Chapter 239 - The Voice He Acknowledges

It was all good before she quickly unveiled the mask Sano wore. Once she undercovered his true colours Sumire understood she could no longer see him the same way as before.
Sumire did not know what to say to Sano admitting all of this.
It is too late, she refrained from saying those words but she kept thinking this. There is no use continuing this conversation. No matter what he says now it will not make a difference. Sano must have realized since he stopped speaking. He kept playing with her hair and in the next second he is kissing her again.
She immediately noticed how gentle this kiss was and was slightly taken back.
This time however the kiss did not last more than a few seconds since the doors opened. Only one person would enter the room without knocking. Sure enough when she glanced over she spotted Hino at the door.
"What is--"
"You act like you have never seen two people kiss."
At that comment Hino frowned. He walked over and pulled Sano away from her. "I came here to apologize to her but here I find you two liplocking…"
Apologise? Oh right they haven't made up from the last time she was hospitalized.
Her gaze fell on the bag in his hands. "Is that for me?"
Hino coughed awkwardly. "I just got you some random stuff."
Random huh? Sumire carefully examined the contents in the bag before she burst into laughter. Hino kept awkwardly looking away. The contents of the bag were copies of CDS she found in his place, posters and rare music books. Random he says.
It seems she can't stay mad at him. Then again it's not like she was particularly mad in the first place. It irked her but after thinking it through she understood his behaviour. This person is so clumsy at expressing himself.
"I guess I can forgive you."
Hinos gaze softened as he extended his hand out and ruffled her hair. "Yeah."
Sano coughed causing her to laugh awkwardly. "Is it okay for me to listen to music here?" She asked.
"Your room is the only one in this floor so go ahead."
"By the way I didnt come alone." Hino said.
Didn't com-- her eyes widened and she glanced over at the door. Sure enough she spotted black hair by the door. She felt her heart skip a beat when she saw his clothes. Did he just come back from a photo shoot? Or maybe a live? He looks even more handsome than usual.
.........
The moment they found a quiet place. Yuhi positioned her on the bench. He wiped her lips with a cloth or rather scrubbed it very hard causing her to laugh. "Uh, did you notice?"
"Don't be so defenceless. I have already claimed these lips."
"You have? But there is no mark." She said innocently.
Yuhi however did not respond to her provocation, he seemed to be deep in thought. She took his hand and squeezed it. "Don't blame yourself okay?"
"I can't leave you with him…"
"Atsuro is worse Yuhi trust me." Sumire understood what he was about to say. Atsuro will definitely take advantage of her. Besides, Yuhi already said it. That guy seems to think they are faking their relationship.
"He keeps kissing you."
"Only when he gets angry." At least once everyday, but Sumire kept that information to herself. She does not want him to worry anymore than he already is.
Yuhi grumbled but nodded. He leaned forward and kissed her lips passionately. "Mmm, Yuhi."
"I missed you."
"It's only a few days."
"A few dats is torture, besides that is almost a week." He hugged her tightly. "Your work situation is on hold now but you have some major jobs lined up."
"Your point?"
"I think we can land some work together."
Her eyes brightened at the thought but she quickly hid her excitement. "I don't think it will be that easy."
Yuhi gave her a reassuring smile. "You will be surprised. How about a drama? Do you mind acting?"
"I have only been a stunt double before."
"Ah, but you will be fine. Take a look at this." He pulled out a script from his bag.
Sumire immediately recognized the title. "Oh this movie.."
"You know of it?"
"Ru liked it a lot." A hint of sadness flashed through her mind. Quite some time has passed since she last thought about Tsueno Mamoru. No, she purposely tried to stop thinking about him. It is difficult to accept Yuhi's love and kindness so she deliberately suppressed her memories.
Still how could she possibly forget about the things he liked?
"Then that's even more of a reason." Yuhi squeezed her hands.
"But is it okay? This movie is popular."
It might not be a large scale production but it is enough to attract people's attention.
"I already settled the details for you. You still have to audition and prove your skills but the role is basically yours."
Sumire blinked when she heard those words. This man had not even asked her and yet he made such arrangements. Then again, her lips curve to a smile. "Are you the male lead?"
A chance to not only act in the same movie as Yuhi but as the female lead?
"Mm."
"Ah, there are kiss scenes." Quite long ones too. She peered over at him and saw a mischievous grin on his face.
Sumire thought he was opposed to her comeback but it seems Yuhi has secretly been making such plans. While his status in the entertainment industry is so high that she can't appear in the same programs, a drama like this should be fine.
"But you know I am a bit reluctant." Yuhi mumbled.
"Reluctant?"
She was still browsing through the script. While she watched the original movie already it was during the time Ru's condition was getting worse. So she spent most of the time making sure that he was okay rather than pay attention to the film. She does remember bits and pieces.
"I don't want anybody else to see your face whenever we kiss or hear those beautiful sounds."
It took her a moment to realize what he was talking about.
Sumire hits him and Yuhi laughs. "Embarrassed?"
"Teasing me is so unsightly."
"If I don't tease you then you will overthink things." Yuhi squeezed her hands. "I really want to work with you. But as you know it is hard to get on music programs together."
Sumire understood that better than anybody. No matter how good she is at singing, her current status in the entertainment industry is still too low. Ah she has to hurry up so she can properly stand by Yuhi's side. She ran her fingers through his hair.
"Be patient, I will be there soon."
Yuhi chuckled. "Confident are we?"
Sumire nodded. "After all this is the voice you acknowledged."
A voice that Terashima Yuhi himself acknowledges.. If the media knew about this then they certainly would take advantage of it. She might even get new opportunities. But she would not resort to such petty means. She has to do this herself otherwise she won't be able to say that she has achieved her dream.
