Eternal Melody

Chapter 630 Why did you leave me?

Huan seemed very pleased with Yuhi's response while she started preparing for dinner. The two were playing happily together.

When she finally finished making the meal, she looked up and saw Huan fast asleep on the small beanbag.

Sumire walked over and carried him over to the couch, and wrapped a blanket around him.

"He must be tired. It's been awhile since he last went anywhere, after all. "

Sensing her tone, Yuhi reached over and pulled her towards him, "It's not your fault. "

"Thank you, Yuhi."

Yuhi nodded and gave her a gentle smile.

So very kind, she has never met another person who could dispel all the dark emotions in her heart with a single smile. Whenever he touches her, she feels such warmth.

Yuhi lets her go after a while, yet he continues to hold her hand. He brought them upstairs to the rooftop, and the two of them sat down on the ground, their backs against the railing. How familiar this frequently happened with Mamoru on the rooftop in Tsukuhara beven this was started because of Yuhi.

"Say Yuhi."

"Hmmm?"

"The pro art league competition, will we enter?"

Although she wanted to discuss more about what Touko-san told her, she wanted to get this out of the way. She recalled Soujiro's words and what Atsuro had just mentioned. It seems those people are taking bold actions. If so, their peaceful days will be stained with red.

The pro art league competition is a tournament held in Japan, but people from all over the world enter. It is a national-scale painting tournament.

"If you want."

"So, are you not interested?"

"That's not it. I already decided a long time ago that I'd enter the pro league one day. Even before I knew of your skill, I wanted to enter it with you someday. However," he brushes his free hand on her forehead. "Recently, you seem paler than usual, and you've been throwing up quite a bit. I do not want to push you if you're sick. "

So kind, he really is far too kind to her. " I'm alright, Yuhi. Your warmth makes me feel better."

It is not like her health is getting worse; she throws up and looks pale due to Sano's medication. It is a side effect, but if she tells Yuhi that, he will surely tell her to stop taking it.

"Really, you're so selfish. If you say cute stuff like that, I'll attack you again."

Sumire chuckles softly. "I see, so you were holding back after all?"

"Of course I was. Even I won't be rough on you when you're sick. " Yuhi trails off. "Whenever you mention Mamoru, I become too reckless and uncomfortable. Well, it can't be helped you feel the same when I'm with Cassie too. Back then, you didn't realize it did you? That you cared about him a lot. "

"Ah."

How strange, he's actually talking about it.

Even though they can no longer go back to those times.

"Weren't you the one who was encouraging me back then? ' Experience it for yourself, love with someone you already care about.'"

At those words, she heard Yuhi grumble and stopped herself from chuckling.

"You remember that well, huh?"

"If I was capable of forgetting so easily, would I not have done so already on numerous things?"

If she could just forget, she wouldn't be doing such bold actions with anyone aside from Yuhi. If she could forget the pain Sano caused her, she wouldn't bother dealing with him anymore.

Unfortunately, she cannot forget the pain and grief from that day. After all, it was the day she truly gave up on people.

'Ru, I am really sorry. But even if you are important to me, for me, the one I love is Yuhi. But despite that the feeling I have towards Ru has yet to go away. '

"Sumire, it's alright. "

It was showing on her face, huh? No, even if it wasn't. Yuhi knows her far too well.

"Don't you think it's unfair of me? "

"It is. But I've also been selfish, well, it's not like we're children anymore, so I can't whine and complain even though I want to. Back then, I encouraged you to go out with Mamoru because I knew you cared a lot about him."

If he is going to talk about back then, aren't there more important things he should be talking about? If he isn't going to say that, then she should. She should. Ever since she reunited with him, she had wanted to ask him.

But no matter how close they became, those words never left her lips, almost as though she was afraid. Afraid that Yuhi would disappear and leave her again if she said it. But even if she didn't say it, he ended up leaving her anyway, didn't he? It was her fault that she let him go but it does not change the fact that he left her.

"Why, why did you leave me?" Sumire managed to say. But she felt her entire body tremble.

She did not hear a reply even after a few minutes. Is he not going to answer? Sumire looked up only to find that Yuhi had stood up and suddenly leaned forward, his body leaning over hers.

"Are you scared? I won't do anything to you, even though there isn't anyone here right now. "

That's why it's even more unbelievable.

"I'm not afraid. Yuhi, are you trying to intimidate me?"

"Who knows? I've always been a pretty ruthless guy. "

He is wrong, at least to her Yuhi has always been so so very kind. Sumire buried her face in his arms.

"You're doing this again. I thought you would be more cautious around me."

"I'm not scared of you. Actually, I think I like your dangerous side a lot more." Sumire briefly averted her gaze. "I mean you-" Her sentence fell short when he lifted her chin and parted her mouth. The moment he placed his fingers inside her mouth, her heartbeat increased.

Oh, this fool, he is truly messing with her. Sumire felt embarrassed, but she did what he wanted. 'I haven't done this type of thing in awhile. It was something Toh taught me before, but I didn't think I'd have to use it.'

These matters are still very foreign to her. Yuhi removed his fingers from her mouth and wiped the saliva from her face. Yuhi leaned down, "So, where did you learn that?"

Uh-oh, busted! Is he angry again? But ah, she doesn't mind it. "I learned it from Toh."

Yuhi frowned and bent down to bite her already grazed lips. "If you use techniques, you learn from other men. I may have to punish you."

T-the way he said 'punish' just now sounded very seductive.

"Then, Yuhi, you can do that later."

At those words, he said and hugged her again. Oh, there is a nice scent around him.

"Sumire, do you remember I traveled quite a bit even back then? "

Oh, he's talking normally now. But he isn't changing his position at all.

"I remember."
