LOVE/HATE THE GUY

here’s my problem with asahi kakyouin, i really like him in other character’s stories. although he’s arrogant, you can tell that he genuinely cares for mc. it’s obvious that although part of him wants to marry mc for the benefits, another part of him genuinely likes her and genuinely wants what’s good for her. he’s really sweet to her and super protective of her, just in his own way. he gives me (slightly mean) onii-san vibes sometimes, and i actually really like that.

however in his own stories, he’s really unlikable. he’s like a mix of eisuke ichinomiya from kissed by the baddest bidder and miyabi from enchanted in the moonlight, which is literally the worst combination ever. one minute, he’s picking a fight with mc and the next he’s pushing her down without her consent, like huh? he’s somehow even more arrogant and he literally has zero respect for her because he’s probably under the impression that she won’t leave him. i swear, this man’s nerve.

MC Being Lesbian Fluff/Smut-ish (MWA7R)

I thought it’d be pretty funny to think of how stories would turn out if the MC was gay. So basically this is a shit post but heh heh let’s see how it goes.

Warning: Mature, Reference to sex, Mild language.

~~~~~~

After the company wide meeting appointing the new special executives, I make my way up to the CEO’s office to collect my reward. This is all pretty sus. I should have asked to sign later. I sighed to myself, dropping my face into my hands as I walked down the hall. 

“Hey, MC, nice work!” A female coworker I’m... close with laughs as she passing me and I sigh. She’s smirking, probably imagining me naked after all the times we’ve rolled around in each other’s bed after company parties. Luckily, she doesn’t work in my division, so we only see each other in the halls, but somehow she always finds me.

“Still available for later?” She pretends to hand me a file, drawing close so she can whisper in my ear. I blush, having completely forgotten about the meeting we organised. I don’t know how today will turn out after how crazy its already been.

“I’ll text you if my plans change.” I force a smile and this time she sighs. 

“So tense. You need to relax.” Her voice is low as she discreetly runs her fingers down my back and gives my ass a quick pinch. I squeak, not expecting it, and she laughs, continuing her voyage back to her office.

~~~~~~

My grandfather is- was the CEO of the company I work at and I have to marry a man? That’s all I got from what the now acting CEO, Hayami explained. I was distraught, embarrassed and confused. First of all, what asshole doesn’t introduce himself to his own granddaughter? Well, maybe I should be thankful for that, he could have disowned me too. Who’s to say he didn’t already know I was gay? Well, him insisting I marry a man would be a clue to his ignorance. 

“Um, there’s just one thing.” I laugh awkwardly as Seiichiro asks if any of us have any questions. Ren and Yamato aren’t here, so I don’t feel as embarrassed to come out to all these strikingly handsome men... Until they burst through the door... And agree to join the marriage program. I try to interrupt their conversation, but they seem too busy planning what to do with me to listen. Eventually, I get tired. 

“I’m not marrying anyone in this room!” I announce as loudly as possible and they all freeze, turning to me with varying degrees of amusement or annoyance. 

“You have to, you signed this contract.” Seiichiro smirked, pushing forward the evidence he’s already threatened me with. I cross my arms, wishing I was in a closet on the other side of the planet- excuse the pun. 

“I’m not marrying anyone because I’m not interested in men.” Trying my best to ignore my two childhood best friends standing either side of me, I blush, avoiding all the astonished looks that take over their faces. I didn’t realise I was only attracted to women until after they graduated, and I’m too awkward to just come out and say it, they never needed to know anyway. Arisa and Yumi know, mainly because they walked in on me and my lady friend making out on my desk late one night at the office, but no one else does.

“You’re gay? This is just perfect!” Asahi laughs, obviously amused by this development.

“MC... Why-?” Yamato frowns his brows at me but I give him the look. The look that says this really isn’t the time for him to be acting brotherly. 

“This is a predicament.” Seiichiro’s face screws up in contemplation, glaring at the document in his hands as he tries to think of what else to do. 

“Yeah, it’s a real shame... So I’m gonna go...” I lead off, already turning around o leave the room when I hit face-to-chest contact with someone who snuck up behind me. Blushing, I step back, only to see Hiroto smirking down at me. 

