Royal Academy

Tai put his tea cup down,"Kirie Manor is not famed for it's cherry blossoms but for it's irises.The irises are found in the far back of the Manor,near the grave stone of Kirie Kaneko,but is closed off until preparations for viewing is ready.This is usually done on bright and sunny days with calm breezes.Although,the irises the color of blue and pink are found frequently,it is the purple and red irises which are found very rarely and are said that only Kirie could grow the irises,so whenever one of the two are found,it is because Kirie's ghost has touched that spot",he explained,"Every morning the irises are watered and the gravestone are cleaned by hand...Kirie's favorite tea and snacks are also left on the gravestone.The workers also play a melody for Kirie,an old melody which had been her favorite since she was a child.".


Lilly looked at Kyomi carefully,"Are you dating Soul?",she questioned,"Someone is saying that they saw you two leaving the roof of the boy's dorm together".
 
Meroko smiled


"That's a lovely story. But I only got to the entrance of the Manor before some man came up and told me I couldn't go in because of maintenance. The iris sound beautiful." Meroko's mother piped up


"I remember when they were building that manor. It was always so loud and my daughter would complain and complain and they would send workers everyday to give her a gift basket. It was quite funny."


Kyomi rolled her eyes


"No of course not. I'm engaged to Chin Ho Lilly."
 
Reika smiled,"I remember having picnics there.Dont you remember Tai?", she asked,"Everyone was there, even Kyung".Tai nodded,"And Mika..", he mumbled quietly before looking up,"Kirie Manor is quite dear to me...you could say that Kirie had a strong impact on me".Tai's plate of food had already been emptied.


Lilly looked at Kyomi,"Yeah....but it's obvious that you like him."
 
Meroko smiled


"Then she must have been a lovely lady." She said before taking her final bite of food. Meroko's grandmother was still eating her food slowly.


Kyomi blushed and looked at her feet


"Yes...I do...." Chin Ho was listening at Kyomi's door. His heart sank when he heard that Kyomi didn't reciprocate his feelings.
 
Tai looked at his watch and frowned,"It's quite late...my friends could be expecting their food soon",he whispered to Reika who nodded


Lilly seemed suspicious before nodding her head and then looked at Kyomi's door and then back at Kyomi
 
Meroko's grandmother finished her food and smiled


"Well this has been lovely hasn't it? I guess we should head back so you two can get your rest for school."
 
Tai nodded,"Of course,I will go get the driver",he bowed towards Reika,before giving her money for the food and then picked up the huge box of takeout food.


Lilly nodded,"Mhm,sleep well",she smiled before turning and walking off
 
Meroko sighed


"Sobo anata wa taikyokuken ni mōsukoshi shinsetsuna koto o kideshou ka? Kare wa hontōni takusan, kono kakaria o kaishite okotte iru koto wa denai tokoro kare no tame no chōdodatta. Kare ni kyūkei o ataemasu." (Grandmother would you mind being a little more kind to Tai? He's really going through alot and this engagement was just out of no where for him. Give him a break. ) Meroko's grandmother rolled her eyes


" Ā shite kudasai. Kare ga seichō suru hitsuyō ga arimasu. Kare wa kare ga nozonde iru mono o te ni itsumo katamukeru. Kare wa kan shaku o nagete iru. Anata no oji wa chōdo kare no yō ni shiyō sa remasu. Kare wa fukurettsuradarou to monkuwoiu to, kare wa ikutsu ka no ippantekina on'nanoko to koi o shite itanode, kare wa wouldnt no mo, anata no oba nani ni hanasuga, watashi wa jikan to hōritsu o yokotawa~tsu" (Oh please. He needs to grow up. He cant always get what he wants. He's throwing a tantrum. Your uncle used to be just like him. He would pout and complain and he wouldnt even talk to your aunt Nani because he was in love with some common girl but I layed down the law with him and he gave up and accpeted the face that Nani was a wonderful girl and he loves Nani now.)
 
Tai put the food in the trunk and then the driver went to go get Meroko and her grandmother. His phone rang signalling that someone was calling him,without looking at the ID,he answered it. "Hi Love...",he whispered lovingly into his phone,leaning against the trunk of the limo,"How is the hospital treating you? Well,I hope...". He chuckled,"Ah...so your parents did tell you about the engagement",he frowned,"I'm sorry Love...",he was quiet for a moment,"Don't worry Love...I will see you soon,good night my sweet princess",he hung up and then turned. He opened the limo door for Meroko and her grandmother,while the driver went back to the driver's seat.
 
Meroko smiled


"Thank you Tai." She said as he got into the car with her grandmother.
 
Tai entered the limo and closed the door before calling Soul,"Ah...are you and Jung Hwa still up?What about the others?",he paused for a moment before nodding,"All right ,I have the food,you and Jung Hwa go tell the others and when I get back to the dorm,we can just set the food up and eat",he chuckled,"Ah ah...whatever,later",he then hung up.
 
