Chapter 225 - Let The World Explode
Before Hino could reply, they heard a knock on the window. Yuhi extended his hand out and pressed a button. The windows opened, revealing a man with sky blue colored hair.
"Sumire?" Shin asked.
Yuhi sighs again. So she had other plans after all. "Going back to the hospital."
She wasn't in a condition to leave, let alone sneak out. He managed to persuade the hospital and said she would be right back.
Shin nodded. "I was just about to cancel. The leader wants everybody around for rehearsal."
"I see."
"Give this to her." Shin slides over a heavy-looking envelope from the window.
It was difficult for him to grab the document without waking the girl up. Yuhi decided to let her go for a moment, but she stirred in his arms right then.
She opened her eyes and then kissed his neckline. Yuhi chuckled softly. That is the first thing she does when she wakes up? How cute.
"Hey, sleepyhead, Shin is canceling."
"Okay." Sumire hardly seemed bothered.
Yuhi gave Shin an apologetic look.
But there was something strange about him. He looked troubled.
"Sumire, come to the studio later," Shin mumbled.
"No," Sumire replied immediately despite being in that daze.
Come to the studio means see Atsuro. So Shin made that face because he saw Sumire's current condition?
Yuhi patted Sumire's hair and squeezed her hands. "I will take care of her so you can relax."
Shin nodded. He still seemed disturbed but did not say anything anymore. "Then, I will get going; please take care."
The moment Shin left, Yuhi noticed Sumire's gaze on the envelope. Yuhi sighs. "You can take a look at that later. Besides, you planned on meeting Shin?"
No wonder she insisted on him attending school. If he were around, she would not be able to sneak off. Right now, she is at her weakest, so he half expected her to cling to him.
Sumire proceeded to kiss him, but he flicked her forehead. "Brat, do you think you can trick me?"
Sumire shook her head. "Not a trick but a bribe, this is a bribe, Yuhi."
God, she makes this so difficult for him. Here he is battling with his self-control, and yet she breaks it with just a few words.
"No need to bribe." Yuhi kissed her forehead and eyelids softly. If only they could remain this way forever. But Sumire is getting closer to the truth as each day passes by. "What would you like to do today?"
"Mmm, I can't do much at the hospital. But ah, I like listening to your voice so you could read for me."
He raised his eyebrows at her suggestion. "Are you a kid?"
Sumire glared at him. "There you go again with that."
"Well even though you're mature and beautiful you have to admit that your requests are childish."
"Did you just call me beautiful?"
That is what she is focusing on? Yuhi awkwardly nodded and ran his hand through his hair and repeated. "You're beautiful."
Sumire laughs softly again. "I see." She trailed off. "I thought you were a boring guy but I suppose you have your interesting moments."
She is seriously messing with him. But Yuhi briefly got a look at her face. He cupped her cheeks and nuzzled his face against hers. "Let me kiss you again."
"The world will explode."
"Let it explode."
.............
Later on at the hospital.
Yuhi frowned when he saw Sumire's test results. He knew it would be bad, he already saw with his own eyes what she went through. Still who would have thought that the main cause of her suffering would be the child. That man's child.
Sano entered the room and sat down on his chair. "Looked enough?"
Yuhi sighed. "Something is wrong here."
"That child is harmful to her, face it." He pointed to the screen. "Can't you see that hole caused by the sonic sound waves in her stomach? It will damage her internal organs."
"It isn't that bad." At least he thought so until he heard the explanation.
Sano deeply sighed.
"You have to be joking, not that bad? Look at it."
Yuhi wanted to look away. How could he accept this situation? How could he accept that man's child would harm Sumire of all people? "She cannot get an abortion; she won't be able to do it."
That child is the only thing that makes her smile whenever anybody mentions Mamoru. It is far too risky to get rid of it.
"There are other options." Sano nodded like he understood what he thought. "A premature birth. I will figure out a good time scale for her, as long as it isn't too early. This could endanger her life if we do not handle it."
Endanger her life? Even though the one who does not deserve to live is him. The one who deserves to disappear is him and not her.
"Terashima?" Sano said impatiently.
Yuhi however froze, he could not move. What is he going to do about this situation? He understood that child makes Sumire happy, but he does not want her to die. Nagawa Sano has a method, but Yuhi does not think it will work without any physical damages. Right now, with that organization targeting Sumire, it is far too dangerous.
Think, think, Terashima Yuhi. Think about this situation through there should be a solution somehow. Why is it so difficult to think of something? Usually, he would come up with an idea.
He hears a deep throbbing sound in his ears. His vision gradually turned blurry, his palms sweaty.
The next thing he hears is Nagawa shouting, and the next, he is on the ground.
The world turned black.
...
Yuhi wakes up to familiar voices. The one that stood out to him was hers. The girl was shouting, but it still sounded like sweet music in his ear. He rubbed the back of his head as he recalled what happened. Did he pass out?
He glanced over at his girlfriend. She was angrily pointing at Sano and shaking her head. "If you did something to him, I will never forgive you."
"Nice try, you already hate me."
"Gah, that is not the point here!" Sumire exclaimed.
Yuhi coughed, and the two looked over. He smiled at the angry girl. "Hey, you."
Her gaze brightened, and she rushed over immediately. The bed he laid on was not that far away, but she still made it look dramatic. The moment she came over, Yuhi felt Sumires hand on his cheek. Before he could open his mouth, she was kissing him patiently.
He blinked but laughed against her lips. She mumbles shut up before kissing him again. After a few minutes, she pulled away and sighed.
"Needy."
"Of course, I am. Ah geez, sex makes people crazy. Or maybe it is some crazy hormone since I am pregnant."
Yuhi rolled his eyes at her explanation for the sudden attack on his lips. "Did you ever think that maybe you just like me?"
"Well." Sumire played with his hands. "It is not like but love, right?"
"Well said." Yuhi grinned. It seems like she is gradually adapting to their relationship.
Yuhi thought she would ask him more details, but she did not; instead, he noticed her gaze on his lips again. She must be addicted or something; all she does is kiss him recently. Not that it was a bad thing or anything. But Yuhi felt like his self-control would break.
A clattering sound breaks his thoughts, shattering his upcoming fantasy.