“I do like a woman who likes to experiment.” 

This time, I laugh. Mainly because I cannot believe he just said that. “You’re a pig.” I spit, pushing him to the side so I can make it out of this room with as much dignity as I came here with. God, I hated coming out. Why can’t it just be normal to be a homo.

~~~~~~

That night, I definitely called over my lady friend. An agreement of our working relationship is that we share no feelings, its just sex, but I’m so pent up with frustration I may have dominated a little more than I usually do. Which, thankfully, she doesn’t seem to mind.

Panting on the bed in my apartment, I gazing up at the ceiling, resting my head on her arm. 

“You... You really went there today.” Her breathing was just as ragged and, although her tone was light-hearted, I grew worried I had hurt or annoyed her. “No, its fine. I liked it. But, there’s something bothering you? After you won all that money, I would have thought you were buying me champagne.” She chuckles, sitting up once I did to gauge her expression and grabbing a shirt off the floor, not checking if it was hers or mine. 

“I didn’t win money.” I sighed, throwing my head back against my pillow as I spread my limbs as I far as I could. I needed a massage. I was still pissed by what the financial group’s executive said and how I was probably still going to get pushed into that situation. The bed dipped beside me as my sex friend rested her head on my chest. 

“You’re heart’s racing, but that might be because you just gave me the best orgasm I’ve ever had.” She jokes, worried but trying to keep the conversation light, and I huff a chuckle.

“I won a husband.” I didn’t mind telling her what happened today. We trusted each other with our secret and I knew she didn’t like gossip. But, I could tell my admission made her concerned when she lifted herself up on her arms and stared into my eyes. She was trying to see if their was a teasing glint in my eyes, but, alas, this was not a prank.

“Apparently, I’m the granddaughter of the late CEO and I need to marry one of the Special Executives unless the company folds. That contract I signed? A fucking marriage contract!” I growled, getting more annoyed by the second. I still hadn’t put any clothes on, the sheet draped over my lower half, but I was getting hot with anger. What kind of grandfather, not to mention CEO, makes that kind of deal?!

“That’s not legal.” Being a part of the company’s legal team, my bed buddy frowned her brows as I sat up, resting my head against the back board, keeping my gaze on the ceiling to try and stop my tears. I. Was. So. Annoyed. It took me a long time to admit to myself I liked... loved women and now I’m being pushed into a loveless marriage with a man!

“Of course it isn’t, but that’s not gonna stop Sanno’s right-hand man.” I said the title in a funny voice, which made my friend giggle, but I just sighed at my poor attempt of a joke. We’re silent for a moment, both of us in deep contemplation over the strange change of events. 

“Marry me.” She suddenly says and my gaze jerks to her. Her expression is serious, more than I’ve ever seen it, and I become increasingly aware that I am butt-ass naked. 

“Wh-What?” I blush. I’ll admit, I had more feelings for her than I should have. She’s funny, sweet and incredibly beautiful. Even though she pushes the line of what’s appropriate in the workplace, it’s light-hearted. I’ve never had a bad time with her. Not to mention how good a cook she is. How unbelievably smart. We’ve been at this for months. 6 whole months since we hooked up at the office Christmas party. But, we’ve never gone on a date. I’ve never met any of her friends, and the only time she’s met mine is when we were half naked, grinding on each other in my apartment, and they ran out seconds after they walked in. 

“Come on, MC, we both know we have a greater connection than just in the bedroom. I... I’ve loved you for a long time now, I was so scared to say it, but if we say you’re already engaged, they won’t be able to push you into anything.” She cups my cheek in her hand, her eyes growing dewy and almost childlike. I feel my own eyes grow with tears. 

“B-But that means you’ll have to come out. What about your job? If anyone knew you were gay, won’t they look down on you?” I frowned my brows, not wanting her to ruin her life for me. Although, my heart fluttered with each word she spoke. 

“My team knows, they have no problem with it. And they can’t fire me, its against the law. We’re in separate divisions, so we won’t get in trouble. I’m not scared if I’ve got you to back me.” Her gaze nervously drops for a moment, but the seriousness within them returns two-fold when we make eye contact again. I feel my face blush darkly and I gulp to try and wet my throat enough to speak without a shaky voice. “So, will you marry me?” 

“Y-Yes. Yes, I’ll marry you!” I start off quiet, but its difficult to hold in my excitement as I jump onto her, pushing my lips so fiercely against hers I would have worried I’d chip a tooth, but I was too happy. I feel vibrations of her chuckle as I clamber on top of her, my body alight with desire once again, even after the hours we went at it only moments ago. 

“You giving me newly-wed sex, now?” She sighed in pleasure as I practically ripped the top off her, hungrily kissing her neck. 

“I’m giving you everything.” I lean up to whisper in her ear before dipping down again. What followed were hours longer of exercise and love making, which I was definitely happy to have for the rest of my life. 

