Chapter 216 - Constantly Thinking Of Her
There is more to the woman called Ibuki Sumire than meets the eye. He knew from the moment they met that she differed from all the others.
When he first kissed Ibuki Sumire, it was hungry, wanting, and desperate. Yuhi initially wanted to give her a sweet and romantic kiss. But he did not want to scare her away. He did not want her to know how much he loved her and did not want her to confirm his feelings before he understood.
Nowadays whenever he kisses her, it was the sort of kiss he would give to somebody he loves. To the girl, he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
......
It was difficult for him to focus when all he could think of was Ibuki Sumire. She is constantly in his mind anyway, but today she was taking over him completely. She was not allowing him any space to think of anything else.
After they left the library, they returned to his place, cooked dinner, watched movies, and then fell asleep in each other's arms. Something was comforting about it; they didn't kiss or touch as they did in the car. They simply held each other, and that was enough for him.
_1.jpeg)
It was enough that she was in his arms.
Today he was in the studio recording his new album. But he kept making mistakes over and over. Hino looked like he wanted to snap, but he has yet to do so.
Yuhi was waiting for him to get angry. If Hino got mad at him, then maybe it would snap him out of this strange mood or daze. He did not know.
A text from the lovely lady occupying his thoughts caught his attention.
From: Sumire
I think you need a break.
From: Yuhi
A break?
From: Sumire
Yes, lunch with me. But at my workplace cafeteria, the food here is excellent.
Yuhi laughs when he saw her reply. The coffee in the place Sumire is working at now is terrible, and the food is bland. He looks over at Hino, who was taking his anger out onto somebody else.
From: Yuhi
Hino won't disturb us; he is occupied.
He knew that even if he went to lunch, Hino would not bother him.
From: Sumire
I will be there in fifteen minutes.
This is one of the things he likes about her. She does not try to please him by pretending to be sweet on text messages; she does not hide her mood. If she is angry, she is angry. If something upsets her - she will make sure to tell him.
What bothered her now? She is working with Sano today. Yuhi looks over at the building across the road from the window. Whenever she works with Sano, he makes sure he is working somewhere nearby.
That man is on his best behavior lately, but he does not trust Sano at all. He knew if Sano wanted to take Sumire away by force, he could easily do so. Normally he would ask Shin to stay with her, but with Atsuro's return, that guy will be busy.
From: Yuhi
Are you wearing something pretty?
From: Sumire
My favourite dress.
From: Yuhi
So what's the occasion?
From: Sumire
Lunch date with a man called Terashima Yuhi.
His lips curve to a smile. Sumire always knows how to make him feel better. The gloomy atmosphere around him from a few minutes ago seems to have vanished.
"Yuhi, take a break."
"Huh? Now?"
"You have a visitor."
At that comment, he turned and looked over at the doorway. It was Shin with some documents in his hands. Yuhi puts the sheet music in his hands down onto the table. He strolled over to the door and closed it.
"For Sumire?"
"You can read it too but yes for her. I can't exactly meet with her with Atsuro around."
Yuhi raises his eyebrows at this. "You don't have to act so cautiously. Your friends with Sumire, just because Atsuro is here, doesn't mean you have to stop speaking to her."
"I understand, but you should know how he is." Shin sighs. "When it comes to her, he is.."
Yuhi stops him from finishing his sentence. "I know. But Sumire is going through a harsh time right now. Atsuro making a fuss over his feelings toward her and the unresolved things from back then will not help."
"Back then, huh? Yuhi, do you...know what happened with those two?" Shin trails of. "I mean, do you know about that?"
"That?"
Shin looks away. "I don't think I should be the one telling you this."
"At least give a hint."
At that comment, Shin looked around and took his phone out. He hears a beep sound, and Yuhi glances down.
He frowned when he saw the message. "Is that for real?"
"Take it as you will. But there is no doubt that something like that must have happened; I caught them that way several times."
It can't be; he could tell when he touched her. He could tell that she was still new to all of this. Yuhi sighs. It isn't an easy subject he could mention to her. There is no doubt that it was something traumatizing.
From: Sumire
Five minutes.
Geez, she is too eager.
"Sumire?"
Yuhi nodded. "Let's discuss this another time."
.....
When he arrived at the cafeteria, he could tell Sumire was pissed off from the way she folded her arms across her chest. From the creases between her eyes.
She wore a white off-shoulder dress that made her look more sophisticated and mature than usual. High boots, black tights. Surrounded by the plain cafeteria walls, she looked like even more of a goddess.
