Chapter 1059 This is me Part 36

SUMIRE

If that's what this is, then maybe others won't feel the same when they listen to Toh sing. But, even so. Now that she has this chance to talk to Toh about this, she doesn't want to lose it.

"When I was abroad, I actually received a few recruitment opportunities." Toh admitted.

"Really? That's amazing."

Toh shakes his head. "Not as amazing as you think. The only reason anyone wanted to recruit me was my face. They said I'd get popular quickly with a face like mine, and if I couldn't sing or dance that was fine, they'd just do a few edits."

Sumire sighs hearing those words. "Now, that's exactly what I am trying to change. The entertainment industry doesn't have to be filled with people like that. There are plenty of talented people, plenty of individuals who work hard. To have their hardwork be diminished just because they are a pretty face isn't right."

Toh chuckled. "Only you can be this passionate about music beautiful."

"That's the thing, it's not just me. There are plenty of others who are just as passionate."

"But, I only want to focus on you."

For a moment, it felt like her heart would stop. She knew eventually Toh wouldn't be able to hold himself back with her. But, isn't this just openly flirting now? Just as she was processing this, Toh suddenly looked up at the sky.

"But, you're right beautiful. It's not like it never crossed my mind, especially since you looked at me with those eyes filled with admiration."

Sumire's eyes brightened hearing those words. "So, you'll think about it won't you?"

"Look at you being so eager to use me." Toh smirked. "If I do enter the entertainment industry, perhaps I should challenge your dearest."

At Toh's suggestion, she beamed happily. "I'd actually like to see that. You two have different styles, but your vocal range is similar."

"So, you wouldn't mind me challenging Terashima?"

"Mm, I wouldn't. Actually you would have to get in line first."

"Oh?"

Sumire nodded and extended her hand out to reach the starry sky. It's normally harder to see stars in Tokyo due to the large buildings, however tonight was a rare one. There were more stars than usual.

"If anyone is going to challenge and defeat Yuhi. it will be me."

Toh gave her other hand a gentle squeeze. "I suppose I shall have to get in line, and catch you if you fail."

Sumire pouted. "Doesn't that make it sound like I will fail?"

Perhaps it's because they only have a limited time left to spend together. But, these moments with Toh seem more precious.

At Toh's apartment, the following morning.

If she knew how cruel fate truly was, then perhaps she would have spent more moments with him. Right now, even if she wishes to see him, he will no longer appear before her.

"Mmmm?" Sumire woke up to a gentle hand on her forehead and familiar singing. She opened her eyes to find Toh there. He seemed startled to be caught singing but she laughed. "I don't dislike being woken up that way."

"I know." Toh trailed off. "Good morning beautiful, are you hungry? You went to sleep without dinner yesterday so you must be."

Sumire blinked several times only to realize that Toh was carrying a tray.

"I thought I'd bring you breakfast in bed today." Toh said as he pulled out the mini table and placed the tray on top.

Sumire laughed seeing the rather elaborate breakfast. "You didn't have to."

"I thought you could use more rest."

"Oh but I have some jobs lined up-" Sumire started.

"Not today, you're resting." Toh shakes his head. "What is Narasaki thinking making you work this much when you just got discharged?"

"Toh--" Sumire wanted to protest and defend Hino. After all, she was the one who complained to Hino about falling behind. But, before she could say anything, she felt Toh slip his hand between her thighs.

"Toh." Sumire shuddered.

"Should we experiment a little beautiful? I promise you, it'll feel good."

Sumire managed to shake her head and mumble. "I don't want to."

Toh chuckled. "Seducing you has become very difficult."

"You shouldn't be doing it." Sumire exclaimed. "Besides, didn't you say I'm supposed to be taking it easy today?"

"There are a few positions that are simple to-do"

Sumire throws a pillow at him and Toh catches them with ease. "It's not like you don't know what I'm talking about."

"You don't have to be so shameless about it." Sumire exclaimed.

That only led to Toh chuckling.

"Eat beautiful, the food will get cold."

Sumire sighed. She really can't win against this person. She nodded and turned to the meal in front of her. How did he know that she was craving an english breakfast? Not even Ru and Yuhi-san know what she wants to eat. To gain this knowledge, how much did he observe her?

Feeling Toh's?gaze on her, Sumire breaks the silence. "Toh, uh the concert is tomorrow."

"Mmm," Toh said as he massaged her legs. "I'll definitely be there.Do you want me to be in the front row?"

"Actually, I was wondering if you could stay back stage. I know it's not the best view but--"

Toh nodded understanding. "If you get urges during the concert, I'll be there."

Sumire exhaled deeply. "I'm sorry, it feels like I'm treating you like a blood bank."

Toh chuckled. "That doesn't sound bad to me."

"Be serious." Sumire frowned. "You can't really be okay with this."

"You'll be surprised. I am truly okay with this, because I don't mind you touching me beautiful."

Uh right, of course that's the reason why. He really is being straight forward about it, sometimes she doesn't know how to react. Thankfully after he said that, Toh left the room for a few minutes which gave her time for her thoughts to wander.

He truly is good to her. Even if Ru said Yuhi-san and Toh won't rush her, in the end she will eventually have to choose. Moreover there is now that issue with Lucifer, even now she can feel the bond humming in her chest.

The bond, now that she has her memories of her other lives. She doesn't understand why the soul bond with Lucifer has returned. Wasn't it fading? Didn't the bond change to Yuhi-san? But, there is no doubt there is a bond with Lucifer right now.
