Third Person P.O.V.

Yume's lips are still pressing against Subaru's one. They have stayed like this for a few minutes. None of them wants to separate from each other. They seem to become the one through this spiritual connection. Their heart beat rates become the same at this moment. Someone says, if people have the same heart beat rate during kiss, they are true lovers.

Meanwhile, a noise comes from the outside. They are both petrified and separate from each other's sweet cuddle at once. Without taking a look on each other, they both stare at their knees with red cheeks. Their bodies are still pressing against each other. A awful silence appears between them. Both of them want to say something to break the silence, but what can they talk now? 

" Eh... " They both speak up warily at the same time. " You can go first! " They say in unison again. This seems to make the atmosphere more weird. 

Subaru coughs a bit before saying, " Um... This is actually my first kiss... " He still attempts to avoid any eye-contact with Yume. He knows, if he looks at her, he will blush even more. " Me too... " He hears a soft mutter behind him. He swirls around and only notices that she is fiddling her swollen lips sheepishly when her cheek is being stained with more red color. She jerks a little bit when she notices that he is gazing at her. Their eyes meet together again...

" Um... Maybe I should leave now. Eh... Remember to clean your wound again before sleep... Bye. " Yume suddenly stands up and leaves with embarrassment. She does not take a look on him before walking toward the door. He gazes at her back. He has a feeling that he is unwilling to let go of her, but is it proper to catch her wrist and stop her from leaving? Maybe they need some time and spaces to think of something carefully. For example, their relationship...

" Hey! Subaru kun! Nice job! I never think that you have such a nice kissing skill! " A cheerful voice echos in the living room. Asahi enters with the above words when Nozomu and Kanata are following behind him. " You see everything?! This means that the noise ... " Subaru snarls with agitation. They sit beside him, and reply with sarcasm, " Oh! When we were back to our dorm and opened the door, we saw that you and Yume were enjoying a deep kiss. We were totally shocked, so we dropped everything in our hands on the ground. That's so sorry! you could kiss her a bit longer if there was no noises~~ " Kanata props his head with his hand when showing his symbolic smirk. Subaru feels heat on his cheek again. " Can you guys stop? You are all annoying! " He says when showing his tightened fist.

Kanata stares at Subaru's arm with concerns, " Hey! Why did your shirt stain with blood? Did your arm get hurt? " Subaru flinches and stutters, " N-nothing... Just... an accident... "

Nozomu is staring at his phone thoughtfully. " Subaru kun, don't you think that you should confess to her? You seem to love her so much... " Nozomu says when showing a photo in his phone. He has taken photos of the significant moment of Subaru and Yume kissing scene. Subaru is stunned and wriggles with exasperating expression. Asahi elbows Nozomu slightly with a bright smile, and says, " Nice job, Nozomu kun! Can you send them to me? " " Stop! You guys! " Subaru shouts with fury when standing up grumpily. " Can you leave me some spaces for privacy? " " No! " They reply without any hesitation.

He signs with a despairing expression when sitting back on the couch. " You guys are driving me to insanity, you know? " He mutters and looks daggers at his best friends. " I just cannot do these love stuffs now. I have to concentrate on my idol works since my aim is to be a famous idol in the world. We are working hard for this goal. I don't have any time for romance. " 

Nozomu gazes at him, and says, " Subaru kun, you know? Love is not the thing you do, is the thing you fall in. You should not ignore it when you really fall in a love. " Asahi nods with agreement, " Right! Thinking of her smile will make your heart beat fast and feel warm. Even you reject this feeling, you cannot stop feeling it. You should accept it, but not ignore or deny it. " Subaru looks at Asahi and Nozomu thoughtfully. He takes a look on Kanata, the coolest guy in M4, to seek for his help. Out of his expectation, he just shrugs and says, " I have the same thoughts with them. If you never fall in love with the others, how can you express your love in your songs and drama? How can you influence your fans either? You said, you don't have time for romance. However, time can be arranged by yourself. You actually can spend some time to date with her. Everything is controlled by you. Besides, isn't it boring if your life is only filled with works? Dating can actually bring you joy and relief... " 

Subaru bites his lips and leaves his seat suddenly. " Wait, Subaru kun... " He ignores the voices and goes straight to his own room. " I am gonna sleep. Don't disturb me! " He throws a line before slapping close the door. 

" That idiot... " His friends just sigh and shrugs bleakly.

Subaru collapses on his bed and crawls to the middle of it. He grabs a pillow and buries his head into it. " Do I really have time for romance? ... Do I really fall in love with that tomato...? " He closes his eyes to have a deep thought.   That's confusing! I do not want to fall in love with her, but my heart never obeys me. I can't control myself to think of her everyday. When thinking of her smile, I seem to have energy to complete all my works and training. And I could not hold it back when she cried. Therefore, I unconsciously leaned in and kissed her. What is this feeling? I really fall for her just like the words of my friends?      He slowly opens his eyes and squints at the photos of Yume in his phone. Seeing her smile makes him blush a little bit.  Doki Doki.  He is shocked when he hears his heartbeats. He muses at the words from Asahi. At this moment, he is really sure that, he really loves her, loves that Yudetako... He softly fiddles his lips, like he can still feel the warmth and sweetness from her lips. He smiles sheepishly when thinking of this.  However, he immediately snaps back his mind. He does not have time or extra energy for it. Or maybe he has, but he tries to deny. He slowly fall into sleep in this half-hearted feeling.

Yume rushes back to her room with a red face. When arriving, she immediately crawls to the bed and buries her face with a quilt.

She hasn't calmed down yet. She can still feel that her heart is beating so fast and uncontrollable, just like a wild horse running in a large piece of grassland.

Her mind is only occupied by one person in this moment, who is Subaru. When flashing back to their kissing moment, she does not know the reason but smiles sheepishly. Is it what she wants? It seems to be... What is this feeling? She softly touches her lips, like that she can still capture the warmth and sweetness from his lips. When remembering everything Subaru done for her, the same sweetness ripples from the deep region in her heart to her whole body. Is this feeling what the others called " Love " ?

She shakes her head violently and attempts to remove the thought that she loves him.

I cannot love him! I cannot love him! Even though he said that he wants to protect me, I don't want to make him hurt, especially if it is because of me! When I saw he get hurt, I could not help but my heart triggered painfully. If we are in love, I will bring bad fortunes to him! I will be a burden of him! Nijino Yume! Don't love him!

She slaps herself with a force. Tears rolls down her cheek, which is painted with a red hand shape. Tears create not because of the pain on her cheek, but in her heart.

She gradually falls in sleep when tears is running down still.

Both of Yume and Subaru try to deny their true feelings, but can they really succeed? Can they really able to hide their love when facing each other?
