Eternal Melody

After Sumire left to send Nagawa off, Yuhi silently remained in the same spot in a daze for a while before he rushed to the front.

Upon lighting his cigarette, he took a few puffs before his gaze landed on the scene. In a split second, his eyes darkened as he clenched his fist and punched the wall beside him, leaving a rather large crack. Instantly his fists turned red as the blood began to flow.

Nagawa had leaned down, so he was close enough for their foreheads to touch. "You will answer my calls, right?"

Sumire laughed awkwardly. "Uh, you are way too straightforward now."

"I thought you liked that."

The truth is Sumire; he has no confidence in himself. Even though he trusted in her feelings for him, Yuhi understood that the situation could change at any time, not because of Sumire but because of the other person.

If Sumire sees Nagawa trying so much, even she will not be able to turn away. It is because he kept persisting that she no longer hated him. What is to say the same thing won't happen again?

His thoughts broke off when Sumire pulled away. "Drive safely."

He watched as a dark expression appeared on Nagawas face. "Even now? You are still going to-"

"Mm. If you don't understand, you can end this here. But if you do that, you will suffer."

'Shut up..shut up. Don't say it. Don't say that. Please don't say it. I still have time. I have to last. I can't..go now. Not when the situation has become like this. I can't leave everyone behind to suffer. '

The words she said that day echoed in his head. She is so very foolish; even though she is the one suffering the most, she still prioritizes others.

From the very moment they met, he knew she was not normal, but since she arrived to Tokyo, she has overdone it.

The reason he left that day and left that letter, it was for her safety. But if she's still going to get targeted, he has no choice but to take action.

The old man had been right; after all, he can no longer live a life without that person. His most important, huh?

"I don't understand why you hide it; you clearly love her." Someone suddenly said, breaking his thoughts.

When he saw a man with long blonde and curly hair, Yuhi sighed deeply. "Ookoyama. Now I see why you've been a regular at the bar lately. What do you want from me?"

Indeed Yuhi had noticed it straight away, and yet he didn't act on it. After all, the last thing he needs now is to get involved in unnecessary drama.

"I don't want anything. I merely like to observe people's situations," Kirishima said with a smile, "Especially when it concerns that girl. As you know, I was part of Shin's group before, so I did meet her before. But we never spoke directly, and yet the aura around her fascinated me. A strong aura mixed with light and yet darkness. However, I could never get close."

"If you ask me, that's an odd fascination of yours."

Kirishima placed his hand on his chin. "Perhaps that it is. But along the way, something has changed. Especially when I found out her ties with leader." He trails off," Terashima, do you already know about it? What that girl has been hiding from you?"

At that, he uncharacteristically clicked his tongue.

Of course, he knew; there's no way he didn't.

Yuhi didn't say anything and walked off; much to his relief, the blonde hair boy had the sense not to follow him out of the alleyway. His thoughts instantly purging and spiraling out of control.

'Beside Yuhi, it is the only warm place, the only safe place….'

'Yuhi, you were someone who was always by my side then. I did respect you a lot, the way you conducted your work and investigations. But I can't be with you, Yuhi, I can't be with you.'

..

After having so many guests over, there was a lot of stuff to clear up, but there was no need since Ookoyama and Kira decided to stay over. But unfortunately, this place did not have many rooms, which led to this current situation.

Moments like this can last forever. Memories can be passed down from generation to generation and said to grandchildren when they ask the same question.

These stories imprinted into a person's brain; it can be a part of the many stories they will tell in their lifetime.

"Yuhi, please let me go already." Sumire shifted uncomfortably in his arms.

"No can do; you fainted yesterday, remember?"

Indeed the person he was speaking to right now was none other than the person he would love to be beside whenever those moments occur. In the future, if it's beside this person, then it's alright.

"But do we have to remain like this?"

"There is only one bed after all."

Since both Kira and Ookoyama had important work tomorrow, they decided to give the two the rooms. But unfortunately, that meant squeezing themselves in the smaller room.

"You sure you don't understand?" Yuhi murmurs in her ear.

"Hold on a second, time out." But he doesn't hesitate to plant kisses down her jawline as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Relax, not even I'll try to do anything to someone who collapsed, which is why I was trying to close the light a moment ago. It's late, so get some more sleep."

"You're too unreasonable."

After that conversation, it did not take long before the brunette fell asleep. Normally he would fall asleep easily after Sumire, but tonight was different. So much has happened between them recently, so it was difficult for him to fall asleep.

Geez, this girl, how can she sleep so easily? But as he clung onto her, more comfortable than ever, and all his previous worries were forgotten.

Even so, his gaze lands on the clock; all her hard work would go to waste if he doesn't do his work properly. Yuhi thought to wake the girl up, but he noticed how pale her complexion was.

He shook his head; there isn't any need for her to go. Yuhi carefully moved her away from his arms and rested her head onto the pillow.

The moment he did this, she stirs in her sleep.

"Ru."

'Love never fades, huh.'

'That song was written as an indirect love letter, not just for admiration for me but also for her dearest person.'

Yuhi sighed when he recalled the words Takahashi Yumi had told him. How frustrating, it is not like he does not understand. Mamoru will always remain important to her. But it hurts knowing that even though they are in a relationship, she still has someone else who is number one in her heart.

Is it that difficult for him to find happiness even though she is here beside him?
