Eternal Melody

Chapter 163 - Different Meaning



The reason why he agreed to come here to the gallery was because he wanted to look at the painting again. He was here when the painting first came out and stared at it like he did now. But even now he was having a hard time understanding. Shin looked at the painting carefully.

Despite teaching in an art school for so long, he still could not understand the messages students portray in their work. Yet there was one painting that stood out to him, the piece Sumire did at the recent festival. There was something different about it than the others.

Shin thought he would finally be able to understand and that was the reason why he came here. But it seems like that is not the case here.

He wanted to understand what other people saw in it, because he hadn't quite figured out what he saw in It himself. It isn't long before he notices his aunt; who approaches him. "This really captivates you, doesn't it?" she asked.

Captivates? Shin did not understand what she meant by that.

"I don't understand it," Shichiro said.

His aunt seemed puzzled at his words and Shin further explains.

"I don't understand what is so special about this painting. I am only interested in this because of you and her."

"Do you need an explanation?"

Shin puzzles over this for a moment. "I don't know. But I do know I wont be able to understand her like this."

"I see, but you won't get an answer." His aunt said.

"It's normal that you won't see it the same way as us."

"Why?"

"Your not them, you think and act differently. You are not that person so you will never see it like they do. While artists portray different emotions and feelings behind their works. There will always be a handful who interpret it differently. What it means to me, that girl and you will be different."

"But isn't there supposed to be more? More information?" Shin did not like this response of hers.

His aunt sighed. "You need to stop looking at things from a logical point of view."

From: Sumire

Sorry Shin! But I saw Yuhi.

I will make it up to you.

Shin did not bother replying and closed his phone. The words the girl said about numbers and words replayed in his head. It seems like he still lacks something fundamental as a human. The stuff his aunt said, even though she is no art expert, it must be something common.

Yuhi did not think that Sumire would find him. He did not intend to tail her, it was an accident. He just happened to have work in this area. So he snuck out to have fun with her but-- Is his girlfriend really okay? Maybe it's just his imagination but there is this pink sparkly aura around her.

Hino mentioned it before but this is the first time he saw it. Even though she was so embarrassed just now. No rather, in the end he was the one being embarrassed.

"Yuhi look look, this fabric is really pretty." Sumire pointed to the fabric they were selling at one of the stands.

Not as pretty as you. But even if he has gotten softer, that's still far too cheesy for him to say.

"Hey remember we're looking for purple and not royal blue."

"I know I know. You're making my dress for the next stage so it has to be purple. But looking around for other materials isn't bad either. "

Well she makes a point there. It's not like he's going to have time to go material shopping later on. Her dress is a his priority though, the rest of the winter line can wait.

"So Yuhi, today your not going to go sneaking of somewhere. "

Oh dear, she knows after all doesn't she? What happened earlier today. He thought since she was all cheerful when she came out to

Although she was still showing enthusiasm towards fabric shopping. It was clear as day that she was bothered.

"Sumire. Hey your mad huh."

"I'm not mad."

"You really are."

"I'm not. It's just, Yuhi you're too careless. Even though you promised to be with me forever." She trails off. "Gah forget it, you'll be leaving soon anyway so it's not like me saying this now will have an impact."

Promise to be with her forever huh? Indeed he's said it to her so many tines already; one would think it would have lost it's effect and meaning by now. But from the looks of it, she is treasuring them even now.

Sumire clearly sulky still about him leaving.

'If you want to be selfish Sumire you can.'

Yuhi wraps his scarf around the brunette. "I won't be reckless anymore. So don't sulk okay? Aren't we on a date?"

"Dummy, I'm always worried about you when we're apart."

"I know that."

He knows all too well, because whenever they see each other she always calls his name cheerfully.

She holds onto him so very tightly. It's okay Sumire, he won't die. He won't throw away his life anymore.

"I feel like your playing me at times Yuhi."

"Hm?"

As she told him the reason why, he is rendered speechless again.

What the hell? Really, why is it that she can say such things like that so easily? Isn't it enough that wherever she goes the place always ends up smelling like sunshine.

"Yuhi?"

What is she doing tilting her head in such a innocent and pure manner like that? What's with this girl, why is it that even now she makes him act so strange. Damm, he wasn't expecting this at all when he asked her out.

"Don't look at me now." Yuhi felt the heat creep up on his cheeks. This is humiliating, why is he behaving like a child for?

Don't look, since he is making an uncool face.

"Is Yuhi embarrassed?"

"Yeah.. So don't--" his sentence falls short when she tilted his head to face her.

"Your so red."

"Stupid isn't it normal? After hearing something like that. " Rather he's starting to sympathise with Ichinose, it's no wonder you find it difficult to talk to her. She says the boldest things after all.

"So this is Yuhi when he's embarrassed.."

Hey hey at least listen to what he is saying.

"Can I, take a picture?"
