Bab 544: Please treasure him

At the Akagumi Bar 

This place was the closest, so she and Hino brought Yuhi here. From its looks, both Atushi and Jae were out since there was a note on the bar. 

But, her gaze fell on the man fast asleep on the bed.

'Yuhi lectures me for being careless, but what about him?'

Still, she can't blame him. Sumire understood that the only reason he became this way was because of her. This is why she didn't want him to get involved. She already saw how dedicated he was to her. Sumire knew he would do something careless that would risk his health one day. 

'I still didn't stop him despite having those thoughts. A part of me must have missed working alongside Yuhi.' 

Back then, people naturally assumed they were a couple. There were a lot of rumors then. They spent so much time together, but nothing romantic happened. Sure, there were times when their hands would casually brush against each other and end up closer, but that was all.
