Dream Star

If it were up to Haruka, he wouldn"t want to deal with this type of situation. However, he was genuinely angry after seeing Sophia in that state. The two of them already escaped that h.e.l.l of a place, and yet she still got hurt and beat up. It made him feel disgusted. Why do people with power think they can get away with anything? These people, why do they think they can treat human beings as dogs? The way they treated Sophia yesterday was no similar to that of an animal. Just the mere thought of it made his blood boil in more ways than one. Haruka had not realized how angry he was regarding the situation till now.

.....

The last thing Haruka expected was for these two to appear here and stop him. Currently, he was in a spare room. The people who stopped him from killing the man were Lila and Kiryu.

"You damaged your hands," Kiryu said drily. "And your head, you should probably get that checked."

"Kiryu, I"ll help. So you can go on ahead."

"Yeah," Austin Kiryu wrapped his

"You have a fever, don"t push yourself too much."

"En, I understand. I"ll be good."

Kiryu nodded, and Haruka noticed that his gaze lingered on him for a moment before walking away.

"Harukkun, are you okay? It must hurt a lot."

Isn"t she going to ask? Or maybe she overheard the conversation.

"If you kiss me, I"ll feel better."

"Okay! I can do that."

The kiss wasn"t as pa.s.sionate as before, maybe because the girl was worried about his injuries. So Haruka carried her to the couch and pinned her down.

"Hey, don"t hide your face. If you can"t look at the one that"s holding you, there is no point... Let me show you... I"m yours and your mine."

Lila slowly removes her hands, and she panicked, "Wait, I have to ask. Why do you wear your clothes like that?"

Haruka raised his eyebrows and realized that Lila was looking at his naked torso.

"Well, it"s just my style," Haruka lied. Actually, he"s terrible with b.u.t.tons, but he won"t tell her that.

"That"s it, good girl. Lila, I love you."

"Love," he should have used that word too instead of "like." But it still sounded foreign to him.

"There"s no turning back now. I can"t give you up to anyone else, that"s how serious you"ve made me. Being with you is worth leaving the rest of my life behind. So Lila. Please be mine. ..forever."

.......

She"s so beautiful. Just kissing made her pa.s.s out. Haruka gently caressed her hair, and at that moment, Austin Kiryu entered the room. Haruka removed his hand.

"I didn"t know you came to see her last year."

"It was an accident, she lent me her umbrella," Haruka said.

"I see, fate must love you two."

"Don"t be bitter, do you think anything will come out of this? At the end of the day, she will still go back to you."

Kiryu sighed, "Well, who knows. You know there"s a guy she"s close with; lately, I"m having a hard time."

"Is that why you"re fooling around outside? I have to hand it to you; I was surprised. I didn"t expect to see you enter this circle," Haruka recalled the sight he stumbled upon when he found Kiryu, "Get out of this circle, it"s not for people like you."

"Such strange advice. Shouldn"t you use this chance to tell Lila everything?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"She still doesn"t remember me, it"s better that she stays by your side," it pained Haruka to say such words. But he isn"t an idiot; he knows better than to get involved with Lila properly now.

"Then, why did you come here to STAR town?"

"I have work to do here," Haruka mumbled, "The person who is acting as my guardian asked me to come here."

"Is it dangerous?"

Haruka sighed and shook his head, "Just something minor. Don"t worry about it and focus on Lila."

"That"s what I dislike about you," Kiryu"s glare intensified. "Don"t you understand that deep down Lila has been waiting for you this entire time?"

"But she doesn"t remember yet. It would be useless to be together with her now."

"But she likes the current you. Even if she doesn"t remember the past, doesn"t she like you now?"

"We only had a short time together, do you expect me to think that she is serious?"

At that comment, Austin Kiryu grabbed hold of his collar and pinned him against the wall. "b.a.s.t.a.r.d, take that back. How dare you make fun of her feelings?"

This guy got stronger; he must have been working hard for Lila"s sake.

"I don"t have to; she"s only confused. She seems to be very troubled by you lately. Whenever she is, she tends to latch on to the first person she sees."

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, take those words back right now."

"I won"t."

Before any more words could be exchanged, they hear a familiar voice.

"Nm. Why are you two fighting?" Lila was half awake, rubbing her eyelids.

"Were not, you look ugly when you wake up."

"Che, your acting like a bully," Lila pouted.

Ugly? Is this guy stupid? Or does he really think that insulting her will make her like him?

