Eternal Melody

Chapter 625 The most important

After all, she has already exposed her skin to somebody who isn't Yuhi. Of course, that happened before they dated; it occurred during her previous relationships. But she knew how much it upset him knowing that others saw her before him. She does not wait for his response and continues to kiss him. It did not take long before he kissed her back just as passionately.

She can sense his emotions clearly whenever he kisses, no, whenever he touches her. Why does he like her so much? Sure the main factor must be due to what happened when they were younger. But even then, his level of devotion to her surprises her.

Sano was very devoted to her, too, but he had ulterior motives. Ru didn't have ulterior motives; he just genuinely liked her. He was devoted, too, but he still drew the line.

Yuhi suddenly bit her lip, and she pouted. "I'm not thinking of other men deliberately!"

"Oh, so you're admitting now that your thinking of them?"

Geez, Yuhi-san can be so petty. Then again, is she one to talk? Her recent behavior is beyond appalling. She felt embarrassed, but she knew she still wouldn't be able to treat the childhood friend kindly.

Now, who is the one being stubborn?

"I hope you can tell me what has been troubling you recently. I know we cannot spend much time together because of our work, but you can still call me whenever you need me."

"That's true. Sorry, I tend to have this bad habit of doing everything alone. You see, Yuhi, I am starting to regret it a bit. Returning to the entertainment industry. Indeed, I do not like the idea of abandoning my dream. But the people in this industry frighten me so much."

How can they use such frightening words? How can they scheme and harm people to the point that it completely destroys their reputation?

Yuhi caressed her back, and a content sigh passed her lips. "If you were the only one in the industry, Yuhi, I would be more relieved."

"So you could listen to my voice more?"

Seriously, he always tries to tease her! Yuhi leaned forward and lightly nibbled on her lips.

"I understand how you feel. I was frustrated with the industry a lot at the start."

"Do you not feel frustrated anymore?"

"It's more like I have learned to accept the situation. No matter what we do, we cannot erase jealousy and greed from the world. You told me before too that there can be no light without darkness, did you not?"

That's right; she did say something like that before.

"I know you are feeling uncomfortable. But the longer you are in this industry, the longer your resolve will become."

"You're saying I will get used to this."

"Yes. I know it is harsh to say it like this. But we have to face all this to achieve our dreams. Sumire, what is the most important thing to you right now is achieving your dreams, isn't it?"

"The most important thing." Sumire stared at Yuhi and then kissed him. "Isn't this?"

Yuhi blinked and then laughed. "Your acting so cute. Well, I also agree with you. Our careers are important, but I want you to feel comfortable in this relationship."

"I feel very comfortable, especially right now."

He brushed their foreheads together. "But we can get more comfortable, right?"

Uh, as expected, seducing Yuhi-san after what happened during Christmas only leads to her being teased. He truly is a work of art, though. How can somebody have such fine features and his hair? It's beautiful.

"I am pleased to know that you like what you see enough to ogle. But aren't you hungry? I made some food in the morning before I left; let me heat it up."

"Mmm, okay." She quickly got off him, and Yuhi stood up.

She kept staring at him right up till he left. Their current relationship isn't bad at all. It feels like they have a better understanding of each other now. She is more open to being intimate with him like before.

They go on short walks around the city whenever they have breaks from work. They always go grocery shopping together and eat all their meals together.

There are truly no problems. But what she wants to do with Yuhi-san the most is to sing with him. 'I should bring it up soon about wanting to release a song together.'

Wait, what if, with all this pressure from the public, the idol association board ends up getting Yuhi to sing with the childhood friend? Even if it is a performance, if they sing a love song, it will further reinforce the rumors. This is bad; why didn't she think of this sooner?

She has to quickly tell Yuhi her plan. Her thoughts broke off when her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"You seem to be in a daze, Queen."

At those words, she sighed deeply. "Eli, did you finally remember to report to me?"

On the other end, she heard a chuckle, and she sighed again. This person truly has a bad habit of teasing. Or maybe she is just an easy target?

"How is it?"

"Hmmm, your reputation is very bad here, Queen. Even the minor workers speak ill of you. How many people did you offend?"

Her eyes twitched, annoyed. Why does he sound so cheerful? Ah, talking to Eli is exhausting sometimes.

"If you didn't find anything useful, I will hang up."

"The eldest daughter of the Nagawa family and her mother seem to come here frequently."

The eldest daughter of the Nagawa family? Uh, what was her name again? Why doesn't she have any impression of her? She recalls the second daughter very well; it was the noisy one that always picked fights with her.

'I suppose I can ask San when I get a new batch of medicine.' The medicines he gives me usually lasts a week at most because she has to take several tablets a day.

Yuhi-san got her the last batch four days ago. To think only four days have passed since that childhood friend came, and already her surroundings have become more chaotic.
