Eternal Melody

Chapter 500 - Please Don’t Hate Me

Sumire knew how crazy those thoughts of hers were, and for a while, after that, she avoided him like the plague. But Yuhi confronted her unusual behavior, and Sumire figured it would be strange to avoid him. All she has to do is control this ragging lustful beast inside her, no problem, right? Except it was a huge problem for her.

Whenever Yuhi remotely got close to her, it took all her willpower not to do anything weird and to contain her crazy thoughts.

"This is quite the confession."

Sumire rolled her eyes. "Even in this situation, you find a way to flirt."

"Naturally."

"Yuhi, I learned more about hanyou's when I was in the facility. Drinking blood is the same as taking a person's life force, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

"If that's the case, then I don't want to do that. I don't want to shorten your lifespan and harm you."

"You know that's the same with me. But you don't have to worry. With the advancements soon, it will no longer mean taking someone's life force."

"Do you truly believe that will happen in our generation?"

"I do."

'What's with that confidence.' But she supposes she is the same too. Her thoughts broke off when she felt Yuhi run his hands through her hair.

"At the very least, there are changes now, unlike before. So, I want you to feel more comfortable."

"It doesn't frighten you, Yuhi? What if I drink you dry?"

Yuhi chuckles. "Well, that would also be an interesting way to die."

"Don't be stupid; you would be breaking your marriage vows if you do that."

"Oh? Are we married?"

"We will be!"

"Mmmm, I can't wait too. But just cope with this for now. I have wanted to make you my wife for so long; waiting a few more months is nothing unlike the years I had to endure."

Endure huh? She wonders if it is the same for him. How much did he have to endure and keep his urges for her in tac? He behaves so calmly whenever they do this, but it most likely isn't easy for him either.

Even though she is worrying so much here, he is acting so nonchalantly! This is unfair.

"Anyhow, if you want to drink, go ahead---" She didn't wait until he finished his sentence and pushed him down.

Sumire hovered over him; a dangerous look flashed through her eyes. For a boy, Yuhi-san has such fair skin, and he always smells good.

"Sumire?"

"I truly can't control myself around you anymore, Yuhi-san."

"Is that so?"

She brushed her lips against his neck. "Please don't hate me."

"I won't."

….

'I'm happy your so honest with me and that you desire me so much.' Yuhi said those words roughly four hours ago. When she woke up, he wasn't beside her anymore, but a note said he would return before dinner. Sumire didn't want to move and continued lying down. However, she heard the sound of somebody knocking on the door aggressively.

That way of knocking it could only be one person. So when she got up and opened the door to find grey hair, she wasn't too surprised.

It was Aika.

Her friend looked frustrated at a glance and held up a newspaper. There in the large photo was Sano giving her a gift in the morning in the lobby. Moreover, several other pictures from the past.

Sumire blinked once and then twice before leading her friend to the living room.

"Do you want coffee or tea?" Sumire asked, preparing to get the stuff from the kitchen, but Aika stopped her.

"Sumire," Aika said seriously. "Do you know how I got this?"

"Connections?"

"It was on my father's desk." Aika clicked her tongue annoyed. "It seemed like the newspaper company targeting you this time is from one of my father's side companies. I looked around and noticed that my father has information on you from when you were in Star Town."

"And so?"

"I'm sorry--"

Sumire shook her head. "The parents are too blame; the children aren't. Remember awhile ago you seemed surprised that I didn't know what connections you have?"

Aika nodded.

"It's not that I didn't know; it just surprised me that you have the same name as the ring leader of those targeting me." Sumire trailed off. "I know you don't have any bad intentions. This was just a coincidence."

Jae-hee sighed deeply. "I want to argue and say you are way too trusting, but we both know that isn't the case."

Sumire chuckled. "Indeed."

"What are you going to do about this? I spoke to Masaki, and he said he would deal with it like usual. But I think you should personally do something this time."

"Mmmm, I think so too. It has come to that point where ignoring them would only cause more issues." Sumire trailed off. "I see this is why Yuhi-san rushed off. I wish he would talk to me first before doing these things."

Aika rolled her eyes. "He probably didn't want to disturb your rest after wearing you out."

At those words, her cheeks colored.

"We didn't do anything."

Aika laughed. "Are you sure? Yuhi is like a beast. You should hear how he talks about wanting you all the time."

'That moron, what is he saying in front of other people?' Then again, he is most likely pent up from all that.

"Tell me something, Aka. Does experience matter?"

Aika paused. "Huh, I didn't think you would ask this. Normally your so calm, but when other girls in class speaking about this, you're frozen stiff and get embarrassed."

"Well, I'm not used to it."

"It depends on the guy. For Yuhi, it doesn't matter. He is the type who looks like a player but is one of those rare to find loyal types who will like everything about the girl they love."

"Then for other guys?"

"Seventy percent are jerks who care about the amount of sexual experience a woman has. The remaining sixty percent have strange fetishes like preying on innocent girls with no experience at all. Those sixty percent can be the cruelest because the women they pick on are the type to fall in love with them and be unable to let go."

"I see."

Aika stared at her with a severe gaze. "Sumire, about Nagawa Sano. Initially, I wasn't going to say anything anymore. I said a lot of stuff without understanding the situation clearly. But, now I have a clear picture, I can tell you that guy won't change. It may seem like he has, but there will be moments where you see the old him again."

Sumire thought back to that kiss and the words that followed after. She tells Aika about it, and her friend looks very angry.

"You just left him off the hook like that?"

"Well, what could I have done?"

"If I were you, I would have ripped him a new one and made sure he doesn't have the nerve to harass another girl."

Sumire laughed. This is why she likes Aika-chan; she is so straightforward and blunt. She has never had a friend with such a powerful personality before.
