8:00PMOh, there she is, Haruka tapped her shoulder, and she started screaming, realizing that he must have startled her, he speaks up quickly, "Lila, it"s okay, it"s me."
Lila turned around, despite the darkness of the night he could see the fresh tears in her eyes. Was she scared?
"Haruka," Lila sobbed.
His eyes went wide when she suddenly buries her head on his chest, "I lost my way, and it"s complete pitch black in this forest. I tried walking back where I came, but ended up taking the wrong path every time and got even more lost. And then there"s the flas.h.i.+ng; I thought they were wild animals. "
So she was scared. Many people would comment that someone like her surely would have nothing to fear about with her strength. But Haruka knows his girlfriend very well; she"s prettier when she"s crying, huh? But this position is somewhat bad for him. Haruka coughs, "Can we talk after we get down?"
She not only had buried her head, but her legs were wrapped around him; yes, she had somehow climbed on to him. Her cheeks turned red in embarra.s.sment, and she quickly scrambles down, "Sorry, I was slightly afraid. .."
"I don"t mind; you"re cute when you cry."
Haruka extends his hand out, "Alright, let"s go back."
….
To trip on her landing is exactly like her, so Haruka was more or less prepared to end up in this position. She may be an idol, but she"s still as clumsy as she was when they first met each other. Lila got off him when she suddenly buries her head back, "There"s something glowing in the forest."
"Something is glowing?" he repeated.
Could it be -- it"s not unusual? After much debate, he got the girl off him, and the two of them headed in the direction of where she saw the light. Lila was taking careful steps behind him as he bent down and searched the gra.s.s.
"Harukkun, careful."
Haruka stood up properly, "It"s nothing to be afraid about Lila. They"re winter fireflies." Haruka said, extending his hand out.
"Fireflies?"
The one in the palm of his hand started to glow; and he could see his girlfriend"s eyes light up with child-like innocence, the fear being dispelled with such a bright expression. As the one left his palm, Haruka notices the others come out lighting the entire forest with a bright blue.
"So beautiful."
His eyes widened when Lila started to run around and dance. She"s so beautiful. The winter fireflies are indeed a sight, but right now, the only thing he can see is her.
An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circ.u.mstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break. He wasn"t a person who believed in anything supernatural, let alone talk about fate. However, when he heard that phrase said for some reason he couldn"t deny it. He couldn"t deny it. When he thought about it that way, he began to realize that perhaps if he did believe in the notion of destiny. Then the one he would be connected with would be one person.
From the very start, he had already chosen her.
"Lila, careful you might trip."
"I won"t be clumsy today! Since I"m trying to look my pretties for you."
Prettiest eh? "So were those tears calculated to? You know I get turned on seeing a guy cry."
"Haruka, don"t ruin the moment."
Haruka only laughs at this, moment, huh? Really, she"s spoiling him too much with her beauty and love. Back then, she was already so beautiful in his eyes despite her only being slightly above average. Now that she"s blossomed into a young woman, that above-average beauty has blossomed also. Even as pretty as she is, she still tries her hardest to look prettier for him.
Lila, doesn"t she know? He didn"t fall for her because of her looks; but even if he says that she will still continue doing her best for him.
Haruka saw the girl turned silent. He walks up to her, "Something wrong, Lila? Are you cold?" Haruka asked. It is pretty chilly despite the slightly warm weather these days. It doesn"t change the fact that its winter.
"Aha, I didn"t say anything ...and yet your already wrapping your coat around me."
"You get sick easily, remember? You have to take better care of yourself."
Lila smiled, "You know a lot about me. I"m a bit surprised."
Haruka averts his gaze seeing that tender expression. How is it possible that she"s able to switch from having such a childish look, to such a mature one? It felt like his heart is being pulled along and played with at times, and yet whenever this person conveys her feelings. Anyone is able to tell that it"s genuine.

"That the stars look exceptionally beautiful today. So I was looking at them. But it occurred to me... that they"ve never filled me with this much wonder before. And I realized that it"s because I"m so blessed to have you by my side Harukkun. That"s why the stars look so much more beautiful to me."
He"s speechless old man. She never runs out of ways to express how much she loves him.
"Lila, take a little break?"
Lila nodded, and he leads her to sit down on the gra.s.s by the river bank. No sooner had they got there though, he pushes her against the wall. She seemed surprised and yet nodded approving as his hands descended on her cheeks.
She"s so red, despite the darkness of the forest, the one thing that"s clear to him is the beautiful shade of red dawning on her cheeks. Haruka"s fingers brush across her pretty lips, the deep markings from the day before still evident. Another sign that they are connected with each other.