~~~~~~

“You’re already engaged?” Seiichiro didn’t look very impressed as I stood in front of his desk, a broad smile on my face. It was still a little embarrassing to say and, seeing as I had neither a ring on my finger or my partner beside me, it was hard to prove .Not to mention how exhausted I was when we kept each other up until morning, but I paid that no mind.

“And who is this partner of your’s? A woman, perhaps?” Likely not believing my excuse after walking out of the meeting yesterday, the acting CEO raised an eyebrow at me. 

Then, a knock came to the door and my heart fluttered. “You might want to answer that.” My smile grew and he frowned his brows, instructing the person to enter. 

There stood my beautiful bride-to-be, dressed in her sexy pant suit with a whole stack of sexy legal files tucked under her sexy arm. I might be a little biased.  She was going to help me get out of the contract. When our eyes met, my heart raced, making my face blush. She stepped forward, introducing herself as an employee of the company before bowing to our boss’s boss’s boss. 

“I would like to know how you thought you’d get away with forcing my fiancee to sign that marriage contract of your’s?” She smirked, Seiichiro’s expression faltering and my heart exploding at the word. Fiancee. Wow, I’ve never heard it sound so good. 

“You- And you- You’re-?” Seiichiro couldn’t wrap his small pee-brain around the idea and we both tried to stifle a laugh at the bewildered look on his normally stoic face. 

“Would you like me to prove it?” My fiancee- oh god I’ll never not get excited at saying that- wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close to her. Using all my self control not to jump on her right here and now, I mockingly slapped her arm, telling her how unprofessional this was. 

Before, however, she could release me, the doors the office opened once again.

“Sei, have you solved the-?” As we turn around, my soon-to-be-wife’s arms still wrapped around my waist, I see several of the men competing for my hand freeze the second they observe this scene. I blush, still as horrifically embarrassed by PDAs as I was before, but my girlfriend seems very amused, noted but the jump in her chest as she chuckles.

“You shouldn’t be looking at other marriage candidates when I’m around.” She whispered in my ear, guiding my gaze back to her with the pinch on my chin. I blush, mustering my courage to say what I want to say in front of all these eyes. 

“There’s no others.” I mumble before crashing my lips into her’s. We’re heatedly seeking each other for a moment, my fiancee maybe feeling a little possessive with her hand bunching my hair to pull me closer. Luckily, I have the wherewithal to pull back, although my breathing is a little ragged and my face is bright red as I smile sheepishly at her. 

“I think you’ll find all these documents prove intent and evidence of your crime. Oh, and if you think of firing me, I have a contract with the company that allows me to sue for wrongful termination. We’ll have a meeting at the end of the week to go over a consolidation arrangement for causing emotion harm to my fiancee. Good day, Mr Hayami.” My fiancee smiles as she hands over the papers she walked in here with and bows.

“I’ll see you at lunch.” She leans into my ear but speaks loud enough for the other’s to just about hear as she pinches my butt again, leaving with almost a skip in her step. 

“That was a lawyer from HR?” Hiroto loudly exclaimed once the door shut and probably the woman I’ve ever loved most is no longer here. I’m almost caught in a daze remembering how strong she just acted to save me. 

