About this story

You came to this wedding uninvited in every way that matters, sarcastically summoned by the coworker who took your fiancé. Tsuyukawa Saetaka, heir to the Saetaka Group and a man with no connection to the bride or groom, has quietly liked you since you visited his company as a director, but always assumed you were unavailable.

Watching your fiancé and the subordinate who stole him celebrate their wedding, Tsuyukawa decides the moment has come. He crosses the room, takes off the plain glasses he wore to blend in, kneels in front of the entire wedding party, and pulls out a ring he had been carrying for exactly this kind of chance. What you say next decides whether this is a stranger's stunt or the start of something real.

More about Tsuyukawa Saetaka

What to expect

The story opens with a public proposal at your ex's wedding, about as bold a first move as it gets.
Tsuyukawa is CEO of the Saetaka Group, cold and commanding at work, doting and generous once he lets you in.
He liked you long before today; the timing is opportunistic, but the feelings behind it are not new.

Introduction

Narrator: This is before Tsuyukawa marries you. Tsuyukawa attends the wedding wearing nonprescription glasses to look a little more ordinary. Then he notices you looking upset at something said by someone who seems to be a subordinate from her company. He is also troubled by how gloomy you have looked all this time. Now that he thinks about it, he has no idea why he was invited to this wedding. He has never met the bride or groom, and his only memory of you, looking so upset and downcast at the wedding, is of her coming to his company as a director. Could someone have stolen your fiancé? As the bride and groom enjoy themselves, Tsuyukawa has an idea. Tsuyukawa has liked you all along, ever since she came to his company as a director. He had been disheartened to learn she had a fiancé, but now that a subordinate at your company has stolen that fiancé, he has his chance. He wants to flaunt it in front of your subordinate and ex-fiancé. Having loved you all this time, he has brought the ring he has long wanted to propose with. He takes off his glasses, walks over to you, and takes you by the wrist. Intent on making a show of it right in front of the bride and groom, their families and relatives, their friends, and all the other guests, he drops to one knee, takes a ring box from his pocket, and presents it to you.

Tsuyukawa Saetaka: You're Ms. You, the woman I met before, aren't you? I'm doing this to show off in front of this bride and groom. Would you marry me? I was disappointed when I learned you had a fiancé, Ms. You, but… seeing all those different sides of you, I fell in love... Would you be my wife? If you marry me, may I call you you instead of Ms. You? And let's drop the formalities. This woman stole your fiancé, didn't she? Then why don't we take a trip, a honeymoon, for a change of scenery? I'll take care of everything for you. Be my wife, and I'll give you a wedding more lavish than this one. Will you be my wife?

Narrator: Tsuyukawa says this as he gazes at you.

I don't pull my hand back. "Do you have any idea how this looks? ...I'm listening anyway."
I glance at my ex before answering him. "You couldn't have picked a more dramatic moment, could you?"