Other people, mainly guys, kept looking over and whistling. Indeed she was gorgeous, but she looked angry, but there was sadness in her eyes.
"Hi." Yuhi took her hand. "Are you my lunch date?" He starts off playful, hoping he could male her smile.
She turned to him with a tearful look, but it was only for a split second. Her ice queen face appeared right as he was about to say another word.
"Im your wife," Sumire answered.
Ah, so she is his wife now? He would smile like an idiot if she didn't look so sad and miserable. Yuhi wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "Come with me somewhere for a bit."
She nods and follows him out of the cafeteria.
Yuhi found a quiet spot in the hallways and pulls her into his arms. "What's wrong?"
"Sano."
"Sano?" Yuhi repeated. He never saw her look like this before.
So distraught and so miserable. What did that man do?
Sumire then explains how the meeting today ended up. "All his exes were there, at least the ones he cheated on me with today. I ignored it and did my part in the meeting. But it felt like they were deliberately edging me on so I could get angry."
"Did you?"
"I did. It was stupid of me to get mad, but now Sano probably thinks I care or something aaahh. I regret it so much."
At that comment, he sighs deeply. "Well I did tell you it was a bad idea to work on anything with him. If you want to invest in a business," He plays with her hands. "You could invest in mine."
"Yuhis business?"
"Mmm." His lips curve to a smile when he felt her hands on the button of his clothes. "Have a look later?"
Sumire nods, then she wraps her arms around his neck. "Did you forget something?"

Chapter 217 - Make Me Forget
Yuhi bent down and kissed her lips. "What did I forget?"
"Me, you left me behind."
He lowered his lips again and kept kissing her. Her lips are very addicting. But Yuhi knew better than to get passionate with her right now. She seems so very sad right now. He understood what happened from what she said just now. But it bothered him that Sumire reacted that way. Sano did that deliberately just to see her reaction, it seemed like it worked.
Yuhi felt her undo the button slowly and he grabbed her hand. "At home."
"I just want to look."
"You know I don't mind that, but right now you're angry."
Sumire looks away. "I behaved so stupidly, and I feel so humiliated right now."
Yuhi moved his hand away from hers and brushed his fingers on the knob of her anklebone. "It was stupid. But your human Sumire, you have every right to feel those emotions. People will say a lot things and judge you. There will be those who won't listen no matter how many times you explain."
"I know the world is a shitty place."
"But there will be those who will listen, those who will stand by your side no matter what happens."
She is quiet for a moment before asking.
"Like you?"
"Like me, but I am one of a kind Princess."
"Yuhi, I would really like it if we just stop talking. If you kissed me non stop. I want it to go away, all this pain."
"Yeah."
The reason why Sumire is having a hard time is because she understood it. She cant get herself wasted, go to parties, and behave unreasonably. She is smarter than that; she understood how pointless those coping methods are.
The only way for her to deal with the pain is to rely on somebody. It is a good thing he is here for her; otherwise she would use unspeakable coping methods. Methods such as self-harm, Sumire hides it well, but he saw those scars.
How much pain and grief did she suffer - he hears the sound of his belt being unbuckled. "Sumire?"
"I need to forget, please, Yuhi."
He bit his lip. This was not the way he wanted to do this with her. But how could he push her away when she is in so much pain? He squeezed her hands. "Let's go somewhere."
...
He doesn't bother with a shower or anything else. Sumire was the one leading him to the bed the moment they got inside. He pushes her down, and her head hits the pillow. Yuhi brought his lips to the strap of her dress removes it.
Sumire wrapped her arms around his neck and started crying. Yuhi kisses her temple softly. "Ssh."
"Yuhi."
"I know." He knew, of course, he did. She was in so much pain right now and did not know what to do. She no longer understood what to do with herself.
His hand crept up her back as he undid the last strap. Sumire immediately covers her face, and Yuhi kisses her fingertips softly. "Ssh."
"I'm sorry I am such a mess."
Yuhi shook his head. "That's my line." This is all because of him. She must have been triggered by his state when she got him at the party.
He spends the next few minutes kissing and touching her all over.
"Yuhi,, I think I am nervous."
He raises his eyebrows and chuckles. "Well we could stop if you want?" It was killing him to stop, but he does not want her to feel pressured.
Sumire slowly nodded, and he pulls away. Yuhi could not help but sigh. He did think it was too, good to be true, but still, maybe he should have just gone through with it. He wrapped the blanket around her.
