Eternal Melody

Chapter 264 - Without Darkness There Can Be No Light



"I don't understand it. But is Yuhi feeling conscious of me?"

She doesn't understand it. Yet she guesses his feelings in an instance. Though if the words conscious were enough to describe his feelings. He's pretty sure he would be able to handle it just fine. Does she still not know? About the dark thoughts, he has about her?

How wonderful would it be if Sumire were to be addicted to him forever? She's chosen him, and he's confident in the love she has for him. Even though she hurt so many people and it upset her a great deal. She still rushes back to his arms and holds him tightly.

However, he saw many relations collapse after marriage. The couple remains together but there's a wall between them and their spouse. It depends on the circumstance and doesn't happen a lot. But he can't help but think that it will happen. Even if it's impossible, he wants them to continue in this manner even when they get older. If he were to voice out his insecurities now, Sumire would surely help him. He should tell her everything. Yuhi recalled what Hino told him not too long ago and sighed.

It won't be that easy besides she certainly would be upset if she heard what happened. With his own hands he almost killed a person. Sumire already figured out that he was doing some clean up for her sake. But she does not know the entire truth. If she knew about the random fights he got into, how he lost control and almost killed somebody, would she still like him?

Yuhi doesn't say anything and continues kissing her pretty neck. He nibbled gently on the soft skin, he gently lowers her top revealing her shoulders.

"Yuhi, dummy. No touching."

"Hm? Just a bit. Besides you have a sweet scent on you. Perfume again?"

"Ah, I ate some pudding earlier. As well as cream boiled peas with honey and bean jam."

"The villagers gave it to you?"

Sumire laughed. "Everybody here is so nice, it surprised me."

Well he never brought anybody here before so they must have figured it out.

"Yuhi, you know I got invited to a music program."

"Are you going to sing?"

Sumire slowly nodded. "It is a bit different than singing in a studio so I am very nervous. This will be the first time I performed live since then."

Yuhi felt her hands shake and he squeezed them. "I am here." He is here for her and will ensure nothing bad happens.

"Then will you come and watch me that day Yuhi-san?"

"Sure when is it?"

Sumire gave him the date, day, time, and location. Yuhis eyes widened when he heard the location and frowned. That TV program is sponsored by the Nagawa family. So it is clear that Sano helped her get this job. Indeed it won't be easy for her to get back onto good programs since she took a break like that. But who would have thought that Sano would go that far? Yuhi thought with that guy's inferiority and jealousy complex he would be against Sumire singing again. It seems that is not the case here.

"Nagawa must like you a lot."

At that comment, a troubled look appeared on her face. "Initially I intended to decline it. I want to draw the line between us but…"

"It's a good stage to sing. As a singer you would be stupid to decline it."

"Say Yuhi if Sano was serious about me, would you panic?"

Why is she even asking something so obvious? Besides he is already panicking. Yuhi thought that as long as

.....

To think she fell asleep. Then again, there is still a few hours left before the fancy dinner. His gaze fell back onto the screen and he continued scrolling with one hand. His other hand was occupied since he was using it to caress her hair.

Whenever she falls asleep he would make sure to touch her in some way so she would feel his warmth. It is better this way so she knows she is not alone, that there is somebody here for her. This way she should not wake up with nightmares. Of course, even when he does this she still gets them, but she calms down quicker.

There is still time before the dinner but she is sleeping so peacefully. He does not want to wake her up. Even though she is no longer pregnant, she still sleeps for a long period of time. Only a few days have passed so she cant return to normal. It is better for her to sleep for a long time than her usual three hours, not that he can lecture her about that.

His thoughts broke off when he heard the sound of his phone.

Incoming call: Makoto Soujiro

Yuhi moved his hands away from the cursor and picked up his phone. "Hey."

"After kidnapping her from the hospital, now you leave me a message saying she is fine?"

Yuhi laughed. "It's fine, you handled it well right?"

Soujiro sighed. "That I did."

He didn't think to inform anybody in the hospital because he knew they would not let him. It is unheard of to be discharged so quickly after giving birth. He knew there would be an uproar but he didn't want to waste any time.

"So?"

"About what you proposed before I don't think it is a bad idea. Honestly, I know she doesn't care about those things and will accept me regardless of my status. But I want the world to accept us."

"I thought you would say so. You're already capable enough to manage a few businesses so I think you can expand it. Work with me on this next deal and people will change their minds."

"I wonder why you are doing this." Yuhi knew that Soujiro still liked Sumire. Why would he make this offer that would make his situation worse?

"Do not get me wrong, I do not intend to surrender so easily. Otherwise, I would not shamelessly cling to the title as her fiance."

"Ha."

"But even I understand her current state of mind. Right now she can only handle dealing with one person. The scar in her heart and the trauma from Tsuenos's death have not vanished. It is difficult for her to speak to other people let alone get close to anyone. You're the only one who can help her now."

"She is adjusting to school but you're right it's way too soon. I want to be with her all the time but it is hard. However, as long as she returns to the entertainment industry properly, I can be there with her all the time. I can shield her from any harm too."

There was silence on the other line before Makoto spoke up. "Your fans are crazy."

"...You already know?"

"You have that very persistent stalker and the head of your fan club may act like a saint but she is the ring leader behind many violent cases."

A troubled look appeared on his face when he heard those words. "Sumire doesn't know yet right?"

"Not that I know of. But this is why I dislike the entertainment industry. It is filled with many dirty things."

Yuhi laughed. "Well, I can't deny that."

Even though he loves singing, he understood already. Without darkness, there can be no light. Sumire often said such things before.
