INTRODUCTION:
1 — This story is set in the Heian period (平安時代) of ancient Japan, circa 794 A.D. to 1185 A.D.
2 — The Heian Palace, where the background of this story is set in, was the Imperial Palace of the Heian capital (present-day Kyoto) during the period. The structural design of the palace buildings greatly resembles those of the Forbidden City in ancient China. For images of the Heian Palace you may refer to this site.

GLOSSARY:
1 — bukan sokutai (武官束帯) : a customary garment worn by lower-ranked Imperial warriors.
2 — jyunihitoe (十二単) : a twelve-layer kimono worn by women of the Imperial Palace. The colour and design of the robes defines the rank, as the Empress wears a jyunihitoe of finest silk of gold, red and jade green, whereas the jyunihitoe worn by ladies-in-waiting and lower-ranked court ladies are of less-elaborate design and subtle colours.
3 — kougou-sama (皇后さま) : a title to address the Empress.
4 — tennou-sama (天皇さま) : a title to address the Emperor.

With that said, my friends, onwards! :D

Mercurial Dreams – Chapter Sixteen

Author: tashiichaan
Rating: T
Genre: Romance, angst, humour
Featuring: Sakurai Sho
Banner designed by: tashiichaan
Story Summary: Hiroki never holds expectations for anything. She never expected to be promoted just 6 months into her job; she never expected her housemate to be a little more sane; but of all those damned unexpectations, she didn’t expect to find herself drawn into the life of Sakurai Sho. She didn’t expect to fall in love with him. And it all starts with a can of Coke.

NOTE: OMGGGGGGGG I haven’t updated in months!!! I hate how I’m been busy nonstop – first it was exams, and right after exams it was work… I really wanted to update my stories, but I had a stubborn writer’s block! I struggled really hard to edit this chapter (I had written this earlier, wayyy before my exams), but I pulled through for the sake of my lovely readers (who had me on a guilt trip when you guys sent emails and pestered me asking when an update is coming along XD). Thank you so much if you’re still reading this story – I wouldn’t have done it without your support. I’m updating Chapter 16 because I feel I need to reward you guys. You rock <3
