Eternal Melody

Chapter 1054 This is me Part 31

SUMIRE

Two days before her concert with Siena. Hino decided to fill her schedule to the brim. So much for spending quality time with her children. Although, Atushi has been bringing Kyoko over to visit her during her work hours. Normally this wouldn't be allowed. An idol having a child is already weird, let alone bringing said child to work. However, Hino made the arrangements. She has no idea what he did but nobody is saying anything. It still isn't enough, she really wants to spend more time with her kids. Today, she had work at Tokyo sky tree.

She would love to have a date with Yuhi-san here, there are many places for couples to get lovey-dovey.

From: Sumire

From: Yuhi

Got it, I'll book the place out and fill the observatory with your favourite flowers, and we can cuddle.

Her eyes sparkled. She wanted to video call him right that second but the moment she was about to. She spotted a woman with purple coloured hair at the observatory deck. Even though the woman had her back turned. Sumire immediately recognized her.

From: Sumire

*insert thousand of kiss emojis*

Muwaaa, I love you so much dearest!

I just saw Yumi-senpai, I'll go over and have a chat.

And call you when I get back

From: Yuhi

I love you Sumire. Goodnight.

Sumire blinked. It was such a simple message but it made her heart flutter. Yuhi-san has been really docile recently, maybe that's why he has become more honest with his feelings. It makes her happy but, she wants to see him soon and hold him in her arms. During every video chat they have he looks even paler than before.

"Yumi-senpai." Sumire called out as she walked over.

"Welcome back." Yumi laughed as she reached over and wiped her face with a handkerchief. "Aren't you overdoing it? I've been seeing your face everywhere the past two days."

"My manager is a demon in disguise." Sumire sighed. "I get that we have a lot to make up for after losing two months, but he is overdoing it."

"Now, now having an exceptional manager will get you very far."

"I know, and it's not like I am not thankful." Sumire trailed off. "It's just, my career aside. I need to make it up to the twins."

Yumi nodded. "I understand. But, don't over do it. You have to set healthy limits. When your husband to be comes back, you should get him to take you somewhere. Even if it's a short trip."

A trip with just her and Yuhi-san. Now that she thought about it, whenever they made plans to go on a trip in the past. Something always came up to interrupt them. Indeed, they really could use some good quality alone time together.

"I heard that you stopped the media from slandering me further

and controlled public opinion. Thank you very much."

Yumi shakes her head. "I should have done more to help you."

Sumire laughed softly. "It's okay, I understand your situation. Moreover, I was the one who told you to stay back."

Yumi sighed deeply. "I shouldn't have listened to you. If I fought for you sooner, they wouldn't have bullied?you so much." She trailed off. "I understand that the last two months haven't been easy for you. But, did you at least figure out-"

"I did, it was my grandfather and cousin."

Yumi frowned. "It's true we did suspect it had to be a relative. But, your family situation is complicated. Your actual family members have been killed. But you still have a half brother, grandfather, cousin, aunts and uncles around. The Ibuki family hasn't truly vanished."

Sumire laughed weakly. "You don't have to worry too much."

"But now that we know, I can help you further."

Sumire shakes her head. "There is no need."

"You really are a kind child." Yumi sighs. "When I was your age, I wasn't so forgiving. I crushed my enemies like they were bugs."

Sumire sweat fell. "Uh, don't speak in past tense. I know you still do that."

Yumi winks. "If you ever need my bug crushing service, you know all you have to do is ask me."

"Thank you, but it truly is okay. It's fine I've got friends I can rely upon. Friends, and the love of my life who will always be my side.?Besides whether it be macro or micro scale. There will always be hate, conflict, jealousy in the world. It's disheartening to see people continue to hate one another. Despite all the scientific advancements mankind has made. "

It's upsetting to see that no matter how much time passes by, such deep hate exists in people's hearts.

"But I still love this world despite it's faults. I have faith that humans will continue to evolve. It might not be fast but I believe we will continue to improve."

Yumi smiled softly. "Indeed, people can still change, and your music. Your singing can bring about that change."

Sumire blinked. "Yumi-senpai, you've always had such blind faith in me."

"It's not blind faith. I knew from the moment we met that you would be someone special. Someone who would pull the idol world, no the entertainment industry to greater heights. In just a few months, you have achieved so much."

Sumire laughed. "Yumi-senpai, you have been watching over me too much."

Yumi winked. "I've become a fan." She trails off. "You really do sing well Sumire-chan. I can tell how much you love singing."

"I do. But, the reason I love singing is because of you and Yuhi-san."

Yumi shakes her head. "We may have inspired you to pursue your dream, but singing has always been there for you. It's within you, those songs and all those emotions."

Sumire didn't say anything but nodded. Yumi-senpai is right, these emotions have always been there. Seeing Yumi-senpai and her dear sing only ignited what was already inside her.

"You really are popular though."

Sumire blinked seeing what Yumi-senpai was looking at.

Ru was waiting by the entrance with a guitar. Because he isn't a public figure, nobody was taking pictures without permission

But, he was attracting too much attention.

Yumi giggled. "He clearly looks uncomfortable. Maybe you should rescue him."

Sumire nodded and bowed. "I'll treat you to a meal to thank you some time."

"Make that a home cooked meal. I've heard rumors about your amazing culinary skills."

"You have a deal." Sumire quickly excused herself and headed for the elevator.

Because it was night, there wasn't that many people. But, Sumire made sure to stay to the side and out of sight.

"Are you going to the concert?"

"No, I couldn't get any tickets. It sold out way too quickly."

"Ibuki is really good after all, it makes sense."

"Right? That voice."

Her voice huh? It still feels weird for her to hear so much praise about it.