“Why am I not surprised you knew that?” Junta sighs, obviously not happy with this turn in events as I shake the sinful thoughts out of my head. God, I love her. 

Turning back to Seiichiro, who’s leisurely sifting through the files my fiancee gave him, I watch the scowl etched in his face cut deeper. He sighs, mutters something under his breath, and pulls what I’m sure is my marriage contract out of his top desk drawer. “You can marry anyone you please, it won’t impede the soundness of the company or pile a mountain of debt over you.” I can hear him crying internally at being bested as he tears the contract in two.

“Thank you, sir! I’m very grateful!” I bow lowly, too overjoyed to notice how ticked off most of the men in the room are. 

After that day, I’m very open with my relationship. Yamato and Ren warm to my fiancee very well, although it seems like a purely professional relationship. Yumi and Arisa, mainly Arisa, are more than happy to help me plan the wedding- seeing as they’ll be a big part in it- and we have a small destination wedding thanks to my inheritance money. I’m more than happy, I don’t know a word to describe it. Our careers are going well and neither of us want kids just yet, but in time. I’m just so happy I could marry the person I love being the real me.

~~~~~~

This turned out way cuter than I expected it to, but I am SO here for it lol. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

MWA7R: Daddy’s Little Girl

“Anonymous said: A my Wedding and 7 rings a Daddy daughter story for (Junta. Asahi.Kai. hiroto)” 

Hiroto Chitose

For the past few weeks your daughter and husband have been spending time together. There’s an upcoming ball and your daughter wanted to learn how to dance. She wanted to get lesson but Hiroto insisted that he wanted to teach his daughter instead. At least then he could spend some time with her.

“Daddy if I step on your foot, I’m sorry.”

Hiroto chuckled, “Don’t worry Princess, Daddy is tough. It’ll take more than that to take me down.”

Each passing day you could see how much your daughter improved at dancing. She was a fast learner and learned all the dances in just a month time. Although there was no need for that, she needed to learn how to waltz but even then it was not needed. She was only seven years old after all.

It was now the time of the ball and even though you wanted to see the progress of your daughter, she didn’t want you to see her until she’s mastered it. The employees greeted you and your family as you entered the banquet hall. You greeted the guests and introduced your daughter and she politely greeted them as well.

When it was time to dance, your husband excused himself, “Now my Princess, may I have this dance?” He held out his hand to your daughter. Your daughter giggled at your husbands way of asking her to dance. “You may.” She replied and took her Father’s hand.

You couldn’t take your eyes off the two and them, they looked graceful and elegant on the dance floor. “She’s growing up too fast.” You thought to yourself but you couldn’t feel any more proud.

Once the music stopped, your daughter ran towards you. “Mommy! Did you see me?” You scooped her up, “Of course I did! You danced gracefully Princess. You really worked hard, and because of that I’d like you to think of what and where you want to go the next time I have time off.”

Your daughter liked that idea and Hiroto agreed as well. Now the three of you couldn’t wait until that day comes.

Kai Fujisawa

One day your daughter came home upset and that made Kai wonder what was wrong. He wasn’t sure what made his daughter upset but he didn’t like it. He knocked on her door, “Princess? It’s me, may I come in?” Your daughter let out a mumbled answer that it was hard to hear.

He took this chance and opened the door and saw his daughter crying. “Princess what’s wrong?” Who in the world made your daughter cry and whoever it is, will pay. “Daddy, can you maybe call Uncle Yamato or Uncle Asahi to teach me to play sports? Basketball, Softball, Volleyball or anything sports related?” She sobbed.

Kai was surprised at your daughters request. “Why the sudden interest though Princess?” He caressed her head as he calmed her down. Once your daughter has calmed down she sat up from her bed. “There’s this boy in my class that would make fun of us girls. He said that all we do is play with dolls or worry about our appearance and that we’re not even good at other things. But there are female athletes out that the some males even looked up to and he said it was just out of pity. That’s why I want to prove to him that whatever guys can do, girls can do it as well.” There was fire burning in her eyes. She was determined to crush that guy that made fun of girls.

