Chapter 260 - A Sense Of Hope And Purpose



"So I get to watch you sing?"

"You get an exclusive seat." Yuhi grinned. "You will come won\'t you?"

"Well, maybe I\'m busy that day."

Yuhi deeply sighed and she laughed. "By now can you not tell when I am joking?"

"I can but." Yuhi rubbed his hair with his hands. "That does not stop me from worrying."

He looks genuinely troubled by this. Maybe she ought to stop messing with him. It is rare to see him this way though.

Sumire extended her hand out and caressed his cheeks. "You worry too much."

"It seems so. But that\'s because of you, you\'re in a bad mood so you\'re tricking me a lot."

"You left me with Sano for so long, naturally I am quite upset."

Yuhi sighed. "Well I knew asking Atsuro wasn\'t an option."

"Leaving me to other men, isn\'t that weird?"

"Indeed…" Yuhi trailed off and sighed. "It won\'t happen again. It was only because you were pregnant."

Sumire chuckled when she saw his serious expression. "I am not angry."

"You could have fooled me."

Yuhi still seemed bothered so she turned to face him, and took his hands into hers.

"It\'s quite manly of you, you know. To work so hard with your bare hands. Makes a girl feel impressed."

At that comment she watched as his face turned redder and she laughed. "Did you think I wouldn\'t notice? You went on tour - no you went there to clean up the mess I caused."

When she heard which city Yuhi was in she immediately understood. This person would do everything to protect her honour and reputation, even if it means sacrificing his own. He would do anything just so she would smile.

"Alright so I did but don\'t make fun-" Sumire cuts him off by edging closer. Yuhi responded by wrapping his arms around her waist. "I thought you would be angrier at me, for breaking our promise."

"I\'m not that unreasonable, even I understand what your intentions are. Besides a promise is something that can break. It is mere words. There is no guarantee that the other person will keep it. It is easy to sway human hearts after all."

Yuhi sighed and bent down to kiss her lips. "You know when you\'re mad you end up rambling a lot."

"I\'m only in a bad mood, not angry at you." To prove her point she kissed Yuhi back but unlike his kiss, she kissed him passionately.

It did not take long for both of them to get caught up in it. She felt his hands on her shirt and shuddered. "Yuhi-san?"

"Not going to do anything." He murmured in her ear. Indeed after a few minutes he stopped like nothing had happened. But she could not forget the warmth of his hands that lingered on her shirt moments ago.

Her birthday is in two days...so does that mean she will spend it here with Yuhi-san in this place? That is not a bad idea. There does not seem to be many people on this island, they are more or less alone here. Right she should wait till then.

Sumire reluctantly pulled away from him and sighed.

"Something wrong?"

"I was just thinking that it would be nicer if you were a despicable guy like the rumors say."

Yuhi awkwardly scratched his hair. "Well it\'s actually harder than you think."

Sumire looked at him puzzled but Yuhi kept muttering how she did not understand at all.

"You can ask me anything, you know," he tells her. "Whatever will make you happy."

Her eyes widened at his sudden words. "Why did you say something weird just now?"

"It\'s weird?"

Sumire nodded. "I find it unpleasant when you behave this way." When he behaves this way she can\'t turn him away. "I feel nervous."

"The nervous part will come later so shouldn\'t you relax for now?"

This shameless man, so he intended to continue after all! Sometimes it is hard to tell what he is thinking. There are times where he acts like a gentleman and then there are times where he acts like a beast.

"Can we have a look around the island?"

"Mm, let\'s have a date."

....

They managed to return to the house before sunset, had a nice meal, composed some songs together before heading to bed. But Sumire felt restless and ended up standing up and leaving the room. At first she only intended to walk around the manor but she ended up going outside. Sumire did not go to the beach area but remained behind the fence, she took a seat on the bench and looked up at the sky.

There was a full moon in the sky tonight. A lot has happened since she moved away from Star town huh? The reason she originally moved away was because she wanted to escape, escape from a place that still had traces of Mamoru. But there was also another reason. She wanted to meet Yuhi again. Yuhi sent her all those books during the time she isolated herself in Mamorus house. Once in a while she would hear the sound of something slip inside the letter hole. At first she ignored it, or rather the sound frightened her.

She didn\'t want to hear anything, to know any news - all she wanted was to be alone. She wanted to stay in the one place where she knew he would come back to, he would return to her.

But eventually she became curious. She did not know why but she stood up and left the spot in Mamoru\'s room which she isolated herself in. Sumire remembers seeing the stack of books scattered on the ground and immediately rushed over. She knew who sent them without searching for a name or before she found the notes with his handwriting.

Those books Yuhi sent her varied and some made no sense at all. But somehow it was comforting for her. She found a sense of hope and purpose despite being in despair. The one who gave her that ray of light, that way out was Yuhi.

It belonged to the person she loved since she was younger. Ru told her he would help her forget Yuhi. But in the end even when they dated it felt like he was pushing her towards him.
