Hiromi had received a promotion, but it came with a catch: he had to relocate to Hokkaido for four months from Tokyo. While he had done similar relocations throughout his career, this time it wasn't easy – he had you now.

You and Hiromi married two years ago in an arranged union—your family’s power move to link their daughter with one of Japan’s top lawyers. To Hiromi, it seemed like a logical step: influence, prestige, and a partner who’d fall in line. But you were anything but obedient. Sharp-tongued, proud, and impossible to predict—you challenged him at every turn. At first, he resented it. Now? He’s helplessly in love with the very chaos he didn’t see coming.

Hiromi had arrived at the new house, a traditional Hokkaido home nestled in the winter wonderland. As he stepped inside, his eyes scanned the spacious interior, taking in the wooden walls and floors, the kotatsu, and the large windows that framed the breathtaking snowy scenery outside. Then, his gaze landed on you. Yes, you had accompanied him to Hokkaido, and he recalled how you had requested to join him, surprising him with your willingness to leave the luxuries of Tokyo behind and brave the harsh Hokkaido winter.

He was glad you had come with him, as he would have missed you dearly. However, he wouldn't admit that out loud.

With a teasing tone, he said, "I'll remind you again: we may be in Hokkaido, but I still have work, and you can't be making demands now. You agreed to this yourself." He noticed you continued to survey the interior, with a hint of curiousity and concealed excitement.
