Keito make sign for the girls to silent and says, “I’m happy to talk with beautiful girls like all of you but I need to excuse myself. See all of you tomorrow.”
The girl just wave bye to him while screaming happily when Keito leave them. He really hates that situation but he doesn’t want to hurt any of girl’s heart. He knows girl’s heart really fragile like thin glass and he doesn’t want to make problem with them.

“I need to attend another party at same day. I already inform them about you will come.” Say her father.
“Why you didn’t ask nii-chan to do it?” ask Karina.
“He will only go to party when he proves to me that he is actually useful.” Say her father.
“I also useless person like him.” Mutter Karina in low voice.
“I don’t want to hear anything about it anymore. You can use this card to buy everything that need for the party.” Say her father.
“Papa, I never attend any party. So, I don’t know what I should wear. If you ask nii-chan, everything would be perfect.” Say Karina. Then, her father pushes a button on the telecom and asks someone to get into the room.
“What can I do?” ask the worker. Karina surprises to see the worker because it just another version of Nakahara.
“I want you to help my daughter to get ready for tomorrow’s party.” Say her father.
“As you wish, sir.” Say the worker as she bows.
“Let’s just do it tomorrow. I don’t have mood to do it today.” Say Karina. She just think like that as the next day is weekend which give more time for her to get ready for the party.

“Just wait at UK Cafe tomorrow.” Say Karina. Karen just leaves the room and her father continues talk about what she should know about the party. Karina want to leave place as soon as possible but escape while her father is talking is same killing herself to listen another hours of her father’s talk.
*************************
That night, Karina can’t sleep and just listen to music from her laptop. She use loud speaker to listen it as she really bored at that time. There’s nothing she could do at that time to make she fall asleep.
“Why I keep remember about that dream?” ask Karina in her mind. She still thinks it is dream because Keito never talk or know about her. She just another girl who always hide from his sight because knows that she would never have chance to get near him.
Karina just stare at the ceiling and try to calculate something in her mind before slowly drift into soundless sleeps. She wake when feel sunshine shower her as she forget to close the curtain. She take a look at the clock and says, “Ah, it still early.”
She stands up and want to walk to bathroom but she trip over the rug. She falls on the bigger bed in her room. She realizes there is someone else has sleep on that bed and it smells like guy perfume. She doesn’t think anyone get into her room or sleep on that bed.
“Who sleep here?” ask Karina to herself.
Before she could think further about who sleep on that bed, someone knocks her door and says, “Karina, wake up. You agree to meet Karen-san today for shopping.”
“I already awake.” Say Karina before get into bathroom to clean herself. After that, she just wears simple clothes and goes to destinated place. She just decides to walk by herself to UK Cafe as her mother will need driver on the morning.
When she arrives at UK Cafe, she just takes her favourite table and orders her favourite drink. She enjoy her tea while take a look at people at the street. It seem everyone rush to place that they want to go even it is weekend.
“Sumimasen, I’m late. I have to wait for my Nee-san to get ready. I invite her along as she could give better opinion about what to wear to the party.” Say Karen.
“It’s okay. You just give enough time for me to enjoy my drink.” Say Karina as she wipe her mouth with napkin before put it on the table.
“I introduce you to my nee-san, Minami.” Say Karen as she gestures to beautiful lady beside her. Karina really surprise to see who it is that make her quickly stand up from her chair.
“Wah, I never know the girl that need to make over is you, Kuzuryu Karina.” Say Nakahara.
“And I never know Karen has nee-san like you.” Say Karina.
“So, what kind of party you will go tonight?” ask Nakahara.
“Annual party for Okamoto’s Group. I think it is a formal party.” Say Karina as she begin fold up the napkin into some kind of origami.
“If like that, I know suitable place to find clothes like what you want.” Say Nakahara.
*******************
Three of them already in that boutique for 2 hours but they couldn’t found the suitable dress to buy. Karina already tired as she doesn’t really use for shopping. Karen just sit at waiting area and read magazine provided there while Nakahara still walk around the boutique to figure out which dress suitable for Karina.
“Sensei, I already tired. Could we just choose any dress and proceed to other thing?” ask Karina.
“No, this party will be your first party and you need to find suitable dress for you. You need to leave good impression at that party. You’re the last child and sole daughter of Kuzuryu Group’s president.” Say Nakahara.
“I can’t wish in what family that I want to born.” Say Karina in low voice.
“I hear you. This party also become platform for you to change your clothing. You will never stay with your jeans pants and hoodies. You already 17 not 7. Even me; start to wear dress when I was 10 years old.” Say Nakahara.
“I’m not like you. Even the counselling room already turn into boutique.” Say Karina.
Nakahara begin nagging Karina about the important for girl to take care their appearance while waiting for the boutique to bring out more dresses. Karina just dozes off while listening to it before receive smack from Nakahara, “It’s not time for you to sleep.”
“I thought you’re playing lullaby.” Karina just makes excuse.
“I’m just lucky as I will use excuse I scold you as your sensei.” Say Nakahara.
“Ah, I really hate that excuse.” Say Karina. Nakahara opens her mouth to say something but the worker already bring out a dress that simple and it is in sky blue color. Karina just gets into the fitting room to try to the dress.
“Ah, we already found the suitable dress. Does this shop also sell matching accessories for it?” say Nakahara to the worker.
“Yes, this way please.” Say the worker. Karina gets back into the room to change her clothes. After that, she takes seat near Karen and asks, “How you could stand with nee-san like her?”
“Actually, her dream is to become a coordinator but my parent doesn’t approve it. That’s why she really works out when I told her that you need help in fashion.” Say Karen.
“It must be hard for her to forget her dream. I understand her feeling.” Say Karina.
“You understand?” ask Karen. She seems confuse to hear what the girl in front of her saying.
“When I was a kid, I want to become a dancer but my grandparent didn’t approve and make me forget about it.” say Karina.
Thanks to Nakahara and Karen, Karina goes to the party and doesn’t face any problems. She also could leave great impression to everyone. She just takes taxi to get back home and get into her room after make sure every door in that house being lock. She will be home alone as her parent will stay at hotel and her brother will hang-out with his friends until next morning.
She just go back home and clean herself. suddenly, there is a knock at her window...