"Sorry, your mad right?"
"Well, not mad, just frustrated."
"If you want to—"
He shook his head. "I have been debating with rational me since before we even got here. Debating whether it is is okay for me to do this. I know your upset, and you need somebody. That is what I am here for. I would rather you pick me then end up somebody else prey. But, I don't want you to think I am taking advantage of this situation."
Sumire laughs softly. "Well, I did think that."
"That's why--"
She shook her head. "Sorry, Yuhi. I'm still not calm, could you come here?"
Yuhi reluctantly laid down beside her. He was reluctant because he could not help but think about what almost happened a few minutes ago. He understood that she meant well, but it frustrated him.
He pulled her arms around her and buried his lips on her neck. "Do you still like Sano?"
Sumire responded by kissing his forehead. "I like Yuhi."
"Yeah, sorry for asking." But her reaction to Sano and those other women bother him a lot.
Back when Sano first came here, he said something about Sumire one day returning to him. At that time, Yuhi questioned the man for being so confident.
Now he understood why he behaved that way. Indeed if this continues, one day, Sumire would end up falling to Sano's trap again. He needs to make sure that doesn't happen. Yuhi cups her face, and she laughs softly. "This feels silly."
"You think?"
Sumire nodded. "Yes, I do, but it isn't bad being like this with you."
He kisses her lips softly. "Princess, the world called to ask for you back."
She rolled her eyes and giggled. "Im right here."
Yuhi squeezed her hands under the sheets. "Coming to a place like this, though, usually it involves preparation. I didn't check if the paparazzi were following us."
"Well, we are in a relationship."
"Yeah, but your underage." It always bothered Yuhi that she was underage. Look how beautiful she looks, how is it possible that she is underage?
He plays with her hair. "You know this worked out well for me."
"It did?"
"Now I have an excuse not to return to the recording."
Sumire sighs. "I feel bad for Hino."
"Don't be, he understands."
Hino understood Sumire's situation, but at the same time, the man was frustrated. Hino knew he has to be there for Sumire, but at the same time, he wanted to pull him away from her. If it were any old girl, then Hino would not have made an exception. He would give her the same speech about girls being the enemy and all.
His thoughts broke off when he felt a pair of gentle and warm lips pressed against his. Yuhi wraps his arms around her waist and allows Sumire to continue kissing him.
Sumire is a good kisser. At first, he thought she was somewhat sloppy, but it did not take him long to realize she was merely shy.

Chapter 218 - I Am Here For You
She kisses very well and knows that kissing does not just involve their tongues mashing against each other. It consists of a bit of touching. He lifts her shirt and touches her. There was something different about the way she was kissing him now. He seemed hungry and almost desperate.
When she eventually pulled away, he simply stared at her. Sumire was blushing madly and seemed almost nervous.
Yuhi found that cute considering how she was feverishly kissing him just moments ago. "Was that my surprise?"
Sumire kept her head low.
"Re-match?"
"I am going to sleep." Sumire turned away from him.
Is she sulking? Yuhi brought his face to her neck and placed some gentle kisses there. "So, hey, about Sano."
"Yes?"
"I thought you should just reject him straight up. The only reason he behaves that way is--"
Sumire turned around and brushed her fingers across his lips. "Don't."
".."
"I know what you are trying to say, Yuhi. But for now, let's leave this matter alone. There are so many things going on right now."
"Sorry." He apologizes and kisses her forehead. "My bad, I was jealous. It was stupid."
"Thank you so much." She mumbled softly. "You know if it weren't for you, I would have done something reckless by now. You already saw what I tried to do on the first day I came here. Going to a place like that. Before you came, I almost started a fight."
He raises his eyebrows. "A fight?"
Sumire laughs. "Yes, I saw a group of girls from my home town who did not like me. I almost walked up to them to cause problems. I am glad I didn't do that now; it would have caused a lot of problems."
"I wouldn't mind saving you from a brawl."
"It depends, would you save the enemy? They are the ones who will need saving."
Yuhi sweat fell. "Well, that's true."
"It is nice being here with you and everybody else. It makes me feel like a normal girl."
"You are a normal girl."
She shook her head. "We both know that isn't true. Even if I wasn't a mess, I don't think I can be normal with this cynical view on life. You see, I can't trust people. Just like how they gave up on me, I gave up on them too. No matter how close I am with someone, I cannot help but think there is something wrong. When something bad happens, I will naturally assume that they no longer like or want to be with me. I naturally assume that there is nobody who will stick by my side."
