Dream Star

"Before we do, though, I"ll be honest . I already know about you and Soichiro . "

Sensing Lila"s tone, Yori knew she couldn"t get out of it .

"Were . . working things out," Yori admitted, "The talk we had was kinda rushed since he is a busy person . But after discussing everything, we both concluded that for now, things are alright this way . That and sometimes it"s okay to be different . " Honestly, she really isn"t even sure if she still likes Soichiro . Her guilt aside from what happened before, she isn"t sure if her feelings are still there . But what"s for sure, after he said those words to her, she couldn"t get him out of his mind . The bracelet he had given her for her birthday too .

"Isn"t that good, then? Is it better than nothing right? " Oh, she said the words she"s been wanting someone to say . That it"s okay for things to remain this way for a while longer, "Besides unlike Haruka, Soichiro, an honest guy, you"ll surely get an answer if you talk to him properly . "

"That"s true . Thank you . "

"But really, Soichiro and you?" Lila shook her head, "I almost had a heart attack when I found out . "

Right, for a girl like her who has never thought of love to have a love story with an arms dealer and head of the underworld . It sounds so stupid saying it in her head, let alone other people finding out .

Yori saw maroon-colored before her friend does, and he makes eye contact with her giving her a silent nod as she watched him hug the girl from behind .

"I see how it is . You bad mouth me whenever I"m not around, I"m hurt, Lila . "

"Uwaa Haruka? What are you doing here?" 

"Obviously I"m here to pick you up," Haruka looped his arms against the girl"s waist, "You don"t want me to? "

"Of course, I want you to . Aha, I"m really happy . "

"Mmm . I see . "

A happy couple, huh? She wonders if someone like her can be in a relations.h.i.+p . A proper one . Where she can equally give the other person the same amount of love . But really she spies the brunette brus.h.i.+ng her lips against Teras.h.i.+mas neck . You should take that elsewhere .

. .

Yori decided to leave them for a bit and come back later . But maybe she shouldn"t have bothered to return, when Yori came back Haruka has Lila pinned on the wall, clothing slowly being discarded .

"Haruka, I feel good . . But maybe we should stop a little . "

"Nngh, don"t contradict yourself, babe . "

Yori quickly bolted out without looking back . Woahhh- she did not need to see that .

. .

Yori quickly left, as she thought she really doesn"t understand relations.h.i.+ps . What"s with that seductive air around the two?

__

"Kogami already left . "

Lila lightly pulled him away from her, "What do you want?"

"I didn"t want her to overhear our conversation, so," Haruka"s lips brushed against her ear . "I"m invited to a banquet Zane is holding remember?"

"Ah-huh . "

"Come with me?"

Lila smiled, "En, of course, I"ll come with you . I won"t let them harm my Haruka . "

"I"m yours"" eh, that"s the first time you"ve said "My Haruka . ""

"That"s because I don"t want you to get conceited," Lila leaned forward and brushed their lips against each other, "Nnghh, I love you, Haruka . "

A chuckle escaped his lips, "Your so cute . Why are you confessing?"

"Aahh, don"t tease me . "

Lila felt Haruka"s hand on her cheeks, and she tried to avert her gaze, "I wonder why you"re quick to color whenever I touch you . What are you hiding hmm?"

There"s no way she can tell him, "Why did you come here, Haruka, don"t you have work . "

"I saw Aizawa and ditched . "

Ah? Her gaze turned dim, that woman is still at it? She really doesn"t learn her lesson, huh? Lila hugged Haruka tighter, "I"m glad you listened . Runaway whenever you see her . "

"Mmm, I understand my dear wife . So now," he brushed his lips against her ear, "Strip . "

Wait what?!!

"I just told you no," Lila said, a frown appearing on her face .

"Oh, it seems you misunderstood . You"re injured, aren"t you? Let me see the wounds," despite how kindly Haruka said it . Lila felt his menacing aura .

Her sweat fell, "busted, already?" It surprised Lila that Haruka figured it out after all Yori didn"t notice .

"Uh, I feel kinda nervous . Let me close the lights," Lila turned to the light switch .

"Sometimes, you forget that we are hanyous . Or maybe you"re using that excuse, though our vision is good in the dark . We can"t detect severe wounds?"

Gahh, there"s no way out of this, huh .

Lila found herself removing her s.h.i.+rt completely, as Haruka treated the wounds on her back . Honestly, it"s not like she actually got hurt fighting . But, more like they used a dirty trick . "That beam hurt," Lila thought . She shuddered when she felt Haruka"s cold hands on her back .

"You can"t keep getting yourself hurt, your back wound from last year still hasn"t healed . "

"I"m sorry . "

"You"re always acting careless, that"s why your friends over here are very worried about you . They even think you jumped into the relations.h.i.+p with me without thinking . "

"Ah?"

Haruka sighed, "I guess you didn"t hear about it . "

Lila frowned, "Who said that?"

"Relax, I"m not mad . Even though I thought the same . "

"Dummy," Lila lectured, "How come you didn"t notice my mixed signals?" She was always blus.h.i.+ng and stuttering around him . How come he didn"t notice this at all?

