Chapter 483 - Lesson
"You agree with me. Right, Jun?" Yuhi directed his question at the member who at the very least kept his emotions in check.
"I am on Kou and Tetsuo's side. According to my analysis, all work and no play leaves you boring and featureless. A person's individuality comes from their outside passions. Romance is one part of that."
"Well yeah I guess."
"Can someone who's never been in love ever touch a person's heart through his performances? I don't think so. "
Indeed he can't argue with that logic. One of the reasons why there are many people who like Sumire's songs is this.
Yuhi deeply sighed when he saw the looks they gave him., "Alright I get it. You guys want me to admit something about Sumire don't you?"
They don't agree with his statement but they don't brush it off completely. He's glad that the huge clock in the center stroke twelve-
"It's time to go."
The power of romance, huh? Rather than embarrassment, it feels strange that such a thing has taken over his life completely. Then again from the moment he met her this was already going to happen.
Before they got on to the bus that was parked in front of the universal studio grounds though. A familiar voice calls out to them.
"Hey !!"
He spots a brunette and two others come out of the gate. Sumire rushes up to him, creating a distance from herself and the other girl.
"Hey, what are your plans for the thirteenth? "
Huh? The others let out a huge 'eh' in surprise.
"Wait, are you...." Tetsuo said surprised.
"Asking Yuhi out for a date?"
Something like a 'date' should be nothing for them now since they are dating. But this will be the first one since she returned. The first date after so long is supposed to be important. It's only natural that the others are surprised by her boldness.
Or maybe it is the way she is asking.
"Well I do but what for?" Yuhi tried to remain calm and Sumire laughed.
"I was thinking we could go somewhere together. Is that no good?"
It took him a moment to realize that she was genuine.
Yuhi spokeup. "Who cares about that?" His companions looked at him completely surprised."There is no point doing the same thing as everybody else, even if it seems impossible. All you need is motivation."
"And I'm overflowing with it."
"Good luck."
"You too, Yuhi! " Sumire beamed happily.
Gosh, she really is cute isn't she? He wants to touch her. But there in front of all these people; usually that wouldn't stop him. However he just said so the previous night about having self control. To satisfy himself he reaches over and kisses the strand of her brunette locks.
"Also....Yuhi?"
"Hm"
The brunette looked over at the others before looking back at him."Could you kiss me? "
Yuhi stared at her dumbfounded for a few minutesHe should ask her why she would ask something like that, or rather this isn't the time for that. But then recalls what she asked him not too long ago, about being more motivated if he kissed her before work. Is this what she is referring to?
"I can't?" Sumire asks, noticing his silence. Her expression was filled with dejection.
"I didn't say that.... " Yuhi wrapped his arms around the brunette and turned to the others with a deep piercing glare.
"Yes yes. Were not looking. Asami."
"Ehhh but --"
"Here, a fashion magazine from abroad."
"I'll read."
From the corner of his eye,he watched as . He doesn't hesitate, as he wraps his arms around the brunette and bends down to kiss her.
"What's with that smile?"
"I was just thinking that it really did feel as though I received power. "
"Is that so?" Yuhi leaned forward again.
"Un."
His pretty Sumire, she's always smiling so brightly and making such cute demands. Yuhi nuzzles his head on her neck, inhaling her sweet scent.
"Yuhi?"
"I know you have to go to work. But, I really want to take you away right now. "
"Um, so you want to kidnap me? "
Yuhi nodded. "I suppose you can put it that way. You're okay to go to work?" He quickly realized something.
"It's only an interview. I can't do much in this condition. I also want to show the song to Yumi-senpai, and I will drop by school a bit too."
So that explains why Asami and Aika are with her. Still, he doesn't like the idea of her doing an interview.
"Are you sure? What if they harass you?" Yuhi didnt trust the media one bit. He didnt know what it was but the media had an unusual obsession towards Sumire. Why do they keep harassing her?
It is not like she is that famous, she only had one debut single, a total of three songs released to the public. But for some reason they wouldn't leave her alone. Is it because she is the sole survivor of the Ibuki family? But none of those reporters have mentioned her family background before.
Yuhi tried to look into the matter but he couldn't find anything unusual and yet there must be something wrong with this.
"It's okay! I bribed someone to come with me."
Is it Nagawa again? Before Yuhi could ask, a familiar car slid up and out came Hino.
He looked over with a deep sigh. "Hey, if you're going to flirt, why did I have to come so early?"
"It's just a coincidence that I met my dearest here. Besides Hino you owe me a favour."
'Well if she is with Hino, I don't have to worry' Yuhi looked towards his friend and Hino nodded.
"I understand how you feel but I will carefully watch over her."
"Thanks." Yuhi trailed off when he saw Sumire's pouty cheeks. "What now?"
"Why did you stop paying attention to me?"
Yuhi stared at her speechless. Since she came back she has acted more spoiled. Then again he doesn't dislike it. Yuhi picked her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I don't want to let go either Yuhi." She mumbled softly.
His gaze turned gentle at her words. "I will finish my concert quickly, and go to you okay?"
"Mm, promise?"
"I promise."
He was very reluctant to let her go, but eventually Sumire got off him. "You have to behave until we see each other again, Yuhi-san."
Behave huh? That should be his line. She always ends up doing such reckless things. He only looks away for a second and she ends up in a bad situation. Then again Hino will be with her so she shouldnt do anything too careless.
