With stars sparkling in her pretty pink eyes, Yue jubilantly hopped and skipped while stringing along with her. Perhaps, if not for clasping her hand on mine and keeping her close to , she would’ve sprinted away long ago, leaving in the dust.
Her excitent was off the roofs. Like a bird that had just been let off her cage, soaring through the skies with her newfound freedom.
“This is fun, Ruki! Co along with !” She exclaid while pleasantly laughing.
Watching her hop like a bunny and twirl around as though she’s in grassland with the spring breeze gently blowing on her, I found myself more srized by her. If I failed to keep it together, I would be joining her with what she’s trying to do.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that. I had to look after her as we walked the streets this deep in the night.
I know. Her life for the past year must’ve been tough. Tougher than I can imagine. I an, for her to sneak out that night, she must’ve been too stressed out from being cooped up in her unit.
And if I’m not wrong, as her popularity gradually grew to what it was today, her freedom to walk the streets in broad daylight beca limited. I doubt she even had the chance to go anywhere she wanted to without anyone following or accompanying her.
Her sweet reprieve was possible only when she was at ho, resting.
“Mhm… We should do this more in the future. Whenever you sneak out, I’ll take you on this kind of relaxing walk.” I said as I kept up with her pace.
Hearing that, Yue turned around to face , stopped in her steps and energetically nodded. “Yes! I’d like that!”
Even without the glamor that Yue projected whenever she was performing in front of the crowd, the happiness written on her face alone was making her shine in front of .
Although contradicting how I am too possessive towards most of my girls, especially Akane, I still found myself having no motivation to pull her out of the lilight she managed to grab for herself.
She could be the famous singer Mabushisa Asahi for her fans while Sakurai Yue would be mine alone…
Uh… I guess that’s also so kind of possessiveness, huh?
Around ten minutes later, we arrived at our house. Yue was still as energetic as ever at the front door, excited for this night as well as eting Akane, Miwa-nee and Minoru.
She’s grateful to Akane for giving her hope to reconnect with back then… Inviting her to that group. Even if she didn’t join because of her big break, Yue appreciated it.
As for the mother and son, having heard everything about my past and the changes in , she’s like the other girls who wanted to thank Miwa-nee as the origin of my desire. And even though there’s no confirmation, she probably already guessed Minoru’s identity. She found the boy adorable and wanted to spoil him.
Too bad for her, the boy was already asleep when we arrived. I waited until 9 PM before picking her up after all. And our return trip took more than an hour because I intentionally slowed down our pace to let the girl enjoy the peaceful night as we walked down the streets.
With that, she only t Akane and Miwa-nee who welcod her with an amiable smile on their lips.
Akane even acted like a fan of Mabushisa Asahi, sticking close to her as soon as Yue took off the wig and other disguising accessories that Ririka provided.
Miwa-nee, on the other hand, acted like an adult at first. But when Yue approached her with her bright pink eyes conveying her gratitude, the mature lady instantly looked at for rescue.
She never wanted to be thanked for that, after all. Even until now, she’s only keeping her guilt contained.
In any case, seeing Yue fit right in even without doing anything, I simply watched my three lovely won as they talk, laugh and enjoy this night together.
Later on, I carried the sleeping Minoru to their room and waited for Miwa-nee there.
While we spent our ti together, we also talked about that plan for this weekend and her preparations for it. I thought I could still help her with it but everything was already set. We only have to wait for the day to arrive.
Hearing her talk about it enthusiastically, I knew that suggesting an outing with her was the right choice. It successfully diverted her mind from her upcoming return to that house.
Because I still wanted to help Miwa-nee, I actually asked my parents if they could tell about the family she was married to.
My father instantly rejected . Saying there’s no point in knowing. And although my mother had the sa sentint, she assured that there was nothing wrong with that family.
She even reminded that even though what the man did – neglecting the mother and child – was morally wrong, it’s hard to bla him.
It’s already great that he only shunned them upon picking up the fact that Minoru isn’t his…
Well, I understood his reason. He’s entitled to react like that. But as a petty guy, I couldn’t help but bear hatred towards him… Just with the simple fact that his actions resulted in Miwa-nee being depressed and Minoru thinking that his father doesn’t love him…
Haa… As if I could do anything to him at this point…
Perhaps noticing my worsening mood, Miwa-nee’s warmth soon wrapped around , pampering like before.
In this way, I dropped the depressing thought, cald down, and willingly surrendered to her embrace. And soon enough, I returned the warmth and affection she’s giving . I even doubled it and spoiled her with the sa enthusiasm I showed to my other girls.
Around half an hour later, I returned to the living room and found Akane and Yue watching so late-night show, clearly waiting for .
As soon as they spotted , they opened up a space between them which I naturally took.
A mont later, the two girls comfortably rested on my shoulders as we all watched the show on TV at the sa ti as they filled in on what they discussed while I was away.
“Wait… You’re going to release a duet song. And Miho will be responsible for the music?”
As I repeated what I just heard from them in a surprised tone, I noticed Akane and Yue burst into candid giggles before looking at each other, their expressions showing how amused they were.
Even without words, I understood what they had just communicated with each other. ‘See? I told you. He’s going to react like this’ and ‘Yep, you’re right.’
“Your fault for taking your ti with Miwa-nee. We already finalized it, husband.” Akane smugly declared as she lifted her phone, showing Miho’s reply, agreeing to what they proposed.
“Isn’t it wonderful, Ruki? Three of us will create and dedicate a song to you.” Yue added, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.
Uh… Aren’t your songs already dedicated to ? I retorted in my mind.
For them to decide it in less than an hour was nothing short of amazing… They’re too powerful, aren’t they?
“Don’t worry, husband, I will remain anonymous. And the song will not be released standalone. Yue said she’s going to add it to the album that will be made out of her new song for you.” Akane added another detail while Yue made a peace sign while smiling proudly.
“… Alright, are there any other surprises?” Giving up on making up another retort in my mind, I raised another white flag and listened to the two girls fire the other surprises they stored for .
Yep, these girls are amazing…
