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
Ah, New Year Is Really Coming
"Hurm... It's strange."
"What's wrong, my love?"
Kyoya saw Shouko coming out of Yuuya's room with a dazed expression. He walked over to her in steady steps.
Shouko lifted up her eyes to look at her husband. She said, "Yuuya isn't in his room. It's still early. Where could he have been?"
It was only half-past seven. The morning had just started but the little guy was nowhere to be found. Even so, his bed was tidied up properly.
"He must have woken up early because he slept enough last night," Kyoya concluded, "Let's go downstairs. Old Toshio or the other maids might see him."
Shouko nodded. Her husband's guess was plausible.
The husband and wife descended the stairs. The mansion was filled with tranquility as the employees worked as quietly as they could. Today was the last day of them working. Tomorrow, they would return to their hometowns for the incoming New Year and wouldn't come back until the fourth day.
