Eternal Melody

After tying her hair up and getting all her books out, she spread them on the table in her room. Although Yuhi and her always end up sleeping together, Yuhi made sure she had her own room just in case she wanted privacy. Still, her gaze flickered towards Yuhi, who was sleeping on the couch. Isn't he going to help her? Not that she actually needs help.

For the next few minutes, she focuses on her homework. Their general studies questions are harder for an art school than most high schools. But this is still easy for her.

She was focusing on her own when she heard shuffling. Yuhi had sat down and positioned her onto his lap as he inhaled her scent.

Sumire sighed deeply. 'Just focus.' Even if she has returned to the entertainment industry, she is still a student at the end of the day.

Unfortunately, it was hard to focus since Yuhi inhaled her scent and kissed and sucking her skin. "Yuhi, let me do my work."

He didn't listen, so she jabbed him with her arm. "If you keep doing this, I will get angry again."

Those words seemed to do the trick since Yuhi lets go of her.

"Hah, we are in a bedroom. How can you work?"

Maybe she ought to have stayed in the living room after all. But she didn't want to disturb Huan with the noise. Her gaze fell on Yuhi, who had a troubled look on his face. Is he that bothered by it? Sumire reluctantly sat back down on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Yuhi, let me do some work. I already said we can continue at night."

"I know, sorry, you're just too pretty."

Her gaze softened. "If my appearance is good, it's because I put in the effort to dress up for you."

"Even when we are at home?"

"Especially when we are at home."

After all, who knows when he will attack her? Her thoughts broke off when he picked up the piece of paper in her hands.

"For this question, I ended up with a different answer."

"Oh?"

"But I think yours is correct, not mine. Hold on." Yuhi stood up and briefly left the room.

Their rooms are right next to each other; actually, her gaze fell on the connecting door that Yuhi had just exited. There is even a connecting door. This is why they decided to make this their main residence. Yuhi has many homes in Tokyo. But they decided on this building just because it's practically a mansion.

Yuhi quickly returned with his own notebooks and sat beside her.

"You see here."

"Ah." Sumire stared at Yuhi's answers. "Your right; mine is correct. You're supposed to use this formula."

"I see; what a clever way of working it out."

Sumire blushed when she saw his bright smile. Uh-oh, maybe studying together with Yuhi-san is a bad idea. Look at that smile; smiling like that must be a crime. Does he have any idea what he is doing to her heart?

Yuhi suddenly parted a strand of hair from her face. "You look tired. Are you sure you don't want to sleep?"

"I-I'm fine."

He suddenly cupped her cheeks and brushed their foreheads together. "I won't apologize for earlier. But don't act so nervous. I want you to look at me properly."

"Your too handsome, Yuhi; it's bad for my heart."

Yuhi coughed awkwardly. "Even if you say that I was born this way."

Sumire quickly kissed him and then returned to her homework. But she occasionally stole glances.

Yuhi sighed deeply. "Hey, why do you keep staring?"

"Why can't I stare? Isn't it my privilege?"

"It is, but it's distracting," Yuhi looks away. "You, do you always have to wear nightgowns in that style?"

Sumire tilted her head puzzled. She thought he was trying to change the topic for a moment, but her gaze fell on her nightgown. Now that she thought about it, this is one of the ones Toh gave her. So it is more on the mature-looking side.

"Do you not like it?" Sumire questioned.

Although she is the type of person who would wear whatever she wants regardless of what others say. If Yuhi doesn't like it, perhaps she should stop wearing it.

The last time she returned to star town, she secretly went back to her house and grabbed some more clothes. To think she ended up mainly taking the clothes Toh designed for her.

Toh's clothing naturally looked nice on her, so half her wardrobe was filled with his clothes before she knew it. So she supposes it is not surprising that she grabbed Toh's clothes for her.

Wearing clothes another guy made for her, Yuhi definitely won't like it. Has he noticed?

"It's not that I don't like it; you look good. But," Yuhi cupped her cheeks. "- if you look this good, I will have a hard time restraining myself."

"Do you have to? You even did that type of thing earlier."

Yuhi awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck as he lets go of her face. "I know you said you liked it. But, I said some cruel things back there, and your lips are grazed-"

He isn't apologizing for doing it with her. But apologizing for unleashing his passions. It's true he was acting harshly, but he was very careful with her even then. Sumire returned to doing her homework.

"It's alright; if it is you, it is okay." Sumire trailed off. "You see, Yuhi, I have always had this thought. If it is you, I do not mind whatever you do with me." She laughed. "Even if you betray or hurt me, I will not mind."

She is cautious and does not trust people easily. She is afraid of getting hurt and being betrayed again. But if Yuhi does those things, she will forgive him. No, it is not simply forgiveness; she wouldn't blame him for it.

"Yuhi-san, is it not the same for you? Am I not special?"

At those words, Yuhi sighed and suddenly pulled out his guitar from the corner of the room. He tossed some music scores at her, and her eyes brightened.

"Is this the song you're going to sing at the festival? The one you wrote for me ?"

"It's still a work in progress, I haven't done the lyrics yet, and the tune is half composed."

Is that the reason he said he would refuse the solo performance? How strange, Yuhi is different from her. He does not just come up with songs out of nowhere. But normally, he does not struggle so much.

"If your singing for me, it should be easy, right? What is the problem?"

Hmm, is he having a hard time because his feelings have chan- no. That is a silly thought. Yuhi loves her so much, and he even has weird ahem desires towards her.

The only reason Yuhi would have a hard time writing a song for her is because his feelings have gotten stronger.
