Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 443 The Journey

"When I first met you, I was just curious about you."

Yosuke Kurusu sat on the sofa, his hands resting on his crossed legs, looking lost in memories.

"Where was that again?"

“Club seata,” Jun Matsueda added.

“Oh right.” The girl nodded. “I went through the wrong passage back then and that’s when I ran into you checking tickets.”

"At that time, the group I was in was on the verge of collapse."

Jun Matsue blinked; he hadn't heard the girl mention these things before.

"Some people are kept by sugar daddies, some keep male escorts, and some sell their bodies to get fans to spend money—anyway, they are all a group of people with no future."

"At that time, I no longer wanted to stay in the troupe, and Songzhi's appearance made me more determined."

"Do you know why?" Kurusu Yosei gently kicked him with her leg, a small gesture that the girl often made at home.

"Why?" Jun Matsuoka asked.

As he listened to the girl's story, his heart calmed down for a moment.

"Because the guy checking tickets is so handsome!"

“I had already started to hesitate before I met you—because I had no connections, I could only look for the lowest-level agencies, which were either rotten to the core or lacked resources, and it would take too long to get ahead.”

“In this situation, wouldn’t anyone consider going astray?” Kurusu Yosei said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Although much time has passed, Jun Matsueda's heart still tightened—the heretical path the girl spoke of, her former teammates were the best examples.

"So I was super surprised when I met you!"

The girl changed her sitting position, placing her hands on the sofa and bringing her upper body close to the boy's face.

"Someone with such a face is actually working there as a ticket inspector!"

"Since you work in performance venues, you must have met talent scouts and agents, and you must have been tempted by them."

"If you want to, you can certainly become a top idol like me, or at least a celebrity who can easily make money."

"But someone like you is working as a ticket collector!"

As if she had said something very funny, the girl's shoulders trembled and her legs swayed back and forth.

“What’s so funny? I wasn’t even an adult back then.” Jun Matsue took a sip of the barley tea on the table.

"So what if you're underage? There are still plenty of ways to make money with your looks!"

After laughing for a while, Laiqi Youse straightened up and looked at the balcony behind the boy. The weather was clear tonight, and the stars were twinkling.

"So when I see you like that, I know there are still people like me who persist in things that seem ridiculous to others."

“I made up my mind to leave that group and used the last bit of money in my account to pay the penalty for breach of contract. Staying there was no different from slow suicide, so I might as well find a new company sooner.”

"The so-called invitation to date is just an excuse—because of what my mother said, because of her interest in you, and because she has already made up her mind to back out, that's why she asked you if you wanted to date."

"But if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have left the group that night, and I wouldn't have moved into this apartment."

Fate is interconnected, the girl said with her exceptionally beautiful eyes.

Jun Matsue looked at the barley tea on the table, thinking at the time that it was just a girl's whim.

"And then?" He wanted to hear more of the story.

"Moving in here was purely a coincidence." Yosei Kurusu patted the sofa he was sitting on. "But I was very surprised to find that you were my roommate. Besides, I really didn't have much money left after paying the rent. Without your help, I could only afford to take out a loan to buy the cosmetics for my interview with the talent agency."

"Actually, I think you could have been selected even without makeup."

Jun Matsueda couldn't help but make a comment.

He felt as if he had returned to the days when he first started sharing an apartment with the girl. Although it wasn't easy, it was certainly full of fun.

"You can't have that kind of mentality!" The girl waved her hand. "Even if it's just a small interview, you have to give it your all!"

"Yes, yes." The boy nodded.

"There's not much to say about what happened next—signing with a company, joining a new group, then being selected for a new project, and officially debuting."

“Pine branch.” The girl’s face was close to his again. “Perhaps you think that I have been very successful and confident in my progress.”

"But my dream only started to take off after I met you."

Matsueda Jun blinked. Kurusu Yosei was too close; he could even feel the girl's eyelashes trembling—those incomparably beautiful eyes were right in front of him, their colors swirling like the Milky Way.

"You say I don't understand love or liking someone, maybe I really don't, after all, I don't have any problems with my mom."

"But I know that if you have a girlfriend, I would definitely want her."

When did this idea first come to you?

"At first I was wary of you—it was my first time sharing an apartment with a guy, and I only felt at ease after I realized you didn't try anything funny or your eyes weren't wandering around."

"Then I tried to tempt you every now and then to see your reaction, but you always seemed so relaxed and collected, it's really annoying!"

"Later, you watched me perform in my new group, have my debut performance, appear on TV shows, go to album stores together, experience dating, and record songs."

"I'm a normal girl too! Of course I'd be interested!"

"And you are the only person I have ever met who not only supports me but has never asked anything of me."

That's why I'm willing to live here with you forever!

Yosuke Kurusu pressed his hands against Jun Matsueda's head and rammed his forehead against Matsueda's.

“I originally thought we could take it slow, so I was a little greedy—thinking that at least I would have enough say in the company, and my relationship wouldn’t be put on hold so I could focus on winning you over.”

"And yet you actually started the conversation on your own without saying a word!"

"You always seem so at ease in front of me—but if you show even a little bit of interest in me, I'll definitely try to control you!"

"I'm scared too—if you really don't like me, can we still happily live together like this?"

"Hmm?" The girl made a cute nasal sound, looking at him intently.

Give me a straight answer!

Matsueda Jun remained silent for a moment, then removed the hand that Kurusu Yosei had placed on his shoulder and did not look into the girl's eyes.

"I already have a girlfriend."

Senior, please come back soon.
