Every girl has that one special day in her life.
A day which she could never forget, a day full of happiness and joy. A day which she could recall perfectly even after 30 years down to very last detail like the day, date what she wore, ate, etc.
For some, it’s their wedding day, for some it’s their first date, for some it might be the day she gave birth, etc. She makes preparations for that day from days to weeks to a month before.
For Asuna, she thought, that particular day in her life was coming soon.
It had all started when Alex won the competition. He won the concert ticket but didn’t actually know what to do with them.
‘Hmm… What should I do with them? I did say that I would take Asuna to the concert, but I only said it to tease Hikaru, Hmmm… Maybe I’ll give these to Yuuto to take someone out.’
Alex was in the middle of mulling over what he should do with the tickets.
‘Maybe I can give them to Takumi to take his new girlfriend out on a date.’
Although the tickets could be used to take your best friend to the concert. But the first thought which came to most of those adolescent students after hearing that they were TWO tickets is that they have the chance to take their girlfriend/boyfriend to the concert.
The ticket was also could have been used to ask someone out in order to start a relationship.
Asuna was no exception, seeing Alex won the ticket, she thought this was her chance to strengthen her bond with Alex. But her timidness and shyness were blocking the way.
Nevertheless, through sheer determination, she brought up enough courage to stand in front of Alex. Although her legs were trembling and her voice was stuttering, she said,
‘Co-congratulations, A-A-Alex on win-winning the com-competition.’
‘Thanks, Asuna, but the truth is I just got lucky.’
Asuna’s heart was beating so loud, she feared that even Alex could hear it, she was blushing red as she asked,

‘W-What are you go-going to do with th-them?’
‘I was just thinking about that, I was thinking of giving them to someone.’
Asuna’s stamina was running out, she thought she would faint on the spot. But Alex talked like he always did, *not noticing the goddamn signs of her.*
‘Wait, Asuna, do you want to go to the concert?’
There it was, the invitation. To Asuna was the same as Alex was saying,
’Asuna, will you marry me?’
It was a question that Asuna had yearned for, her entire body was screaming YES as she said with a low, barely audible voice.
‘…Yes’
‘Great, here you go.’
It was like a divine gift as Alex was taking out the ticket and giving it to her, Asuna held out both her hands to receive it, but to her bewilderment, she got both of the tickets as Alex walked away.
‘Huh?’
‘You can take one of your friends there, I am sure it will be lots of fun.’
*Why the hell are main characters so damn DENSE.* When Alex asked Asuna, “Do you want to go?”
He was leaving himself out of the equation. To Asuna, the shock was equivalent to the pain as if she was kicked in the groin. A pain only boys/men know.
She didn’t know what to do. But her body won’t let this happen.
As if her body was possessed, it moved on its own and grabbed Alex’s shoulder. Asuna didn’t realize what she was doing until Alex turned around and asked,
‘Is something wrong, Asuna?’
It was now or never for Asuna, she mustered up all her strength to ask this,
‘A-Alex, you’re my friend too, w-would you go w-with me to the concert?’
Seriously this was asking too much from an introvert as she pushed her boundaries to go beyond.
‘Hmm, sure.’
She handed Alex one of the tickets, both of them then walked home. For Alex, this was another ordinary day. For Asuna, this day was so exhausting that as soon as she arrived home, she went to bed.
The day finally arrived. The concert was to be held in the evening. Asuna spent all her time preparing for the show until then.
Asuna prepared for this day, taking into account every small detail. She wished Alex would come to her apartment and personally pick her up, but that was her just wanting too much.
Alex and Asuna were to meet at a mutually agreed time and place, where Asuna had arrived two hours earlier than the designated time. *Why? I seriously have no idea.*
Winter was in full swing, but it had yet to snow. Still, there was a chill in the air. Everyone had worn a coat or at least a jacket, except Asuna.
Asuna wore a formal marine blue attire, earrings to go with her dress, an amethyst pendant that complemented her eyes, black stocking, which went up to her thighs and red heels.
She wore a sleeveless a-type gown that exposed her body to the cold, and all that she used to shelter her body from the weather was a slim jacket.
The jacket was barely sufficient, and she kept shivering in the cold.
She waited for Alex there as Alex arrived 5 minutes later than the decided time in his casual clothes compared to Asuna, who dressed as this was the most momentous day in her life.
