147 Invisible Light Part 1 (1/2)

A few hours later - Yuhi's apartment -

A simple walk? It didn't end up like that at all. After Yuhi expressed his concern for her, he received many calls which he couldn't ignore. They ended up heading to the same place.

She knew that Yuhi involved himself in business matters too. But, that was the first time she saw him like that.

Yuhi fell asleep at last. It felt like he was even more stubborn than usual. Well, it was probably due to the talk of other men. That didn't stop him from kissing her, though. Kissing is already a problem. Why does he always have to do it without clothes on? A deep sigh crossed her lips. Perhaps she has underestimated this person a bit too much.

No, that's already obvious. But, ahh-- a conflicting thought appeared in her head. She thought she could tease him, but it seems like she can't when he teases her first.

Sumire opened the door and found Yuhi sleeping soundly on the couch. Yuhi curled up in such a narrow space. He looks like a large animal.

When she saw the dog there too, she quickly hugs her.

”Thanks, Aoi, for staying with Yuhi.”

The dog woofed in response as though it understood before leaving the couch.

She plops down and stares at Yuhi. 'This is the first time I can look at him like this.' She usually falls asleep before him, so she never has the chance to stare for long.

Pfft, he has creases between his brows. Is he dreaming about work? Those businessmen must have hassled him a lot. It's a good thing he managed to slip away from them. He looks so innocent when he is sleeping.

Mature and child-like. She only briefly got a chance to see these sides of him. But now she could see everything. A part of him, she doesn't know. 'What other things will she learn about him?'

Learning all this makes her feel ticklish. Its amazing isn't it, falling in love with someone? If she confessed to Yuhi sooner, would she have felt this happiness a long time ago? It feels strange still. But she does understand that she doesn't want to let him go.

Her thoughts broke off when somebody pulled her onto the sofa.

”Ah--”

”Hey, are you content with just looking at me?”

”Nope.” Sumire bravely leaned forward and brushed their lips against each other. A hum of approval escapes Yuhi's lips. It's embarrassing. But she wanted to do this for a while.

He pulled away. ”You seem tired too.”

Sumire shook her head and leaned forward again. ”I'm okay, I'm more worried about you.”

There's a lot to do. A deep sigh escapes his lips. It never bothered him to be this busy before. Being busy meant he wouldn't get a chance to think too deeply about what he can't have. But now that he's formulating on what to start with, everything comes rushing back.

In the end, all humans are weak. The same goes for her. She may be one of the most fragile people out there. But it's exactly because she has both a strong and weak side, that she is still here today.