Although unlike her, he can"t do anything but caress and touch her to show his affection. He wants her to understand that whenever he does this; he wants to convey how much he loves her.
"Harukkun?"
"Mmmm?" Haruka was only half-listening since he was thinking of ways to get her stripped of her clothes. Haruka shook his head, "Idiot," he cursed in his head. Don"t think about such stupid things. Lila would surely hate him if he kept this up.
....
P Hotel
When he wakes up in the morning before her, he kisses her forehead softly as he gently removes her hands of him. Haruka didn"t know how he managed to get her to the hotel, especially after hearing her response to his "I love you. "He barely remembered what happened afterwards.
The images were blurry, and his head was burning at the memory. He only remembered her smell, her taste, her flushed cheeks as he kissed her.
Haruka sighed quietly at the sweet memory; her concert is later at night, so she definitely has to spend the morning working. He made his way over to the small kitchen area and started to cook up some breakfast. They could both eat with everyone else in the longue, but he would rather spend time eating breakfast with her nestled in his arms.
If he closes his eyes, the memories of their time together haunted him. Her smell, her eyes, her taste, and her loud moans were imprinted in his brain. They only kissed and yet she reacted like that. What will happen if he were to do more with her?
Man, what is he going to do when he has to leave her? How is he going to survive? If he hurries up, maybe finish up in a years time, then it might be okay. But even then 360 days without her saying his name cheerfully, or basking in her scent is going to kill him.
His thoughts broke when he feels a pair of small dainty arms wrapped around his back, a chuckle escaped his lips, hearing her m.u.f.fled attempts at conversation, "Found Haruka."
she mumbles.
"Morning," Haruka turned around. This was the first time he spent a night out without returning to Sophia. It suddenly struck him that she would be angry. However, when he saw Lila just now that vanished, "Do you have a hat or something?"
Haruka realized how stupid he was bringing her to a hotel, especially with her career rising. But last night all he could think of was how much he wanted her.
Far too careless, what if somebody spotted them?
"I do sungla.s.ses too…"
So she"s prepared at least, "Wash up. I already ran the water."
They should leave quickly. It"s still early, so n.o.body should notice them at this time, right?
…
Haruka doesn"t know how he manages to get her out. But he knew that the paparazzi were following them. He quickly sent a message to Zane and turned to the girl who was fast asleep in his car. Why are they focusing on Lila so much, when there are so many other stars that would bring them money if they bring in a scandal about them?
..
When they arrived at her house, he saw silver hair was leaning on the door frame.
"Ah! It"s Kiryu!!" Lila suddenly bolted awake.
Just now, when he touched her cheeks, she didn"t react at all. But all it took was sensing Austin Kiryu"s presence. As expected, even now he is still no match for this man. Haruka opened the door for Lila and Lila sprung out, she immediately lands in Austin Kiryu"s arms.
"Silly girl, how dare you spend the night out."
"It"s okay, Kiryu; I had Harukkun."
"And he brought you to the place that would damage your image the most. Your lucky Hisame-san was around; he bribed the reporter."
"Un, I"ll thank him later."
So, that"s why that reporter left like that.
"Haruka? Do you want to come inside?"
Huh? Austin Kiryu seemed to understand and nodded, "I"ll buy some groceries."
"Thank you, Kiryu."
Lila grabbed hold of his hand and lead him inside. For a fairly large house, Haruka noticed how there weren"t any servants and certain areas seemed dusty. The places that looked clean were areas a child could reach, and Haruka immediately understood. He thought Lila had been living a good life after they parted. But it turned out things with her father are still bad. He did hear about the rumors of Teras.h.i.+ma Yuhi going crazy after his wife disappeared. However, Haruka didn"t think he would neglect his daughter this much.
How much pain has Lila suffered? Yet she still took his hand and smiles for him.
"Harukkun?"
"I"m sorry for putting you in danger."
"No um," Lila laughed, "I don"t mind. I know ...it wasn"t appropriate kissing like that outside and you um...share a house with another person so.." Lila seemed very shy as she mentioned the words kissing.
Haruka almost forgot about Sophia though. But he supposes there was no need to tell her that. Haruka brushed his thumb over the girl"s lips, "Lila.."
"Um, yes?" she stammered.
"Can I see your room?"
Lila turned red, and she bit her lip before nodding, "Okay, but um I"m keeping the doors open."
Keeping the doors open, but there is n.o.body else but them here. What a silly girl. Perhaps she is expecting something to happen too?
