Chapter 238 - Hard Time Understanding
A few days later
Since coming to Tokyo Sumire noticed how time seemed to go by very quickly. But ever since she stayed in the hospital, the days seemed to drag on.
She was very bored. Unlike the past it was impossible for her to sneak away and pick a fight. It"s not like the security is very strict here but her gaze fell on Sano who was reading some doc.u.ments. This man is always here so it is impossible for her to sneak away.
Whenever she stands up or stretches her arms he would question where she is going. The main reason why Nagawa Sano is the one taking care of her right now is because of Yuhi"s current situation.
She says situation but it is actually a good thing, her gaze flickered pa.s.sed Sano and onto the TV screen that was showing a footage of Yuhis huge concert. The huge one he delayed since her arrival finally took place. It seemed people were going crazy about his alb.u.m of new songs. The most popular song being the one he wrote for her when they first met.
Many people were speculating who this song was dedicated for.
If the media knew it were about her would they try to twist the songs message? Sumire did not want to think of such troubling things. She picked up her phone and flickered through the news.???e?????vℯl. ?o?

Teras.h.i.+ma Yuhi
No matter where she looked there was news about Yuhi everywhere, even in websites that were not related to music.
She browsed through the comments and threw her phone aside. So many comments from girls talking about how handsome he is. This is a bit troubling. She has never dated a celebrity before so she does not know how to handle this situation. It would be a lie to say it doesn"t bother her but at the same time she is very proud of him. He is doing so well right now and getting so much love and attention from the world. This is what he deserves.
Her thoughts break off when sano starts yelling. He was not shouting at her but the person on the phone. Sumire caught bits and pieces of their conversation. If he is so busy she wonders why he is even here again. As Sumire thought this she heard a beeping sound come from the monitor beside her.
Sano mumbled a few more words to the person on the phone before he walked over to her. He ran his hands across her cheek after he briefly checked the machine. "You don"t have a fever today right?"
"It went down." She did have one but it went away. In the next second Sano is kissing her deeply. Sumire felt her body s.h.i.+ver he continued his aggressive kisses. The way he forced his tongue inside her mouth hurt. A battle of dominance - what is he hoping to find? Sumire did not understand his actions at all.
Back when they dated and he kissed her something always felt wrong to her. No matter how good it felt something was nagging her at the back of her mind. She used to think it was wrong somehow.
When she felt Sanos hands on her s.h.i.+rt she panicked and moved away slightly. "S--Sano, wait, calm down okay?"
Sano mumbled something and she could not miss the look in his eyes. She sighed deeply. She cannot control this man"s mood swings. This is nothing new already. Ever since she was hospitalized here, this man kisses her at least once a day. It occurred to her that she ought to tell Yuhi, but when she saw how busy he was she decided against it.
Its not like Sano has done anything but kiss her. Sure it feels revolting but as long as he does not cross that line then she can cope with it. Other than the kisses he treats her quite well.
"Did something happen?"
"One of our recent investors got arrested. They caught him handing out fake bills, its quite troublesome."
Fake bills? Now that she thought about it, she overheard Atus.h.i.+ and Jae discuss that when they came over and visited. Fake bills huh? Its not a large scale issue for now - but in the long run it can cause serious harm to businesses. She needs to keep an eye out on it.
"Ah." Sumire trailed off. "Do you need me to.." She could not finish her sentence. This is awkward to offer since they are no longer dating. But she wanted to offer her a.s.sistance. It would be easy for her to fix this current predicament of his and minimize the damage.
"That would put you in a bad position no?"
"Well actually since I focus more on the business side these days it wont do any harm." It might even reflect well on her for helping Sano out.
"Is that so?" Sano seemed to no longer care about the conversation since she noticed how intense his gaze was. He sat down on the bed and leaned forward. "So recently I noticed that you dont seem to hate me anymore."
"Mmm I suppose."
She felt his fingers on her hair and she shuddered. "But you"re afraid of me?" It seemed this did not escape his attention.
"Well I am having a hard time understanding your behaviour."
She thought she had him all figured out but it turns out that is not the case here. Then again people change.
"Back then I was jealous."
For a moment Sumire froze. Huh? What? The news itself did not surprise her but she did not think she would ever live to hear him admit it. Back then Sano started behaving oddly because of senpai - because of Ichinose Aras.h.i.+. However he never admitted it. Once when they were fighting and she bravely mentioned it he hit her. It was the first time he hit her so she remembered it quite clearly.
"I was jealous. That time I kept thinking to myself that I wanted to get closer to you, and wanted to become a proper couple. With all that sneaking around it was difficult but I finally decided. I wanted to start with walking you back from school."
Oh so that was why he was there that day? A proper couple huh? Indeed from the very start of their relations.h.i.+p there was something weird. But Sumire was still happy nonetheless. He was a good guy and did not criticize her for being excess baggage, at least at the very beginning anyway.
Yes, it was all good at the start.
