I am only one world away from Yukinoshita.

As expected, Yukino was already packing her things.

The band seems to be going to a training camp soon, and Yukino is going to participate.

"Why did you leave the group? If it's just because of me—"

"No, it has nothing to do with Asuka."

Yukino did not invite Asuka into the house; the two simply stood by the entrance.

"Then why?"

"Personal reasons."

“It’s personal reasons again,” Asuka said, grabbing Yukino’s shoulder. “You said it was personal reasons when you broke up with her, and now it’s the same with leaving the group. We were lovers for almost five years, don’t you trust me at all?”

For Asuka, breaking up was still painful, but she was even more unwilling to let what was once a beautiful past become a source of future torment for both of them.

"Yukino, you're really all alone..."

How are you doing?

Why does Asuka like me?

"What……?"

“I think we probably fell for each other for the same reason,” Yukino said, a hint of sadness and self-mockery in her eyes. “Asuka likes me because she sees someone in me, right? And so do I.”

Asuka withdrew her hand in shock and instinctively took a step back.

"So now I'm going to go find this person."

"Who is she? Where is she?!"

Asuka gripped Yukino's shoulders even tighter.

"I don't know where she is, I can't find her."

"But her name is Kiyoyori."

This is the one thing she will never forget.

Sunny

I went to London for a performance today, but I didn't run into her. I rode the London Eye, and I had a feeling she might have liked it.

........................................................................

Rainy weather

Today in Vienna, it's beautiful, but unfortunately it's raining, and she doesn't seem to like it much.

………………………………………………………………………

Sunny

I still haven't found her in New York today.

Lately, I seem to get tired easily and have a poor appetite. Jessica suggested that I get a physical exam.

………………………………………………………………………

Sunny

I have cancer.

………………………………………………………………………

When Yang Nai received the call from the hospital, she was still working overtime at the company, but after hearing the contents of the call, she almost fell off her chair.

Yukino was taken to the hospital by her bandmates because she suddenly fainted during practice, which startled everyone.

Similarly, the test results were even more alarming, but she herself seemed quite calm.

"So, you already knew all along?"

With a trembling voice, Yang asked Yukino, who was lying in the hospital bed looking out the window.

"Ah."

"you--!"

Yukino wanted to curse, but looking at Yukino's weak condition, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Actually, I've been undergoing treatment, but the results don't seem to be very good."

If you look closely, Yukino's face is a bit pale after removing her makeup. She is very thin in her hospital gown, and it looks like a gust of wind could blow her over.

Yukino paced back and forth in the ward. "Don't work anymore, go home, Yukino. I'll find you the best doctor."

“Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer. By the time it’s discovered, it’s usually too late, and the prognosis is poor,” Yukino said coldly, as if she were talking about someone else’s problem. “Rather than idly counting down the days until the end of my life, I have one more wish that I haven’t fulfilled.”

"Is there anything more important than survival?"

Yukino swore she had never spoken to Yukino in such a tone.

"some."

"I want to find her."

"Tachibana Kiyori."

Yang almost knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Sunny

Lately, I've been experiencing intermittent lower back pain, and I can no longer continue my work with the band. My sister has been keeping it a secret from my mom and dad, but I'm afraid we can't keep it from them any longer. I have a feeling that day is probably coming soon.

I'm so unwilling to accept that I couldn't find you.

**

The last time I saw Yukino was still in the hospital.

Yang had thought about it, but he didn't dare to.

Since that day, she has been desperately trying to reconnect with Kiyoyori, but the gods seem to have a cruel sense of humor. Even if she can re-establish her connection with Kiyoyori, they cannot meet, let alone reveal Kiyoyori's existence.

She was forced to become mute and could only watch as Yukino searched desperately.

During Yukino's hospitalization, Haruno dropped everything to be with her.

"Yukino, let's make a wish list together. Write down all the wishes you want to fulfill, and I'll help you make them come true one by one."

"it is good."

Yukino smiled gently as she wrote down her wishes one by one. Most of them were things she wanted to do with Haruno when she was little but never had the chance to, or regrets that arose from their estrangement as they grew up.

She only wrote down her wish at the very end.

Because this wish is destined to never be fulfilled.

Let's consider this the ending.

Yukino hid the paper; she lied to Haruno, saying she had lost the wish list.

But at the very last moment, Yukino still held Haruno's hand and shed tears:

"As expected, I still want to see her one more time."

When Yang Nai found that wish list.

She painfully made her final wish to the gods.

I'd give anything to bring Yukino back.

Author's Closing Remarks

This is the first book I've written that's so long and is now finished. First of all, I want to thank all the readers who have been with me all this time. After all, I was inactive for a long time in between. Actually, this book was a product of my own creation because I couldn't find any other material. Of course, the romance was set from the beginning with Yukino, but as I wrote, I discovered the charm of other characters. To be honest, I only just realized that I was able to keep writing for so long. I don't think it's a bad ending, hahaha.

I've seen some readers leave comments wanting to see what happens next, but I can only say that on this platform, it ends here. Some even told me they were looking forward to stories about Qinglai in second and third grade, but writing like this would never end. I like stories to stop at just the right point. (Actually, I just ran out of ideas, hahaha.)

As I mentioned before, there will be side stories, or "what if" scenarios, but they will only be shared in the group as a perk for group members. This is because, aside from the initial promotion during the book's launch period, I haven't updated this book much. When I first released it, I only had a little over 3,000 favorites; now it's almost 7,000. It's purely driven by passion, though some loyal readers have also supported me. However, I'll only update side stories based on my mood, so they won't be very regular. Just let's chat in the group as usual.

I won't say much about the new book here. Anyway, see you again someday!

Bonus Chapter - Us 01

Outside the Tokyo Conservatory of Music, a tall, slender girl stood with headphones on, seemingly listening to music. She swayed slightly, her tall, black hair bobbing from side to side. The weather was getting cooler; although it wasn't quite time to wear a coat yet, the late summer heat had already shown its power. Her boyfriend wasn't one to care much about these things, and it was unclear whether his repeated reminders from the past few days had had any effect.

This is the downside of not being able to live with your lover, but fortunately, your lover's neighbors are a thoughtful couple, and the one who is a junior from high school has promised to take care of her at school.

She glanced at the watch on her wrist; it was still pink, but brand new. It was an anniversary gift from her girlfriend, as her previous watch was too old.

"It should be about time, right?"

She muttered to herself as she took off one earphone and looked around the school gate, but she couldn't see her girlfriend or the two juniors in the same major and the same orchestra.

"Nozomi."

The voice calling from behind was someone she knew well; in fact, Nozomi should be more grateful to them.

"Ah, Yukino!"

Nozomi waved to the other person, "Long time no see!"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yukino stepped forward, her smile subtly revealing her good mood.

How's school?

"No problem!" Ximei gave her friend a thumbs-up and a bright smile, but the dark circles under her eyes, visible beneath the concealer, revealed that she had been frantically rushing to finish her homework last night.

Nozomi attends Chiba University, which is a good school, but it is nearly an hour's drive away from her girlfriend's music university. Their classes never seem to go on schedule, so she can only squeeze in time to come to Tokyo to see her girlfriend. Meanwhile, Yukino, who is a year younger than her, has already started living together with her boyfriend and fiancée. Both of them attend prestigious universities in Tokyo and, with the consent of their families, they started living together the year her boyfriend graduated from high school.

How enviable!

Coincidentally, Ying also left the school dormitory in her second year of university and moved out to become neighbors with this couple.
