Chapter 1229: Prisoner (9)

YUHI

In their seventh life he regretted keeping so many secrets from her. Even though those secrets were for her own safety. But the biggest secret he kept from her for two lifetimes was his identity as the spirit King. He should have told her everything, especially after she accepted the soul bond between them. There were so many occasions where he wanted to tell her.

Sumire suddenly laughs and for a moment it felt like his heart would stop. It's not like this is the first time she has laughed this evening but there is something different about this one. 

He can hear the thumping sound of his heart.

"What's so funny?" Yuhi tried to ask as casually as he could.

"Oh, it's just. Every time our hands brush against each others, you try to find a way to hold my hand."

'I must have been doing that subconsciously.'

Yuhi grabs hold of her hand causing her to drop the pen. "I was getting jealous of the pen."
