He gently pushed her down the bed as they continued kissing passionately. It was already night time and all they could hear was the crickets outside the treehouse. His lips traveled from her lips down to her neck and she gasped softly, feeling their bodies scorching due to the intimacy they had for each other. She arched her back and closed her eyes while biting her lips. It was her first time and she was nervous that it might turn out to be a nightmare.

"Sho, wait.." She whispered and he stopped to look at her. She sat on the bed and rummaged through the bedside drawer to look for a protection that they could use. She found none and then, he caught her attention once again. He pulled out a small packet from his pocket and gave it to her.

"You're looking for that?" He asked and she shyly nodded her head. He continued to kiss her until she could keep up with him. She held onto the packet tightly, wrapping her arm around his neck while kissing him back.

It didn't take long for them to get naked under the sheets. He urged her to open the packet and put the protection on him. She blushed furiously as it was her first time to see something like that. She took a deep breath and then, she readied herself from the pain she will receive once he pushed it inside her. She whimpered softly, teary-eyed since she felt like she was breaking in half. She buried her face on his bare chest while crying silently. He hugged her tight and kissed her temples before starting to move slowly.

"It hurts." She cried when he moved. He stopped and then, when she felt that it was already fine, she asked him to move again. She squirmed when she felt something ticklish inside her. She let out a soft moan and then, he bucked his hips to move fast.

The bedroom was filled with sweet noises that night and the next morning, she found themselves naked and covered with the blankets. She looked around and saw their clothes scattered on the floor. Her whole body was sore and she couldn't move much. He opened his eyes and greeted her good morning. She smiled sweetly and gave him a good morning kiss. It has been a day since they officially got together.

"My body feels painful." She mumbled while staring at him. They suddenly heard someone knocking, so he got up from the bed and quickly put his clothes on. She hid under the blankets, thinking that someone might see her naked. The moment he opened the door, he fell on the floor as the punch he received from the Seventh Prince was that hard.

"Where's Fuyu?" The younger one asked but he didn't wait for his answer anymore. He went straight to the bedroom and he saw her figure under the blankets. She thought that it was the Third Prince, so she peeked outside from the blankets and then, she sat up on the bed while covering her whole body with it.

"She is now my girlfriend." The Third Prince said and it seemed the Seventh Prince couldn't accept it, so he threw another punch to his face. She shouted at them to stop and the Eighth Prince was there to stop them.

"No one owns me but Sho! I gave myself to him!" She shouted and the Seventh Prince knelt in front of her while crying silently. He shook his head and reached for her hands. He forced himself to get out of the hospital just to get her back.

"Tell me that it's not true. Tell me that you're only lying. Tell me that you still love me." He said and she slowly shook her head. She pulled her hands away from his grip and turned away. The Seventh Prince stood up from his spot and went out of the treehouse. The Eighth Prince immediately followed him since he couldn't drive yet.

"I did the right thing, right?" She asked the Third Prince as she started crying softly. He nodded and closed the door behind him. He quickly went to her side and hugged her. She felt like what she did was a wrong thing.

"The most important thing is you were honest to your feelings. You don't need to shoulder all the problems from now on. I'm already here." He said and she hugged him back tight. She cried in his arms, convincing herself to do the right thing soon.

On the other hand, the Student Council President was having a cup of tea with the Elder of the Hasegawa Clan at the mansion. He was invited by the elder yesterday and he just got time that day. They were talking about business until the topic changed into his plans with the Ninth Princess. He didn't say much since he felt like it was already the dead end. He could tell that she would not give any more attention to him.

"I would like to stay friends with her, Ojii-sama. I'm sure she already chose the one she wants in her life." He said after placing down the empty cup of tea. The elder nodded as he also noticed it. Ever since he learned that the Third Prince has been pursuing his granddaughter, he had someone to investigate his family background but then, he also couldn't neglect his promise with the Seventh Prince's grandfather.

"Her happiness is the most important after all. I heard from Makoto that she is with Shogo today." The elder said and the younger one nodded. With what happened with her and the Seventh Prince, it would be fair enough for her to take some rest. They stopped from talking when they saw the Seventh Prince arriving. The elder gestured to him to leave for a while and when they were finally alone, the Seventh Prince told him what happened.

"I will talk to her. Do you love her?" He asked and the younger one nodded. With what he told, it seemed like his granddaughter already chose between the three men. He comforted him but he didn't assure him that he would be able to urge his granddaughter to be with him once again.
