Epilogue
                          
One Year later
                          
It had been exactly one year since Yume and Subaru confess their feelings to each other. True to his words, Subaru had waited for Yume patiently. He never left her side whenever she needed him.
                          
As promised, they went out on few dates for the past year whenever they had free time. At first, it was hard to make a bit of time or sneak off without their friends knowing. But soon they were able to manage until they were discovered by their friends around Christmas.
                          
Their friends supported their relationship even if they weren't official yet. As for the cat like idol, she has long given up her crush on Subaru way before they were discovered as she realizes her true feelings for a certain headphone idol.
                          
They face other hardship like the appearance of Venus Ark, their rivalry on stage, jealousy towards each other, the public but yet they manage to get through everything since their feelings always shine through.
                          
Even with many hardships they still made wonderful memories. Each date they had was something they will cherish. The times they work together, even if they were rivals, help them grow as an idol. Spending times with their friends, before and after they were discovered. The Halloween dance and Christmas concert they put on together. Celebrating their birthdays together. Helping each other out whenever something trouble them. Valentine's days chocolate. White day. Meeting each other parents. Learning a bit more about each other. With each memory recorded to their heart, they were able to grow and trust each other.
                          
Currently, the pairs are walking at night as the S4 selection once again ended. Yume manages to keep her position as an S4 along with Mahiru and Ako. The one who replaces Yuzu position was Haruka as the new S4 for dance class.
                          
As they were given a couple of days off before their busy schedule took over, the couple decided to take the opportunity to spend time with each other. Since it has been awhile they saw each other. Even though they manage to talk on the phone or send brief texts, it didn't feel the same. This is the first time in awhile that they were holding hands and walking around at night. They didn't talk much since they are enjoying each other company.
                          
Subaru never asks Yume if she was ready to form a relationship this past year since he knows Yume's feelings toward him. She always manages to show it whenever they talk or see each other. Even on their busy schedule she always reminds him that she was there to support him. She even took care of him when he was sick. Even with her busy schedule, she took the time to see him. Which made Subaru really happy.
                          
Yume is grateful at Subaru for being patient with her this past year. She never felt pressured by him to form a relationship. Instead, he always shows his feelings toward her whenever he had the opportunity. Like, on the dates they go to, he always put all of his attention towards her even if a fan happens to recognize him. He never let Yume feel lonely. Even when she was an exchange student at Venus Ark Subaru will often send sweet texts to remind her that he was there waiting. And as he said, he was there to help her whenever there was an obstacle. Even when she premiered her first ever premium rare dress Subaru was there to watch her perform. He couldn't stay much after but he sends a text telling her great job. Some of her design was inspired by him because she was able to put her feelings towards her dress. Even when she was trying to get her wings, Subaru reminded her to never give up. He always believes in her no matter what.
                          
"Nee Subaru did you enjoy this year?" asked Yume as she broke the silence.
                          
Subaru looks at Yume when she asks that. He didn't let go of her hands but just stare at her.
