Lately, all he"s been doing is showing her his weak side. Does he really want her to stay with him out of such feelings?"Why are you making miso soup?" Haruka asked.
Indeed, the last thing he expected to find when he woke up was the girl using the mini kitchen.
"Because you like it."
"Who did you ask?"
"Mikami-kun."
Geh. Why does that guy know what he likes?
Where did she get the ingredients for it? There"s a kitchen here, but n.o.body really cooks. What"s more...he"s surprised. Mikado is around, and he"s surely watching them and yet ...In the time he was sleeping, didn"t think to hara.s.s her. . . . he"s overreacting, it isn"t time yet.
His thoughts broke of finding the girls gaze on him, "What?"
"It"s okay to hug me."
". .."
He walked over and wrapped his arms around her, inhaling the girl"s sweet scent in the process.
"Normally, you"d say this disturbs you." he murmured against her blue locks. The colour still seemed odd to him; in contrast to the luscious black hair, she had.
"That"s right. But today it"s fine."
"On the phone..earlier..your boyfriend?" He asked, despite knowing already.
"Yes..."
"Does he know?"
"I told him."
....
She really is honest. Normally one wouldn"t say it, but knowing her she must have said it up front. "Sorry." Haruka apologized. The words left his lips before he knew what was going on.
Lila shook her head and turned around, "It"s okay, you were just jealous."
".."
He was.
After all, he"s never seen such a happy expression on her face before.
.
.
"Your interview...I rescheduled it for later."
"Ah, okay. They weren"t suspicious?" Lila asked.
"Well.."
They were. But he wasn"t in the right state of mind to come up with an excuse. His thoughts broke off when he felt the warmth of the girl"s hand on his cheek. She.."Then, we can relax for a bit?"
Haruka paused..."That"s okay with you?"
"Yes."
He pulled her onto the bed.
He found her s.h.i.+fting uncomfortably and stopped, "Shall I stop?"
"No um, I just...feels slightly..."
. . Haruka changes his position; until he was hovering over her, "Haruka..."
"You"re very beautiful..."
..
"Y-yes?"
She seemed confused, he found that cute.
___________________________________________________
Their lips are colliding, mixing together. She"s gotten used to it, the taste of his lips. Is Kiryu really okay with this? Just doing this with Haruka, feels dangerous. She should have just asked him straight up if the two of them were still dating.
Haruka"s mouth is attacking her neck and she stopped thinking, as she noticed that something was wrong.
"Haruka. .what"s wrong?" Lila asked.
"I really was jealous. ."
"I see. .. You"re like a child," she combed his hair with her fingers, "Don"t be jealous...right now, in this place...your the only one I"m close with..."
In this place, she only has him.
___________________________________________________
In this place? But if they went to a place where that guy was?
At that thought, Haruka found himself kissing her more aggressively.
"Unngh!"
"Hahn..."
Haruka paused, seeing the girls reaction. "What?"
"Your voice was loud." Lila said shyly.
That"s such a strange thing to point out... Then again, this whole thing progressed wrong, from the very beginning.
Haruka brought his lips to her ear.
"Haruka?"
"I want to..treat you more especially But it"s still going to take some time. Will you bear with me?"
"Aha, I know. Haruka"s still clumsy at this."
"Aren"t you bad too?"
"That"s right...
.

6:30 PM
Ever since Jaehee said those words to him, he hasn"t forgotten them once. Whenever he gets too deep in his feelings for her. He repeats it to himself. Even if he does get together with her. It certainly won"t have a happy ending, there won"t be a forever.
They safely managed that interview in school.
Despite all their concerns, the reporters didn"t ask about Yumeko and yet...Haruka knows better than to think that they came for a simple interview. Lila is the target and yet. .. something"s wrong. He"s missing something.
"Why do we have to go see them?"
The two of them were on their way to the hotel where they made Yumeko flee to. "Because we have work in that area too for the next few days. So we might as well stay there right?"
"Well ...."
That"s true.
But, he"s not fond of the idea of being so close to Yumeko for the next few days. Will he be alright? After all, he recalled the kiss from earlier and exhaled deeply. Even if he was worked up, what on earth was he doing? His gaze landed on the cheerful girl who was humming a melody. How long must he wait for her? If she makes him wait for too long.. He probably won"t be able to be so nice anymore. "Haruka!"
"What?"
"Look, the lights are so pretty!"
". .Shall we take a quick detour then?"
"Yes!"
______________________________________________________________
Lila is woken up to bright and vibrant light and found the rays of light from outside spread across the room. It"s morning already? To celebrate her upcoming success in the screening selection despite the halt on the music award, they all had a party.
Lila really didn"t see the need to have a celebration before she"s made a formal announcement. However those guys really do use whatever opportunity they can to celebrate, yet she glanced around the room, the majority managed to leave didn"t they. Koutkun isn"t here so he"s gone to work already. The idiot fell asleep on the couch. ..she scanned the bottles leading up to the door. Haruka, is he in the bathroom? Despite how groggy she was feeling; Lila managed to get up and followed the trail. She knocked on the door.
"Haruka," she called out.
She doesn"t hear a sound even after a few knocks and carefully opened the door as she slowly makes her way inside. The blue hair spots him right away curled up and fast asleep on the ground. She bends down and picked up his cigarette pack and emptied it on the ground.
Lila lifted the pack to her nose and catches the scent, what an addicting smell. She supposed she can"t blame him for this. But, she made her way to the toilet and slowly and began to flush it. One by one, it"s fading away. Slowly it"s disappearing and becoming nothing again. It"s just like that time and yet...
Once she was done Lila knelt down and bends over, "Haruka, you"ll catch a cold if you sleep here."
Noticing that he wasn"t budging. She used other means. Her lips brushed against his and she is sure he catches the whiff of her perfume since he stirs in her arms.
"Alright get up, good boy.."
Lila noted that he suddenly buried his head in her chest and she sighed deeply, "Are you a child Haruka?"
"Ari stay with me…" he murmured.
He really is selfish, isn"t he? Guess it can"t be helped, it should be alright for a while. It"s still 5 am. Breakfast, Haruka should get some proper food too. If she leaves after their done here... No, she doesn"t have to leave. She has a day off. They can spend more time together.
"You smell of my cigarettes.….. . ."
"Yes. Because I threw them out just now."
"Those are expensive."
"I"ll get you some new ones."
Ones that haven"t been tampered by anyone.
"Ari.."
"Yes, what is it?"
"Today.."
Lila replied knowingly, "I"ll be with you."
"Work?"
Lila laughed softly as a reply, "Did you forget Haruka? I have today off."
Haruka paused and retraced his memory, that"s right. She has a day off today.
"Shouldn"t you be going to school?" Haruka asked.
"Let me skip with you."
He"s speechless at the girls straight forward comment. Skip? Her?
"If we skip, I"ll attack you." Haruka murmured.
"...um aren"t you already..?"
"..."
Well, that"s true. Skipping it is then.