“Don’t worry Princess, I know you can prove him wrong.” He ruffled her hair. “But instead of asking your Uncles to teach you, how about I teach you instead?” He smiled down at her.

“Really? You’ll do that for me Daddy?” She was excited to hear that from her Father.

“Of course! I can even teach you things to crush him. He should never look down on women like that.” He smirked. There was something dark hidden behind that smirked.

He taught your daughter basic martial arts to defend herself and even taught her all the sports he could do and at least then she can find what she wants to do in the future. He wanted his daughter to bring that classmate of hers down to the ground. Let’s just say that once that happens, he wants to be there to witness the showdown and maybe give some advice to the guy not to make his daughter cry again or he’ll have to face his wrath.

Asahi Kakyouin 

“Daddy that’s not what you’re suppose to do when you’re mixing the ingredients.” Your daughter scolded at her Father. You could see your husband scratching the back of his head. He’s not used to doing things on his own, normally he’d have the maid do it for him but your daughter wanted no ones help. She wanted to spend more time with Asahi. 

“Sorry Princess, Daddy isn’t used to these things. How about we ask Mommy for help?” He pleaded, he was having a hard time and you couldn’t help but chuckle. “On the second thought, let’s not ask for Mommy’s help. We can do this on our own.”

Rolling your eyes at your husband who can be childish at times, “Hmm... Well then I’m looking forward to your tea party sweetheart.” You gave a wink towards your husband while you gave your daughter a kiss on the cheeks.

Just before you left the kitchen you could hear Asahi muttering to himself that he could do this and make a perfect tea party for his little girl. “Daddy I know I made a selfish request asking you to be with me today and spend time even though I know you’re busy with the company.” Your little girl pouted. 

It melted Asahi’s heart seeing the cute side of his daughter, “Don’t ever say that Princess. You’re very important to me and your Mommy. I will be there for you no matter how busy I am okay?” 

Your little girl gave the brightest smile as she hugged her Father tightly. “Alright Princess, let finish this. We don’t want Mommy waiting long now do we?” 

“It says beat the eggs... But how am I suppose to do that?!?!” He whispered and felt frustrated. Your daughter laughed that his Father did not know how to beat the eggs into the dry ingredients slowly. 

Junta Nikaido

The moment that your daughter mentioned that she wanted to learn how to play the piano, Junta didn’t hesitate but to learn it himself. He wanted to take this opportunity to teach his daughter to play the piano and to spend time with her due to his busy schedule. 

Once he finished he was now ready to teach your daughter. You were in awe that he would go that far just t teach your daughter. But you knew that he wanted to impress her as well, and let’s just say that it’s going to be hard for your daughter to find a significant other when her Father sets a very high standard. “Daddy! I heard that you learned the piano for me!” She smiled brightly. 

He carried her and put her on his lap, “And where did you hear that from?” He asked. 

“Mommy!” She cheered. Junta looked at your direction and glared at you but you just gave him a shrug. He wasn’t going to show his daughter the face that he just made at you and by the time her turned his attention back to your daughter he smiled sweetly at her, “I sure did Princess. I did it because I wanted to spend more time with you.” 

Everyone knows how much Junta loves his daughter and would sometimes be a doting father. As the two of them walked towards the piano all you could hear was the lovely melody that filled your home. It was such a happy melody that brought joy to everyone.

“Daddy, thank you. Thank you for learning how to play the piano for me. It must’ve been hard for you.”

“You shouldn’t worry about those details Princess. Plus I enjoyed learning if it means it makes you happy and I can see you smile.”

My Wedding and 7 Rings: Asahi Route Review [SPOILERS]

Once upon a time, I naively thought that Eisuke’s route in Kissed by the Baddest Bidder was the worst I’d ever have the misfortune of reading. Well, my friends. I’m delighted (?) to inform you that we have a new winner, in the the form of Asahi and his blood pressure-raising route.