Yuhi bit his lip when he heared her say those words. "Sumire, you know I won't--" He stops himself from saying that he would never leave her. No matter what she does, he will always stick by her side.
But those words will mean nothing to her now. Yuhi could tell even without looking at her eyes, and they were empty. He holds her tightly, and Sumire laughs. "What's wrong?"
"I love you."
He loves her - this is all he can do to get rid of her unease. Maybe these words will make her happy? To her surprise, he sees the tears in her eyes.
It wasn't surprising, but right at that moment, he did not know what to do.
Sumire needs all the love and affection she can get for now after feeling so neglected and alone. Yuhi knew he didn't have to kiss or do anything to her to make her feel happy. Right now, these words are enough for her.
He lowered his face and licked her tears away. "Salty."
"Stupid."
"I could say the same right back at you. Ssh Sumire, I am here for you."
"I know, and I know I am behaving stupid and strange. But Yuhi, you don't say anything about it..."
He chuckled softly. "Do you want me to say something?"
Sumire nods. "Sometimes, I do. Sometimes I wish you didn't understand all the time. You know I---I like you so much, Yuhi. But sometimes I think this is all a dream. How is it possible for me to be so happy right now--" He cuts her off by slipping a piece of chocolate in her mouth.
"Hotel freebie." He trailed off. "Tasty?"
"Mmm, tasty."
"So, do you want to stay here, or should we go back home?"
Sumire buries her face in his arms. "Stay, there's a bed here and a shower."
Yuhi kisses her lips. "You prefer the bed?"
"Uh-huh," She trails of. "Yuhi, take this off." She points to his shirt, which he slipped back on earlier. "It's too hot here."
Yuhi rolls his eyes. "Needy?"
"Needy." She repeated. He felt her eyes dart towards his chest. "I would like to get a better look."
"Alright." Yuhi slowly removed his shirt and noticed Sumire looking him up and down. Hungry and passionate, looking eyes, and yet her face was redder than he ever saw before.
She hesitantly extended her hand out and ran her fingers on his chest. Each movement of her fingers slowly drove him crazy.
"Sumire, what do you want to do?"
"Just touch."
Yuhi frowns when he hears her words. If she is going to be bold, she ought to see it through to the very end. Then again, this isn't a bad thing either. After a few minutes, Sumire removed her hands, and then she looks down at the ground. "Will you hug me?"
"Yeah." He picked up the shirt, but she immediately stopped him. "Like this?"
"Yes."
It seems he will have to rethink whether she is innocent or not.
..........
When he woke up and did not find her beside him anymore, Yuhi immediately understood. He ran his hands through his hair and walked over to the bathroom. Shower, food, and then he will find Sumire.
He stepped into the bathroom and slid open the shower door only to find a figure hunched up by the toilet seat. He looked over and saw a murky liquid and frowned. Did she feel sick when she was on her way out?
Sumire dressed to go out.
Yuhi scooped the girl up in his arms, only to notice a trace of blood against her lips. His eyes widened, horrified, and he felt his palms turn sweaty. He looked over at the ground and noticed it at last—a trail of blood.

Chapter 219 - What Do I Do With These Feelings?
As a doctor, Sano thought he already dealt with everything. He thought he adjusted to seeing people's distraught faces. But nothing beats the look on Terashima Yuhi's face right now. He thought he already saw everything, but this was something else.
"She will be fine after an examination."
".."
"Terashima, look, she isn't dead." Sano had to say it. He knew it wasn't the right time. He almost thought she was dead too when he saw all that blood.
He was about to leave when a man with bright red hair rushed past. "Sumire?"
"Examination."
The redhead clicked his tongue annoyed. "Why bring her to a hospital? You know I'm back.. I know your jealous and all that. But think about her life first."
"What about the child?" Yuhi suddenly questioned.
Sano sighs. "The child is healthier than she is." He glances over at the redhead, man. Why does this person seem familiar? It feels like he has met-- red hair?
"Atsuro, you go and take a look."
"Of course, I will."
Kusaji Atsuro? Recognition filled his eyes, and Sano sighs. It seems like these guys appear before Sumire one after another. He ought to hurry up before that man shows up.
"I will lead you to her."
