" --If that"s the case, then all you have to do is change. Were you not the one who told me that, President?"Lila laughs, " Right, but I"m unable to do it alone. Osaka Taiga, would you become my partner? "
"And cut !! That was great; let"s take a break now. "
Lila"s gaze landed on the clock. Scarily two hours had already gone by. She didn"t notice at all since he was so caught up in acting. Still, her body was not in the best state, and Lila swayed back and forth. s.h.i.+chiro, however, helped her, "Ah, thank you. "
"The breaks long, you should catch some sleep."
"Mm, but I want to look over a few more scenes," she trailed off. Where did Yori go? She was here earlier.
"Just now.…when you add lib… "
Before s.h.i.+chiro could finish her sentence, somebody grabbed her wrist. When she saw Haruka, her eyes widened.
"Ah? Haruka? What?"
___
Haruka quickly took her away. It was easy to find a spare room since hardly anybody was around today.
Haruka got straight to the point; he doesn"t see any reason why he has to keep himself guessing, anyway. Besides, she practically gave everything away then. So he doesn"t see why she wouldn"t talk about it. However, he completely wrong. He sees the girl"s gaze go dark. Ah...
He grabbed hold of her wrist, " Hold on a minute. Where are you going?"
"Harukkun, let me go."
It had been a long time since he last heard her call him Harukkun. When they first met, she was still uncomfortable with him, but since she wanted to respect their parent"s wishes of them getting along. She called him by his first name, but she attached the -san honorific, despite their similar ages. The coldness in the girl"s eyes and her tone certainly resembled the one from back then.
Haruka shook his head, " Not until you tell me the truth. "
Lila merely gave him a blank look and walked off again. Till he pushed her towards the nearby wall and pinned her with his arms preventing her from escaping. Thankfully, they were quite a distance from the set. He wouldn"t know how to explain this situation to them.
Haruka too wasn"t quite sure exactly what he was trying to prove. But he had a feeling that if he let her go now, if he let go of her, then once again — recalling the incidence. He shuddered. It"s okay. She may have gotten hurt, but she survived. They all did. Nothing like that will happen again. As long as Teras.h.i.+ma Kyoko is around, they won"t have to experience something like that.
At that time, at that time. He thought that he lost everyone. That he lost Teras.h.i.+ma Lila. It surprised him then, how the person he was the most afraid of losing then was Teras.h.i.+ma Lila. Back then, he had yet to realize the extent of his feelings for her.
At first, Haruka dismissed it as a natural concern. However, when he saw Lila alone. It was natural he would be more worried about the person who wasn"t with anyone. Yes, it was natural.
But as time went by, Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka realized that there was something strange about his feelings towards Teras.h.i.+ma Lila. Whenever he saw her, he wanted to touch her. He wanted to be with her all the time despite being cold and indifferent to such things. After falling in love with Teras.h.i.+ma Lila, he realized that he was just like any average guy.
It just came more slowly to him. Yes, it came slowly. But when he was putting the pieces together. It came cras.h.i.+ng down like a meteor. He realized it was strange. Strange because they resembled the feelings he had towards Teras.h.i.+ma Lila. Before he knew it, his gaze was always on her, and he was always lending her a hand.
He couldn"t play the role of a partner as well as Kiryu. But he at least wanted to watch her back whenever Kiryu wasn"t around. Let"s face it even though people were kinder to the girl in middle school. Someone like Lila will always have enemies, whether she entered the entertainment industry; whether her parents were famous. It wouldn"t have made a difference.
There are just many things about Teras.h.i.+ma Lila that people can"t help but envy. During such times where Kiryu wasn"t with her, he tried to act as a protector. Even though he protected her in the shadows, that role was still s.n.a.t.c.hed away. Rather, it never belonged to him in the first place. There were others. Ameno, Senbi - rather the guys in seven stars practically acted as her guard the entire time.
He wonders if Lila knew, how dearly he thinks about you. How every single word/conversation they"ve had, he stores in his memory like a treasure. Haruka recalled the advice the girl"s mother gave him before.

