Beautiful Affection

CHAPTER 24

I have a severe writer's block for this chapter. I was determined to update each chapter faster but yeah, no words would type themselves if I just spent a few days staring blankly at the screen before deciding to watch Kdramas instead which later became the main reason why I didn't write. I just couldn't stop watching them lol. I am sorry if this chapter is the worst. And also... the medical procedure/information in this story might be misleading since I don't do thorough research.  

CHAPTER 24

Luckily for her, Tomochika was free and willing to babysit her daughters.

"Well, logically speaking, I know it's not going to be 'for a while'. You can take as much time as you want, Haruka. Go and see for yourself how STARISH reunites."

Indeed, she could not ask for a better best friend. After shedding tears with Tomochika over the messages from Syo which was about Tokiya's dark past, the urge for her to see Tokiya and how he would patch up with his friends emerged without ado.

When she arrived at the first-class ward, Otoya and Natsuki were still hugging Tokiya. Sad smiles plastered over their faces but the most noticeable one was her husband's. It showed how much he loved this moment; STARISH without malicious remarks or glowers thrown towards one another.

"You..." Ren exclaimed with his husky but devastated voice that Haruka found it hard to believe it came from the laid-back scion. "What have you done, you idiot?"

While still being squeezed by two muscular men with different sizes, Tokiya was staring at everyone, feeling unsure of what to do. Everybody around him still looked so odd in his eyes even Masato had thrown a guess that they just knew everything.

But how? How did they and where did they come from before deciding to ambush him with their miserable faces?

"I am sorry but I have to do this, Tokiya," Himura initiated which quickly made his artist understood how did these guys become dramatic. "I got a strong feeling that I had to help you but I couldn't do it alone. Your friends needed to know what happened to you and it's a coincidence that Ren contacted me to talk about the same thing. We broke into your house and that's how we knew that... the president had exploited you."

And this is the least I can do after underestimating you before. I used to think that you're a shameless actor, Tokiya, Himura thought.

Tokiya felt like he just lost his tongue as he could not let any word escape from his lips. He stared vacantly at his manager but for sure, there was no such feeling like anger in him. He knew that Himura just wanted the best for him.

"We found everything from your laptop and diary. We're sorry to disrespect your privacy but we really did not have choices. You looked so suspicious all of sudden and we decided to ask Dr. Mayama and threaten Dr. Murano. That's how we found out your illnesses," Ren supplied, backing Himura so that if Tokiya could not accept what they did, the blue head had more than one person to lash out at.

"I was such a stupid roommate, Tokiya. I absolutely had no idea that you..." Otoya's thin hands landed on Tokiya's shoulders. "I should have realized it when you changed so drastically. I should know that when you were spaced out a lot and when you got easily angry, it meant something had bothered your mind."

No matter how much they said, Tokiya's brain could not process anything to reply to them. What they had blurted out and bombarded him with were all his pasts. Something that his heart said that it did not matter since it was way in the past.

Yet, his mind did not share the same opinion. His mind was still suffering from the sexual assaults.

"And... what's with the 'I want to sleep for a year' chant? No, what do you mean by 'sleeping' anyway? Is it just simply taking a break somewhere far from this city or..." Otoya's voice broke, imagining the worst thing that could happen to his friend. The fact that a strong-hearted guy like Tokiya could think and try to commit suicide for more than once was more than enough to scare the redhead. If only he was a single guy, he would consider staying with his friend for a while. "Seriously, I know I am stupid but now I realized how stupid could I be. You had tried to commit suicide before but I..."
