Sumire did not know if she relaxed or not. But, she did know that it made her feel hungry. Earlier she did not have time to prepare lunch, so she ended up heading to the cafeteria.

She usually disliked going to this place alone, but considering how Yuhi fell asleep, she had no choice. After doing something like that, how dare he fall asleep?

She ordered a simple lunch set and found a quiet spot in the cafeteria. Thankfully, the majority of students were still in class, so hardly anybody was around.

Sumire wonders if Yuhi actually wanted to continue. Despite his claim that they were only flirting, she felt that there was something wrong.

When it comes to Yuhi, she ends up having such complicated thoughts. There is no doubt, however, that she wants to be with him.

Yuhi is far too sly.

Sumire had always made that comment when they were younger, no even longer back when they were fighting side by side each other. But recently, that word always comes to mind. He is too sly..saying that he loves her before they do it or right afterward. No matter how many times she hears it, her heart feels like it's about to burst out of her chest.

So sly, saying words like that - even if she doesn't want to, she will be dragged into his pace just like that. The brunette felt her cheeks burn up; it's embarrassing. She is already seventeen years old, and yet such a thing still makes her feel embarrassed. Just hearing the words 'I love you' from Yuhi makes her heart, beat.

He says it a lot these days, or rather she can't even remember a day now where he doesn't say it. Of course, they don't meet every day, and yet even when he's not with her, on text, or on the phone, he… The brunette shook her head, now is not the time to be thinking of such things

Her thoughts broke off when somebody sat across her.

”Nakara-sensei.”

”Atsuro says he will see you soon.”

A deep sigh crosses her lips. ”Did you have to remind me?”

Shin sighed and extended his hand out to show her his phone.

On the screen, it was a simple message from Atsuro.

From: Atsuro

I will be coming for Sumire.

Coming for her, huh? Sumire played with the straw of her drink. ”I am not anybody's property.”

”You know what he means.”

”Telling me he likes me like this is unreasonable,” Sumire exclaimed. Though she suspected something before, to think it became a reality.

Atsuro always treated her with kindness but a different type of kindness. She noticed how he liked getting close to her and would touch her with no restraint. Since he was the main doctor in the underworld organization, they interacted a lot. Due to her poor health, she often had to see him.

”Do you expect him to tell you?”

”I prefer direct men.”
