[SD] Saki Sakata

More than 20 years ago, Risa Toyama, like all children who were doted on by their parents, had a happy childhood. After growing up, elementary school, middle school, and high school, the trajectory of life can be said to be smooth sailing.

Until the second year of high school, her father's entertainment company went bankrupt in the financial turmoil. Under the double pressure of high debts and ruined career, her father jumped from the top of the company, and the mother who loved her father very much couldn't bear the blow. , and committed suicide by cutting his pulse while Risa Toyama was out, and died after being rescued by the hospital.

The originally happy family is like a huge tower that suddenly collapsed, falling into pieces, while Toyama Risa's life is like riding a high-speed speeding car that goes straight down and the brakes fail.She sold everything she could in the home to pay off a quarter of her debts, and then dropped out of school to work.

With the help of her father's former friends, she got a high-paying job—an artist's agent. She kept learning and accumulated experience. With her own efforts, she climbed all the way, and finally got a job in this highly competitive field. took a place.

I met Kise Ryota when she was 24 years old. That handsome boy like a prince was not the first newcomer she brought, but he was the artist with the most potential and the best qualifications.That is a dazzling young man, as long as it is female, no one can dislike him.

But Toyama Risa is an exception. Life makes her no longer naive, and the reality makes her only know how to make money and make money.So, when Kise Ryota confessed his love to her, it was completely unbelievable.Rejection is a matter of course, whether it is the age gap between the two, or the identity of the artist, it is impossible not to think about it.What's more, they are not from the same world.

However, she still couldn't resist the temptation from Ryota Kise in the end.

The boy's persistence made her innocence that had disappeared for a long time reappear.

And the later facts also proved that it was indeed her naivety.

Toyama Risa once read a book, she no longer remembers the name of the book, nor who wrote it, only remembers such a passage in the book

——In this world, there is always someone who makes you not refuse.No matter how much you consider, no matter how difficult it is, you can't escape.Like a curse, he was deeply engraved in his heart.There can be 1 reasons for not loving someone, but not even one reason for loving someone.And this person will become the catastrophe of your life.

Can you imagine?

A person who is extremely stingy with himself will also line up to buy limited-edition products that he dismissed before, just because the boy said inadvertently, "I like it very much."

Even though there are many part-time jobs outside of work, people who are so busy from dawn to dusk that they can't even eat in time will attend that boy's basketball game in every venue.

When dating, no matter how hard or tired you are, you will still smile at the boy.As long as he needs it, he will rush to the other party's side as soon as possible despite all difficulties.

……

People in love are fools, but Toyama Risa is hopelessly stupid.

I don't remember when she started to worry about gains and losses. She would lose her temper because Ryota Kise was smiling at other girls, and she would call the other party involuntarily to confirm who the boy was with.Even though he knew that he might be bored, there was still no way to stop this behavior that even he hated.

All this is because she cared too much about Kise Ryota, so much that she lost her sense of normalcy.

Then--

There's no after that.

With the "reason of not wanting to be bound", the two people have changed from the closest lovers to familiar strangers.

The teenagers at that time didn't know that it was only natural to want to restrain someone because of liking and love.What's more, he never gave his lover enough sense of security.

Love is a war. Risa Toyama lost miserably to Ryota Kise. After losing both her heart and her body, she fled sadly with only her remaining self-esteem.

Risa Toyama quit her job at Ryota Kise's company and joined the Star company, which focuses on cultivating singers, to continue her own life.Rather than feeling sad, she chose to work harder.After all, the former, apart from bringing a bunch of fragments that I don't want to recall, can't bring anything valuable at all.But the actual responsibility is something she has to bear.

Ironically, the breakup allowed Toyama Risa not only to quickly make up for the money lost during her relationship with Kise Ryota, but also to pay off all her debts earlier than expected.

Love is powerful.

And falling in love is worse than worse.

Buying a house, making a boyfriend, and the out-of-control life of Toyama Risa at the age of 17 seem to be back on track.

Although, it just seems.

So, why are you showing up in front of me again, Kise Ryota?

Whether it's posters or advertisements, she can turn a blind eye.

However, the reality made her understand.

- The nightmare never passes away.

"Kise-kun, hello, I'm Toyama Risa, the manager of Air, please give me your advice."

We met for the first time in seven years. The once 17-year-old boy has grown into a 24-year-old youth. He has become more mature, and his smile has changed from innocent to accidental.

The beginning of pretending to be calm, the end of running away.

Toyama Risa, even after seven years, still cannot be freed from Kise Ryota's curse.

"Pear yarn."

The day after the meeting, Kise Ryota waited for her in Star's parking lot.

The familiar yet unfamiliar address made Toyama Risa stiffen.

"I heard that you are getting married."

In the box of the club, Kise Ryota casually mentioned something.

Although Toyama Risa didn't know how he knew, she still replied with a smile, "Yes, if Kise-kun doesn't mind, you can also have a cup of wedding wine then."

"Thank you for your invitation, but I'm not sure if it will be very busy at that time." Kise Ryota raised his glass and said with a smile: "So, I wish you a happy wedding in advance."

"Thank you." Toyama Risa also raised her glass.

The sound of the glasses colliding made a crisp sound, and she drank the red wine in one gulp.

Toyama Risa, who had never guarded against Kise Ryota, would never have imagined that he would be drugged in that glass of red wine.

Perhaps just as Kise Ryota never understood all of Toyama Risa, Toyama Risa did not fully understand Kise Ryota.

And when she woke up again, it was the beginning of another nightmare.
