Dream Star

-TX Studios- October 25th 

Lila"s request for Haruka was relatively simple; she just wanted him to accompany her to her upcoming drama shooting that would start next month . The original female lead dropped out for some reason, and she ended up having to take her place . The last five days, other than her spending more time with Kiryu, something else had happened . A deep sigh pa.s.sed her lips, Lila really wanted to ask Haruka about it earlier . About the song, Aizawa Mei sang during her guerilla live . Not many people had noticed it until she sang it on a music program .

"Haruka"s songs," Lila murmured to herself . Was just her imagination? But everybody else is speculating it . It sounds similar to something Haruka wrote for her before . While most people could only speculate, and not formulate a proper answer . But Lila knew it was Haruka"s song . How come? Why did Haruka write Aizawa Mei a song?

"Lilsan were ready for you . "

. . . . .

Lila didn"t think that not only would she receive congratulations . But her gaze landed on the number of business cards in her hands . Her sweatdropped . All of those people coming out of the audience out the blue surprised her . The song Lila sang was the song Haruka supposedly wrote for Aizawa Mei . It felt wrong to her at first, but once she started singing, it felt like the song was made for her .

"Teras.h.i.+ma Lila . "

Her thoughts broke off when she spotted pink hair, "Misaki-san!"

"I came to warn you," Misaki nodded, "I didn"t say this at the dinner the other time because of Haruka . But I will tell you straight up, from now on Zane will do whatever he can to break your relations.h.i.+p with Haruka . He will use all types of means to tear you two apart . "

"It seems like I provoked him . "

Misaki nodded, "n.o.body"s provoked him as much as you," she trailed off, "Lila, I am giving you this warning because your Haruka"s girlfriend . I know he will use whatever method he can to either disgrace your reputation, so you"ll be seen as being unworthy of Haruka . "

"Etto question!"

"Yes?"

"It"s not about being worthy, pretty, or even talented . Haruka loves me because I"m me and I love him because he"s him . It"s not about whether we are worth anything, or even deserve each other . Its because we want to be together because that"s what we chose . "

To her surprise, Misaki-san burst into laughter .

Lila blinked in confusion . "Misaki-san?"

"Truly you"re an interesting one . Tell me, Lila, regarding Haruka . Is there a particular reason why you don"t tell him what you want from him?"

What does she want? Lila was puzzled for a few minutes when Misaki whispers something in her ear . Her cheeks flush red, realizing what she meant .

"How innocent . But surely you have the same desires? I"ll admit even though Haruka is younger than me; it"s easy for any woman of my age to become attracted to him . "

"B—b—but— waah," Lila stammered . By this point, her cheeks were flushed red . Why is Misaki-san asking her something like this?

"I"m asking as a fellow woman . " Oh !!! Misaki continued, "I simply don"t understand it . Is it the age difference? At the start, I thought that but then there"s Miyazawa Rosalia, and other girls Haruka knows who are the same age . "

"It"s not . . . it"s not like I don"t have any desires towards Kiryu, in fact, I have quite a lot," Lila admitted . She somehow managed to put on a brave expression despite how embarra.s.sed she felt . She really does have loads, loads of things she wants to do Haruka too .

"Hmm and yet . . . ?"

"B--but, I um have little experience or skills . When I think about all the other girls Haruka"s been with, I become ashamed," Lila admitted . She can"t compare with those other girls at all .

"So that"s it . I see I see, makes sense . Indeed, most men prefer experienced woman . But you know Lila, Haruka isn"t that sort of man . He slept with those experienced women not out of personal preference but because by sleeping with an experienced person . He would learn techniques on how not to hurt you . "

"Ah . . . um? Eh?"