2034 - X Entertainment
Opposite him sat a woman with long brown hair, while Haruka went to great lengths to avoid her, she showed up here anyway.
"Harukkun it may be hard for you to comprehend it just now. But I"ll tell you anyway; you"ve probably experienced it to an extent. When Lila used the ghost a.n.a.logy on you, she meant that love is not as easy as what people make out. It"s not something that can be defined, and that"s why she used such a round way of explaining it. It"s heavy, some can see it, and yet others can"t see it, they"re all words that attempt to go round about properly defining it.
Love is heavy since it contains many feelings and emotions other than then feelings of love. Those that can easily say they are in love, maybe the ones who are actually thinking about love the most.
Lilchan and Kiryu-kun are great together. It surprised me. Even when they were children, I could tell something like that. Even though with my own love life, I wandered around in circles for so long. With Lilchan, it was different. But that"s precisely why I was worried."

Present
He doesn"t get love. No matter how many definitions he hears, he probably won"t be able to comprehend it. When Sumire-san explained it to him, a part of him was relieved. He was relieved. If Sumire-san said that love doesn"t have to be defined and that the words Lila used then was ordinary, then it meant he doesn"t have to find an answer too. It meant he could get away with it.
"I wonder what sort of relations.h.i.+p we have for you to ask me that?"

She was testing him, Lila didn"t know why she was. But when she saw how serious he was and yet desperate at the same time, Lila wanted to bully him a bit. Naturally, after she said these words, Haruka sighed, "I"m your husband and your my wife."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Lila liked how he didn"t have to think about it. She liked that he replied to her right away, Haruka truly is a fool at times.
.....
High Seeds Records Conference room.
Haruka looks so handsome. Lila stared at her husband. After what happened earlier, Lila thought he would be angry at her. But, instead of anger, he kissed her a lot and well, "Take responsibility," huh? Haruka always touches her a lot. Before she dismissed it as him being a pervert, but now there is certainly something different.
Did Yori leave because she heard enough? She didn"t even stay for the briefing. A deep sigh escaped her lips, "Was it weird, should she not have said anything?" Lila thought. Then again, it"s better, to tell the truth than a lie. Lila wondered what s.h.i.+chiro thought of it too; it looked like he had something important that he wanted to tell her. Maybe she should have stopped Haruka?
But, Haruka looked so uneasy. She glanced over at him again, is he okay now?
"Are you listening?"
"Ah—yes?"
Rinna sighed, "She was ogling you."
Lila turned red, and Haruka"s lips curve to a smirk. Gahhh, how come she got caught staring? Besides, she isn"t ogling him anymore; she was thinking about serious things.
"Lila, come over here. Sit beside me."
She shyly made her way over, and Haruka wrapped his arms around her shoulders, not after kissing her lips. It was a brief kiss, but it made her entire body burn up. Haruka quickly drew back and wore his usual work expression.
"Regarding the event. This would be a better venue."
Lila, however, couldn"t focus at all. His hands wrapped around her shoulders, and she could smell him. Lila learned about her scent fetish. Before Lila could fantasize, however, the doors opened.
"Hey, we"re here Lila. Sorry for being late," a familiar voice said. It belonged to Kiryu, he and the other members of the G.o.d5 and the other two G.o.ddess4 members just entered the room.
"Lila isn"t the only one here," Haruka said annoyed.
"I only see Lila."
It was just four short words, but Lila felt herself getting embarra.s.sed. How can he say that so casually? However, this embarra.s.sment faded when Haruka pulled her onto his lap. Wh—wh-?
"Quit staring at him," Haruka murmured against her neck, "You know I don"t like it. Keep your eyes on me."
Isn"t he asking for the impossible? If she continued staring at Haruka, she wouldn"t get any work done at all. Still, Haruka is only acting this way because he"s jealous. Lila smiled and lightly kissed his lips, "Okay, but we have to focus on work?"
"Yeah."
Hearing a cough, Lila"s sweat fell. Oops, she got too caught up in the moment there.