Tai looked at her,"They're fine...Soul and Jung Hwa are currently thinking of Jung Hwa and Ai Min's wedding,planning the basic things such as music and whatnot"
 
Meroko smiled


"They're so happy together. And I hope to not be too forward, but I really do hope we could be like that someday Tai."
 
Tai shrugged,his expression not changing before the limo came to a stop,the limo door opened and Tai got out,opening the trunk and taking the takeout food out. He went to the door and bowed politely to Meroko and her grandmother,"Good night",he said before standing straight. Soul was in front of the gate and waved politely with his natural gentleman and charming smile,"Good night,have a good sleep",he then turned and began walking back to the dorm with Tai.
 
Meroko waved to Tai


"Sleep well!" She turned to her grandmother "Sobo anata wa hijō ni shitsurei kon'yadatta. Nanisore ga subetedeatta ​​?" (Grandmother you were very rude tonight. What was that all about?) Meroko's grandmother rolled her eyes.


"Dōyō ni watashi wa mae ni anata ni itta. Kare wa fukurettsurada. Kare wa seichō shi, anata o shitte shutoku suru hitsuyō ga arimasu. Soshite, watashi wa shōnen o shitte, kare wa chōrō ni shitsureina koto wanaideshou." (Like I told you before. He's pouting. He needs to grow up and get to know you. And I know the boy, he would never be rude to an elder. ) Meroko sighed and shook her head before kissing her grandmothers' cheek


"Hoteru ni modotte anzen'na tabi o motte iru. Yoku sobo ga nemuru." (Have a safe trip back to the hotel. Sleep well grandmother. )
 
"How was it?",Soul asked as Tai sighed. "Most painful two hours of my life",he stated,"I had to deal with my future grandmother in law and she hates Mika". Soul sighed and patted Tai's shoulder,"Well....not many grandmothers would approve of their future grandson-in-laws being madly in love with their first love". Tai shrugged,"Mika...is someone who truly understands me...but,why did my parents agree to this engagement if it is only if I love the person? As far as I am concerned,Fugiyama and I haven't spoken that much". Soul chuckled as he unlocked the dorm room and let Tai in,"Talk with your parents",he suggested as he closed the door behind them and Tai placed the food on the counter.
 
Meroko sighed as she walked into her dorm room. Kyung-Mi smiled at her


"How did it go?" Meroko shook her head


"He isn't even trying to get to know me....I feel like....I feel like that i'm trying to hard..." Kyung-Mi sighed


"Meroko maybe you should talk to Tai. We both know that he still has feelings for Mika. Tell him and just try to get him to open up to you." Meroko sighed


"I don't think it will work."
 
"So...tell us how it was",Jung Hwa smiled as he began eating his plate of food. Tai sighed and began talking about the day and when his finished,TingZhe commented. "Dude...sounds like a rough grandmother",TingZhe stated as the others nodded. There was a knock on the door and Victor got up,signaling that he would get the door
 
Victor opened the door and gave a confused look,"Kyung-Mi....girls aren't allowed in the boys dorm,why are you here?". TingZhe responded from the living room,"It's obvious that she going to give Tai the speech about how he should get over Mika and get to know Meroko and treat her like his fiancee". Victor made a look of realization,"Oh...",he then frowned and stepped out,closing the door behind him,"Kyung-Mi....you need to stay out of this whole engagement",he said with pleading eyes,"Tai is going through a rough time and so is Meroko,if you keep butting in like this,it's not going to help anyone. You can't force someone to love another and you can't force them out of love,whether they are engaged or not",Victor sighed and leaned against the door,"I understand that Meroko has romantic feelings for Tai...but,it isn't right for you to speak on her behalf nor is it fair that people tell Tai to get over Mika like that,she is his first love and Tai is still smitten by her. Whether he gets out of that phase is his choice not anyone else's".
 
Kyung-Mi smiled


"I was coming to tell Tai that Meroko says she's sorry about her grandmother. She was afraid to come herself because A: She didn't want to get in trouble. and B: She was afraid to come and talk to Tai herself. Please relay the message while I go talk my best friend out of calling her parents and calling off the engagement. Good Night." She nodded to Victor before walking away.
 
Victor walked back into the room and looked at the guys,"Where is Tai?". Soul and Jung Hwa pointed in the direction of Tai's room. "He is having a meeting with his parents",the two said at the same time
 
Meroko squeaked as Kyung-Mi snatched the phone out of her hand.


"Oh no you don't. You are not calling it off." Kyung-Mi said. Meroko sighed


"But Kyung-Mi he-"


"If you call it off, you will just have given the kid back his toy. He's throwing a tantrum-"


"You sound like a grandmother.."


"Your grandmother is right. Just stay strong Princess. Everything will be fine."