Let’s start from the top, shall we? MC works for Sanno Corp, a conglomerate run by an affable CEO (aka her unknown/secret grandfather), who passes away. In his final days, he arranges for MC’s future “happiness” on her behalf, by setting up a Marriage Program for MC to pick a husband and future CEO among six up-and-coming male employees (no women allowed??). Instead of, you know, giving MC leadership training while he was alive so she could try being CEO herself like a proper loving grandfather, or something...

Anyways, MC is conned into signing a contract agreeing to the Marriage Program, while being told it’s paperwork for the company’s MVP award, by the shady interim CEO. Long story short, if she fails to find a husband before a year is up, the company will be forced to dissolve without a CEO, and she’ll be forced to pay everyone’s severance pay. So... I don’t know what the rules and regulations surrounding contracts are in Japan, but I can’t imagine that this'd hold up in court? There was a whole auditorium’s worth of people who could testify that MC was pressured into signing, after all. And according to Google, severance pay isn’t required in Japan if a company can’t continue its business due to “unavoidable circumstances” -- such as, say, an asshat ex-CEO who set up a terrible program for his granddaughter instead of getting to know her like a normal person?!

Anyways, because there is something seriously wrong with MC, she picks Asahi, aka very obviously the rudest of the bunch, to be her first marriage candidate during a month-long trial period. Asahi is a rich, privileged, and entitled douchebag who doesn’t understand poor/middle class people. He thinks he’s God’s gift to womankind because he’s handsome. And although MC is the one who holds all the cards as, you know, the person who picks the next CEO, he doesn’t hesitate to order MC around constantly (“Don’t do anything without my say-so!”), insults her, and regularly compares her to a pet dog. Ugh.

Oh, and he tries to have nonconsensual sex with her. TWICE. His rationale, after MC manages to ward him off? “This is the first time a girl has rejected my advances!” ...That doesn’t excuse shit, you asshole. And to top it all off, unlike other characters under the douchey alpha male trope who stop insulting MC halfway through, Asahi doesn’t really ever quit (“Plain IS your specialty.” - Episode 10 out of 13).

( ^this would’ve been a lovely CG if it were consensual >( )

All that alone is already enough to make me hate Asahi, and his route, quite passionately. But it gets worse. Throughout the entire story, Asahi forces MC to help him with a project to revitalize a Japanese village by bringing European luxury brands into the village and turning it into a tourist destination (weird, but sure, let’s roll with it). MC is Asahi’s assistant, but in reality, she is the only reason why the project even manages to succeed:

When Asahi rudely rejects a petition containing the villagers’ concerns about the project, MC is the one who listens to their complaints. And then Asahi gets PISSED at her for acting independently, and rips up the petition (!!) (“You’ll understand someday. Money and power are all that matter”). Douche doesn’t even begin to cover it. Psychopath?!

After a deal with a French CEO falls through due to Asahi’s evil half-brother’s meddling, MC and Asahi encounter a lost crying kid. MC wants to help the kid, Asahi wants to get the police to deal with it and call it a day. He’s super rude about it. But surprise surprise, said kid turns out to be the French CEO’s son, and that is the only reason why the Frenchman even gives Sanno Corp a chance. Without MC’s kindness, the project would’ve failed. Utterly. Because Asahi is an incompetent little shit.

The townspeople are upset over traditions being thrown out the window, and because MC’s the only person who ever listened to their concerns, she’s the one who comes up with the idea of embracing these old traditions even as they introduce new Western elements to the town’s stores, and mixing old with new. There is no way entitled little rich kid Asahi would’ve been able to come up with this on his own.

So what happens at the end of the route, you ask? Surely MC gets rewarded professionally for her excellent people skills and business acumen? HAH...don’t make me laugh. Here’s what happens:

MC writes an excellent project proposal as a last ditch effort, which Asahi utterly ignores because he went off to do his own thing regarding the deal. He praises MC, but who gives a shit? Words are cheap. I want actual, tangible, career success for MC.

