Eternal Melody

Chapter 727: Did he know?

The entertainment industry is truly complicated. Even though all she wants to do is sing, there are many other factors to deal with. She lied to Yuhi-san the other day. It doesn’t have to be a grand stage, even if it is just a small stage. No, it doesn’t have to be a stage at all, as long as she can sing, she can make any place her stage.     

Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi sat up, only to lay down again, but this time on her lap. 

“Yuhi-san, you can be very lazy, you know?” Sumire said with a sigh.

“The grass is uncomfortable. I have something soft nearby. Why do I have to suffer?”

Sumire rolled her eyes upon hearing those words. He is truly needy, needy, huh? Her gaze fell on his lips for a few seconds before she bent down and kissed him.

“Wife, do you want me?” Yuhi asked.

“Mm, but after this, okay? We have to remember time and place.”

A troubled look appeared on Yuhi’s face. “I should have told them a different location.”

“If you did that, I would be angry.”

“I just find it strange. Do you not want to be alone with me?” Yuhi asked, frustrated.

“I do. Hino probably didn’t tell you, but I almost walked out of the recording the other day. Ah, if I did that, I would have created more enemies, so it’s a good thing I have a sensible manager around.” 

Yuhi’s lips curve into a smile. “Even if you did. I would have made an excuse for you.”

“That is called using connections, mister.”

“No, it’s called relying on your boyfriend and future husband.”

Relying on him, huh? 

‘Not too long ago, I would have turned down his words immediately. But it’s different now. Even though I still think that over-relying on Yuhi is dangerous. I no longer want to take on the burden by myself.’

“Then, whenever I get annoyed at work, I will leave it up to you.”

“Sure, but if you do feel annoyed, that usually means somebody has made you angry.” Yuhi frowned. “If that happens, I don’t think I will be able to take care of them calmly either.”

Sumire laughed. “You’re already angry just imagining it, aren’t you?”

“I don’t like the idea of anybody upsetting you.”

“Nobody has; relax.”

The past three days have gone by so smoothly that she is starting to doubt whether she was in reality or not. It’s unusual that the black Alice organization people haven’t done anything. Moreover, during the concert, it seemed like Lucifer ordered the evolved humans to leave the concert venue. 

That man’s actions do not make sense to her. The medication San has been giving her has been very helpful despite the occasional side effects. It should be fine for the present her to meet Lucifer; no, her gaze fell on Yuhi, who was staring at her stomach. 

“When is your next check-up?”

“It was yesterday. Hino went with me.”

It is too dangerous to confront Lucifer while she is pregnant; she ought to wait until after she finishes giving birth.     

“Is everything okay?”

“Mm, both the children and I are healthy.” Sumire trailed off. “Oh, but I am getting along with the old midwives since I am frequently there. They keep trying to predict the gender of the twins.”

“So, what do they think?”

“Mm, they told me that having sweet cravings and soft skin means it will be twin girls.”

“But most girls have soft skin.”

At those words, she frowned. “Most girls? What girls?” Sumire questioned.

Why would he have the knowledge that most girls have soft skin? Which girls is he talking about? Or maybe he is talking about his past relationships? However, there is still a chance that he is speaking about the present.

Could it be? Is it the childhood friend again? Even though Yuhi has been avoiding her, it’s not easy since they have the same status in the entertainment industry.

Yuhi laughed, and she pouted, knowing that he did it deliberately.

“You’re cute when you’re jealous.”

Sumire sighed. “Don’t do that; just now, I was seriously worried.”

“We are getting married in a few months, so why are you still worried?”

He makes a valid point there. But she still can’t erase the fear of somebody more talented and prettier than her coming along and stealing Yuhi from her. Although, even if that did happen, she would snatch him away.

“Maybe you should find somebody else.”

“Oi.”

“You misunderstand. I am talking about acting. Can you imagine the scene of me stealing you away? My dear, maybe we should find a drama with a cheating script-” Sumire suggested.

Yuhi reached over and stretched her cheeks. “You and your crazy ideas.”

“I am only joking. Besides, if another girl so much looks your way for a few seconds, I end up burning with envy. So even a fake scenario would be troublesome for me.”

Yuhi sighed. “Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that head of yours.”

“How to make this relationship more exciting.”

“If that is all you want, then I have plenty of ways to make it exciting.” Yuhi leans forward.

Her cheeks color, hearing his seductive like tone. Uh, how did they end up on that dangerous topic? 

“I am only kidding. I told you already, Sumire, I won’t do that stuff unless you’re ready.”

“B-but, that means eventually you will do it, right?” Sumire stammered.

His lips curve to a seductive smirk, and she felt her already red cheeks burn even more.    

“Of course, I am a healthy young man, after all.”

So silly, so very silly, and yet she loves him so much. 

‘I wonder if Ru knew this would happen. Did Ru predict that she would fall this deeply in love with Yuhi?’ Ru was the type of person who would look straight ahead toward the future. He was always several steps ahead of others. He even gathered people who would help her.

If Ru knew from the very start, it makes sense why, even though he was so close to her. There were times when he felt distant.
