Eternal Melody

Chapter 757 Different



At those words, she sees Yuhi leave the veranda, after walking down the hallway for a few minutes, he kicks open a door and goes inside. Sumire tilted her head puzzled, and in that second, Yuhi took his clothing off, and she saw bare skin in seconds-

W-why is he in such a hurry to remove his clothes? Sumire tried to look away, but it was difficult to do so.

“Do you like what you’re seeing?” Yuhi mumbled. His voice seemed lower than usual.

Seeing him this way, Sumire understood why he went onto the veranda. He must have gotten really drunk and didn’t want anybody to force themselves on him when he was defenseless. She is flattered that he is truly doing whatever he can to fulfill their promise, but maybe it’s hard on him.

However, ‘I don’t want him sleeping with other women or getting close to them, even if it is a drunk mistake.’

“I-I don’t know.” Sumire stammered.

Yuhi laughed. His smile seemed brighter than usual, making her heart beat faster. He didn’t say anything but kept his gaze on her; his eyes wandered for a few seconds on different parts of her body. He must be very drunk if he can’t even focus.

“My dear, maybe you should drink some water and then go to sleep?”

“It’s fine. Didn’t you want to do something?”

“D-do what?” Sumire said nervously.

“Well, since we can’t do anything face to face, I was thinking-“

Yuhi’s next words shocked her even more, and she barely caught her phone that had slipped from her fingers.

“I-“

“We can’t?”

W-what- what is he doing? She has never seen him like this before. But his voice is so desperate and so needy for her. Her heartbeat increased more, and her already flushed cheeks grew even hotter. Why is she so embarrassed? They had been dating for a year and were about to get married.

This is nothing to be embarrassed about. Sumire takes a deep breath before shyly nodding.

…….

Two hours later.

Sumire waits until she is sure Yuhi has fallen asleep before closing her phone, she slips out of the bathroom with a towel around her. She briefly looks at the tub and shakes her head frantically. S-she can clean that up later. She quickly gets changed, her cheeks still flushed red. By the time she reaches downstairs, a lovely aroma fills the air. Hino must have cooked since she was taking too long.

“Ah, you came back in one piece.”

Her cheeks flushed more, realizing he understood. “D-did-did you hear anything?”

“I didn’t. I will assume the rooms in your bedroom are soundproof.”

“T-then why did you ask-“

“Well, Sumire, I think you forget how well I know Yuhi. Honestly, I am a bit surprised that it has taken him this long for his self-control to break.”

Sumire tugged on Hino’s sleeve. “Is-Is Yuhi always like that towards other women?”

A troubled look appeared on Hino’s face, and he nodded. “It’s true that he doesn’t have the best reputation with women, and most of those rumors you heard before you dated were true. But that’s exactly why. He was very different when he was with you. His desires were obvious, but he kept it under control.”

“So-um-“

“He is only acting like this with you after treating you preciously. It’s probably cause your not together right now, when he comes back, he will be tamer.” Hino trailed off. “Do you need some ice? Your face looks like a tomato.”

Sumire puffed her cheeks, and Hino laughed as he ran his fingers through her hair. “I’ll dry your hair for you, so start eating.”

She wanted to tell Hino that he didn’t have to, but she knew he would do it. Sumire sat down, clapped her hands as she said a quick prayer, and started eating.

Moments later, she hears the sound of the blow dryer.

“Was Yuhi doing okay?”

Sumire sighed, recalling his state. “He was in his house throwing a party with the others, and he went out onto the veranda because he was drunk.”

“Ah, he really does want to keep his promise with you.”

“Honestly, I am still a bit worried. I’ll call Jun-kun and ask him to be on full alert- but no, if I do that, it would look like I don’t trust Yuhi.”

“Don’t you?”

“I do trust him, but I don’t trust other women. I know how easy it is to fall into a trap too. The festival was a success, and M5 is getting very popular over there, this phase usually means some parties and mingling with important people in the entertainment circle there. I know how some important people in the industry think they can do anything just because they have power.”

“I have to admit that’s why I practically stuck to him like glue before. But now he has the guys in M5. I am sure they will beat him up if he ever does anything stupid.”

“Mm, maybe I’m just being paranoid.”

Hino shakes his head. “Considering how I have to act as your shield over here. I can only imagine what he is going through.”

Sumire frowned. “Wait, are girls really actively harassing him?”

“Takeyama called me the other day, saying he had to move in because of that.”

So her bad feeling was correct. Why does her dearest have to be so handsome? She recalls what happened a few minutes ago, and her cheeks redden. She doesn’t want anybody to see him in that state; he is too defenseless when he is drunk.

“But well, it seems like there is no need to worry. As long as he has you, Yuhi won’t look or even so much think about another woman.”

“What about-” Sumire stopped herself from saying the girl’s name.

No matter how bitter she was towards her, in the end, Cassie was the one who called the ambulance since Hino panicked. If she didn’t do that, then her children would have been in danger.

Hino frowned. “You don’t have to worry about Cas. I know you have figured out that she likes Yuhi, but it’s nothing to worry about because she already made that mistake before.”

“It’s hard to believe that she is truly okay with not telling Yuhi.”

“Even if she tells Yuhi, she will get turned down. She won’t do anything that will destroy her current friendship. Actually, the reason she remains distant and only shows up occasionally is because she is afraid if she gets too close, Yuhi will remember what happened before.”

“Does that mean Yuhi will cut her off?”

Hino nodded. “Mistake or not, Yuhi will blame himself for touching someone who isn’t you. Cassie will be on the same level as those other girls. She understands that better than anybody.”

Sumire stares at Hino. “You know, I don’t think I should pry. But, sometimes, I get the feeling that she might like you more than Yuhi.”

“You’re just imagining it; it’s not called a one-sided love if she also returned my feelings.”

Yes, but if she thinks back to that day, something is weird. Maybe it would be better if she talked to Cassie in person- Sumire shakes her head. No, she can’t get any more involved than this.
