Eternal Melody

Chapter 1107 Tokyo Illusion Part 45

YUHI

Yuhi didn't know when he fell asleep but he must have at one point, since the sound of his phone ringing woke him up.

He picked it up from his nightstand and was surprised to see that Sumire was calling. Normally she texted him when she was away from home. She never really called because she suspected that he might be sleeping when she did.

Truly it had been a frustrating day.

Yuhi answered his phone and frowned, at the sight of his brunette hair girlfriend. Normally the sight of her would make him happy, but not when she is like this. Sumire's face was normal, but her eyes was glazed. Her cheeks also had a dull flush on them.

"You're drunk." Yuhi commented.

Sumire blinked. "I'm not drunk,"

But Yuhi was not a man fooled. She was damned well on the alcoholic edge. Yuhi sighs, he lifted a hand and scratched the back of his head. "What's the matter?"

"What do you mean by that?" Sumire said,

Yuhi wanted to snap. However, he managed to be patient. 'I thought falling asleep after seeing her lyrics would lead to happier dreams, but instead I remembered something I forgot. Meeting Sumire's daughter Slyvia, seeing her corpse. I helped Sumire go into the wheel of reincarnation for her sixth life. How did I forget that?'

"Was there a specific reason for you calling?"

Sumire's pretty mouth trembled ever so slightly. Her bright eyes dimmed slightly. Others would not realize that she was upset, but he could.

"I missed you." Sumire mumbled. "I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I missed you too much."

She really had it in her to make him feel like a total jerk. He wondered if she was aware of this power over him that she had.

Thinking back on it, she did know. How many times had she used puppy eyes on him to get what she wanted?

"Did Yuhi miss me?" Sumire asked.

That mouth which he was kissing hard just a few days ago. Even though a few days had passed, Yuhi could see that her lips had yet to recover.

"Yes, I missed you."

Immediately, her expression brightened and he sighs. She really is simple to please.

"Yuhi, we had a party today. Since tomorrow is the last day of shooting." Sumire informed him.

"Is that so?" Yuhi murmured.

Just what?was the need for a party anyway? Wasn't that like when all the members of the crew get together when bid farewell to each other. It was like a gathering to express pity, wasn't it? Or obligation. Of course he knew it was her last day of shooting tomorrow. He has been counting down the days until he could hold her again.

Would she be too tired to do it when she comes back? Would she refuse? No, she wouldn't, she would agree and say something along the lines of she liked being touched by him. However, he doesn't want to do it with her when she is tired. Especially since he doesn't know if he can control himself.

"We had cake and lots of sweets." Sumire told him.

"And alcohol," Yuhi deliberately put in. He can't believe that Makoto let her drink. Coincidentally Makoto Soujiro had business in that town too, so he went with Sumire.

'I doubt it was an actual coincidence though. Soujiro definitely went along because it's too dangerous to leave Sumire by herself.'

"They allowed me to have one glass of wine because you left strict instructions so I don't drink."

A single glass lead to this situation?

Sumire turned her head and he heard some rummaging around. "I got lots of gifts," she continued.

Yuhi couldn't help but frown at that, he doesn't like the idea of other men giving her gifts and he was aware that the majority of the filming crew was made up of men.

"Ah, Yuhi is jealous." Sumire pointed out.

"Brat." Yuhi?murmurs.

"Aha." Sumire trailed off. "Yuhi by any chance are you in my room?"

Even though they slept on the same bed every night, he made sure that she had her own quarters.

He tried to shift his phone so she could only see the wall, but it was too late. "Yuhi isn't honest."

Yuhi sighs deeply. "It's your fault for leaving me alone for too long."

"Yuhi just say you miss me a lot."

"Hm? Did I not just say it?" Yuhi trailed off. "Unless, you want me to seduce you?"

That can definitely be arranged, they have already exchanged naked photos before on text and they had very intimate video calls when he was in the US.

Sumire's cheeks coloured. "That's not what I meant. By any chance did you see the song?"

Yuhi nodded. "Yeah, it's really good so far."

"I'm glad. " Sumire trails off. "I'll send you what I wrote today."

In a few seconds he received the second half and scanned it over.

"The melody will have to go slower near the start. And then the song should be able to let listeners feel as if they could relate to it."

"Understood." Sumire nodded eagerly as she took out a notepad.

Yuhi begins to strum some notes on his guitar. "Something like this ought to work."

Sumire shifts her phone upwards and he sees the keyboard in her lap. As she begins to play on her keyboard. A sweet melody filling his ears, Yuhi shuts his eyes and finds his fingers composing a tune right after hers. It's like they are able to harmonise with each other, no matter where they are. Even now each melody being produced from each side is carefully coming together.

"Yuhi, for this single. I want to do something different."

"Different?" Yuhi wondered.

This song is already different from Sumire's usual style.

"The audience relating to the song aside. I want it to relate to everyone else. The members, staff and those who helped us get this far. To bring everyone together. "

In other words she wants to express her gratitude. She wants to not only want people to relate with the song but to combine all the efforts, pain, sadness and happiness together.
