cleared his throat in response to Daichi's words. "Ehm, yes. I've finished taking care of my needs on campus."
'Thank God, then are you currently on your way home?'
Azami was silent for a moment, he glanced at his eyes looking around. Where he is currently in a hotel in Tokyo along with five big men and black suits around him. Making himself the center of attention of hotel guests.
"Daichi-san, it looks like I won't be going home tonight."
'What? Why? Are you in trouble?'
Azami could hear the worried tone of Daichi's question thrown at him.
"Azami-sama, please come in. We will escort you to the Fur-
"Ah no Daichi-san! It's just that today my grandfather wants to come back to see me. He said he had some things he wanted to talk about." Azami answered answering Daichi's question as well as cutting off the words of one of the big men who almost mentioned his real family name.
If Daichi hears his real surname, then the gangster members will know his true identity.
Meanwhile Azami glared at the big man who had spoken to him.
'Ah, so it seems. Should I tell Yu-chan if you're meeting your grandpa?'
"Oh no. Tell him I'm going to see an old friend of mine to discuss a new design project in Tokyo. I don't want him to know."
Azami could hear Daichi clear his throat somewhere.
'Okay, I won't tell Yu-chan.'
"Thank you Daichi-san. Sorry if I troubled you."
'Not a problem Azami-kun.'
Ting!
"Azami-sama, please. Master, your uncles, aunts and cousins are waiting in the room."
Azami took a deep breath.
"Daichi-san, I'll close the connection first."
'Ehm, are you okay Azami-kun?'
Azami was silent for a moment hearing Daichi's question.
"Yes. I will contact you later Daichi-san."
After that Azami disconnected the phone unilaterally, then put his cellphone in his jeans pocket.
"Are they all coming?" Azami asked one of the men in black suits with flat eyes.
The man in the suit nodded his head slowly. "Yes, sir, your uncles, aunts and cousins are already in the room."
Azami took another deep breath, before he opened the door to the VIP room in front of him.
