Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7 — “A Bad Day… Or Something More?”

That day—

Haruto Kiyosaki returned to the hotel he was staying in.

But even after coming back…

He couldn't get over it.

The embarrassment.

The incident.

That girl.

---

😤 The Thought That Wouldn't Leave

"…A frog…"

He lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

"…She called me a frog…"

He shut his eyes tightly.

He wanted to forget it.

Really.

But no matter how much he tried—

He just couldn't.

---

💼 His Escape: Work

So he did what he always did.

He chose work.

Because for Haruto Kiyosaki, nothing mattered more than work.

---

He was the co-founder of TnF — TrueNorth Fusion 🎮

A rising game development company.

And right now—

He was in New York for something important.

A contract.

With RCM's Investment & Strategic Partnerships Division.

---

RCM was a reputed multinational corporation with multiple branches across the world.

And this particular branch specialized in:

Investing in tech startups

Supporting global expansion

Partnering with innovative companies

---

Haruto didn't lack money.

He could arrange funds anytime.

But this—

This wasn't about money.

This was about recognition.

✨ Global recognition. ✨

And RCM could give him that.

---

He had come fully prepared—

With:

His team

And his personal assistant

---

🍽 Late Night Meeting

It was already dinner time.

But instead of resting—

Haruto called everyone to his room.

"Meeting. Now."

---

Outside—

His employees whispered among themselves.

"What happened to him?"

"Why a meeting this late?"

One sighed—

"Don't you know how much he loves work?"

Another joked—

"The day he stops caring about work, I'll leave this company."

The PA raised an eyebrow.

"Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Another replied—

"Yeah, we won't have to work."

The same guy shook his head seriously—

"No. If that happens… our boss has become a clown 🤡."

---

Everyone stared at him.

Then together—

"You should leave the company." 😒😂

"Better go to a mental hospital."

"Your jokes are older than you."

---

😑 Caught Red-Handed

Suddenly—

Haruto's voice came from inside.

"Are you even listening to what I just said?"

Silence.

Complete silence.

---

Haruto looked at them, clearly annoyed.

Then said coldly—

"Fine."

"No one gets dinner until this meeting is over." 😑

---

"BOSSSSS NOOOO 😭"

---

He sighed.

"Okay, okay—fine."

"Go. Go eat."

"That's all you people care about anyway."

---

Everyone ran away happily 😂

---

📱 The "Loyal" Assistant

Only one person stayed behind.

His personal assistant.

---

Haruto looked at him.

"You're not going?"

The assistant stood straight.

"Boss, I am very loyal."

Haruto nodded slightly.

(Thinking: finally, someone serious…)

---

Before he could say anything—

The assistant added:

"…to my phone."

---

Haruto blinked.

"…What?"

The assistant pointed.

"You're using my phone for the presentation."

---

Silence.

---

Haruto's expression slowly changed.

From tired—

To irritated—

To completely done.

---

"Get. Out."

The assistant made a dramatic crying face.

"My… my phone…"

---

"TAKE IT AND GET LOST!!"

---

The assistant grabbed his phone and ran 😂

---

😩 Alone Again

Haruto took a deep breath.

Sat down.

Ran his hand through his hair.

---

"…Looks like I'll never forget this incident in my life."

Pause.

"…Forget it."

---

Then suddenly—

"Oh wait—food."

---

He muttered—

"I'll order something better than what those idiots are eating." 😒

---

Then added—

"They're so irritating… I should reduce their bonus this month."

Then quietly—

He looked up.

---

"God… please…" 🙏🏻

"…don't let me meet that girl again."

"Please." 🙏🏻

---

🌸 Meanwhile… Miyako

At the same time—

Miyako Yukishiro was at home.

Resting.

---

And suddenly—

She started laughing.

Softly.

---

"…Frog…" 😂

---

Her phone rang.

She picked it up immediately.

---

"Hello babe—"

---

On the other side—

Her best friend.

👉 Reina Hoshino ⚖✨ (lawyer, chaotic bestie)

---

Reina: "Gossip?" 😏

"My favorite thing. Tell me."

---

Miyako grinned.

"I have something interesting today."

---

Reina gasped dramatically—

"Did you fall somewhere…"

"…or fall for someone?" 😘

---

"None."

Pause.

"…but someone DID fall." 😏

---

And then—

She told everything.

---

Both burst out laughing 🤣🤣

After laughing—

Reina said—

"Hey Miya…"

"I'm coming to New York."

---

Miyako sat up instantly.

"REALLY?! I LOVE YOU 😭💖"

---

"Love you too."

Then Reina added—

"But I'm not coming alone."

---

Miyako smirked.

"Ohhh… your boyfriend?" 😏

---

Reina nodded.

👉 Akira Kurose ⚖😏

---

Miyako laughed.

"I've only seen him online—this is going to be fun."

---

Reina sighed playfully.

"I'm actually scared."

"Even without meeting, you two argue…"

"…what will happen when you meet face to face?"

---

Miyako laughed loudly 😂

"We'll see!"

---

Then she asked—

"But he doesn't like traveling abroad… why now?"

---

Reina replied—

"He didn't come for travel."

"His best friend is in New York right now for some business work…"

"And he needed legal help."

---

"So he called Akira."

---

Miyako nodded slowly.

"Ohhh… so that's why."

---

Reina continued—

"All of us live in Japan…"

"It's just that this time, work brought him there."

---

Miyako smiled.

"Good for me then 😌💖"

---

Reina laughed.

"Selfish."

---

Miyako replied proudly—

"Very." 😏😂

---

They talked a little more…

Laughed…

Teased each other…

---

And finally—

Fell asleep.

---

✨ Ending Line

One prayed never to meet again.

One laughed remembering him.

---

And fate?

It was already planning their next meeting 😏
