Chapter 360 - (2019: Case 02) Part 11 (2/2)

”Setsura you. . .”

”I can't say anything now, even if everything is settled in my heart. That's why, while there is still time. Allow me to convey how special and important you are to me. The senpai now will surely be able to understand it, the kind of person I want to be,” she trails off and laughs softly, as he could see the small droplets of tears from her eyes. ”Is that selfish of me I wonder?”

Akito his head as he squeezed their hands together,  ”It's not selfish. I understand Setsura.”

He understands it. He has done ever since that time. Since he saw her and that person fight side by side each other, a apart of him already felt it then. The strength between the thread wrapped around the two of them. However, none of that mattered to him. Even if he isn't the one for her, he still wants to help her out. No matter what happens, he won't let go of this hand a second time.

Yang didn't know what Akito was thinking. However, he recalled what happened when he brought Setsura to that girl's funeral not too far back. Of course she had to wait until all the guests left, he wouldn't let her go when so many people were around.

'All humans must die someday.

It's just a matter of sooner or later '

Once he quit the world of yankees. Yang expected, no he expected to completely escape the darkness in his life. He thought he would be able to burry away that dark past and live normally. Well if you call not being able to walk the streets peacefully due to the ambushing of fans normal then yeah he was living a pretty normal life. At the beginning he really did dislike that factor. In the end idols are humans too there not anymore special then anyone else. Yet in others eyes they appear to be individuals that must be worshipped.

At the end has anything really changed from back when he was in the underworld. What is he saying? Of course something has changed, its different in comparison to before. He's an idol now. He lives a completely different life then before.

Yang didn't such a phone call. 'Yang, you have to come has been...'. That's right, his way of living is different now. Yet why did this have to happen?

....

Year 2019- A few days ago

His gaze lands on the red head girl who laid in the coffin peacefully and clenches his fist. Damm it, Yang wasn't very close to the girl. But he knew her well enough.

A hand clasped on his shoulder, ”Momoi.”

”Sorry. I should have kept watch of her instead.”

Yang isn't his head, ” Your not to blame”. She isn't to blame. This is his fault. He's the one who disbanded the group in the first place. He's the one who left them all behind. To do whatever they want to follow someone knew.

That woman just had to choose Setsura of all people.

Out of all the people she would recklessly follow, it had to be Kaname Setsuta.

That girl had been someone who he got along with rather well before. Though back then she was only a trainee, and yet still had to go on any proper jobs. That was three years ago, to think the carefree girl from back then would end up like this. A girl who was never meant to get caught up in this mess in the first place. Someone who only joined this side of the world to pay of her step fathers debut. Someone who just wanted to support her family and ensure they made a living.

Momo shuts her eyes and shakes her head, ” You aren't either.”

His thoughts broke off when the doors opened revealing Setsura.

Setsura...

Yang only briefly told her about it, so he wasn't sure whether or not she would come. It seems like he underestimated her investigation skills.

She brushes past him and the model and walks up to the coffin, he watches her place her hand on the girl's hair. ”It's better to get killed then disappear, I said that to you then. But in this instance I would rather have you disappear.”

He watches the girl's eye color change emerald, ”Sorry, for you it would have been best if you just died peacefully. But like this you'll be in hell, anyway. That's why” he watches her lean forward and kiss the girl's forehead, ” Rest in an eternal dream.”

Shin recalls it then quite clearly what she said.

'The feeling of being scared... I've forgotten it already  '

Is she....really not afraid?

Someone died already. Someone who was just living there life normally. This is already a matter that can't be left aside anymore.

Present Tokyo 2019

Still, Yang watched the two fighting alongside one another. A bitter smile appeared on his face. Is he destined to lose her no matter what?  Yang already knew from the beginning that their love would not have a fairytale ending. However, he still wanted to try. Was he that foolish to think so?