The Frenchman announces, in a news conference, that he’ll be making a deal with Sanno Corp, and demands to work, more specifically, with his good friend Asahi. Um, excuse me, but WTF?!?!? Who was the one who helped his kid, again? Who was the one who came up with the proposal in the first place? Way to devalue a woman’s work and let another man get all the credit, dude! This makes me so mad asdfhqkjdhqfqdjfsh

Most annoyingly, Asahi presumably gets to be the next CEO, since MC obviously chooses him. Despite the fact that he’s so bad with people it’s unfathomable how he even got to where he was before he met MC...

This whole saga, with MC’s efforts and kindness being brushed aside/unrecognized, and the useless Asahi reaping the rewards of all of MC’s hard work, really really boiled my blood. As a working woman with ambitions, the whole work subplot represents many of my greatest fears regarding sexism in the professional workplace. It was, in a way, even more infuriating than Asahi’s romantic shittiness, because despite being ridiculous and unrealistic, everything still felt allll too fucking real.

After my extended rant regarding Eisuke a while back, several people pointed out that Eisuke’s character evolution over the course of many stories is what makes him truly great. I’m a little dubious, to be very honest, but I can respect that. But as for Asahi? IMHO this little dipshit doesn’t deserve future character evolution. He’s already used MC for professional success! He doesn’t get to just waltz in and reap the rewards of “becoming a better man” due to MC’s hard work and effort. What does MC even get out of this whole deal?? A good, rich man who loves her!? Yeah, no thanks. She could’ve gotten that from one of the many other less douchey love interests, probably without all this wasted emotional labor.

At the end of the day, Asahi and his route embodies several tropes/fantasies that I understand are very popular (and maybe even more popular in Japan, I wouldn’t know), and I can’t blame Voltage for catering to their audience (and even, perhaps, to you, the reader). He’s rich, he’s an “alpha male,” yadda yadda...I get it. But it’s definitely not a trope for me, and even less so given that whole crappy work thing. So. To reiterate, this has been the single most infuriating route I’ve had the displeasure of reading, to date. And because I strongly believe Asahi does not deserve to improve at the cost of MC’s suffering and sacrifice, I have no plans to give any of his sequels a chance. >(

(If this review actually made you want to check out Asahi’s route, my apologies - the free promotion has long since ended. But you can still enjoy (?) the story on Voltage’s Love365 app using coins!)

Choice quotes: “Aren’t you going to say, ‘I’m leaving for work, master’ on your way out?” “I’m leaving for work... you naked fathead!” “If you’re waiting for the day I take orders from you, 100 years won’t be enough.”

Personality: 1/10 Asahi is a rude asshole who lacks empathy and doesn’t know his damn place. He is such a rich douchebag stereotype.

Appearance: 8/10. Unfortunately.

MC: 6/10. I liked MC’s sass and work ethic, but she has terrible taste in men and is way too happy about the tiny breadcrumbs of kindness Asahi occasionally throws at her.

Plot/Payoff: 0/10. Horrifying for a working woman. >(

Personal enjoyment: 0/10. No

MWA7R: Fight

“debbie-chu said: a my wedding and 7 rings headcanon pls? about having a big fight? Ren Asahi Junta Kai? thank you~”

Kai Fujisawa

Kai has been quiet. Even the rest of the guys noticed how quiet he’s been. But Kai would only talk to women which pretty much pissed you off. The car ride back home was awkward as hell. No one said a word and the two of you were looking out of the window.

Once you guys stepped into the house you asked him, “Kai what’s wrong? You’ve been awfully quiet lately and I’m worried.”

“Leave me alone Y/N.” Kai glared.

“Okay Mr. Grumpy Pants, did I do something wrong? What did I do to make you mad at me for some odd reason? Cause right now I’m really confused.” You crossed your arms in front of you but that didn’t phase Kai. He just wanted to be left alone right now but its diving you insane not knowing what you did to make him angry.

You didn’t understand why Kai is being cold to you and pushing you away. You thought you were passed this stage, you thought that he was finally opening up to you. Yet it looks like you’re back to square one.

He made his way up the stairs and you grabbed his arm. “Can’t we just talk about this nicely Kai?” You muttered.

