Eternal Melody

"I may just be repeating the same cycle," Yuhi mumbled as he stared at the window with the perfect view of the auditorium. He could hear the cheers from the crowd from over here. "Ever since I accepted, so many people have asked me how enthusiastic I am about going abroad. Although I have smiled in front of the cameras, I have never answered those words directly. Of course, I don't want to go; I won't be fine being apart from her. But I understand that this decision hurts her more than me. I don't want her to cry anymore."

He was mainly angry because he understood why she was doing this. Perhaps he could have been more selfish if he didn't understand. No, the situation would not have changed even if he didn't understand her.

'I saw with my own eyes how determined she was. How could I possibly ignore her and be selfish?'

"I won't make a move on her while you're gone." Hino suddenly announced.

At those words, Yuhi's eyes widened. "Are you really sure about that? I thought your self-control was breaking."

"Damn it, you already knew."

"Of course, I care for you as my family. Naturally, I noticed."

Hino sighed deeply and mumbled how annoying he was. "I don't want to be unfair or have a repeat of what happened before with Cas."

"If you wanted Cas, you could have taken her."

"Like I could. I saw how much she liked you." Hino trailed off. "I don't want to have regrets either. But it would be unfair for me to move while you're not here. So you better be prepared."

A relieved sigh escaped his lips. "But you know, just thinking about you spending even more time with her."

"Like going to the summer festival together?"

Yuhi's gaze dimmed. "I need to return before the festival. I can't stand you seeing her in a kimono."

"I've seen her in one already; she wore one at a shoot."

Yuhi stared at Hino with a dark gaze. This person will become his biggest rival for her, won't he? Initially, he has mixed feelings about Hino liking Sumire, but he will stick to his word and not make a move while he is gone.

"I will take care of her and keep her safe. So, focus on properly getting your name out there this time."

'Right, every single time I have been abroad, I have held myself back.' But now he no longer has to do that, his serious music, because of Sumire's presence by his side. He has learned to love music again.

"Yuhi!" A familiar voice called out.

Yuhi's gaze fell in the direction of the voice to see Sumire running up to him. Her gaze was bright, and her face was covered in sweat as she fell into his arms.

"Hey, why are you so worn outperforming one song?"

"They asked me to do three more! Yuhi, there are so many people there! The stage is much closer to the audience too, and I can see everybody's smiles." Sumire said happily.

This girl, even though the FNS J festival had a larger crowd. For her, the small auditorium stage is better.

Yuhi leaned forward and kissed her. He hears a sigh from Hino, who said he would stall and give them fifteen extra minutes before walking away.

"My dear?"

"He says we have fifteen minutes."

Sumire laughed softly. "Okay."

To the very last minute, he will kiss these lips repeatedly. He doesn't want to forget this sensation, even for a moment.

.....

Twenty-five minutes later, he arrives in the auditorium backstage with Sumire. It's not his fault they took an extra ten minutes; Sumire got carried away.

"They're here," Kou announced.

"You're both late." Jun lectured.

Both Sumire and him apologize simultaneously, causing the girl to laugh softly and comment about fate. Yuhi had to stop himself from attacking her. Why does she always look so cute no matter what she does?

He doesn't know what he will do, not waking up with her by his side and seeing her smile. But, if it is difficult for him, it will be the same for her. She has resolved herself, so he ought to do the same.

"We didn't know what to do with both our chairman and chairwoman missing," Tetsuo commented.

"Let's have some fun," Jun said brightly.

"Indeed, music is supposed to be enjoyable." Ran agreed.

"What wise words from you. I didn't think you had a brain Ran." Tetsuo said.

"Do you want to start a fight?" Ran exclaimed.

"There are things that only we can do," Kou said.

To have something precious and important to him, ,he did not understand it back then. He knew what it was, but Yuhi never once saw it as necessary in his life. However, after meeting her, everything changed for him.

'You've connected so many people's threads together, Sumire.'

Yuhi steps on the center of the stage and puts the rose on the ground, and several lights come flashing out.

When the performance ended, he found the brunette smiling brightly at him, beaming happily. Yuhi felt his heartbeat increase seeing her flushed cheeks and smile as bright as the sun. Those clear and yet strong-looking eyes have always reflected the future and their feelings. He reached over and pulled her into his arms, causing the girls in the audience to squeal.

"Yuhi?" Sumire said, puzzled.

"Thanks, Sumire."

He has so much he wants to tell her, but for now, these words are enough.

"You're welcome."

Because of you, he can see the colors properly again.

It's no longer monotone. He no longer sees a single color.
