Chapter 4“I’m going to watch over you to make sure that you will be happy.”
Ding Dong.Haruna pulled the covers over her head.
Ding Dong.She wished the person who had been ringing her doorbell for the last 5 minutes would just go away.
She didn’t want to see anyone. She just wanted to stay in bed and hid from the world.
The doorbell stopped ringing and Haruna thought the person at the door had given up and left. Suddenly, her cell phone started to ring.
Haruna groaned. She picked up her phone and looked at the caller display.
Minegishi Minami.
She flipped open her phone and pressed answer. “Mii-chan, go away!”
“Haruna, I know that you are in there. Open the door!”
“I don’t want to see or talk to anyone.”
“You’re talking to me now.”
“Just go away.”
“I have all day. I will just stay out here and keep ringing your doorbell until you open the door.”
“Mii-chan!”
“Haruna!”
Haruna rubbed her temples in frustration. She knew that she wasn’t going to win this fight. “Fine!”
She got out of bed and walked over to the door. She opened the door and gave Mii-chan a hard look. “What do you want?”
“Well, hello to you too.” Mii-chan walked into the apartment and sat on the couch.
Haruna closed the door and stood in front of the couch. “What are you doing here?”
“Mariko was worried about you and since she had to work today, she asked me to come and check on you.”
“I’m okay.”
“Haruna, you don’t look okay.”
Haruna looked away.
“Haruna, don’t keep everything to yourself.” Mii-chan patted the spot next to her. “Let us help you.”
Haruna walked over to the couch and sat down next to Mii-chan. Mii-chan wrapped her arms around the older girl and Haruna finally broke down.
“Mii-chan…”
“Shh… It’s okay.” Mii-chan whispered softly and rubbed Haruna’s back. “Just let it all out.”
“Mii-chan, what am I going to do?” Haruna looked up at Mii-chan with tears in her eyes.
“Yuko never gave up on you, even when you were denying your true feelings for her. You shouldn’t give up on Yuko now.”
“But she doesn’t remember me anymore.”
“Did you forget, Haruna? You belong to AKB48. We have 58 regular members and close to 200 girls in the entire AKB family.” Mii-chan explained. “We will all help. We will tell Yuko about her past and I’m sure she will get her memories back.”
“But…”
“You love Yuko, right?”
Haruna looked at Mii-chan and nodded with conviction.
“Then you should fight.”
Haruna looked at Mii-chan and pondered about her words.

Atsuko walked into her dressing room and sat down on the chair.
It had been a long day of filming and she was glad that she had a short break right now.
She picked up her phone and scrolled through the messages that she had received. She closed her phone in disappointment when she realized that Minami did not send her a message.
After their phone conversation this morning, she had thought that Minami would send her a message.
Atsuko rested her head on the table and sighed.
Everyone had thought of the two of them as a couple, but in reality, they were just really good friends. Atsuko didn’t know how to describe her feelings for the Team A captain, but she just knew that when Minami was not next to her, she would miss her a lot. She was the happiest when Minami was next to her. She felt comfortable and at ease.
Before the accident, Yuko had encouraged her a few times to be honest with Minami about her feelings. But Atsuko didn’t know how to approach Minami with the topic, so she never told Minami about it.
Atsuko opened her phone again and scrolled to a message she had received from Minami after it was revealed that Atsuko would be debuting as a solo singer.
Acchan,
Congratulations on your solo debut!
I’m so happy for you! I’m going to buy as many copies as I can to support you! Let’s go out and celebrate!
Your # 1 fan forever (I promise!),
Takamina“Minami…”

Haruna sat down by the window. The lights were off in the apartment and the only light illuminating the room was from the outside.
There were so many stars in the sky tonight. Haruna knew that if Yuko was here, she would be so happy. Yuko loved to watch the stars.
“Nee nee, Nyan Nyan. Look!” Yuko walked over to the window and pointed to the night sky. “There are so many stars in the sky tonight!”
Haruna chuckled at the excitement of her girlfriend and nodded. “Hmm. It’s so beautiful.”
Haruna walked behind Yuko and wrapped her arms around the shorter girl. Yuko leaned back into Haruna and sighed in content. Their bodies fit so perfectly together.
“It’s so rare to see so many stars in Tokyo.” Haruna looked at the stars and commented.
“Well, today is a special day, so kami-sama decided to give us a beautiful night to celebrate.”
“A special day? What kind of special day?”
“You don’t know?” Yuko pouted slightly. “Today is our 1 month anniversary!”
“Oh, has it been 1 month already?”
“Nyan Nyan…” Yuko turned around in surprised and whined. “You don’t remember?”
Haruna laughed. “I’m just kidding. Of course, I remember. How could I forget the day that changed my life?”
“Do I have that much impact?”
“You have no idea!” Haruna poked Yuko’s dimple softly with her finger. “That was the day I finally admitted to myself that I had fallen for a perverted squirrel.”
“How could you not love me?” Yuko grinned. “I’m just very lovable!”
“And you seem to like to spread your love around, too.” Haruna grumbled when she remembered how Yuko liked to touch and kiss the other members before they had gotten together.
Yuko turned and looked at Haruna. “Were you jealous?”
“Of course not!”
“You were so jealous! You were just in denial!”
“I was not.” Haruna pouted and Yuko laughed.
“Don’t worry, Nyan Nyan. You are the only person I want to kiss and touch.” Yuko reached back and ran her hand down Haruna’s leg.
Haruna slapped Yuko’s hand away from her body. “Yuko!”
Yuko laughed and the two turned their attention back to the starry night.
“The stars are so pretty.” Haruna said softly. “You can’t help but smile when you are looking at them.”
“When we are working separately and can’t see each other, I’m going to take a picture of the night sky and send it to you.”
“Why?”
“Because no matter what happens, I always want to see Haruna smile.” Yuko answered. “I promise you, Haruna. One day, I’m going to take you to Okinawa. We can sit on the beach and watch the stars together.”
Haruna kissed Yuko’s cheek softly and nodded. “Hmm.”Haruna opened her phone and selected a folder called ‘Stars’. She scrolled through the different pictures of the starry sky that Yuko had sent to her.
She looked back up at the sky and smiled. Yuko wanted her to be happy and had always tried so hard to fight for their love. So, she was not going to give up on Yuko and their love.
Tomorrow, she would go to the hospital and have a talk with Yuko.