"I thought you just turned red easily . "

Is this guy some sort of idiot? Wait, she knows he is . Lila deeply sighed, "I"ve liked you for the longest time, and the more time with each other, the more I realized that I couldn"t go back to Kiryu . "

"Can"t go back, huh? Then what will you do?"

"I want to leave with you, and then um get married properly . "

"Hmm? Marry, huh?"

What is he thinking? Lila would turn around, but she refrained from doing so . Don"t look him in the eye; he"s most likely thinking something weird again . Lila recalled something Yori said, "Hey, Haruka? Remember when you told me Soichiro and Yori know each other?"

"Hm? Yeah . "

"Then, why did Soichiro go after me?"

Haruka deeply sighed, "I"m sure you can ask her for the details . But, Soichiro does like you and the thing he has with Kogami isn"t serious . "

"But, I feel like he cares for her . "

"Are you really that interested in other peoples love lives? You should focus on your own . "

Focus, huh? Lila turned around, and Haruka immediately cupped her cheeks, "Um . . . Can I put my s.h.i.+rt back on?"

"No," his lips curve to a smile, "Since you turned around, you should know what . "

No sooner had Yori left the building did she see it . Soichiro stood not too far from . "Was he waiting for Lila?" Yori thought . Either way, "Soic--," Yori paused in mid-sentence, and she found herself hiding behind a lamp post .

A girl with fair long hair wearing a gorgeous pink dress stood opposite Soichiro, "When are we having the engagement party? You"ve put it off for too long . "

Soichiro sighed, "Alright, Sat.u.r.day . "

Engagement, that"s right Soichiro is . . .

"Your so unfair Sii-chan . "Like you always leave it to others . Even if there"s something, you want . You just stare at it, looking like you want it . "

"Good for you yet again .

You got what you wanted by just waiting . "

Words Akari told her a long time ago, appeared in her head .

That"s wrong, Akari; she"s a lot worse than that .

- Clinic - 

When Siena next opened her eyes, she sees the familiar ceiling pattern of Eitsan"s clinic . She sat up immediately and was met with Soichiro"s golden-colored eyes . Soichiro was sitting on the chair beside her, book in hands, which he immediately closed when he saw her awake . "W-what? "

 "Don"t get up you couldn"t dodge the hit from behind . "

Somebody attacked her . Although being one of the four princesses meant this stuff happened all the time . It"s certainly been quite a while since it happened .

"Oh-- right .   . Ah, this isn"t good, I should give a statement to the others so they can sort it out," Yori said . Rather, she just wanted to get away from him .

"That doesn"t matter . "

"But . . "

""But what,"" Soichiro said raising his voice . Eh? The caramel-colored haired girl backs away slightly afraid . This is the first time he"s ever shouted like this, "Give me a break, you"re so serious about everything . I"m begging you . Don"t push yourself that hard . "

Oh, he"s shouting because he"s worried . Come to think of it she"s seen something similar to this before . On one of those otome games she plays from time to time, a scenario where the other individual starts shouting at the protagonist because they"re worried . Soichiro isn"t a scary person; he isn"t someone who would shout for no reason .

Yori shuts her eyed before opening them again, " Thanks . .   . " he looked at her surprised, and her cheeks flushed slightly red realizing what she just said, "W-well um you did a lot behind the scenes so .   . .  "

Soichiro wore a sly smirk on his face, "Haha . That makes me sound like the villain . "

Oh, he"s smiling . Yori could not help but smile back, "He he your right . "

 "I"m glad to see you safe Yori . "

Soichiro smiling so very warmly at her . Even though he"s supposed to be the scary overlord, she gripped the bedsheets, "Um . . . -- " feeling a sudden pain in her throat, Yori coughed .

"Oh, hold on .  " Soichiro turned to fetch her some water when she called out to him .

"Soichiro," Yori called out raising her voice slightly, he turned to her right away, "I think I, still can"t get over what happened then . But I really want to get to know you properly this time . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

"Yeah me too . And?"

"I want you to be my side . "

Soichiro deeply sighed, "What"s that supposed to mean? You"re always so serious," he shook his head . Eh, wait he"s shouting? Even though this is embarra.s.sing for her and it took all her will to say these words to him, "Let me tell you something, you have to hide all those feelings and say . . .  "

When Yori felt the warmth of his lips on hers, her eyes widened, "And say that I actually like you .

. . .

Main Street

Yori can"t believe they got kicked out for quote flirting . What kind of doctor is that? Besides they weren"t flirting!

"Soichiro, this is embarra.s.sing," Yori pointed out . A grown woman being piggybacked home, even if she is someone with a pop style image this is humiliating . "You can take me off now . "

"No . "

Why is he being so stubborn for?

"I can walk by myself!"

"Says the person who fell right into the ground .  " Soichiro trails off, "Besides since I finally got hold of you, I"m not letting go . "

Yori is really glad that he can"t see her face right now . Gee, what"s with that? He"s way too honest .  "Fine then . . . " He really is a fool . But those words just now make her feel happy .

"Now be quiet . "

"Soichiro, you know I began believing in fate . "

"Huh?" 

But Yori felt her eyelids drooping, and her eyes closed within seconds . Right now, the person that is next to her is Tasaku . This coincidence  .   . really is a miracle for her .
