"what's this?" grandmother kamiyama is shocked to see rie standing beside kiyohira. "why? she was dead?"

rie grins at her like a cheshire cat. "that was fake news."

grandmother kamiyama speaks after a long silence. "why are you here?"

"we got married. we came to get your blessings." kiyohira waves their marriage certificates. "i didn't want you to hear about the marriage from the media. i wonder if they are going to react the same way they did two years ago."

who can forget the scandal that came to the surface because of a certain hikikomori?

kiyohira is glad that they made that much noise. otherwise, he wouldn't have paid much attention to her.

grandmother kamiyama didn't think that he would take such action even in her dreams. she loses the strength in her body. kiyohira holds her before she can drop to the floor.

"you should have fed me poison first." she bellows. "how could you do the same thing that your father did?"

it probably runs in his blood.

kiyohira knows well that he can't soothe his grandmother if he says the truth. he understands why his father did what he did. he doesn't want to comment on kamiyama hitomi, but his father did love that woman.

takeshi comes out of the room when he hears the drama. he is surprised to see rie. what has happened? his brother has warned him to keep quiet that she didn't die then. seeing his grandmother's reaction and the certificate in his elder brother's hand, he gets the gist of the situation.

finally, he can also take action. now that his brother is married, he can go forward in his relationship. he plans to get married to her as soon as they graduate from college.

he goes to rie. he has thought of her as his sister once. she's cool and nice.

"sister in law." he takes her hands. "can we play video games now?"

rie is startled when she is addressed like that. after collecting her calm, she snorts. "why not?"

"come with me then." takeshi ignores his brother's glares and takes away his sister-in-law from the scene.

grandmother kamiyama's eyes follow her youngest grandson and the girl who leave without a second glance at her. she's speechless. she glances at her elder grandson. "see, what kind of woman you married? she has no respect for me."

"she's just shy." kiyohira helps her sit on the couch. "grandmother, don't you want a great-grandchild playing on your lap? your health isn't good. we can't keep fighting about what kind of woman is right for me and delay it. i will work hard and give you a great-grandchild soon."

"..."

grandmother gawks at him. her grandson is trying to bribe her with a great-grandchild. he rejected all the women for years and now, he is talking about her health and how he should work hard to great-grandchild. he makes it sound like he is doing it for her.

kiyohira knows that he has to work hard a lot. making her love him back won't be an easy task. so, he decides to ask for some tips from his grandmother. his father is dead. he can't ask him. "how did you fall in love with the grandfather?"

his grandmother wrinkles her brows. is he alright? why is he asking her strange questions? she wants to scold him. when she sees the eagerness in his eyes, she can't find the strength to scold him or become angry.

"i met him on my wedding day." she tells him quietly, "he told me that he fell in love with me at first sight. it was natural to fall in love with him. your grandfather... he was quite charming like you are."

she blushes when she recalls those sweet days of her marriage. she forgets that her grandson's marriage.

kiyohira sighs. if looks were enough for his woman, she would have fallen in love with him a long time ago. his rie is not an ordinary woman who would fall for looks. she might sleep with him for his looks, but she won't give her heart away.

he wonders why did he say that he won't do it with her before she loves him back.

it will be difficult.

sigh!

he hopes that she tries to seduce him.

"i will cook dinner tonight." he walks away from his grandmother with deep lines on his forehead. "i wonder what she will like. she only ate ramen back then."

he should become the best husband for her.

after he's gone, grandmother kamiyama realizes that she has forgotten about the important matter. she grabs her head. how will she explain this to chisa's family?

speak of the devil!

she receives a call from the hashimoto family. after a long hesitating moment, she picks up the call.

***

"sister-in-law, you are awesome. i am glad that you married him."

"takeshi, you accepted me easily as your sister back then. you are also accepting this marriage between me and your brother." rie looks at him with a puzzled expression. "are you usually this adaptable?"

"if you couldn't remain as my stepsister, it's good that you became my sister-in-law." takeshi has a sly smile on his lips. "even if you were my stepsister, i wouldn't mind if you had become my sister-in-law. my brother has only been in love with you. kamiyama men cannot forget their first love."

kamiyama shintaro. kamiyama kiyohira. kamiyama takeshi.

"who's your first love?" she asks him curiously.

"you have met her already. since my brother is no longer a bachelor, she will give up all hopes now. thank you for marrying my brother. it makes my love life easier."

iori has a long-time crush on kiyohira. even after hearing the news of the engagement, she has been hoping that the engagement would break and kiyohira would remain single forever. her crush on kiyohira is similar to the fangirls love for their idols. nevertheless, it's been annoying takeshi a lot. the idol is still his brother.

"..."

takeshi is not as innocent as she thought him to be.
