Yuhi pulled her into his arms. "You don't have to be embarrassed. The news indeed came across as a bit of a shock to me. But I am happy that you had feelings for me then."
"But I turned you down."
"Yeah, you are silly. We wasted a lot of time."
"I won't leave you now."
Yuhi laughed at her words. "You are stealing my line. The moment you accepted my confession a few months ago, I already intended never to let you go."
"Till death do us apart?"
He sighed at her words. "Quoting Shakespeare now seems like a bad omen."
Sumire chuckled, but he felt her wrap her arms around him. His gaze softened. She truly is a fool.
"Atushi was the one who told you?"
"Atsuro mentioned something too. I went over to check on Huan, and Atushi was there too. He told me how things were going and if he knew that you always had feelings for me." Yuhi trailed off. "I didn't understand why he would mention something like that."