Misaki deeply exhaled, "In the end, it was all for you . From the very start . Haruka was very hesitant about sleeping with other girls; of course, he was .  After all, he loves you . The other girls must have seen it and came to the same conclusion as me, "not to get attached . "

"But Misaki-san, didn"t you love Kiryu? "

"I did, but," Misaki sighed, "Maybe I fell for Haruka too . Even if we tell ourselves not to get attached, it"s impossible . The more time we spent with someone, feelings of attachment and other feelings emerge . But despite that, none of the girls ever tried to confess to him . Haruka always looked seriously solemn after touching another girl, leading to the other party pretending to be indifferent to make him feel better .

For Haruka, it"s always been about you . " The first time I touch her, I want it to be special . I don"t want to hurt her . " it"s impossible since he"d be touching a virgin, you"d feel pain . But he insisted on that idea . Though it was Kiryu who took your first time, how did that feel?"

Even though Misaki-san usually has a blank expression . Lila could see the sparkle in her eyes . Her sweatdropped, its almost as though she only said the other things at the start as a set up to this conversation . Haruka, he really is a dummy .

"Ah-huh, it"s like that . It really was special, and," Lila laughs, " For some strange reason it didn"t hurt . It just felt so natural to me . Even though I was a virgin . "

"I see what about Haruka?"

Lila"s cheeks colored at her question . What about Haruka? Isn"t it obvious?

"I see," Misaki trailed off and began to walk away . She pauses for a moment, though . "Don"t lose to that woman . "

"I won"t . "

"Teras.h.i.+ma Lila, I will see you at practice . "

"Yes, goodbye, Misaki-san, and thank you . "

. . . .

When Lila goes up the back staircase to go to the roof, she noticed the card slipped on her sleeve . " My details . Contact me anytime . " Lila blinks, it must he when they shook each other"s hands just now . Her thoughts broke off when she caught a glimpse of maroon-colored hair . It belonged to her boyfriend Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka .

Wahhh wahhh! Her Haruka looks so handsome! Otto Otto . . . phone . . . Lila quickly found her phone and took a quick picture . Alright! She should make this her wallpaper . No sooner had she done a small victory pose, she hears a chuckle .

"Why is my wife taking sneak shots of me?"

"Cause! Just now you looked handsome," Lila explained .

"Only now?"

Lila panicked when she sensed his hurt tone, only to be interrupted by laughter . Wah! Lila walked over to the railing, cheeks in a pout . " Haruka, you"re always bullying me recently . As punishment, were standing a part! "

"Hmm . "

He"s so silly . But as expected, she does like seeing him smile .

"I didn"t think you"d sing my song . "

Lila nodded happily, "Ah, its cause I like it . "

"Is that all?"

"And I noticed Haruka, that song -- rather than you using me as an inspiration . Was that song, not meant for me?" Lila questioned . She thought it was just her imagination, but after she started to sing it . Lila understood, Haruka wrote it for her .

"Spot on, I knew you were a genius, Lila . "

Wah, she"s being praised! Hearing another chuckle . Lila looked away, embarra.s.sed . She really does need to stop being so happy whenever he compliments her . But Lila liked everything Haruka does, especially regarding her . " How come? "

"Honestly, I really was in a slump . No melodies, lyrics, or anything came to mind . I realized what the reason was quite quickly, it"s because I couldn"t meet with you as often as I did before . As you know Lila, all my songs are written for you . They"re all dedicated or inspired to you one way or another . Even when I write for others, there"s something in the song that connects to you . I"ve never encountered such a problem before . Because we"ve always been together, even when we"re apart . We"ve always frequently contacted each other . "

Ah, that"s right . This time around, she really did get a glimpse of it . A life without Haruka . No phone calls or messages . Not seeing him for days . It"s like they were living in completely different universes .

"So yeah, since I couldn"t come up with anything . I just gave her one of the songs I wrote for you . I regretted it instantly . I write those songs solely for you; I didn"t want anyone else singing them . Her interpretation of the song is nice . But it"s not what I imagined . "

Lila frowned, "I still wish I heard about it from you, it scared me, you know? When I heard about it from other people, it upset me . "

"I know . "
