After what happened, Haruka didn't expect Lila to still go on that date with him. He could tell how badly the state of her body was. Honestly, he didn't want to go once he realized how weak she was. However, Lila insisted on going. They were at the art museum.
"Wah, look Haruka.."
".."
"I'm sorry— is this boring for you?" Lila asked, concerned.
Haruka shook his head, "No, you searched my tastes well." He did this when he had free time. While his life mainly revolved around work and women- scratch that, the boss orders. Occasionally he would go to places like this. It helped him relax.
Lila laughed softly, "Um, that's good."
He gently cupped her cheeks and lightly kissed her. Lila's cheeks reddened. Once he finished, Haruka pulled away, "Thanks."
"Um, is that how you're going to thank me from now on?" Lila asked.
"huh?"
"B—because if it is, I'd like a confirmation."
So if he confirms it, what will she do? He nodded. Haruka watched her reaction for a few minutes before pulling her into his arms, "Your cute Ari."
"H—Haruka, um wait a minute p—people."
"This is affection on a moderate level I believe."
Lila shyly nodded and wrapped her arms around him. "Haruka, I'm very happy."

"Gag."
Ameno chuckled at Huan's reaction to Jae-hee's reaction to Lila and Haruka. The three were sitting in the cafe on the second floor.
"How do you feel big bro?"
"Damn that Haruka, get your hands off her. I know she's cute but.."
Ameno sweatdropped, it looked like he was holding that in for a while now. "Why not show yourself?" Ameno teased.
Huan sighed, "Do you think I'd be hiding if I could."
"Indeed."
Jae-hee turned to Huan and frowned, "Well when I heard the irregularities of your death. I figured something was amiss. But huh...Lila's brother."
"To be exact her half brother. But yeah, isn't it strange how fate plays out?" Ameno said.
"Forget fate. This is just far too messy. I mean the two are dating now. If Haruka finds out the connection, I'm not sure whether he would…"
"Well, on that part. There's no need to worry. Right? Karashima passes the test."
Huan stood up and walked over; he leaned on the edges, "Yeah, I can tell. He cares about her. There's no need to worry."

When Ameno left, Huan turned to the grey hair girl. "I have a favor to ask."
"Yumeko?"
"I don't know why, but were still connected. So I can tell that right now her present state isn't good. That day, she was going to meet Haruka and confess her feelings." Huan said.
Jae-hee nodded, "Yeah, I saw the messages."
"That's why right now her heart is unsettled. She never told Haruka."
"I don't think that's the main reason. Tell me something, isn't her connection with you still there because of your feelings and hers.."
Huan smiled weakly, and he shook his head, "Right now, there's someone I love more than anyone.."
"I heard you'll be married next month."
"Yes."
Jae-hee sighed deeply, "Should you marry when you have yet to.."
"That's why I'm here now. With Ameno around, there was no need for me to come all the way out to England." Huan played with the cup in his hands, "But, this matter, I need to settle it. It looks like it's affecting her performance too."
"Did you see?" Jae-hee asked.
Huan nodded, "Yume-chan's dream, even now I understand it well. It may have developed because of my sister. But, she still wishes to become a great idol. At this rate, she will fall before she rises.." He doesn't want to be the reason she falls.
"I'm not sure how my sister will take this. But I'll need you to create opportunities for those two. They need to talk, a long talk too and spend time together." Huan added.
"I'll see what I can do, but no promises. Lila is possessive, she doesn't show it much. But it's there."
_______________________________________________
She thought it was just her imagination, but she felt her brother's presence. Sure enough, when she looked up Lila noticed him, he even waved at her. Her cheeks puffed into a pout if he was around. He should have told her, and she seldom gets to meet with him. Jae-hee is there and also... 'Ameno is here.' That idiot. Lila refused to meet with him.
Still, she should meet up with brother soon. Lila didn't think he would come here to England. While she isn't sure of his intentions, she should meet up with him.
Her thoughts broke off when she felt something cold pressed against her cheek, "Wah--"
"Why are you spacing out? I'm back."
...
"Oh, right!! Haruka."
"Hm?"
Lila takes out the parcel from her bag.
"Shouldn't this stuff be given at the end?" Haruka said.
Lila laughed. "But then the day would be over."
Haruka seemed puzzled but nodded. He put's the sand which down and opened the wrapping.
"A camera?"
"Ah-huh, I noticed you didn't have one around. I put the batteries in and set everything up, so you can use it right away. So I thought we could make an album of memories!" Lila exclaimed.
Noticing that there was no response, she panicked. Uh, was it a bad idea? To her surprise, Haruka wore a rare smile on his face, "Memories, huh? If it's with you, I'd like to create some…" he trailed off, "Did you make this album yourself?"
Lila didn't know why but she felt her face turn red, "Y—yes."
"Yeah, it's well made."
Thump. Thump. Why is her heart beating so fast? Lila looked at his expression. Is it because this is the first time she saw such a gentle expression on his face? Lila didn't know Haruka could smile like this. She wants to touch him.
Haruka noticed her staring, "What?"
"Ah—I know! Let's take a picture together."
"I don't mind. But now?"
She agreed him with him, this is an awkward location. But, they still haven't finished eating. Lila didn't want to wait until they finished either. She needs to change the topic quickly before she does anything strange. Lila took a seat next to Haruka and lifted the camera. Before she could click the shutter though, Haruka pulled her into his arms.
"Wh-" Lila said startled.
"Isn't it a couple photo? We should be close."
T—that's true. But if they're this close, she will think odd things again. Lila peeked at Haruka's expression and noticed his smile was still there. It's sly of him. She didn't know he could smile like that. But oh well, her gaze softened. This is really nice.