Sano didn't want any of them near Sumire. But not only did he feel bad for Terashima, but he knew Kusaji Atsuro's reputation. He is a genius doctor. If it's him, then he should know what happened to her.
...
The examination is already finished when he brings them to her room. Sumire is sitting up while the nurse took her temperature. "You still have a high fever. Unfortunately, I don't know what the cause for the blood was."
"Do I have to stay?"
"Overnight for safety, we will run a few more tests later on."
"Okay."
"Is there anybody you would like to call?"
"Yuhi." Sumire trails off and laughs softly. "Um, my boyfriend. Is there a phone I could use?"
"I believe he is the young gentleman who carried you here. I believe he is still around--" The nurse did not get a chance to say anything since Yuhi rushed past.
"Sumire."
The girl laughs softly. "Oh, your still here. Uh, sorry. I probably caused you problems."
Sano looks over at Kusaji Atsuro, who remained silent the whole time. He wonders what this man is thinking watching this scene. He dismisses the nurse and walks over.
"How are you feeling?"
Sumire's gaze turned hostile. "This is your fault."
"Wait, did you eat.."
"I was hungry."
Sano clicked his tongue, annoyed. Even though he warned her not to eat anything? Then again, she is pregnant, so she must get food cravings. How silly of him not to prepare something for her beforehand.
"Thankfully, my little one is okay."
Yuhi was hugging Sumire protectively, so it was hard for him to get a look at her. "Yuhi quit being silly for a moment. I think the doctor needs to check something."
He looks towards Kusaji Atsuro. "Go ahead."
The silent redhead strolled over, and then he hears a slapping sound. A red mark appeared on Sumire's face. Despite Terashima's protection, Kusaji Atsuro managed to hit her.
The girl sighs. "This is what I don't like about you. Do you think violence will solve anything?"
Atsuro did not say a word.
"Since you're here, make yourself useful." She extended her arm out.
Sano watched as Kusaji sat on the stool and pulled some bottles and a syringe out of his bag.
So, this is how she is now. Since she made that business proposal, Sano silently observes her see what she will do. He observes her so he could learn more about the present her. The Ibuki Sumire now is a lot more interesting than the one in the past.
Sano wondered what had changed. Or could it be she was like this before? Whenever he looks back at the past, at the memories they shared, he can't remember anymore.
"If you want to continue that business deal, get rid of those girls."
He only brought them along to please the executives, but now he understood that it was a mistake.
Sano intended to test her but he decided against it. So when she reacted that way it surprised him.
"Very well, then I also have some conditions. When we are at my workplace, listen to me."
He warned her about the food, he did tell her if she wanted anything tell him.
Sumire slowly nodded.
"Second, you have to let me answer Yuhis calls."
At that comment Terashima looks over. "Is that why you could only text me?"
He had a good reason for that.

He had a good reason for that. But it seems like she won't listen to him right now.
"Third, and this should be the first thing. Our personal affairs have nothing to do with the business. So if you do try something funny again--" She trails off, and suddenly, a burst of coughs escaped her lips.
Yuhi pats her back; worry flashed through his eyes. Right at that moment, Atsuro injected something into the girl's arm.
"Warn me!" Sumire exclaimed.
"Then don't cough like that out of nowhere."
Sano sighs as he watches the two. Sometimes he can't tell if Sumire has grown-up or not. Sometimes she has her moments where she behaves like a child, and yet his gaze fell towards her body. Even in the hospital nightgown for patients, she looks gorgeous.
He felt a piercing gaze and realized Terashima was glaring at him.
This one is a problem. Sano thought he could get to Sumire. He thought it would be easy to have her under his control again. But it turns out that isn't the case here. She loves Terashima Yuhi, and it left a bitter taste in his mouth.
He would not openly show his jealousy, but there was no doubt he was jealous whenever he saw them together.
If, by chance, he does not get her back, what does he do with these feelings?

ETERNAL MELODY
Chapter 220 - I Want You
Yuhi knew Sumire was annoyed when she slammed the bathroom door shut and said she would shower alone.
It took him all his strength not to go in there after her.
For the past few hours since Sano and Atsuro left, Yuhi couldn't help but cling to her. He would not let her go even for a moment. When she finally slipped away, she said something along the lines of personal space.
He gets it, and he was annoying.
Yuhi traced the girl's sketchpad, thinking. Sumire draws and paints very well. He wants to take her to France and study there. But she has a career here. A job that barely took off before that accident happened.
