Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 294 Different Beds, Same Dreams

"So how's your practice going? Is the band having fun? You haven't been fooling around with other women, have you?"

As soon as Jun Matsugae returned home, he was met with a series of interrogations from Yosei Kurusu.

The handbag in his hand dangled onto the shoe cabinet. Matsueda Jun bent down to change his shoes and looked up at the girl standing guard in the entryway.

"Are they not even letting me go home?"

Upon hearing what the boy said, Kuriki Yosuke dropped his cute, feigned fierce expression, crossed his arms, and walked to the side.

"That's not what I meant!" the girl pouted. "It's all because you wouldn't let me go with you this morning! And you didn't reply to my messages!"

"I was starting to think you'd been recruited to some weird religion!"

After changing his shoes, Jun Matsue walked into the living room step by step. The girl faced him and backed away step by step, her eyes fixed on him.

"Confess! What did you do today?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kurusu Yosei felt herself bump into something. The girl, losing her balance, fell backward and landed on the sofa.

Matsue Jun glanced at the girl who had slumped onto the sofa. Luckily, she wasn't wearing a skirt today, or he would have seen her underwear.

"I didn't go anywhere. I just spent the whole day drumming in someone else's studio. My arms are sore." Jun Matsue sat down on the other side of the small sofa and massaged his arms and wrists.

"I didn't let you come with me because it's your first time, and we don't know what the situation is like at the practice venue."

"I replied to the message a little late because I was rehearsing and didn't check my phone much. The message notification sound was also covered by the music."

"As for the question you asked earlier."

Jun Matsue looked at the girl on the sofa, head down and feet up. She didn't seem to intend to change her position and just kept blinking as she looked at him and spoke.

"Practicing off-campus is definitely a great experience. The equipment and environment are more advanced, and playing the drums in the practice room even gives me a sense of exhilaration."

“Playing drums in a band is much more interesting than playing alone. Everyone can exchange ideas about music.” Although he is usually the one who listens in.

"As for the last thing, philandering," Jun Matsue rolled his eyes at her, "Don't ask such pointless questions in the future."

Yosuke Kurusu rolled over on the sofa, his supple lower body still entangled on the back, looking like a large feline. Seeing the boy answer her question so earnestly, the girl felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

"Are you sure you haven't been flirting with anyone?" She climbed a couple of steps onto the sofa and sat down next to the boy. "You smell like a girl!"

"My teammate is a girl, so there will definitely be some contact between us."

"He's definitely with a bunch of girls again, isn't he! Isn't that just womanizing?"

"..." Jun Matsue had no choice but to show her the group photo that Aya Miyamura had sent. "The lead singer is my sister, the bassist has a boyfriend, and the guitarist is a girl who is passionate about music. She even made it a rule that couples are not allowed to bring their lovers into the band."

"Then does that mean I can't watch you practice?" the girl asked in surprise.

The boy looked at her like she was an idiot. "Cats and dogs are indeed not allowed in the practice room."

"It sounds like we can relax for now." The girl jumped off the sofa and skipped into the kitchen. "What do you want for dinner? I bought a lot of groceries today!"

"You can burn whatever you want." Jun Matsue relaxed and lay down on the sofa. After drumming all day, all he wanted was to rest peacefully.

Tonight's dinner is fried pork cutlet, vegetable salad, and miso soup—a large portion to keep you full. After expending so much energy, taking a big bite of the crispy on the outside and tender on the inside golden pork cutlet is truly a rare treat, and Jun Matsueda decided to eat a few more bites tonight.

"By the way, Matsueda, do you remember that show I told you about before?" Kurusu Yosei picked up a few strands of cabbage with his chopsticks and put them in his mouth. "That entertainment show that invited you? You've decided to participate?" Matsueda Jun put down his chopsticks; this was now a serious topic.

"Hmm, the company has decided to let me do whatever I want, as long as I don't do anything too outrageous. They think that my free rein might be more effective than my carefully crafted persona."

"Is it okay?" Jun Matsueda asked, a little worried. "Some entertainment programs are pretty good at pranks, aren't they?"

“I won’t consider those kinds of shows that are too exaggerated~” The girl waved her hand. “This time it’s an interview and dialogue show, like the ‘Tokyo University Formula’ we watched before.”

Jun Matsueda picked up his chopsticks again. "I guess you're going to invite me to the event next."

“That’s right!” Kurusu Yosei nodded. “Weren’t you there when I went to participate in ‘Idol’s Birthday’ before?”

"We agreed that I would be on stage and you would be in the audience. This time it's a new stage, so you have to come and see!"

Perhaps because of the delicious tonkatsu tonight, Jun Matsue agreed without much thought, saying, "Just tell me the time in advance."

“It’s a promise~” The girl poked him with her chopsticks, “And for your band’s first performance, I’m definitely going to see the pine branches on stage.”

"It's too early. The band has only been formed for a little over a week. They need to practice for another week or two before we talk about it."

"Then can I come and watch you practice?" Yosei Kurusu still hadn't given up. "I'm a professional idol singer now, so I can definitely give Aya-chan some singing advice."

“Hmm,” Jun Matsue thought for a moment, “Then I’ll have to ask my senior first.”

After all, the senior student is the owner of the practice room, although she would probably agree.

"Which senior?" The girl bit into the fried pork cutlet fiercely. "What?! There's a senior here?!"

While Jun Matsueda was busy explaining the existence of his senior to Yosei Kurusu, Yuka Tomatsu was also chatting with her senior.

"So your family is in the music industry, senior?" Tomatsu Yuka was sitting on her bed in the bedroom sending a message to Yamami Maki while her mother was still working overtime in the study next door.

"It's just that my sister is more interested in music." Looking at the reply on her phone screen, the girl sighed, regretting that she couldn't seize this opportunity.

But if the senior student caught it, it's the same as me catching it, right?
Tomatsu Yuka continued to message, "When Matsueda and the others are practicing, can I go and watch? I'm quite curious."

The senior student replied quickly, as if she had already prepared her answer: "Of course, no problem, just let me know when the time comes~"

The girl sitting on the bed breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the large bed. Her senior was still her senior, and her supportive attitude had not changed.

To be honest, when Tomatsu Yuka first saw Matsueda Jun and Yamami Maki standing together in the group photo, she found it quite jarring.

The girl felt betrayed.

This idea makes no sense, Tomatsu Yuka told herself. Her senior and Matsueda had participated in competitions together and were now in contact during the student council election. They were both class presidents and occasionally held meetings, so it was normal for them to have contact.

But when you count them up like this, it seems like they had so many opportunities to interact.
On the other side, Yamami Maki was also sitting on her bed in her bedroom, looking at the window where no new messages were appearing. The girl sighed softly, having passed the first hurdle.

"If Yu-Hana wants to come, let her come," the girl thought, lying on the bed. Anyway, she could see the studio's surveillance cameras and could use the employee entrance. As long as she was careful, there was almost no chance of Yu-Hana discovering her.

At times like these, unnecessary worries prevent one from feeling happy. Am I doing something wrong? Yamami Maki asked herself this question.

The two girls, lying on their respective beds, sighed in unison and stared blankly at the ceiling.
