Chapter 934  Kaguya's Apartment 

As Kaguya's key turned in the lock, the door to her apartment swung open with a soft creak, allowing a glimpse into her personal sanctuary. Stepping over the threshold, Kaguya was immediately greeted by the comforting embrace of her living space, a place where she could unwind and be herself.

The entrance led directly into the living room, where soft ambient lighting cast a warm glow that seemed to wrap around the room like a soothing hug. Cream-colored walls adorned with a few carefully selected paintings gave the space an inviting and tranquil ambiance.

A plush gray sofa dominated the center, adorned with a few patterned throw pillows that added a touch of vibrancy. A wooden coffee table adorned with a couple of magazines and a vase of fresh flowers stood proudly in front of the sofa, a subtle hint of Kaguya's penchant for simplicity and elegance.

To the left of the living room was an open kitchenette, separated by a sleek breakfast bar with high stools. The kitchen area was clean and organized, with white cabinets neatly lining the walls and stainless steel appliances adding a modern touch. A splash of color came from a potted plant perched on the windowsill, its green leaves adding a refreshing contrast to the otherwise monochromatic palette.

As Kaguya continued into the apartment, she would pass a compact study nook tucked against the wall opposite the kitchen. A small desk held her laptop and a few study materials, reflecting her dedication to her dreams of becoming a doctor.

Further down the hallway, the door to Kaguya's bedroom beckoned. Pushing it open, she would reveal a cozy and serene haven. Soft pastel blue walls exuded tranquility, while a large window let in natural light during the day. A queen-sized bed, dressed in crisp white linens and plush pillows, occupied the center of the room. A collection of fairy lights adorned the headboard, casting a gentle and enchanting radiance in the evenings.

Against one wall, a simple wooden wardrobe stood, its mirrored doors adding depth to the room and reflecting the soft illumination from the fairy lights. A vanity table with a well-loved mirror and a few makeup essentials was positioned next to the window, where Kaguya could enjoy the serene view as she got ready each morning.

Finally, a door adjacent to the bedroom revealed a compact bathroom, a private oasis for relaxation. The walls were a soothing mint green, and a vintage-style clawfoot bathtub stood proudly in one corner. Soft towels in shades of white and blue hung neatly on a towel rack, while a small shelf held a collection of skincare products and fragrances.

Throughout the apartment, the presence of potted plants—

whether resting on windowsills or perched on shelves—brought a touch of nature and life into every corner. The gentle interplay of colors, from the serene blues to the warm neutrals, created a cohesive and calming atmosphere.

As Kaguya moved through her space, she couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and belonging. Her apartment was a reflection of herself—simple yet elegant, inviting yet personal—a place where she could find respite from the outside world and cultivate the dreams and aspirations that fueled her every step.

Kaguya went to the living room and stretched her hands, yawning uncontrollably without any care. She tossed her belongings in the living room and released a deep sigh. The events of the evening replayed in her mind like scenes from a cherished movie, each frame bringing a mix of emotions that both warmed her heart and caused her anxiety.

Without wasting a moment, Kaguya headed straight for the bathroom. She filled the bathtub with warm water, the steam gradually rising as she let the soothing ambiance envelop her. As she eased into the water, the warmth seeped into her skin, relaxing her muscles and calming her racing thoughts.

In the solitude of the bathroom, Kaguya's mind painted vivid images of the day – the luxurious restaurant, the laughter, Rudy's gentle gestures, and the camaraderie she had shared with both Rudy and Maria. The scenes played like a dream, leaving a soft smile on Kaguya's lips.

As the hot water enveloped her, Kaguya's mind drifted into a realm of wishes and fantasies. She imagined a life where every day was as full of joy and companionship as today had been. Her heart ached for the possibility of more, of a deeper connection with Rudy beyond friendship. But the realization that Rudy already had Maria, who was carrying their child, cast a shadow of doubt over her fantasies.

With a heavy sigh, Kaguya leaned back against the tub, her fingers tracing aimless patterns in the water. She acknowledged the futility of her desires, knowing that her feelings for Rudy couldn't change the reality of the situation. She had seen the love and bond between Rudy and Maria, and she wouldn't disrupt that.

As the minutes passed, Kaguya's thoughts became more serene, her mind embracing a mixture of acceptance and longing. She let the warmth of the water cocoon her, allowing herself this fleeting moment of vulnerability and introspection. The soft glow of the bathroom lights created a sense of tranquility, and Kaguya found solace in the embrace of the bathwater.

Kaguya's wet body glistened softly under the bathroom's warm lighting as droplets of water trickled down her smooth skin. Her damp hair clung to her shoulders and back, framing her face with tendrils that carried a touch of steam. The moisture created a subtle sheen, enhancing the gentle curves and contours of her figure.

The small droplets adorned her collarbone like delicate jewels, while rivulets of water traced their way down her arms, accentuating the supple lines. Her skin, flush from the hot bath, held a rosy tint that added to her natural allure. With every movement, the droplets danced and shimmered, painting a picture of quiet sensuality. The air around her held the soothing scent of bath oils, infusing the atmosphere with a sense of relaxation and tranquility.

Eventually, Kaguya got out of the bathtub, wrapping herself in a towel and stepping out onto the cool tiles of the bathroom floor. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes holding a mixture of determination and wistfulness. Her heart may yearn for something more, but she knew that she had to respect the boundaries that already existed in Rudy's life.

Kaguya emerged from the bathroom, her skin slightly flushed from the warmth of the bath. She moved with a deliberate grace, her wet hair cascading over her shoulders and down her back. As she entered her bedroom, she glanced around the dimly lit space, the soft glow of a bedside lamp casting a warm ambiance.

She closed the door behind her, leaving the rest of the world outside as she sought solace within the comfort of her own space.

Carefully placing the towel on a nearby chair, Kaguya felt the cool air of the room brush against her skin, a sensation that sent a gentle shiver down her spine, her gaze momentarily drawn to the soft fabric before she turned her attention to the bed. She hesitated for a moment, her heart racing with a mix of anticipation and vulnerability. Then, with a determined exhale, she stepped towards the bed and gracefully lowered herself onto the plush mattress.

Naked and unburdened by the constraints of clothing, Kaguya cocooned herself with a cozy blanket. The cool air of the room mingled with the warmth of her skin, creating a cocoon of comfort that she relished. She stretched out, the soft fabric of the blanket brushing against her sensitized flesh.

Kaguya's fingers brushed against the table by the bedside, seeking out her phone in the dim light. The device came to life under her touch, illuminating her face with its soft glow. She navigated to the photo gallery with practiced ease, her heart fluttering in anticipation of the memories captured earlier in the day.

The images from today's unforgettable moments with Rudy and Maria filled the screen, and Kaguya's lips curled into a serene smile. Each image held a moment frozen in time – Rudy's charismatic grin, Maria's infectious laughter, and the camaraderie that had wrapped around them like a warm embrace. Kaguya's heart swelled as she relived the moments, her thoughts traversing through the scenes of the day.

With her phone resting on her chest, Kaguya let herself get lost in the memories. She traced the contours of their faces with her fingertip, her mind retracing the steps they had taken, the words they had shared, and the emotions that had flowed freely. The silent intimacy of the photos served as a testament to the connection they had formed, capturing something both tangible and ethereal.

Exhaustion settled over Kaguya's body, a gentle reminder that the day had been both physically and emotionally demanding. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she felt herself drifting, caught between wakefulness and slumber. The phone slipped from her fingers, coming to rest on the bedspread beside her.
