Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 484 The living room of room 507, a long-lost feeling of crowding

The library was empty, with the swaying shadows of trees reflected on the table by the window.

"I'm sorry," Jun Matsue said to the girl beside him.

“It’s okay!” Tomatsu Yuka’s tone was very natural. “I already told Matsueda-san that there’s no need to hide anything from me.”

"I'm in this position so that you can be happy."

"So I'm actually happy that you're willing to tell me about Yang Shi-san directly—it means that Matsueda-kun at least trusts me~"

The boy nodded. "Then let's go see the cherry blossoms another day."

No matter how nonchalant the girl appeared on her face, Jun Matsue knew that she was definitely still sad inside.

Tomatsu Tomoka's smile brightened again. "Spring break is two weeks long, there's no need to rush."

"The cherry blossoms are only just beginning to bloom now; they'll be at their most romantic in a few days when they're in full bloom!"

"Okay." The boy smiled back at her.

At 3:30 p.m., half an hour before the end of the workday, Jun Matsueda's phone, which was under the table, began to vibrate, and the lit screen displayed the name Yosei Kurusu.

"Matsueda-kun, go answer the phone." The girl, who was looking down at her book, smiled at him. "I'll stay here."

"I'll be right back." Jun Matsueda picked up his phone and headed towards the restroom.

There was no one at the sink. He answered the phone, and the pleasant voice of Yosuke Kuraki and the noisy environment rang in his ears at the same time.

"Matsueda! I've already gotten off the plane and I'm about to leave Haneda Airport!"

"Why is it so noisy over there?" The boy was puzzled as he could faintly hear a noisy voice that didn't belong to a girl coming through the receiver.

"They're fans who came to pick me up at the airport~" The girl seemed to look back. "They were blocked behind me by my company's team, and they kept chasing after me."

"..." Matsueda Jun subconsciously lowered his voice, "Is it okay for you to make a call now?"

"It's okay," she said nonchalantly. "I only have my manager with me right now, no one else can hear me."

"I should be back at the apartment by five o'clock, are you ready?"

"what to prepare?"

"I've worked so hard on this tour, you have to cook me something nice when I get back, right?!"

The girl's voice sounded more like she was being coquettish than angry.

"I'm going to buy groceries after get off work. What do you want to eat?"

"Stir-fried pork with green peppers, braised eggplant, noodles with scallion oil, and stir-fried lettuce"

"You've ordered so much, can you finish it all?" Jun Matsueda's voice carried a helpless smile.

"If we can't finish it, we can eat it again tomorrow!" the girl exclaimed. "I want to eat my fill!"

The two hung up the phone quickly, with Yosei Kurusu not intending to talk any longer—perhaps the girl planned to save everything she wanted to say for when they met in person.

When I returned to the counter, Tomatsu Yuka gave me a curious yet restrained look. "Yoshi-san, you've already arrived in Tokyo?"

Jun Matsue nodded. "Just got off the plane."

The girl didn't ask any more questions, because she was afraid that if she did, she would start to overthink—was Yosuke Kuriki going back to live permanently at the apartment, or was he planning to officially steal her man?
Only by not thinking about these things can she play her role well and stay by Jun-gun's side.

When Jun Matsueda returned to the apartment with the groceries, Yosuke Kurusu hadn't appeared yet; Haruka Mochizuki appeared in front of him first in the living room. "You bought so many groceries, are you planning to cook a big meal tonight? It's so different when Kurusu is back~" The girl shuffled around him in her slippers.

"Wasn't this how I cooked for you and your aunt back then?" Jun Matsue ignored her sarcasm. "And didn't I also buy groceries for you?"

The girl pursed her lips and remained silent. Miyamura Aya, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the controller and turned to look at the two of them.

"Good afternoon, Chun-ge! I heard that Yang-shi-jie is coming back?"

Aya was invited by Mochizuki Haruka to hang out—of course, the girl didn't invite her to play games together, but rather wanted to find a reliable third wheel.

Jun Matsue walked into the kitchen carrying a plastic bag. "In half an hour at most, you'll see a real-life superstar come to Kiyoshi."

Twenty minutes later, Yosei Kurusu pushed open the door to 507, but instead of the long-awaited reunion she had imagined, she was met with lively game music from the living room and the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen.

"I'm really happy to have food as soon as I get back." The black-haired girl took off her mask. "But even if Aya-chan is fine, why is Mochizuki here too!"

"Of course, it's to welcome you." Mochizuki Haruka got up from the sofa and walked up to her with an innocent smile on her face.

“I live right next door now, didn’t Songzhi tell you?”

"What welcome!" Kurusu Yosei stared at the girl in front of him, her bright and sparkling eyes wide open.

"I am the master of this house, I don't need your welcome!"

Just as Mochizuki Haruka spoke again, the tightly closed kitchen door opened, and Matsueda Jun walked into the living room, carrying steaming dishes.

"If you want to make a fuss, make a lot of a fuss now, because once you're at the table, you'll have to focus on eating."

"It's not like I'm the one who wants to make a scene!" Kurusu Yosei snorted, turned her face to the side, and gave the boy a bright smile.

Long time no see!

She put her handbag aside, walked lightly to Matsueda Jun, bent down slightly, and searched his eyes for longing with excited and joyful gaze.

"Does Songzhi miss me?"

Matsueda Jun looked at the girl in front of him, her upturned face, the corners of her lips turned up, and her slightly messy hair on her forehead.

And those eyes that shimmered with starlight as they gazed at him intently.

He placed the plate of garlic lettuce he was holding on the table.

"It's too quiet when I'm home alone. I do miss the sound of someone sitting in front of the TV."

"That's not what I want to hear!" The girl pursed her lips and sat down to his right.

“No wonder Matsue is enjoying my company so much now; it turns out she was dumped by someone before.” Mochizuki Haruka naturally picked up on the boy’s words and sat down to his left.

"I didn't abandon him! If you have to say, he abandoned me!" Miss Idol seemed to have exceptionally high energy today, showing no intention of admitting defeat verbally.

"Yes, yes, yes." Jun Matsue turned and walked into the kitchen. "If I keep listening to you two arguing, I really won't be able to eat today."

However, the girls didn't care about his feelings. Until the glass door to the kitchen was closed, Yosei Kurusu and Haruka Mochizuki's lips were still opening and closing, arguing fiercely.

Matsueda Jun returned to the stove and began preparing the sauce for the scallion oil noodles, while the aroma of congee wafted from the pot beside him.

Although the arguing that fills the room is a headache, it's probably better this way than an empty and desolate place.
