'Is she treating her crush like a dog?' Kaede can't help feel a slight s.h.i.+ver.

"So, base on Pavlovian theory, I will create a condition to trigger him to remember me. For starters, I figured he loves sweet food. So, I will make sure he thinks of me every time he is having his desert. Then, I will a.s.sociate everything about me with yellow colour as I figure his building mostly are designed with yellow. Can you imagine every time he is entering his building he instantly remembers me unconsciously? Isn't it sweet?" Again she portrayed another sweet charming smile.

The room turns silence after hearing her plan. They glance at each other with awe. They prayed really hard for Touma, hoping he will be okay. No human being is capable to come up with this kind of manipulative ways to find love. A normal human being will use more compa.s.sionate ways like flowers, date, conversation and so on.

" Sweet your a.s.s! You are so wicked!" Keito swears to her little sister. She is totally crazy beyond saving.

"Thank you for your compliment second brother. You always understand me the best!" she replies by taunting Keito back. She sticks out her tongue and laughs cheekily.

"I already have his permission to contact him every day. I will not miss any opportunity to make him fall for me. Wish me luck, everyone." now she put a humble smile appear meek for everyone.

"You don't even need luck." Keito brushes her off with his sharp reply. Everyone unconsciously nods agreeing with Keito. Her eyes almost pop out seeing everyone nod synchronically. She didn't believe they thought the same and she really needs any luck she could grab. Her future husband is not easily manipulated.

" Kahina, whatever your plan is, please consider our family position, okay?" Takio reminds her softly. He knows Kahina will never do anything that will bring harm to the family but it is his duty to remind her as she tends to do thing excessively.

"Yes, father. I will do that," she a.s.sures her father seriously. She understands her position as the third daughter of the family.

"Now tell us about your plan for Hotta Inc and Fivon Corp in the next quarter" Kaede back to ask her about business. He is the CEO of Hotta Inc while Fivon Corp being lead by Keito. These companies are originally Kahina's idea after she reviewed the family financial state. After the power of Yakuza deteriorate slowly as time goes by, she purposely intended to legalize their financial source to make sure their foot will never lose. Today, people are not depending on strength anymore but more dependable with intelligence. Most of the yakuza group lost their power because they lack financial support. Who wants to join the group that couldn't provide their underlings with a.s.surance. Money is really important nowadays. People with money can differ the law and control it as they see fit. The power of money is impossible to be denied.

"We will launch a new campaign next month to raise awareness of the product for Hotta Inc but for Fivon Corp, we might need to review back our price for summer break and I'll introduce new price package to target new customer." She already finishes all the paperwork for the companies and she intended to submit it to her brothers today.

"Stop talking business on the table. You know the rules." her mother sternly reminds them about the rule she comes up. She really doesn't like them to talk about business when they eat together. They often busy on a daily basis, and the only time they can spend together is either breakfast and dinner, seldom lunch.

"Sorry, mother," they answer harmoniously. Then, they continue to chat about their lives and sometimes bantering with each other. Their laugh continues while they finish their lunch. The ambience always warms the environment portrayed their love for each other. Anyone witness it will question their yakuza background. Aomi and Takio felt really bless being surrounded by their children.

Tokyo University Hospital

Touma wakes up early in the morning after insisting to be discharged. He couldn't continue to stay in the hospital anymore. He felt really restless after his meeting with Kahina last night. He wrecks his brain to try to understand Kahina intention yesterday. He can't let anyone take advantages of him without any consequences even though the person is his so-called saviour. At least he must be prepared. He urges Ando to finish pack his thing, suddenly he heard knocking from the door.

Someone is coming after he sounded his permission. " Young Master, someone come to deliver you this." He hands over a yellow box to him." Ando immediately grabs the box before he could grab it. After a few inspections by Ando, he gives the box to Touma.

"From Miss Hinode," he informed Touma and continue to finish packing Touma's stuff. Touma slowly observes the box. The box is fit perfectly with his palm. It is a simple s.h.i.+ning yellow box. On top of the box is written a simple note.

'To my sweet Touma, I hope your day will be as sweet as this chocolate. Sincerely, Kahina."

He lips curls up a bit before back to his expressionless face. 'Since when we go to first name basis?' he mumbled softly before taking the chocolate to his mouth. It melts in his mouth give him the sweet hazelnut taste with small chunky hazelnut to add more texture. The bite-size chocolate is enough to start his day with a good feeling. He feels really energize and happy. Still, all this emotion only been concealed inside and never shows on his face.

The small gesture as it is didn't alarm Touma at all. He thought it is only natural for Kahina to give him this after she confessed yesterday. He can't help to feel appreciated. Little did he know the small box is a trap for his heart. The trap that binds him with her.

He reaches his phone looking for Kahina contact number and sent her a text message.

'Thank you. Hope your day as sweet as mine.'

He promised himself he is not gonna lose this game. He plays by ear and observes how far Kahina willing to play. He will make sure the sweetness of victory will be his to savour.
