Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 630 Big news
On Thursday evening, July 9th, when Jun Matsueda returned to his apartment after finishing work, the living room was filled with the soft, chattering voices of young girls.

The boy blinked, closed the door, put down his backpack, and walked towards the dining table.

Yosei Kurusu sat at the dining table, which was covered with various bottles and jars, as well as tissues, brushes, and all sorts of odds and ends.

The girl's long hair was tied up and divided into different sections with several clips. Behind her stood an older woman dressed as a maid, her brush covered in white ointment, applying it back and forth in the girl's hair.

Miyamura Aya sat to the side of the two, watching the maid's movements with great interest. Noticing the boy approaching, she waved cheerfully.

"Brother Chun is back~"

The news that Kurusu was going back to the apartment was told to Miyamura Aya by Matsueda Jun a few days ago. He was worried that the girl would be bored staying in the apartment, so he asked Aya to go and play with her more often.

The boy nodded and placed his backpack on the empty table beside him. "Are you dyeing your hair?"

Looking at the mirror in front of him, Yosuke Kurusu turned his head and gave him a playful smile.

"No, it's hair bleaching!"

"Miss Kurusu, please don't move." The maid behind her quickly reminded her.

"Oh, sorry!"

The girl straightened her head, her eyes darting around as she glanced at the boy sitting to the side.

“Kurasu wants to dye her hair a light color, so she has to bleach it before dyeing.” Mochizuki Haruka, who was sitting on the sofa, turned her head. “If she wants to dye her hair a brown, dark red, or dark blue color, she can skip the bleaching process.”

"I see." Jun Matsue walked up to her, picked up the girl's cup of lemon tea, and took a sip. "Is this the beginning for you two?"

“It wasn’t you, it was her.” Mochizuki Haruka corrected him earnestly. “She started drifting when I came back.”

"It's been quite a while." It was past 6:30 when Matsueda Jun got off work.

The girl put down the game controller she was holding and refilled the boy's empty cup with tea.

"Dyeing hair pink requires at least three bleaching sessions, which takes at least three to five hours."

"Has it taken that long?" Yosei Kurusu exclaimed in surprise as he sat in front of the mirror.

"This is the last time for Miss Kurusu," the maid behind her comforted her softly. "It will be finished in twenty minutes."

Aya Miyamura pulled out her phone. "I'll order takeout then~"

"You haven't had dinner yet?" Jun Matsue turned around. "There are still some ingredients in the fridge. I haven't eaten either, so let's just cook something."

“No need.” Mochizuki Haruka grabbed his hand. “We’ve had snacks and drinks, so we’re not really hungry. We can just order some pizza and snacks.”

Moreover, the dinner for four people was quite large, and she didn't want to tire out the boy who had just gotten off work.

“That’s fine too.” Jun Matsueda glanced back at the frozen game screen on the TV. “Looks like you guys had a good time after school.”

"Mmm!" Kurusu Yosei nodded to the boy in the mirror. "I played games, ate ice cream and snacks, and had a maid do my hair the whole time."

"This is the life of successful people!"

Mochizuki Haruka, sitting on the sofa, glanced at her and let out a disdainful sneer.

"It's worthless."

Twenty minutes later, Jun Matsueda and the girls sat down at the table. The hair bleaching tools had been put away and replaced with cardboard boxes containing pizza, boneless fried chicken, and fries.

The boy picked up a piece of golden-brown fried chicken, took a big bite, and then drank a sip of his iced cola. He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and let out a satisfied sigh as he looked at the ceiling.

"This is the perfect way to eat in summer—"

Sitting across from her, Aya Miyamura sipped her pizza and iced cola, her eyes crinkling with delight. "Junk food is the ultimate happiness!"

Mochizuki Haruka held the triangular pizza and took small bites. She turned her head to look at the boy next to her. Although she didn't have any particular feelings about these cheap fast food, she found it quite interesting to watch Matsue eat. She never got tired of it.

After waiting for a while, she looked at the maid standing in the corridor with her head down, "Why is it taking so long to wash your hair, Kurusu?"

"What's the rush! I've only been inside for a few minutes."

Light, pattering footsteps echoed back into the living room as Yosuke Kurusu returned, her hair slightly damp. All eyes turned to her.

Her once jet-black hair had turned a translucent platinum blonde, making the already striking girl even more eye-catching.

"How is it?" She spun around in place. "The result should be pretty good, right?"

Mochizuki Haruka and the maid wouldn't offer any opinions. Miyamura Aya blinked in amazement. She wanted to speak, but quickly covered her mouth and looked at the boy opposite her.

Matsueda Jun watched Kurusu Yosei approach. The girl's blonde hair made her cheeks appear even whiter, and the translucent color reminded him of the sunlight he had seen during this period—that boundless vitality and energy, enough to illuminate everything around her and allow his own passion to permeate it.

“This gold color suits you perfectly,” the boy said, looking into her bright eyes. “It feels like you don’t even need to dye it anymore.”

"Really?" Yosuke Kurusu sat down with a grin. "But gold is too common; many celebrities dye their hair that color."

"Pink is more special and suits me better!"

“I thought my hair would be all white after bleaching, but it turns out it’s blonde.” Jun Matsue continued to observe the girl while chewing on his pizza. “I’ve learned something new.”

"You didn't expect that, did you?" Kurusu Yosei winked. "But I don't know why either~"

"That brainless golden retriever..." Mochizuki Haruka pursed her lips.

After the maid confirmed that the bleaching was fine, she took her leave. The girls ate their dinner while discussing dyeing their hair another day.

"Summer is all about cola and fried chicken!" Yosei Kurusu exclaimed happily.

"I really admire Yosei-nee." Miyamura Aya's eyes were filled with respect. "Even when those people are as noisy as cicadas in a tree, Yosei-nee can still happily eat fried chicken at home."

"That's the kind of mentality an idol should have!" The girl stretched out her right hand and made a victory sign.

"She's incredibly thick-skinned; she even manages to check how her haters attack her every day." Jun Matsueda glanced at her helplessly.

"I think Masahiko Sakurai recently mentioned going to court, right?" Aya-chan took out her phone and checked. "I wonder what's going on."

"The guilty party accuses the innocent first," Mochizuki Haruka said dismissively.

Compared to Qi Yangshi, she hated these disgusting and despicable scoundrels in the entertainment industry even more.

"……Eh?"

Miyamura Aya was looking at the news on her phone and didn't notice that her pizza had fallen onto the table.

"Someone said they found dirt on Yang Shijie."

"Isn't there a lot of 'dirt' on Kurusu?" Matsueda Jun had seen quite a bit of it with Kurusu Yosei these past few days.

"No..." The girl turned her phone around and showed it to the boy.

That was a video of Yosei Kurusu embracing a man at a performance venue for an underground idol group before her official debut.

　I'll probably have to revert to my usual update schedule for the last few days of the month. I was busy typing nonsense yesterday, and now I'm out of drafts...
