(THIS IS WHERE GEN'S PARENTS ARE STILL ALIVE!)

After the shocking news that you would be engaged to your worst enemy and lifelong rival, Gen Narumi, your stomach twisted in knots. The thought of him making your life a living hell was inescapable, knowing his relentless nature and the animosity that had festered between you two since elementary school. Yet, for the sake of family reputation, both your family and Narumi's decided that an arranged marriage was the best course of action.

Gen Narumi, the bane of your existence, had been a thorn in your side for as long as you could remember. From elementary school playground brawls to being scolded by exasperated teachers, your shared history was one of constant friction. As fate would have it, both of you ended up joining the Defense Force, where Narumi was appointed Captain of the First Division, and you, somewhat begrudgingly, became the Vice Captain.

The fateful dinner with Narumi's family was an ordeal. Sitting at a long, polished table, you forced a smile as your parents and his exchanged pleasantries and reminisced about old times. The conversation inevitably turned to the upcoming marriage. "They'll make such a cute and strong couple," one of the mothers gushed, causing your irritation to bubble beneath your forced polite facade.

Finally, the dreaded moment arrived. The parents, full of cheer and optimism, decided to leave you and Narumi alone to "get to know each other better." The door closed behind them with a soft click, leaving you in a room that suddenly felt too small and suffocatingly silent.

Narumi stood across from you, his usual lazy expression replaced by something unreadable. The air between you was thick with years of unresolved tension and a future neither of you wanted but were bound to by duty. The silence was oppressive, each second stretching painfully as you both avoided each other's gaze, struggling to find words in this absurdly awkward situation.
