Third Person P.O.V.

Yume jumps off and is falling down in the air. The falling movement makes her feel a little bit dizzy.  Should she close the eyes and wait for her body meeting the hard ground? When she is losing her hope, she suddenly thinks of a boy with chocolate brown hair.  Subaru kun...  He is the only one she thought when she is going to die. He always stays by her side and saves her many times. Will he feel sad if she die? This strange thought makes her mind clear suddenly.  I cannot die... No! Actually... I don't want to die!  She lightens up the hope in her heart and pulls out a dagger from her bag. By thrusting it into the wall, she succeeds to slow down her speed of falling. 

Scanning around, she notices a window sill near her. After tumbling down to a suitable height, she uses the dagger as a tool to swing herself to the window sill and grabs the edge of it. She ignores her pain from her injured ankle and tries her best to scramble into the room through the window. 

There is no people inside the room. It is a cute room. A bed with light purple flowers quilt is placed near the wall, which is is decorated by lavender purple striped wallpaper. Near the bed, there is a simple wooden desk. All the stationery and books are tidied up and put in a orderly manner. And there is a large wooden bookshelf in the corner. It is full of books. "The Red and the Black",  " The Lady of the Camellias ",  " The Phantom of the Opera " ... She reads aloud the name of the books on the bookshelf.  " She must be a quiet and graceful girl... " She murmurs when touching the books.

Suddenly, she hears some sound from the door lock. Someone is entering. She immediately walk to the door. When the door is opened, she hides behind it and waits for the suitable timing. The girl entered the room has short lilac hair worn in a loose bob. There is a cream-colored flower worn on the right side of her head. She has dual-toned eyes, bearing shades of purple and lilac, and wears a pair of dark pink half-rimmed glasses.   As a whole, she is pretty and looks same age as Yume. 

When the girl is closing the door back, she notices Yume who is behind the door. She is totally surprised and scared by Yume. When she tries to scream, her mouth is covered by the hand of Yume at once. " You better keep your mouth shut! Otherwise, I won't know what will I do to you! " Yume murmurs near the girl's ear when showing her dagger out. The girl nods with frightened eyes. When Yume's hand is removed, the girl pants heavily and takes a look on Yume. Suddenly, she gasps in surprised. Yume notices and gives her a death gaze. " What do you want? " She asks in a frightening and cold voice. That girl shivers in fears... No. She is shivering in excitement. Her suddenly leans in with a pair of sparkling eyes. " Are you Nijino Yume? " She asks with joy. 

They sit down on the bed. " Nice to meet you, Nijino san. " The girl greets politely with a gorgeous smile. Yume gazes at her and feels that her heart is fluttering uncontrollably. She is such a pretty girl... " You... can just call me... Yume... " Yume stutters because of embarrassment. She does not know how to deal with stranger. She can be friends with Laura, Ako and Mahiru since she has the help of Subaru. Besides, unlike Subaru, she gives Yume a feel of relaxation. " Okay! Yume chan! I am Nanakura Koharu. You can call me Koharu too. Aah~~ I am so glad that I can talk with you. " Koharu says with a bright and warming smile. It seems to soften the heart of Yume. " You are famous here. I have watched your performance on the Internet. It is so good and you look so cute. I love it! I am a big fan of you now! " Koharu continues to say her words, which makes Yume blush.

" But... aren't you the student of Venus Ark? I ... have never seen you in the public... " Yume stammers nervously. This seems to be Koharu's weakness. She shows a depressed expression. " Are you feeling well? If I have said something wrong, ... " Yume says when patting her shoulder carefully. She shakes her head, and replies with a smile, " I am fine. It is right that I have never appeared in front of the others. " She stands up and walks a little bit forward. " Yume chan? I think that you can see it from me. I-I am a shy girl... I love idols. They always look sparkling on stage. I want to look like them. Therefore,  I decided to enter Venus Ark to be idol by myself. However, it is very difficult, more difficult than my expectation. I tried my best to overcome them, but the largest difficulty that I could not overcome is ... myself... my shyness... I don't have encourage to perform on stage... Elza told me, if I could not perform in front of the public until this weekend, I have to leave this school... Haha... Am I weak? ... " She turns around to have a look on Yume. Even though there is no tears around her eyes, Yume can surely tell from her face, she is full of sorrow. Her eyes do not have any hope. 

