Summer. Days full of sunshine and fun activities.
And that’s what you planned to do.
You decided to have a beach day along with the bidders and your group.
(Changing to 3rd person POV)
It was a wonderful sunny day, and they were all sitting in the penthouse lobby with no activities to do.
“How did we all end up having nothing to do?” Baba says as he leaned his head back into the couch.
“No idea, but we NEED to do something right now or else I’m gonna lose my mind!” Ota says in a whiny tone, but everyone agreed with his statement.
“What better to do on a hot summer day than go to the beach?” Baba suggests with a cheerful smile.
Mamoru was smoking by the window, rolling his eyes at the whining between those two babies.
Soryu was reading his book as he was not interested in planning a whole day outside with these guys. Eisuke was also focused on reading his newspaper, equally as inattentive in the conversation.
A few seconds later, Jenn comes out of the elevator and joins the bidders by sitting next to Soryu. “Hey everyone! Why the sudden meeting?” She says after placing a kiss on Soryu’s cheek.
“We just happened to be together by coincidence.” Soryu says with an annoyed sigh.
“We have nothing to do, Jenny! Please save us from our boredom!” Baba pleads with puppy eyes, which causes you to giggle softly.
She then stands up and places her hands together. “Well you’re in luck, because my friend and sisters have actually offered to have a beach day! I am here to invite you all!” After making that statement, everyone moves their eyes towards her as if she had saved the world.
“Your friend and sisters?! As in Gia, Rosalina, AND Aurora?” Ota asks as he looks towards Eisuke for his reaction. Jenn nods enthusiastically and Eisuke tries his best not to seem happy, further burying his face into his newspaper.
Ota noticing the reaction and feeling mischievous, he decides to tease Eisuke. “You hear that Eisuke? Aurora is gonna be there~” Eisuke clears his throat and looks up with a glare.
“Yes, I heard. And what does it have to do with me?” He scoffs and looks away with a small blush.
Fortunately, Jenn was busy looking at Soryu to see if he would agree. He looked hesitant, but seeing his partner’s face made him nod lightly. She beams and starts jumping up and down.
“Alright guys! I’ll meet up with you all here after packing my things!” She says happily and hurries along with Soryu following behind.
Since the bidders decided to join in, they had to travel in luxury vehicles provided by the King himself. They were separated into two groups: first group was Eisuke, Soryu, Jenn, Ota, and Aurora along with second group including Baba, MC, Gia, Rosalina, Mamoru. (Yes, for plot purposes.)
The second group was having fun, with Baba driving and Gia being in the passenger being the aux player. Rosalina was discussing her new projects with MC, while Mamoru was taking a quick nap.
“MC, I feel like you’d be the perfect model for one of my outfits!”
“No way.. I’m too shy to do that stuff..”
“How about I let you keep it afterwards then?”
In the first group, Soryu decided to drive while Jenn sat in the passenger side. In the second row was Eisuke and Aurora with Ota in the middle. He looked at both of them mischievously, then faced Aurora.
“Are you excited to go to the beach?” He asks in an innocent tone.
She nods happily. “Of course! I can’t wait to see the beautiful ocean and maybe even find a starfish!”
Eisuke looks out the window with a slightly irritated expression. He initially planned to have Aurora sit in the middle, but Ota had chosen that spot much to his dismay.
He steals a quick glance to Aurora and sees her smiling. Immediately turning red, he tilts his head back to the window, hoping the trip will be short.
As they approached the private beach provided by the billionaire due to concerns of privacy, everyone got their things out and started setting up for their fun day.
Jenn offered to put sunscreen on Soryu, who smiled gently at the request and allowed it. Teasing her about wanting to touch his body, she pouts and pokes him in the forehead.
Mamoru sat on his chair and opened a can of beer to sip on. Baba helped Rosalina with her sunscreen, admiring her red hair in the meantime.
Ota saw this as another opportunity to tease Eisuke, and grabbed the extra sunscreen as he headed towards Aurora who was standing in front of the ocean shore.
“Hey Aurora! Want me to help you with sunscreen?” He said loud enough for Eisuke to hear. She looked shocked at the sudden request and looked away for a second before nodding lightly.
Eisuke was enraged by this, but obviously he didn’t wanna admit jealousy since he hadn’t made a move yet. He decided today would be the day. His fist clenched, but he went and sat in his own chair calmly and stared out to the ocean.
