บท 784: I won't leave her side

Sumire has changed a lot in the past year, that much he can see. She is more confident and smiles more than she did before. But, the happier she becomes, it feels like the more she sinks into darkness. A deep darkness that nobody will ever be able to reach. He has observed the situation the past few days and can conclude. 

Terashima Yuhi makes her happy, but the more happiness Terashima gives her, the more she feels like she doesn't deserve it.

"Do you really like her?" Hino asked.

"Don't you know the answer to that already?" Toh questioned.

What use is there in asking stupid questions when his actions speak louder than words?

"I'm happy to know that you're keeping your end of the bargain, but you should maintain your distance. Sumire is taken." Hino said sternly.

Toh raised his eyebrow at Hino's righteous-sounding words. 

"I notice you tend to repeat that a lot, that Sumire is dating Terashima."

"It's the truth."
