Next morning, Iro Road High School, Physics prep room.
Sumire wanted to stay in his arms, really she did. But - but when she thought of the events of yesterday, she felt so embarrassed. She wanted to crawl into a hole and hide sowhere. She did not think they would end up doing it right away if she considers how Yuhi has been holding back this entire ti. She supposes this was normal, but it still felt strange.
Yuhi, she never thought he was like that. Since she ca here, he has acted like the perfect gentlem-- well okay that was wrong. There were many occasions where his behavior was questionable. But he never went overboard. That was the first ti she slt his cologne or had a proper look at Yuhi.
It was the first ti she saw that side of him.
"Ibuki, did you co here to daydream?" Shin asked.
"I ca here to hide from Yuhi."
Yes, out of all the places she knew of since she arrived in Tokyo. The physics prep room at school seed to be the best choice for her. Sumire did think of going to the bar, but she knew Atushi would question why she was hiding. If Atushi learns about her and Yuhi, then everybody back ho would find out. For now, she does not want those people to know.
Yesterday she was in a strange mood the entire ti. But now that her feelings have cald down, Sumire is starting to reflect.
My behavior yesterday was far too bold. What was I thinking?
Shin sighed. "You know Yuhi ca here earlier."
Gah? He already ca?
"But you were out back then."
Yuhi must still be looking for her. Sumire felt very conflicted; she wanted to go to him. Did he even eat breakfast? If he noticed she was gone, then he most-likely forgot to eat.
"If you want to see him, then go already; you're disturbing ."
Sumire slumped her head on the table. She could not focus on any of the mini-quizzes Shin gave her. She thought she could distract herself, but it did her no good. All she could think of was Yuhi's behavior last night.
"You two can do whatever you want, but rember birth control." Shin reminded her.
At that comnt, she threw the book at him; unfortunately, he dodged it and caught the book. "When your embarrassed, you end up rambling a lot."
"..."
"I like him," Sumire mumbled. "But, I still wonder if this is okay."
Would Ru be angry? Only three months have passed since he passed away. This did not feel right to her. But he was also the one who told her to be happy with Yuhi. The reason why she even beca involved with him was because of her feelings for Yuhi anyway. Now that she thought about it, didn't Ru say it too? That line about making her fall in love with him.
You can gradually fall for .
How many more tis does she have to hear that line? She feels so pathetic at tis. Why does it seem like she has not had a proper relationship since the one with Sano?
"Even if it isn't, you can't stop your feelings. Ibuki, you have always liked Yuhi. I don't understand why you ended up dating Tsueno Mamoru."
Sumire lifted her head up and rested her back on the chair instead. "Is it that hard to understand?"
"You thought he would never like you."
"Mmm." Sumire trailed off. "When there are so many more fish in the sea, why would he bother with sobody like ?"
"Yuhi is not the type of person who judges soone based on their appearance; you should understand that better than ."
Sumire laughed softly. "I learned that too late." She trailed off. "But there is no use regretting it now. I went out with Ru and ended up falling in love with him. The thing is Nakara-sensei, to the very last mont, Ru did not know my feelings."
"You never…"
"Yes, I never got a chance to tell him that he succeeded and that I fell in love with him."
Ru told her that he would be there for her no matter what she decides. But before she even got to say it, he left her. Ru said he would be by her side forever, but that was a lie. If he was going to lie to her, then she wishes he gave her so sort of sign. If she knew beforehand, then she would not have fallen for him.
"But, your feelings for Yuhi never went away?" Shin asked.
Why is he asking so many questions today? It feels strange--- a sudden thought ca to mind. Sumire looked around and spotted a familiar pair of shoes by the bookshelf facing the other wall. Her eyes widened, and she angrily got up.
"Hey, Ibuki?"
Sumire glared at Shin. "How dare you try to trap . I won't trust you again." She snapped and imdiately exited the door.
Yuhi was there, and he listened to everything. She feels ashad of herself. After accepting his confession and sleeping with him. How could she go ahead and talk about Mamoru again? She has no sha whatsoever.
Her thoughts broke off when sobody grabbed her wrist.
Sumire did not have to turn around to know who it was. After admitting all that stuff to Shin, she does not want to see Yuhi right now.
"Turn around."
She does not say anything, and Sumire felt him wrap his arms around from the back. His lips buried at her neck. "Sumire, don't run away from . I can't stand it if I don't see you even for a mont."
Here he is with his cheesy words and perfect lines again. Terashima Yuhi and his perfectly suspicious answers. He knows exactly what to say and accepts her scar. He accepts that she is more emotional than others. But did Sano not do the sa thing?
Sano said to that my scars are beautiful, that they make up who I am.
Sano said such sweet things to .
But look at how he ended up? Looked what it did to her.
Sobody who accepts everything about her, does a person like that indeed exist? Even if they do, could she accept them?
