Eternal Melody

Chapter 610 When I am lonely

'I ought to contact Soujiro and see if there are any new updates.' Her thoughts broke off when she realized that Yuhi was behind her. He bent down and placed kisses on her neck.

"You don't want to do something fun?"

"Mm, maybe we can." Sumire placed the brush down and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm not upset anymore, Yuhi."

"Really?"

"Maybe a little. But it's okay; we don't have to do anything."

She indeed latches onto him whenever she is upset. Yuhi-san never comments whenever she does this. According to him, he likes touching her, so he does not mind whenever she gets in this mood.

"Are you sure?" Yuhi didn't seem convinced. He placed her down on top of a set of drawers and leaned forward.

Oh, this sensation. He is sucking her blood. Maybe he feels that bad? Even though Yuhi tells her to accept this hanyou side, she notices that he refrains from drinking her blood. He must be feeling very unwell; he only does this when he is very sick and needs strength.

He is only biting her, and yet it makes her feel strange. "Nn." A small but quiet groan.

"Sumire, your so pretty," Yuhi mumbled as he briefly parted their lips.

This idiot is doing weird things again. But she doesn't mind it; ,it helps take her mind off troublesome things whenever they do this stuff.

"Yuhi-san, do you like me?"

"I love you."

He doesn't hesitate at all to say those words. It's strange to be loved this much; it's strange having him return her feelings like this. Sumire extended her hands out towards his shirt. But before she could do anything, Yuhi's phone rang.

Yuhi drew back and, for a moment, seemed startled. "Hold on a sec Sumire."

"Mmm."

"I said I won't pick you up from the airport. Hah, you know why right?"

Ah, is that the childhood friend? Sumire shook her head. She needs to stop being so paranoid. Moreover, Yuhi-san just now showed how much he loved her. Sumire got up from the cabinet, and her gaze fell on the mirror. She stared at the markings he made.

Normally he bites her in places that are easier to hide, but this will be difficult. 'I might have to use a bandage.' However, if people see her covered in bandages, they will assume she was in a fight or something.

There is no easy way to please people. If she walks out with her neck exposed like this, people will say she is showing off.

"Normally, I would ignore rumors, but it is a bit hard to do right now. Yeah, my wife. This is making her uneasy, and I don't like seeing her sad. Mm, the company will make arrangements for you."

'My wife.' He said it so naturally.

Sumire waited until he finished talking on the phone. For a moment, there was silence when Yuhi wrapped his scarf around her neck. "You should go home and get some sleep."

"What about you Yuhi-san?"

"I have some work to attend to." He lightly kissed her lips. "I'll make an excuse up for you, so get some rest, okay?"

"Mmm, alright."

Yuhi brushed his forehead against hers. "I want to go home with you, but I still have some jobs that I can't cancel."

Her gaze softened when she sensed his frustration and concern. "It's okay; make sure to come home. That's all I want."

"By saying that, you're making it sound like I'm a bad husband who stays away all night."

Sumire winked. "There is a limit to your cheating; you must be home before midnight."

"Crazy girl."

After Yuhi-san walked her out of the school, she found herself heading to town instead of going back home. It should be okay to do some shopping. She also has a hat and sunglasses on, so people shouldn't be able to recognize her. With Yuhi-san's scarf, it is easy to hide her face.

Sumire sighed deeply. Why is it so difficult just to go shopping? Back in star town, she never hid her face like this. 'I haven't done anything wrong; why do I have to be in disguise?' is the attitude she took. The president laughed it off and said he liked her carefree behavior.

But it is too dangerous to act like that in Tokyo. Moreover, Hino already gave her an earful.

'I just need to go shopping for some clothes.' Unfortunately, she didn't bring many things with her from star town. It was okay before, but now that she is settling into her career again, image is important. Are there any good bouquets here?

A classical instrument shop. Now that she thought about it, she hasn't played the violin properly in a while. She did bring her violin with her to Tokyo, but she hasn't entered any concurs since last year.

It should be okay for a bit, right?

Sumire took a deep breath and opened the door; the moment she did, she heard the sound of a gorgeous piano playing.

For a moment, she simply stood there and listened, but after she got a closer look at who was playing. "Hino?"

"Who sai-" Hino paused. His face immediately colored, and she burst out laughing. "Hey, this isn't funny."

"It's just when I first entered the store I thought what gorgeous playing. I didn't expect the owner of that beautiful playing to be you."

"You say that, but I have been coming here since I was a kid. Or rather, I brought you here last time. I am surprised you remembered the location since it was long ago."

Now that she thought about it, something like that did happen before. It was during that time she found Hino beaten up in an alleyway.

"It was just a coincidence." Sumire trailed off. "Is the owner out?"

"Yeah, and even his daughter, so they told me to watch over the shop. Geez, what are they making a busy president do."

Sumire giggled. "Can I look around?"

"Yeah." Hino trailed off. "That reminds me, you play something other than the piano, right? What was it again-"

"The violin." Sumire looked through the shelves of musical grammar books. "If you're going to investigate somebody, you should do so properly."

"I can't argue against that. Besides, you know I focused more on whether you were truly an evil woman."

Sumire laughed when she saw his apologetic look. "It's okay; you're not to blame; it was San's fault."

"Speaking of Sano, it seems he is frequently going to D entertainment. Do you know already?"

"I know; he told me he would get me more information last time I stayed over."

"Last time you stayed over-," Hino sighed. "Now that you are my artist, I have to deal with all of that stuff."

"Did anyone notice last time?"

"No, it was oddly quiet. Sano might have done something already."

"Then isn't it okay?" Besides, Sumire recalled those pair of rings. She wanted to use the chance to take that off him. She does not want him to have anything related to her in his home anymore.