Baba had seen everything, and so did Jenn. Giving each other a look, they nodded to each other to help Eisuke secretly in order to get them together.
“Jenn, why did YOU want to come to the beach anyways?”
She turns to Soryu who had asked the unexpected question.
“Well, me and Gia love to play a certain sport.” She replies proudly.
He tilts his head slightly, and Jenn turns over to Gia who already had the ball ready.
“Who wants to play volleyball?” Gia asks out loud as everyone turns towards her.
Everyone except Mamoru and Rosalina agreed to play. The teams were split into 4: Jenn, Soryu, Ota and MC against Gia, Aurora, Eisuke and Baba.
Gia throws the ball into the air and Jenn instantly bumps it back to the other side. Baba races over to toss it back, and Soryu hits it yet again to the other side.
After the teams were tied, they decided to play one more round. Jenn served the ball, which Aurora bumps. Ota spikes it harshly, and Aurora slides down and winces in pain.
“Aurora! Are you okay?” Eisuke immediately goes to her side. Her face was red from the impact of the ball, which Ota then started quickly apologizing for.
Eisuke gave him a quick glare then helped her up and walked her to his chair. Placing her down gently, he inspected her ankle. Jenn appeared behind them with an ice pack.
Aurora takes it and places it on her cheek. Ota rushes over and continues apologizing.
“I’m so so so so sorry! I didn’t think you were gonna do that!” Eisuke gives him a cold look, but Aurora smiles gently.
“It’s okay Ota, it’s not your fault. That was dumb of me to do.” She giggles softly, which causes Eisuke to blush lightly.
Jenn notices, and she gets an idea instantly. “Hey Eisuke, can you take care of my clumsy sister? We’ll start grilling some food in the meantime.”
He nods hesitantly, and Jenn rushes everyone away from them two. Aurora smiles at him then tilts her head towards the ocean.
“Sorry about this.. I didn’t mean to take you away from the fun.” She says softly.
“You actually did the opposite. I don’t know how much longer I can last with these guys.” Eisuke sighs, which causes Aurora to laugh loudly.
“I can say the same with my sisters. They’re too overprotective of me and never leave me alone with a guy.” Her eyes widen in realization and turns back to Eisuke then glances at the group.
They weren’t that far off, but they were far enough to be unable to hear their conversation. Jenn and Baba kept sneaking glances over, trying to see if their plan was working.
Eisuke looks between her and where she was looking, until he also realized what had just happened. Now was his chance.
He grabbed her hands gently, and looked deeply in her eyes. Taking a deep breath, he asked, “Will you be my girlfriend?”
Unexpectedly, Aurora rolled her eyes and smirked. “Finally, you asked! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this?” She leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips.
Surprised by the sudden action, he hesitated before kissing back and placing his hands on her face. After a moment, they heard clapping and pulled away instantly. The whole group was applauding at their special moment.
Eisuke looked at them then her. She stood up and grabbed his hand to lead him back to them. “How did you guys not end up mad?” He asked concerned that this was a joke.
“I had to convince them. Even Soryu had to convince Jenn.” He looked at Jenn, who shrugged and looked away sheepishly.
“I personally had no problem with you, but it was just hard to see my little sister grow up so fast.” Rose says with a slight huff. “But I guess the chemistry was clear to us.. and we couldn’t stop it from happening.”
Aurora and Eisuke looked at each other and smile in sync. They had finally realized their feelings for each other thanks to everyone else.
The entire group went to doing their own things in their own little gatherings, one including just Aurora and Eisuke. They walked around the ocean shore looking at the sand in the water. Eisuke finds a shell and gives it to Aurora, who happily accepts it.
“It’s no starfish, but it’s a reminder of this day forever.” He says with a gentle smile. She returns it, then places it in her pocket. They hear a loud splash, and turn to see Ota who was pushed into the water.
“Heyy what was that for?” Ota whined as he got back up. Jenn, who had been the criminal for the act, places her hand on her hips before responding, “For trying to ruin our plan!”
Everyone eventually joins in entering the ocean water, continuing their summer beach day.
This took me a loooong time to think up but I finished it! I proofread at least once and I hate taking so long on stories so here you go! I hope you enjoyed it! (Sorry for being so lazy with Mamoru, I really do love him-)
