From betrotheds to lovers

Chapter 1

Sakurako was standing on a stage as she played a refined song with her violin. Her blonde hair was done in a beautiful style that combined with her simplistic yet gorgeous purple dress and blank expression alongside her mature face thanks to the make-up, gave her an elegant and breathtaking atmosphere. Her audience was composed of members of the high society both from within and outside the nation, with many who had only come to see her performance. That was how much she and her family name was well known to those in that privileged section of society

And after what felt like a short time for Sakurako, she had reached the end of her performance, then one after the other, the audience got up from their seats and applauded her. Sakurako held her violin with both hands and respectfully bowed down to the audience before the lights turned off one by one as the curtains closed, hiding her from the audience

"... Brrrr! The AC is too cold"

And that was the first thing she said as she got up from her bow and rubbed one of her arms that were cold from the cold temperature of the theatre because of the AC. With a trembling body from the cold, Sakurako went to the backstage area, and then to the dressing room given to her

Once in there, the first thing she did was turn on the AC in the warm mode, and once the AC began releasing hot air...

"Fuaaaaaa!... This is paradise!"

She said that with her eyes closed still with a blank expression, but at the same time, it was easy to see that she was feeling blissful. After enjoying the warm air for a few more seconds, Sakurako turned and picked up her violin case and opened it, before storing her violin inside its case, she checked its condition to see if it was still good

"*Nods* Still looking good as ever"

And then she carefully put it inside the case and closed it, after doing that she noticed her reflection in the mirror and looked at herself for a few seconds before nodding with a proud look

"Another excellent performance, mom and dad will be proud of me"

Sakurako's reasons for performing today were because of her parents, as she saw this as a way to repay them for giving her such a good lifestyle, and also because she enjoyed doing these performances. Then she gave another look to herself and then she began undoing her hairstyle as well as removing her make up

After she dried her face with a towel, her natural pretty, and young-looking face could be seen alongside her natural semi-long blonde straight hair. Then she looked back at her reflection in the feature mirror, and did her hair in her usual semi-looped ponytail, after seeing it was good, she got up from the chair and picked up her black leather jacket and put it on over her dress, making her previous elegant look be changed to a more cool look

In many ways, she looked completely different from herself on the stage during the performance

"... I guess, I'll go buy some snacks to eat"

Sakurako was a quite big eater, and she always felt hungry after doing things like the performance she just did a while ago. And with her choice made, she picked up her bag and her violin case that she passed the carrying strap over her head to carry it on a diagonal. After doing all that she left her dressing room and made her way to the exit as she walked down the hallway

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy something to eat"

But as she made her way to the exit, one of the actors in the theatre tried to strike up a conversation with her

"Then let me accompany you"

"... ... ... No, thank you"

Sakurako stared at the actor for some seconds, before refusing him