She looks cute with her bed hair…

"Harukkun, why are you staring at me?"

Haruka looked away, "Can"t let her know," his cheeks were very red right now. To his surprise, Lila grabbed hold of his hand and peered over. Soft laughter escaped her lips.

"I see, en. Thank you."

… He"s speechless. What does he say to that?

"Lila, you have to go up now. Already delayed things for you."

"Ah, I got it. Harukkun, are you still free?"

"Huh, yeah." He has no more s.h.i.+fts for now, and Sophia is busy today, too, "I"ll stay and watch."

…..

Her singing is..

"You made some mistakes."

Lila blushed, "Oh, uhh. I have a problem when reaching certain high notes. I can hit them, but it"s hard to stabilize it, so my voice wavers off at some point."

So, she"s at least aware of the problem, "Should I teach you?"

"Really? I asked Kiryu, but he"s always stingy about it."

"You can just ask me," Haruka murmured and kissed her forehead, "I"ll teach you."

Lila looked at him, embarra.s.sed, "Um…" She fiddled with her hands, shyly, "Okay."

"Lila, you were here too?" a voice called out. Haruka looked over and spotted a man with blonde hair.

"Senpai!" Lila said happily, "Ah, are you stalking me again?"

"Who is stalking? Wait again…"

"Aha."

Haruka stared at the sight with wide eyes. Is this the man who was

"Who is this?"

"Her boyfriend."

Lila"s cheeks turned red, "Wait..you."

Haruka grabbed hold of her hand, "You promised, remember?" If he"s going to go along with this trial, he might as well claim to be her boyfriend.

"B..boyfriend? Is that true?"

Lila took a deep breath and clung to his arm, "Right, this is my boyfriend, Haruka."

The pale blonde haired man looked like he was going to pa.s.s out. Haruka almost felt sorry for him.

"Do you love him?"

"Yes, yes, I do. I love him."

...hold it, what?

....

"You love me?"

"S--sorry, I just said that because of the situation. But err," Lila looked down nervously at her feet, "It"s not that I dislike you, I"ve been thinking about you a lot since we met and um um…."

She"s so nervous, Haruka sighed and flicked her forehead. "Don"t worry about it too much; I do understand, you know?" Despite what it looked like, he was a pretty understanding guy. Like he told Austin Kiryu, Haruka understood that this was temporary.

He doesn"t expect anything to come out of it. So Sophia panicking the other day caught him off guard. Haruka thought she of all people would understand. But it seems like Sophia is misunderstanding something already.

Haruka took Lila"s hand in his, "Shall we take a walk?"

Her gaze softened, "Okay!"

...

His gaze fell on the woman skipping merrily ahead of him. She"s really beautiful, d.a.m.n. This caught him off guard. He didn"t think that he would actually run into her here. Haruka purposely chose places he knew she wouldn"t come too, and yet he still met her. Maybe it"s like what Austin Kiryu said. Destiny likes them now. For him to meet with her two years in a row is nothing short of a miracle. To think they can spend time with each other like this. It really is nothing short of a dream.

Warm.

His heart was forever warm when he thought of her. Lila... The endearing nickname he had bestowed upon her brought the smallest of smiles to his features, his ocean blue eyes seeming to twinkle in amus.e.m.e.nt as he thought of her and all her little quirks.

And yet, even if he thinks of her so fondly now.

Things are already over between them.

He shuts his eyes, recalling the words he said to her that day.

"You changed it, changed the world I was living in and the shackles of fate that bound me to a cursed fate. You made the people who became dear to me so very happy too. But you also changed something greater than that, you saved and changed me."

"From the moment I met you, you interested me. You were different and always filled with surprises; I could never guess what you would do next. You"d always have me on the edge of my toes - antic.i.p.ating. You always helped anyone who needed a helping hand. You would always do your best to make them happy. Even though you were also suffering yourself, you"d prioritize them first. And that day on my birthday, you made me understand what was the most important to me.

That day I was different, that is the person I usually am, the "real me." Your the only one I intend to show that too. But things changed. That very moment, however, is still so very important to me; it was the night you saved me from despair. I was very happy after so many years of pain and despair. It ended because you lit up my world."

Those words he never intended to tell her; the ones he always meant to keep to himself. In the end, he said them. He never thought the day would come when he could say those words. But he knew the second he said them, then everything would change. That the day he told them he could finally let her go. Because from the very beginning, our colors were never a match. He knew from the very minute he met her and got involved with her, and yet he didn"t back away.