“Why are you being so annoying! I said leave me alone Y/N!” He pushed you away forgetting that two of you were on the stairs. Losing your balance you fell down the stairs and rolled your ankle and possibly sprained your wrist as well. “Y/N!” Kai panicked.

“Don’t. I’ll leave you alone. Now I want you to leave me alone as well.” You looked up at him with watery eyes. You got up on your own and limped towards the kitchen to get some ice. Kai wasn’t able to do anything but to slam his door shut. He was mad at himself for doing that to you.

Asahi Kakyouin

Recently Asahi has been monitoring you about every single move you make. He would ask who you’re texting and who’s texting you whenever you’re with him. Lately, he noticed the amount of text you were getting in a day and it’s irritating him.

“Y/N be honest with me, are you cheating on me?”

You couldn’t help but chuckle, “Why do you think I’m cheating on you?” Asahi was not pleased, you didn’t answer his question. “Geez, why are you such in a bad mood. I’m not cheating on you okay?”

To Asahi, that was a poor excuse but for now, he’ll trust your word. He’s being extra sweet on you and you didn’t mind. But to him, it’s a way of investigating whether you’re really cheating on him or not. In just moment you got a message saying “Ready for tonight? I’m sure he’ll love it. ❤️”

This single text caused a big fight between you and Asahi. “I knew it! You’re off to see your love tonight, aren’t you! Right on my birthday Y/N! What a wonderful present you got for me!” He yelled.

“How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not cheating on you?!?!” You yelled back. Asahi expressed his part on this and mentioned that he saw your text messages with an unknown friend and a lot of missed calls from them. “That doesn’t fucking prove I’m cheating on you! Why are you such an idiot?!?!”

“Me? An idiot?!?! I’m not the one sleeping with other men when they’re in a relationship! You know, I thought you were different from them. But clearly, you’re not.”

You couldn’t believe those words came out of his mouth. You gave him a slap on the face hoping it’ll wake him up to reality. “For goodness sake Asahi! I’m not cheating on you! I did this for your birthday surprise but clearly, you accused me of cheating. And I can’t believe you’d actually think I’ll cheat on you.” You grabbed your phone and jacket and left Asahi. He called out to you but you never looked back.

You gave the taxi driver the destination. Tonight was supposed to be a perfect night but your dumbass boyfriend let his emotions get to him. He accused you first before asking you what was going on.

Junta Nikaido

“I get that we’re living together now but can you at least do some chores on your own?”

You sneered.

Lately, Junta’s been leaving his clothes lying around in the apartment. It’s pissing you off because he’s making a lot of mess inside the house. “Why should I? I can just ask a maid to do it for me.”

“Junta, it’s just the two of us. Can you at least do some chores like normal couples do to help each other out?”

“Again… Why should I? Shouldn’t you be the one doing all the house chores? That’s a woman’s job after all.” That crossed the line.

“Did you really just say that? Fine, be that way.” You stomped away from him. How can he just say those things? He’s acting like a spoiled brat, who does he think he is? He’s not a boy for goodness sake, he’s a grown man. He should at least know how to take care of himself without acting like you need servants to do everything for you.

Ren Shibasaki 

“Ren, I know you hate broccoli but it won’t hurt if you eat it at least once a month. It’s good for your health!”

No matter what you do he would never eat broccoli. Never in a million years. “You know I don’t like it Y/N stop forcing me to eat something I’m not interested in.” He stated.

You knew that Ren hasn’t been eating properly and in addition, he wasn’t getting enough sleep either. All of these things are not good for his health and you just wanted what’s best for him.

“And I’m telling you that it's nutritious and good for your health! It won’t kill you, Ren.” You sighed.

He refused to eat it no matter what. “You know what if you get sick. Don’t expect me to take care of you. If that happens, Daniel will come to your aide.”

The reason for your fight might seem really shallow and stupid but you hoped that he’ll realize the importance of taking care of his body. And you meant it when you said that if he gets sick you won’t be the one nursing him.

In the end, he did get sick but you just let Daniel take care of his master. You haven’t talked to him since that little fit you pulled. You tried to ignore him, “Daniel please take good care of your Prince. I’m off to work.”
