Eternal Melody

*UNEDITED*

This new Sumire interested him so much. Sano wanted to get back together with her, but at the same time he kept his other relationships. He thought she was still the same as before and she would easily fall into his hands. But she seems to have developed quite a backbone.

He wonders what she thinks of him. When he broke up with her, did she grieve or?

"I dated somebody right after we broke up." Sumire brought up. "I even lived with him for a bit."

Sano looked at her blankly. "Kanagawa Ren, correct?"

Sumire did not seem surprised and nodded. "Yes." She trailed off. "He was the one who saved me from a pinch. After you dumped me, I went to a bar to get a drink and well that did not end up well. In your words I had a childish tantrum."

He already knew about that incident since he had his people watch over her. But by the time his people came to help, somebody already took her away. If Sumire knew he was the one who set that incident up, would she get mad at him? How would she react? He set that up so she would call him. Who would have thought that Sumire would end up getting saved by somebody else.

He calculated wrongly.

"You did not date him for long."

"Because he had to go abroad." Sumire explained.

"Aren't you lucky? After that guy left you got yourself another boyfriend almost immediately."

The look in the girls gaze did not change. "I was lucky huh? I did not have the time to be lonely."

Here comes another negative reply. This was the only part of her that bothered him before, she was unusually negative at times. Again with the teen angst, he often had such thoughts. But now? Now something is different.

His thoughts broke off when he heard the sound of rushing footsteps.

The doors burst open revealing Terashima Yuhi.

"Yuhi? What's wrong--"

Terashima rushed past him and pulled the girl into his arms. "Thank god…"

"I'm alright Yuhi, but thank you." Sumire mumbled. "Ah, help me get rid of these other copies. The sponsor copied too much."

Yuhi glanced over at him, his gaze was very dark. "Sumire, let's go somewhere else."

Sano watched as the two quickly left the room. "Were you not supposed to keep him busy my friend?"

Hino appeared from the other door and sighed. "Well Yuhi is hard to trick, he catches on quickly." He trailed off. "Hey, do you have to chase Ibuki Sumire?"

"Hmm? I thought you were supportive."

"Only because I don't think this is a good time for Yuhi to get a girl, he is at the height of his career right now. It is far too dangerous for him to be in a relationship. However, I changed my mind. Yuhi will do anything for that girl, he even told me this empire he built to this very day was for her. He loves her that much."

Sano blinked when he heard that declaration, he could even imagine Terashima Yuhi saying those words. The empire he built huh? Indeed, the empire Terashima Yuhi built was large. Ever since the boy debuted when he was ten years old, to now eight years later. He has the most connections out of everybody in the Entertainment industry, and also the business world.

He initially came to this company to make connections with Terashima. But who would have thought the guy would end up being one of his biggest rivals? Then again maybe he is the only one who thinks that way. A one sided rivalry is interesting too, because Terashima Yuhi does not see him as a threat.

"Sumire seems to be scarred deeply from the accident."

Hino nodded and passed him some papers. "These are the unofficial hospital papers. It seems she locked herself up at home for a month. She did not speak or see anybody at that time. She did not sleep for two weeks or so and when she finally did she had a mental breakdown." He paused. "Do you want me to continue?"

Sano froze when he heard those words. "Does she have a mental condition? I thought it was simply her neuroticism."

"I don't know where you heard that, but she does not have that at all. It is a secret but that girl has severe depression. I was actually surprised when I saw the records. She had it ever since she was younger, and yes even when she dated you. Didn't you notice the signs?"

The signs? Her passive attitude and her negativity? Sano genuinely believed it was all teen angst, he did not think much of it at all. So that's why she reacted that way when he called her a psychotic bitch. Huh, it suddenly makes sense to him now. So all those times where it looked like she wanted to tell him something..

"Anyhow it seems she did go to a facility for a while, but it ended badly there since one of the workers abused her. Her family decided to cover up the incident and simply brought her home."

"She often wore long sleeves to hide her scars. I saw them though."

Hino nodded. "Well, that's all I can say. I thought she was a pretentious woman but that isn't it. If Yuhi is serious about her, I won't say anything anymore." Hino trailed off. "I suggest you stay away too, it's a bit too heavy for you."

Sanos lips curved to a smile. "Do you think I can't handle her?"

"You probably could. But look, this isn't a subject you understand well. You might cause her more emotional damage if you're not careful."

"Hehehehe." Sano burst into laughter. "This is interesting."

Hino sighed and shook his head. "This is a very bad idea." He passed him the documents. "You read the rest of it alone, but I warned you in advance. This woman isn't normal. Your better of chasing after somebody else in the rich elite circle."

Sano shook his head. "No, there is no need."

Sumire, she will return to him.
