Eternal Melody

Chapter 339 - Cold Rain Part 1

One of the key signs that she is now living a normal high school life is summer homework. A deep sigh escaped her lips as she looked at the large stack in front. Quite some time has passed since she last studied like this. She did not want Atushi or Jae to worry about her, so she lied and said she was working on new songs. If they learned that she had this much homework to do, then she would never hear the end of it?

"Well, I just used that formula."

She dropped her pen, all of these problems are due tomorrow. That math teacher gave them such difficult problems.

It's not as though she couldn't solve them because this is something she could solve rather quickly. But that is only if she used her regular ability.

Yes, what she's finding difficult now is how to solve this the normal way. It's a complicated problem. After all, how do people with regular levels get this kind of question wrong?

She sighed; she supposed this is her fault for missing all those days now. To think she would suddenly start regretting it. Now that she is a third-year student, exams and all these assignments are more important.

Her thoughts broke off when she heard a voice mumble in her ear.

"Hmm… What is this? Are you doing math?"

Her eyes widened when she saw who it was. It was none other than her black hair boyfriend. He came back much earlier than she thought. When she heard that he had important work, Sumire immediately knew what it was about.

"Wah! Yuhi?" Sumire exclaimed.

"So noisy. That loud voice," Yuhi said, in his usual monotone as he yawned.

"Anyone would be surprised if they weren't aware of someone behind them!"

Normally that is the case, but she and Yuhi share a connection. He can't do what he did just now.

She should have noticed that he snuck up on her. As she thought, something really must have happened after that day. The day where she admitted that she was using Sano, for some reason, the connection between her and Yuhi became strange.

"Since you were groaning and further distorting your ugly face, I wanted to do something."

Hey !!!

How can he say something so cruel lightly? She looked away from him then.

"I am busy with these problems. So if you have something you want to do here then please hurry up."

"Oh, I came here because I wanted to sleep."

"If you wanted to sleep, please sleep in your room."

"I don't want to. My room is a mess now." Sumire looked at him skeptically, thinking he was lying until she recalled what Atushi had told her about renovating the room plans—but not starting due to the mess.

"Then, you should tidy it up."

Yuhi, however, did not reply and walked over to the couch. She watched as he immediately laid down, and she sighed. This guy just does whatever he wants.

They do not spend as much time together as they did before so this situation isn't too bad. She returned to solving the problems in front of her. Sumire would occasionally glance over at Yuhi.

His sleeping face is cute too, and she wants to get a bit closer to him. On the other side of the mini table was the couch Yuhi laid on. Sumire changed her position, so she was right below the couch. This is nice too, spending small moments with him like this.

She felt the sudden beating sound of her heart. Even when Yuhi is not awake, she ends up in this state around him.

I feel nervous and slightly shy.

Why does being around this person make her act like a silly young girl? Now that she thought about it, it was the same before too. Back when he was her subordinate, and she was his boss, she ended up behaving oddly.

Sumire managed to solve a few of the complicated questions in the simplest way possible until she struggled with another one.

"I don't know what to do about this one."

Ah, now that she thought about it, Yuhi is supposed to be older than her. He is a senior technically; she wondered if she should mention having issues with this problem. Guess it is worth a shot.

Going to Shin at a time like this would be useful but he would tell her directly and bluntly, 'Answer it by your own ability'.

Alright, let's go ahead and try. Sumire decided as she stood up. She picked up her maths exercise book.

"Uhm… ..Yuhi…yuhi… …?" Sumire called out.

After a few seconds, he stirred. "Ugh, what?" He trails off, looking over at her. "You sat down on the couch. Are you trying to attack me?"

'Wh--what is he talking about?' Or rather, since he just up, there was something seductive about his voice.

She manages to hide her blushing cheeks. "It-it's not like that! This problem, I was wondering if you understood it, Yuhi. It's a little hard. Can you teach me?"

It isn't hard at all. She can solve it quickly, but she can't solve it the normal way. If it is Yuhi, then he should be able to solve it normally, right?

Yuhi glanced over at the page. "I don't want to." He immediately refused.

Well, of course, I expected that sort of response. He is that kind of person, after all. Still, one would think since they are dating, he would change his personality more on this matter. It seems like that is impossible, huh? There are traits individuals can never change even if they try, let alone somebody who does the opposite.;

"You study from so much school work that you don't remember how to seduce a man. The way the world is, can't you pass easily?"

He was probably trying to get to her with his teasing.

But she genuinely felt stressed, so she has no time to spare to entertain him.

"I understand, forget it. " Sumire mutters. What was she expecting? This is the time he normally takes his naps.

Sumire sighed deeply, and she shouldn't have asked. "Well, even though you are a third-year Yuhi, the school held you back. You barely attend class, and before I came here, you seldom went anyway. I suppose you won't even know any of this stuff."

"I see, so that is what you think of me?"

Sumire realized what she just said out loud and covered her mouth. She didn't mean to say that stuff out loud. Then again, even thinking it is dangerous. Yuhi has an odd ability. He can tell what she thinks before she even says anything.

"I didn't mean anything by it."

Sumire tried to escape, but he grabbed hold of her arm. "Hmm. You're lying. Did I hear correctly? You were saying bad things about me. I may be half asleep, but I heard what you said about me. Though that was the case, I don't recall telling you any of that stuff."

Oh, why did she have to run her mouth for? What is she doing to make the situation worse?

"It wasn't deliberate."

Why on earth would she walk into a life and death situation?
