Eternal Melody

Chapter 615 I hope you can find your happiness

'Whatever is wrong, huh?' Cassie noticed that he avoided looking at the medical reports even though it was visible. Even now, he is being considerate of her. This person does not change; she has noticed how unusually kind he is ever since they were kids.

It is strange because, at first glance, people assumed he was a gloomy child. As they grew older, that gloominess turned to 'he looks cool.' But none of these identities suited Yuhi at all.

"Then should I put you down in the guardian's contact information Terashima?"

"Guardian, huh. I think it's better to put Hino down."

"Hino, huh? This morning, he came by and asked me to write down his name for Sumire."

"Well, he is only concerned. As her manager, he has the right to do that." Yuhi scanned the bottles. "You didn't put anything weird in these this time, right? Last time Sumire caught a cold."

"Like I said, it's temporary. She was more energetic when she recovered, right? It's supposed to strengthen her vitality. But tell her to come herself next time; she is due another check-up."

"Alright."

Cassie felt the tension in the air increase and spoke up. "I have been getting frequent headaches. Is there any medication I can use to slow it down? I will be quite busy for a while."

"Right, I'll prescribe you some."

Cassie thought Yuhi would leave, but after she finished speaking with the doctor, she found him waiting outside the hospital by the gate.

"I'll take you home. Where are you staying?"

"Ah, then-"

....

Rose Apartments

Three years have passed since she last came here. 'I did tell the butler to clear it out just in case I came back. But he must have come recently; there isn't a single dust in sight.' Although she is uncomfortable with her lineage, she can still use the Hasegawa family resources as she pleases.

Since she suddenly returned, she didn't want to return to the manor. She bought this place back when she was rebelling against her parents.

But this place--

'Cas, your beautiful.'

Cassie frantically shook her head. She cannot think about that now. Her thoughts broke off when she heard Yuhi slump on the couch.

"Are you tired?"

"I may not look like it, but I have a thirty-eight-degree fever."

Thirty- "Why did you drive? Ah, quick, get some rest."

If the head butler dropped by, he should have prepared everything. She can grab a meal from the fridge and then give him some medicine.

"Sorry about this when you just got back. I just need to lie down for a few minutes and head back. I can't leave her alone when she is sick and not feeling well."

Cassie sighed deeply. "You're still as careless as ever. Why don't you call Hino over? At least he can take care of you."

At those words, a troubled look appeared on Yuhi's face. "It's enough for Hino to be tortured being her manager. How could I ask him to take care of her too?"

Despite his vague sounding words, Cassie immediately understood. "I see, so he found somebody else to like. That is a relief."

Three years ago, the last words he told her. Hino surely intended those words as a confession. But Hino likes Yuhi's girlfriend- is this not similar to the situation three years ago? Why does that person have to suffer so much?

But from the sounds of it, Hino does not resent Yuhi.

"So, what is she like?" Cassie did not want to look like she was prying. But she felt a bit self-conscious. After all the last time they were here, that thing happened between them. Of course, there is no chance of that occurring now.

Back then, Yuhi only slept with her because he could no longer take his loneliness. He had many other problems then, too, like the entertainment board, they kept pressuring Yuhi regarding the songs he sings. They disliked Yuhi writing his own songs. 'It's good to do that when your new, but most artists use ghostwriters after a few years. Your job is to sing, not write songs.'

They wanted him to focus on singing, pleasing the fans, and controlling his music. Sometimes Yuhi would write songs that weren't popular or in trend, and the sales numbers would go lower.

"Sumire? She is amazing. If you ask me what I like about her, it would be everything. I would never be able to narrow it down to one thing."

Cassie's eyes widened when she saw how enthusiastic he was. W-what is this sudden burst of energy? Moreover, those child-like-looking sparkling eyes.

"I mean, I am not just saying this out of nowhere. I really do like everything about her."

"Uh." Cassie trailed off. "Is there anything specific?"

"How she does her utmost for anyone in need. She is a very caring person. She can't leave anybody who needs help alone. Even if involving herself in their problems causes further issues for her how she is brave, bold but cute and very silly. Whenever I tease her, her expressions are very funny. But one of the most important things is how she could like somebody like me."

Oh, so Yuhi truly- 'I see, I did think so before.' He ended up in that state because he missed Ibuki so much. But she never understood why Yuhi refrained from seeing her for so long.

"What about you?"

"Huh?"

"Did you find anybody?"

Cassie felt a sharp pain spread across her heart when he said those words. 'As I thought, I probably do like Yuhi.' She went abroad to escape and distance herself, but the reality is she could not get rid of those feelings.

She did try to date others, but due to her status there, it made any relationship difficult.

"Sorry if that was a strange question." Yuhi quickly apologized. "I just thought it would be nice if you and Hino could find your respective partners and be happy."

He truly is a kind person. Cassie took a deep breath and laughed weakly. "Unfortunately, even when I did, the relationship didn't last long. I was very busy over there."

'-busy getting bullied. But I plan to hide that from him for as long as I can. I don't want him to sympathize and take revenge for me.' If Yuhi does either of those things, the media will misunderstand.

"Then, I hope while you are here, you can find happiness."
