Eternal Melody Chapter 80 - So Shameless

Chapter 80 - So Shameless

Monday 25th March 2015

They spent the sunday relaxing and in each other's arms. Sumire felt delighted knowing that Yuhi liked that more than going out. She may take charge of all their dates and outings, but that does not mean anything at all. She feels more comfortable spending time inside and cuddling. Her gaze fell on the person sat directly across her. Yuhi borrowed somebody's seat as the teacher went on to talk about the portrait task. The entire morning he had his back away from the teacher, so she knew he was not listening to the lesson.

No since earlier he kept looking at her. What is wrong with this man? Why does he keep looking at her? When she woke up in the morning, she found Yuhi staring at her too.

"Yuhi-san." Sumire whispered. "I know I am pretty, but could you go back to your seat?"

"It is hard for me to look at you there. Your side profile is nice. But I want to get a better look at your face."

Sumire stared at him utterly speechless. She was only making a guess, but he was looking at her face after all?

"Teras.h.i.+ma." Shusei called out. The teacher was very angry. "I understand that a new couple spends a lot of time flirting and have their head in the clouds. But as the top student, could you set a better example?"

At that comment Yuhi briefly turned around. "Sensei, I don't know why you are blaming only me."

"Is there anybody else I should blame?"

"You should blame Sumire too. If she weren't so pretty then I would be listening to the lesson."

Her eyes twitched in annoyance when she heard those words. This guy is unbelievable…

...

During the break, several girls came up to her and asked for some advice. But Yuhi chased them away.

It did not occur to Sumire that Yuhi would get jealous over the opposite girl too. But it seems like she does not know him as well as she thought. "Yuhi-san, could I ask what you are doing now?"

"Hugging."

"No, this is hara.s.sment." Sumire trailed off and sighed. Well it did feel nice, she would not deny that. "Yuhi." She mumbled softly. "Is something wrong? You seem bothered by something again."

"-leave.. don't leave me Sumire."

Her eyes widened when she heard those words. Yuhi is more attached to her than she thought. No, it isn't attachment. He likes her. Her gaze softened and she felt a warm feeling spread across her chest. "I won't leave you silly."

I like you too much to do that.

Sumire however held those words back, for some reason she could not say it. She gently ran her hands through his hair. "Yuhi.."

"Kiss me."

Sumire lightly brushed their lips together.

..

"Sorry about that." Yuhi said as he pulled away from her. "You wanted me for something right?"

Sumire noded. "Orimoto-senpai said you have the keys to the large library in the general building. Could you give it to me?"

"Huh, you want to go there?"

"Well, I figured I would take advantage of it."

If it is a large library, there will surely be many books there. Perhaps she can find the book she was searching for this entire time. Ever since she made that deal with Yuhi, Sumire has advanced her research a lot more. Ru was investigating something and she managed to get the doc.u.ments from his study. She had Asuka send everything from his study to her.

At first the doc.u.ments did not make much sense to her, but as time went by she understood.

Yuhi must have read her thoughts since he brushed his lips against her neck. "Let me come with you. Yeah?"

"Yuhi.."

"Don't do anything alone Sumire, we are in this together."

"Thank you so much."

His lips curve to a smile and he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Cool, then let me fetch my bag from the cla.s.sroom. I will fetch your stuff too."

"Okay."

With those words said, she watched as Yuhi left the cla.s.sroom. The moment he left, Sumire slumped to the ground and buried her face in her arms. Whenever it comes to Yuhi, she ends up acting like an idiot. She recalled the gentle kiss just now and sighed. She does feel happy… Yuhi is very good to her. In the short time since they started dating, he has treated her very well.

But she still has complicated feelings about everything. Is this truly okay? Is it okay for her to be happy with him?

...............

Sumire did not know how she got to the library but she vaguely recalled somebody carrying her. When she opened her eyes and realized that she was nestled into Yuhis arms. Sumire knew it was him who carried her. She extended her hand out to caress his cheeks. Her thoughts broke off when he opened his eyes.

"Yuhi."

"Mmm, sorry fell asleep. You alright?"

"I am."

Yuhi placed his hand on her forehead. "You dont have a fever, but you pa.s.sed out earlier." He trailed off. "Take care of yourself more Sumire."

So kind, and so very gentle. She wonders why this person treats her so well.

The two of them remained that way for the next few minutes before they eventually sat up. Yuhi still seemed groggy but he helped her browse through the book shelves. For a place that n.o.body uses anymore there were certainly a lot of books. It surprised her when she saw so many.

The books she was looking for are books on agriculture and the general history of today's society. Such general books and yet Sumire knew she would be able to link it with Mamoru's research.

"Is there something on your mind lately?" Yuhi suddenly asked.

"It's nothing."

"Didn't I tell you before? Only children act stubborn."

Her eyes twitched in annoyance when she heard those words. Why does he always act this way? What a rude mouth! She supposes that is the one thing that hasn't changed about him. Still he made a point. After not meeting one another in so long, he still makes her sound like an idiot.

"It's just I haven't seen you in so long." Sumire mumbled. "Since I came here, we haven't really spoken about what has happened in the past year."

So much has happened since she arrived, so it made sense why they could not have their little reunion chat. But now that they are dating, she would like to hear more.?????ℯ??????. c?m

"So are you bringing that up because you missed me?"

T--this man is so shameless! If she admits it, it would feel like she has lost. But it is indeed true that she has missed him. What good will it do her if she lies? Besides this is a lie that is not necessary. Some lies are needed to help save people, but this one is nothing.

She took a deep breath. "Of course I missed you. I missed you a lot." Sumire is glad that she had her back turned from him. She knew even without looking at a mirror how flushed her entire face was.

"I missed you too, Sumire. But there is so much to say, I wouldnt even know where to begin."

"Well, you can start off by talking about other girls." She trailed off. "I am curious Yuhi-san, how many rivals do I have?"

She watched as a troubled look appeared on his face and Sumire questioned him more. "The entertainment world G.o.ddess, what is your relations.h.i.+p with her?"

At that comment she watched as Yuhi sighed. "d.a.m.n, how did you--"

She pulled her phone out and showed Yuhi a message. It was the one Sano sent her the other day. A beautiful girl and Yuhi in the alleyway. So before she came and got him he was with that girl.

"I told you not to read his messages."

"I was curious." That was a lie, she actually read the message by mistake. Sumire is glad that she did.

"Well we have this fake relations.h.i.+p going on." Yuhi trailed off and quickly explained. "It was set up by the company. We just have to act like a couple, it isn't an official thing."

"So how did this happen?" Sumire asked. She doubts the company would set the two up if they were not related.

"I had a one night stand with one of her friends. She caught me and promised me that she would not say a word as long as I could attend a party with her. I did that but you could guess what happened."

"Other people misunderstood."

"Yeah." Yuhi trailed off. "The president didn't like it either but it was the only way to stop the strange rumors from happening."

A deep sigh crossed her lips when she heard those words. Why do people bother doing such pointless things? Why does Yuhi have to suffer so much?
