Eternal Melody

Chapter 808 Red Feather Part 10

When she finally stopped singing, Yuhi was in disbelief. At some point, he just stopped playing and listened to her song. 'And this is only with half-written lyrics?' He always knew she had the potential from the very moment he found her in that karaoke bar after his concert. He knew this girl would become somebody special.

Yuhi had no doubt that Sumire's career would flourish even more if she finished this song. She was already doing so well but with this. It will take her right to the top. She would have rightfully earned those jobs rather than just covering for him and the guys.

Yuhi paid careful attention to the Japanese news and knew what others were saying about her. The news regarding her relationships aside, the one that stood out to him was that she was only getting jobs because he and the other guys weren't there.

Sumire is indeed covering for them, but she can only do so much. Some of those jobs require male artists, after all. So, it's not true that she won't get any work, however, due to the reports of the media and haters. Others are starting to believe that nobody wants to hire Sumire for anything.

"It's a good thing Hino is your manager," Yuhi said, breaking the silence between them.

Sumire blinked and then burst into laughter.

"Do you truly think it will do that well?"

"Take my word for it. It's good that we aren't in Japan right now; otherwise, we would get our buts kicked."

Their Cnbinestu is doing very well here but definitely won't stand a chance against Sumire's new song. When they come back, they will be releasing the Japanese version here since the one they have released now is the English version.

No doubt that Sumire's new song will still be doing well. It will be interesting to see the media's reaction when that happens.

"I can't wait to see that moment."

Sumire's gaze softened. "Ranking has never mattered to me. I just love to sing and wish to convey the emotions in my heart."

That's right, from the very start, she has always been this type of person. Anybody can say fancy words like that, but only a few genuinely mean what they say. Sumire falls into the category of those people.

"For this song, I want to dedicate to the fans who have stuck with me through thick and thin."

No doubt, she mainly refers to that girl with a heart condition who passed away. The other fans are important to her, but that girl contributed the most and made a difference.

"I am sure they will appreciate it." Yuhi paused. "But, just the fans?"

Sumire tilted her head. "Is there supposed to be someone else?"

Yuhi knew she was messing with him, but regardless he frowned and pointed to himself. "It wounds me that you have forgotten about me, especially when you just said hearing my voice motivates you." He said dramatically.

Sumire giggled. "I'm joking, my dear. You have always been my strongest pillar of support."

"Good, but this joke will cost you something."

"Hm, what about a kiss?" Sumire suggested.

A kiss, huh? Her idea of kissing and his are completely different. Although he does like kissing her pretty lips. There are other areas he would like to kiss more.

Yuhi smiled at her devilishly, and Sumire suddenly said frantically. "J-just a normal kiss!"

He shakes his head. "No, can do. You said a kiss. That means I can kiss you wherever I want." Yuhi trailed off. "There are so many options, though. What should I do?"

Sumire's entire face was even redder than before. "D-do whatever you want."

Oh? She has no idea that she is making it worse for herself.

"It's good to know that I have your explicit permission because I have many ideas of what I want to do to you."

"I-I thought we were only talking about kissing!" Sumire exclaimed.

"Hm? But you said do whatever I want."

Sumire looked at him horrified, as though she just realized what she said.

"So, like I said before, you have time to think about exactly where you want to be touched. But now you have to remember the same thing applies to me. I can think about different places to touch you-" Yuhi is cut off when she suddenly ends the call.

From: Sumire

I have to go now, prick.

But have a good day.

Yuhi laughed. She really is adorable.

......

At XX Studio.

By the time he arrived at the studio, it seemed like Takeyama had already thrown several fits, not solely because of him. But due to, the program director who decided to change the opening performance to them at the last minute. All because one of the new female singers was throwing a tantrum, saying she was under too much pressure to be the opening act.

Yuhi, however, has been in this industry for many years. He is very familiar with the tantrums of artists in the industry, especially those who have just started out.

Had it been the past him, he may have offered to go and talk to this new artist. These talks that would usually end up with exchanging their numbers, a kiss, and well talks about meeting afterwards.

Not anymore. He won't do that stuff. No, he hasn't done any of that since he started dating Sumire. Or even before then. Yuhi plops himself on the couch, waiting for Takeyama to finish.

His other team members were keeping themselves occupied. Yuhi closed his eyes and thought of Sumire. Not a single day has passed when he hasn't thought about her. The constant calling and messages aren't just to reassure her but also for his own sanity.

He thought it would be enough for him, but he was wrong about that, so very wrong. The more they spoke, the more their shameless flirting became scandalous, and he could no longer take being apart from her. He could no longer take, not being able to touch her.

Recalling how they parted, with him kissing her over and over again. Her soft giggle.

'My dear, you have to let me go. But we can continue this another time. Maybe if I'm not drained after the concert?'

Yuhi had to tell her that he probably wouldn't be able to summon the space for a while. She seemed upset but nodded.

'Then I will do it.'

The fact that he could summon the space then had mainly been due to his willpower and his strong need for her.

Yuhi sighed. With great power comes great responsibilities. He knew better than to abuse the dream space. If Sumire could learn how to, then it would ease the burden on him. But, at the same time, he doesn't want her to over-exert herself.