His thoughts broke off when Sumire re-emerged from the bathroom. Her hair wet and towel in hand. "So, do I have the honors of drying your hair?"
Sumire sighed and walked over to him. She looked bothered by something from the creases on her eyebrows.
He took the towel and sat her down on the bed. "You know, you should just tell me when I get too clingy."
"Well, about getting clingy, normally I won't mind. But I've been feeling sick and terrible since earlier."
"You did cough out blood. Are you sure that was normal food poisoning?"
Sumire nodded. "It seems so, and they did another test."
So it came out as blood because she was pregnant? He does not get the science to all of this. Then again, science was never his thing. Yuhi felt her gaze on him, and he chuckles. "Need something?"
"Still needy. I think my hormones are going crazy lately. How is it possible to want you all the time, but when it comes to doing it, I stop you."
That is his question. "You want me?"
"All the time. Like there is something in my head just telling me to pounce on you."
This is the first time he is hearing what is going on in that pretty head of hers. But then again, he never asks her about her feelings for him. Yuhi plays with the idea that she is madly in love with him like he is with her.
Her amethyst colored eyes meet his, and he felt his heartbeat increase. Sumire extended her hand out and caressed his cheeks. "When Im eighteen, I can do whatever I want with these strange feelings. I can't wait any longer; waiting is killing me."
So dramatic, and yet he felt the same way about her. He wants to learn more things about her from now on.
"There are other ways."
Sumire tilts her head innocently. "Other ways?"
"Other ways, I could show you if you would like."
Yuhi knew he was talking crazy. What things will he show her? Is he out of his mind? But he couldn't miss how her lips curve to a shy sort of smile as she covers her mouth.
"I guess I have to rely on you there Yuhi-san, I don't know what other things you have in mind. But I will need your guidance; that's for sure."
Look at her replying, so politely, surely Sumire understands what he is trying to say? Yuhi looks at the girl, frustrated. "Your messing with me, aren't you?"
"Mm, maybe I am."
This girl is impossible. Yuhi sighs deeply. "I think you understand by now, Sumire, but I am very serious about you."
"Dating with the purpose of marriage in mind, right?"
"Yes."
Sumire nods. "You see, Yuhi, I don't mind that at all. But I just have a few things I need to settle first."
A few things, huh? "Why did you send Atsuro away, surely you wanted to speak to him?
Yuhi recalls what Shin told him and clenched his fist. Is the main reason why Sumire is avoiding Atsuro not because of Mamoru's situation but
"Look at that face. I guess somebody told you already."
".."
"It was nothing." She sighs deeply. "Well, I suppose it was something. There was a time where I could no longer take it when I was at the very bottom of hell. I just wanted the pain to go away. I missed Ru so much."
So it was something that happened recently? "Did you two..."
"At the start, it was only a bit of fooling around. Honestly, I couldn't tell at first. My emotions and everything around me seemed dead. But after a while, I realized what he wanted from me, and I just went along with it because it was too painful."
".."
"Does it bother you that I slept with him?"
Yuhi shook his head. "No, I just--"
It was hard to picture. He knew Atsuro liked Sumire, other guys like her too. But he never saw them as a threat. Why would he recognize them as a threat? Sumire made it clear that she had a cynical view towards love. She made it clear unless it was Mamoru; she did not intend to get close to anybody.
Atsuro has stronger feelings than he thought. Or does he only want her for that?
"I can't criticize you. I told you the story regarding my last girlfriend, didn't I?"
"Mmm."
"It was something like that too."
Still to think Sumire was in a sexual relationship with Kusaji Atsuro. No wonder she behaves that way towards him. He felt her defensiveness towards him was strange, but he did not say anything about it.
Sumire leaned forward. "But I have never felt this way towards Atsuro before, not even with Ru."
"Sumire.."
"Do you trust me, Yuhi?" She mumbled softly.
Of course, he trusts her. No matter what she does, he will believe her.
"I do, so don't hurt yourself like that again," Yuhi whispered as he took her hand in his. "Was it worth it? Sleeping with somebody you have no feelings for?"
"It wasn't worth it at all. I understood that. When I wanted to stop it, he stopped, but it was awkward. I didn't know how to face him after everything." Sumire trails off. "We stopped, but he kept getting close and overstepping some boundaries. It was a hassle. I was worried people would notice."
That man probably thought that nobody else other than him saw Sumire like this. He probably didn't see Mamoru as competition, since it only happened once. As a guy, Yuhi could understand what he thought.
