The Ocean Beneath Her Feet
[COMPLETED] Born as the Yuasa family's illegitimate child, Yuasa Shouko was grateful for having a loving half-sister and caring aunt. Yet, she was utterly dismayed when her evil father and stepmother wanted to sell her off to a violent young master. But, why did she suddenly wake up to five years in the future? And, since when did she get married to Kashino Kyoya, the young master of the Kashino family? Wasn't he supposed to marry her half-sister? Shouko lost all the memories of the prior years. Despite that, Kyoya's gentle and respectful treatment put her at ease as she scoured the waters of her lost memories. She also gained a more supportive family at the same time. Yet... As time went by, Shouko realized Kyoya and everyone were hiding a dark secret from her. What made him so scared? What led to her loss of memories? ********** Yuasa Shouko: Throughout her life, she always felt like she was standing above the ocean. While nervously waiting for the ocean to swallow her whole, she still pushed herself to bravely dance over the surface, enjoying her life. It was not until one day when she woke up that she realized she had lost a portion of her life. And then there was him. The one man who was patiently guiding her back to the shore even at the risk of drowning himself. "You know, I am jealous of my past self because she experienced the love you gave her. I want to remember my feelings but... it's only void in my mind. What should I do?" Kashino Kyoya: He has closed off his heart since he knew even his closest person could throw him away. He thought her appearance was just a trivial addition to his life. Little did he expect she could crack open the hard shell covering his heart. For the first time, he chose to allow himself another chance to love and be loved by someone. But, he never thought to have his hope shattered once his existence was erased from her mind. Facing the new beginning, he vowed to make her happier and loved. "No matter who you are, the past you or the one with me right now, I love every part of you. So, don't be afraid. I won't ever make you question your trust in me." ------------------------------------------------- Discord: hansora#1507 Instagram: hansora_author AI-generated cover
She Wasn't As Youthful As Five Years Ago
That morning, Kyoya handed Shouko a file.
"Show this to your sister," He answered when she asked him what it was. "Tell her everything. It's hard but you know you have to do it."
Shouko nodded sullenly. "I understood."
Kyoya rubbed her head lovingly. Today was going to be hard on his wife but it was something inevitable. He could only hope she wouldn't blame herself after revealing everything to her sister.
"After you met your sister and if you're not tired, why don't you come to see me next?" Kyoya twirled her ring finger as he said so with expectation in his eyes. "Maybe, we could go for another date tonight?"
Shouko giggled hearing his almost pleading tone. "Alright. Let's do that!"
Kyoya beamed. He left to work in a good mood.
Shouko shook her head helplessly. Last night, they argued but made up with each other so soon. Today, he was as bright as the sun hanging above their heads.
