190 I think I like your surprises (1/2)

Hino showed up like Yuhi said. He was furious.

It was around seven thirty in the morning, she woke up to a large bang on the door. But she ignored it at first. Sumire looked at Yuhis arms wrapped around his waist, his lips were on her forehead. ”I think I am getting too attached to this.”

Yuhi only asked her to live with him because of her current situation. If she wasnt so fragile, would he ask a random girl to stay with him? No matter how much he likes her, normally one would not ask somebody to live with them so easily.

Others would say it is normal for guys to ask a pretty girl to stay with them. But is that genuinely the case here? If that was all Yuhi wanted from her.

”..ove…”

Sumire blinked when she heard those words from his lips. It was vague but what other word would end in ove other than love? She leaned forward slightly.

”I love you Sumire..”

Her eyes widened. Is this person an idiot? He must be a fool. He shouldnt love her this much, she does not deserve this much love and attention.

Another bang, followed by yelling.

Sumire knew she had to snap out of this blissful dream. She sighed deeply. She picked up her clothes and slipped them on, and combed her hair back with her fingers. Her dress from yesterday was wrinkled slightly but it would have to do.

Sumire took a deep breath and she walked over to the door. The distance from the door to the bedroom was not a lot, this was a regular flat. The moment she opened it, an angry Hino greeted her.

”You finally opened up you bastard. How could you skip like that? I thought we discussed this properly a year ago. You said you would make an exception for this event.” Hino was still ranting, clearly he didn't have a look at who he was speaking to.

”He is sleeping. Stop yelling.”

Hino looked at her. ”Sumire.”

She closed the door behind her and walked a few steps ahead until she arrived at the set of stairs at the end. It was colder than she thought it would be. But that coldness vanished immediately when Hino draped his jacket around her.

”Aren't you going to--”

Sumire half expected him to yell and get very angry.

”Well he stayed because you asked?”

”Yes.”

Hino looked frustrated but nodded. ”Alright.”

”Alright?” She repeated puzzled.

”Sumire you know already that I investigated you. I know about your..situation.” Hino chose his words carefully. But Sumire found it useless.

”That's not--” but the words were stuck in her throat. He was absolutely right. She had a moment of weakness and as a result asked Yuhi to stay with her.

Silence fell on them for a few minutes before she broke it with an apology.

Sumire knew he did not say it deliberately but it felt like a jab. It is exactly like what Sano said. She will stand in the way of Yuhis career, his dreams and his future.
