A private island? 'I have loads of those. I will find out where he took her and take her to a better place.'
"Due to the age difference our schedules did not match up, so he was often busy. Whenever he had free time I would be in school. But we still made it work. He was a busy man, but he made enough time to call me daily. It was reassuring for me just hearing his voice everyday to show that he hadn't forgotten me."
"You must have had a lot of fears, since he was older than you."
"Yes." Sumire admitted. "I was always worried that an older woman who was his age would snatch him away. But he always reassured me." She laughed weakly. "At some point he stopped doing that. I guess that was when he started to cheat. He is not the type who can lie with a straight face after all. So when I started probing him about his cheating, he gradually told me."
"I'm sorry for bringing this up."
Sumire shook her head. "I think it is okay, you deserve to know what happened back then. Oh do you want to talk about Ren too?"
"I think this is enough for today." Yuhi picked some takiyokay and extended it towards her. "Eat."
Sumire laughed. "Alright."
After they finished eating, they returned to the others. It was almost midnight. Thankfully, the other guys had lined up to ring the bell and they were second to the front. They would be the next ones, by that time it should strike midnight.
He already has it all planned. He sent a message to Hino a few minutes ago checking if it was ready.
Yuhi felt the girl look at him, no he found her stares at his hands and he blinks. Honestly, she's way too obvious. "Do you want to hold hands? There's a lot of people here. "
Sumire's gaze softened. "Then I'll monopolise your hand for a bit Yuhi."
"Yeah. "
When the girl firmly intertwined her pretty hands with his, he felt content. Even more than holding her, simple actions like this seem to be enough for him. He wondered since when did he become such a simple person?
Although he felt restless after hearing how she spoke about that fashion designer guy. Whenever he touches her all those fears seem to vanish.
"After we finish here, why don't we watch the sunrise? You found that nice spot before."
"Mm alright. But we can't stay out too late. The little one is all alone."
"We left him with that researcher, he should be fine."
Sumire laughed. "Yuhi-san, even if you want to monopolise me you should keep your desires in check."
"If you ask me I have been doing a great job refraining myself since christmas." Yuhi sighed. "We are both going to be busy for awhile. At least let me steal your attention. Moreover I don't know when your new lover will show up."
Sumire's eyes twitched annoyed. "What lover? Toh is just a friend now! How can you be so rude after you listened to my story."
"Didn't you have his photo in your old student ID book?"
Yuhi remembered seeing it that time she was still settling into the school. She accidentally brought the wrong ID book with her.
At those words her entire face turned pale, before she slowly turned red. She looked at him horrified. "You actually saw it."
"Yeah, I saw some of your little love notes too."
"Jerk!" Sumire exclaimed.
"But, I guess what stood out to me was your photo.
"M-my photo?"
His lips curve to a smile. "Yeah. Although the others sent me plenty of photos of you. There was something refreshing and innocent about you wearing a school uniform. I fell in love with you all over again seeing that picture. I thought, ah she truly is the one for me."
Even now she is able to evoke such powerful emotions inside him. Yuhi glanced over and saw Sumire and his eyes widened. She was looking at him with an innocent look in her eyes, and flushed cheeks.
Yuhi coughed. "What's with you looking at me all dazed? You make it look like I just seduced you. Careful." He tried to say it in a joking manner. But it took a lot of willpower for him not to attack her.
"If you know then keep your hormones in check."
"It's not my fault, whenever I am with you I feel like you are seducing me and I lose all rationality."
"Shameless man. Don't blame me for your behaviour." Sumire looked away but the girl did not stop drawing circles on his hands.
"What are you going to wish for?"
The people in front of them are taking their sweet time, they will be cutting it close.
"Hmm, I wish the child is healthy for the upcoming year and I hope I can take him out more. A successful return to the industry and-" She looked at him with a smile. "Happiness with you."
Yuhi felt his heart beat increase. "I thought you weren't going to tell me. Isn't there a jinx regarding saying your wishes?"
Although he is not the type who believed in that stuff, he knew Sumire was a strong believer for those type of things.
"Mmm, but it is not like I told you the full wish so this is still okay."
There is more to the words she said just now? Happiness with him huh? They are already plenty happy.
Sometimes he can't believe how smoothly this year went by. When he slipped in that last note and told her to come to Tokyo. Yuhi did not think that the girl would listen to him, but not only did she listen- she even accepted his confession.
'Even though it was clear that she still liked Mamoru then.' He wonders why she ended up saying yes. Before Yuhi could ask her, the people in front of them finished and it was their turn. There was a lot of them but the others ensured that Sumire and him were in the center as they rang the bell together.
It seems they heard about his surprise. It was exactly three minutes till midnight, after three minutes it will be his surprise. He did a quick prayer.
'I want to be with her forever.'
It was a wish that was not limited to the upcoming year but for the future too. Yuhi waited until Sumire finished praying and right that second they hear the sound of fireworks. The girl looked up and he used that chance to kiss her.
In the sky lit up with fireworks there was a clear message for everybody to see. 'To be with my dearest Sumire forever.'
Although he could not openly propose to her, he knew this would send a clear message. Sure enough the people lined up behind them started to take their phones out to snap photos.
Sumire who was still resting her head in his arms after he kissed her looked up at the sky with red stained cheeks. "Y-you hooligan. What are you doing in front of everyone?"
"Staking my claim." His lips curve to a smile as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "You don't like it?" Yuhi tightened his hold on her waist.
"No, I like it. Happy new year." Sumire mumbled.
"Happy new year."
