Light & Darkness: Book 4

"You are my Light that illuminates the Darkness within me..."Never before could I have thought that these words would evoke such great emotions in me and would be associated with a person who completely turned my world upside down. There were actually two people who did this, but one in particular shook my heart especially hard.For most people, I am an ordinary girl whose life has nothing special going on, just another student who makes some extra money after classes in a bar. When someone got to know me a little closer, found out that I was an orphan who lost my parents very early and was looked after by my grandmother from mother's side, who, however, died just before I went to college. From that moment on, I was left all alone and had to cope somehow, working hard to pay for my studies, living and a tiny, cramped apartment, which was quite far from the center of Tokyo, where the bar where I worked and my university were, but it was quite walkable, besides a

On October 30, 2019, Miyuki had been attending university classes with her friend Yumiko since early morning. Time passed pleasantly for her, as always, because Miyuki truly felt called to be a social worker and each university lesson prepared her for this task. She absorbed the knowledge with great curiosity, but not only for good results - Miyuki simply wanted to learn all this and was interested in every word of the professors.Yumiko was also interested in learning, maybe not as much as Miyuki did, but still. However, that day she was extremely distracted, flirting from a distance with one of the colleagues from the course, who sat several places behind them. He was not a new student, but rarely attended classes, which was why he caught Yumiko's eye only now, and this guy was very much of her type - well built, tall, with black eyes and hair, darker skin, and with very masculine face features. Surprisingly, among musicians, Yumiko liked different types of men, even quite di

The next day November started, and Miyuki, despite going to bed late, got up at 5 am, so she could easily get ready to go out after 7 to be on time on her classes. As the bar where she worked was near the university, therefore the road was similar, and also took about 20 minutes to walk with a faster pace. Therefore, Miyuki left the house at 7:10 am and started walking downtown. On the way, of course, she met Yumiko, who immediately began to brag about yesterday's date.- You know, I think that this time I really hit the jackpot.- she summed up, beaming all over. Miyuki had never seen her so pleased, so she believed Yumiko had found someone really worth paying attention to.- I am very happy about it.- Miyuki said sincerely, although she felt a slight pang of jealousy, but completely buried this feeling in herself, in the end she should be happy with her friend's happiness.When they both arrived at the main university building at 7:45 a.m, they went straight to class

Later that day, after completing her visit to Kai Ichatashiko's office, Miyuki went to the rest of the classes at the university. Of course, during the first break, when they sat down on "their" bench in the alley, under a cherry tree, Yumiko immediately asked her about her impressions.- Well, I think Kai Ichatashiko is actually a good psychologist. I think therapy with him will help me get over my fear of the dark.- Miyuki replied.- That's great, but I also mean what he is like. You know, if he is as handsome as in the pictures.- Yumiko directed Miyuki to the most interesting issue, at least for her.- Ah, I don't know.- Miyuki said evasively, but seeing her friend's displeased expression, she sighed slightly.- He looks normal, like every human being. I think the photos reflect his appearance in reality very well.- she added after a moment, resigned.- So I understand that Kai Ichatashiko is attractive to you?- Yumiko asked with a slight smile.- I didn't

Aoi and Miyuki said goodbye to each other that Saturday night outside her building, exchanging telephone numbers. Maybe it was a slightly crazy idea, especially for Aoi, but since he agreed, it meant he gave Miyuki a lot of trust, such as that she won't be selling his private telephone number online to his fans. For Miyuki, it was also a huge step, as she was just opening up to a friendship with someone other than Yumiko, and a man at that. His number was the first man's number she wrote down on her phone, ever. Yes, there had been times when a boy at college or in a bar asked for her phone number, but Miyuki would dispose of such adorers, even run away from them, and of course, Yumiko often chided her for something like that, especially if those men clearly had no bad intentions, and they were only sincerely interested in making friends with her, or something more. If, on the other hand, one of them was a creep or some kind of womanizer, Yumiko was able to defend her friend like a
