4 Why?!

Crap, I'm late. I'm late, I'm late...

I was running as fast as I could. My legs were hurting, but I had to be there in time. I had to see my real parents after all. However, I wasn't happy or excited. I don't know why, but I couldn't think about them as my parents, I preferred to live with my sister and her parents... this sounds a bit weird.

At last, I approached the destination. Damn this building is enormous... What is this? A hotel? A restaurant? Anyways, time to go inside.

I went inside this huge building and I was instantly fascinated with it. This interior, the walls, the fountain, and even the red carpet were so beautiful. This is amazing.

It turned out it was a 5-star hotel. I went inside the elevator. Even the elevator was so well decorated.

Room 547, room 547. Oh, here it is.

-I'm sorry I'm late!- I shouted as soon as I opened the door.

-Oh, there you are. Nice to meet you. You must be Nagi-kun.

Right in front of me stood a tall, black-haired, handsome man, the complete opposite of the man who raised me. So this guy is my real dad?

-Yes, I'm Nagi. Nice to meet you too.

-We were worried! We thought you weren't going to show up for us.

We sat down at a fancy table. And then I heard what they wanted.

My mom started to talk:

- So, anyway, Nagi, there's something I've been keeping from you. The four of us parents talked it through.

"Gulp"

What's going on inside their heads? Why do I have a feeling that something is not right? I don't like the situation. Something is not right...

My real mom continued:

- The truth is, we all care about our biological children, as well as the children we raised. It's been sixteen years after all.

-I'd imagine.

- So then we realized... If the two of you get married you'd both be our kids.

W-w-what? I knew something was wrong. But I never thought it would come out like that. This is the worst-case scenario. Why don't they ask me or their child? Maybe neither of us wants to get married yet? I don't even know who she is.

-Wait, are you serious? What are you saying?

-I was so surprised when I saw the photo my daughter sent me. To think you two were already in a relationship! It sure does speed things along. Miracles do happen!

Huh? No, no, no. Not her. Please not her.

-Ah, there she is. Allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Erika, with whom you were mixed up at birth.

My eyes widened. Why? Why? Out of all people why her? I was shocked. So I was supposed to marry her? No, nope, no way.

- I'm looking forward to your marriage!- Said, my real dad.

- M-marriage?! I can't accept that. I have to study, get a good job and first of all I have to beat my rival in the exams. There is no time for marriage now.

- I can't accept that either...- Said, Erika - But I have to keep my word. I'm gonna punch you because you are my groom now.

-Wait, wait, wait, wait. There's been a change in circumstances!

-Really? Why would I care?

"SLAP"