" Yume chan? Are you injured? " Koharu suddenly asks. She points at Yume's leg. Yume looks down. She just notices that her ankle is swollen. " It is not a matter... " Yume replies coldly. " Of course not! Legs are important to idols! How can you not take care of them? " Koharu yells with concern when rushing out her room. After a few minutes, Koharu is back with ice packs and bandage. She kneels down near Yume's legs. She lifts up Yume's right ankle and applies the ice packs on it. Yume claws at the bed sheet and bites her lips with a weird face. Koharu looks up with a soothing smile, and whispers, " If you feel painful, crying will help you feel less painful. " Yume looks out the window and replies, " I will not cry. " Koharu chuckles a little and soon wraps the ankle with compression bandage. " Yume chan. If I never talk to you, I will never know that you are such an interesting girl. I love you even more now! " She grins. Yume's face appears a flush of crimson red. She looks away to hide it.

After wrapping, Koharu elevates Yume's foot on a pillow. " Do you feel better now? " Koharu asks. Yume nods when trying to move her leg. " Don't move. You should take more rest! " Koharu says when softly pressing her foot. 

Koharu sits back to the side of Yume. " Are you here to steal ' Stars Note ' ? " She asks casually. Yume is totally shocked. She nods nervously when gripping her dagger tightly. " You should know that it is difficult for you to escape in this situation. If I can help you to leave, will you accept it? " Koharu gazes at Yume and asks seriously. Yume is full of confusion. Why will this girl help her? She is the student of Venus Ark, so why will she help the student from Four Stars Academy? And they don't have any relationship too... Will she betray her? She may bring her to the office of Elza and disclose everything to Elza! It may benefit her from being kicked out of school. However, she is too weak to escape on her own at this moment. Should she trust this girl? " Okay. I accept it. " Yume accepts her help although she is full of suspicion. She notices that there is a voice in her heart to ask her to trust this girl. That's strange...

Yume wears a wig and changes into the uniform of Venus Ark, which is given by Koharu. Then, after preparation, she is leaded by Koharu to the entrance. She tries her best to walk normally to hide her injured leg. " We will arrive after turning this corner. " Koharu whispers in a low voice nervously.

Surprising them, they hear footsteps in front of them. Someone is approaching them. She is Elza. Yume curses in her mind.  She and Koharu are nervous at the same time. " Koharu chan? Why don't you sleep? It is very late! " Elza says with a light smile. " I am going to sleep, Elza chan. However, my friend just lose her wallet in somewhere. I help her to find it back. " Koharu replies with a smile. Elza looks at Koharu, then her sight lands on Yume. Yume swallows her saliva nervously. She can feel sweat on her palms and forehead. " Okay. Good luck to you. " Elza says when walking away. After she disappears in their sights, they both sigh in relief. " It is so glad that she does not discover it. " Koharu says when pulling Yume to the entrance. " You must leave faster. She may find out soon. "  " Will I put you into danger? " Yume asks when gripping the wrist of Koharu. " Don't worry. I will be fine. " Koharu replies when pushing Yume out.  

Suddenly, Yume has a thought to pay back to Koharu. She remembers the words Subaru said to her when she is hopeless. " Yume... Once you find your dream, you will try your best to achieve it. Even you face difficulties, I will forever be here to support you, no matter when and where. Therefore, don't hesitate to overcome every hardships! "

" Wait, Koharu chan. " Yume yells. " Subaru kun told me before, once you find your dream, you will try your best to achieve it. Even you face difficulties, I will forever be here to support you, no matter when and where. Therefore, don't hesitate to overcome every hardships! " Koharu has a teasing smirk on her pretty face in a sudden. " Yume chan~ You say more than you should, do you know? " She whispers when hiding her smirk. Yume tilts her head in confused. " What do you mean? " She asks. Koharu sighs, and then she asks, " Is Subaru Yuki your boyfriend? " After understanding the words, Yume blushes into a tomato and denies at once. Koharu chuckles when seeing her reactions. " Anyway, thank you for your encouragement. I will try my best! Bye, Yume chan! " She waves at Yume and watches her leave.

" Yume chan... You are a nice friend... " She murmurs with a lovely smile. " I wish to meet you again and be your friends. "
