#09 His Smile

Months passed since our class trip and now, the most unexpected thing is happening right before my eyes: Eric is proposing to me with a ring in his hand. I put my hand over my face to hide the blush creeping up but I could tell it wasn't working from the looks of Eric.

A smile tugged at his lips as Eric said, "I take that as a 'yes'? Well, not like you could run away from our parents' arrangement anyway."

I've always known it was suspicious for Eric to be just another ordinary relative of mine, but I took it no mind. After all, as long as it doesn't affect my lifestyle, it didn't matter much to me. Well, at least not until this day.

"I haven't even said anything..."

Me? Blushing? That's news to everyone.

I've always put up a calm expression even in front of my family, but I guess it's inevitable now. My true emotions were exposed without my consent, causing the smile on Eric's face to grow larger.
