Chapter 552 - You Feel The Same Way I Do

Oh this is bad, she is starting to think strange thoughts again.
'Even if he is handsome Ibuki Sumirre you cannot jump on him and eat him.'
"What's wrong?"
"No=nothing." Sumire averted her gaze. "An-anyhow Yuhi-san, which girl did you take up here?"
"Hm?"
"Don't act so casual. I saw how naturally you booked us a room!"
It means he has been here before. Before it didn't bother her, all those rumors and all those other women. But now? Now the situation has changed. She can't control her growing feelings for Yuhi.. She wants everything about him to be hers.
That last part sounds too possessive and strange so she can;t talk to him about this. Sumire recalled the words she told Hino. Hino told her that Yuhi would be happy if he heard those words.
'I think so too, he will be foolishly happy about it. But I do not want him to get too attached to me.' It seems stupid having such thoughts now but she genuinely doesn't want him to get too attached.
Ru was so foolishly honest with his feelings towards her. When they first held hands and the first time he touched her.
Yuhi laughed. "Are you getting jealous again?"
"Are you trying to dodge the question?"
"I have gone here before that is true but on business. As for how casually I booked a room and made romantic arrangements. I planned all that before for one special girl. It's the one I brought with me today."
Sumire immediately understood. "Wait was today-"
Yuhi nodded. "Yeah but it's alright. We can do this again properly another time."
'Gah why did my insecurities have to show up tonight of all nights?'
"I don't mind. I told you previously I already have a hard time controlling myself around you, so even if you didn't break down. I would have held you since it's been awhile."
This person is so shameless. How can he say that stuff with a straight face? Sumire took a deep breathe and placed her hand on the railing, a strong gust of wind blew across her face. But there was something pleasant about the night breeze.
"Black out, all I can feel is a silent heartbeat.
Once the curtain rises it's ride or die.
In my restricted field of view, I smell something sweet.
This place is a false paradise
Still a chrysalis, but nevertheless
Can I still survive here in the dark?
You feel the same way I do.
Once you bathe in the too bright light.
Set me free this is my stage." Sumire sang.
"Another new song?"
"It seems I am on a roll recently."
"I can imagine, is this all that pent up stress for not singing on stage for so long?"ReadNovelFull.com
"It maybe." Sumire trailed off. "I truly didn't think it was possible for me to sing on stage again. I didn't think I could face the crowd again. Music is my life, but it was music that caused that accident. Those people knew Yuhi, they knew how precious music is too me. That was why they used that card my previous enemies have never tried to use before."
No matter how many enemies she made over the past few years, it was the first time somebody dared to use music against her.
"They played their cards well, they knew what it would to me. They didn't try to sabotage my concert, instead they removed somebody precious to me. If that accident happened any other day, then even after. I would have still been able to sing."
She would have used those painful feelings and sang her heart out.
But the enemy didn't give her that leeway. "They stole my voice. So, in return I will take away a single thing."
She thought long and hard about what to do. Shin, Eli and Hino noticed that she didn't want revenge. Indeed what she wanted wasn't revenge. Sumire extended her hand out towards the sky.
There were many stars out, they covered the entire sky.
"Their most precious thing. I will take it from them."
Unfortunately she still doesn't have enough information on the enemy leader. 'I will have to continue to use Sano a bit longer then.'
"I see." Yuhi trailed off and draped his coat around her shoulders. It was the same as earlier and yet there was something different about him.
"Yuhi?"
"This is something I haven't told you yet. But you've seen the scars, no that large scar on my chest right?"
"Yes."
How could she miss such a large scar? Up till now however she hasn't asked him about it. There is no need to ask. Yuhi-san is the type of person who cannot hide things from those precious to him. Since she is so precious to him, Sumire understood that he would eventually talk to her about it.
"I got that, no I did that to myself when I started to hate music."
Eh? Yuhi hate-- Sumire paused in midthought. This is the first time she thought she would hear those words escape his lips. But if she thought about it back when they met during that snowy concert, he told her a lot of things.
"Was it too much?"
"It was. People's expectations, and how they controlled everything I did. The last straw was when they gave my songs to somebody else."
Ah now that he mentions it, there was a case like that. What was the other artist name?
"Kurosawa Touma. He was a upcoming rising newbie in the company, his skills weren't bad. But the only thing was, his manager overdid his promotions. He promoted him as a newbie with not only singing and dancing skills but composing skills. It was clear that this manager was trying to push Touma into competing with me. That was fine, I don't mind if the company has more composers."
"But he couldn't compose?"
Yuhi nodded. "No matter what he did, he couldn't compose. Right at that time I was in a great state. It was shortly after I met you, your meeting had a good influence on me. I wrote the most songs I did in that year. That guys manager thought quote that I won't miss a few songs since I wrote so many. He thought I wouldn't notice. Kurosawa Touma's debut single and his first album, those were all my songs. But by the time Hino realized it, it was too late."
Sumire saw Yuhi clench his fist and she placed her hand on top of his.
He gave her a weak smile. "At first I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. But when the media started to ask who the lucky girl in question was, I got ticked off. I wrote your initials on those drafts. Touma was a scapegoat and said everything his manager said to him. When he said those initials, I-"
"You punched him."
"You truly are my fan huh?"
"Of course." Sumire paused. "Back then I wanted to fly to your side. But I had to restrain. I knew right away those songs were for me and that you realized who I was too."
"I see. That was my only scandal in my whole career. The media tried to blow it up but with my fan base then it was hard for them to fight. I was surprised how many people still chose to believe in me."
