Then again this is one of the many things he loves about her. If someone were to ask him what he loves about Ibuki Sumire, he would not be able to answer. Reporters often made up lies that his relationship with Sumire is fake because of this. But it isn't like that at all. He has too many reasons.

The reasons build up every single day. He finds something new everyday so how could he possibly list it all?

His gaze fell on the girl who was looking at him with half curiosity, and impatience. Yet as he leaned closer he could hear the sound of her beating. She is so silly, even though she is the one who provoked him. Then again it is exactly like her to do something like this.

….

The following morning.

He is the first one to wake up for once.

The sunlight pouring into the room indicated that it was morning. Yuhi looked at the girl buried in his arms and a content sigh passes his lips. He was half tempted to go back to sleep but his gaze fell on the clock. He needs to drop by the company before going to school today, and he promised Nagawa that she would be back.

Sumire doesn't know this but he actually discussed this with Nagawa when she returned. He said that at some point the other guys including him would want to do something for her.

He didn't specify the date but it seems like Nagawa figured it out.

Whenever they do this it ends up this way. Sumire is always boasting about her stamina but he chuckled at the memory of last night. She shouldn't be able to say this now. A part of him has refrained from doing anything with her because he doesn't want their relationship to be based on lust like it was with his ex girlfriend. He refrains from interfering too much with her art because he doesn't want her to think he is controlling her like what happened with Touko.

Yuhi sighed. The one with the bag of insecurities is him isn't it? Sumire always blames herself for everything, and mentions how insecure she is with everything. But she isn't the only one. He needs to get over what happened with those two.

It was a mistake and if he could go back he would make sure he was completely loyal to Sumire. However he kept such thoughts to himself. He doesn't want her to get creeped out and he also knew what she would say.

After all she has repeatedly mentioned how she felt relieved to see him live a normal life and meet new people.

'I would hate if if you remained hung up on me, and that prevented you from escaping the underworld you hated so much.'

He didnt say anything when she said that but he for the first time he felt angry at her. Stupid woman, what is that hung up comment? It was only because of her that he managed to live this way. He got this far because of her.

Yuhi shook his head. He ought to make her some breakfast, she will like that wont she?

He quickly got dressed and walked down the steps.

The moment he reached the bottom he realized how quiet it was. The others must have gone home, they do have a live performance later on. It is better to get some rest. He scanned the bar area and noted that it was unusually clean.

Is Atushi already awake? When he left with Sumire yesterday this place was a mess.

Yuhi turned to the kitchen when he hears the sound of a frying pan and frowned. When he saw Atushi already cooking he sighed.

Atushi was cooking while Jae was leaning against the counter.

"Don't make anything for her."

Atushi points to some ingredients on the corner. "Use that to make something for Sumire. This is for me and Jae."

Yuhi rolled his eyes. "Arent you too prepared?"

"Jae said you would do this."

He looked at the smiling blonde with suspicion and Jae beamed happily.

"King, you understand that the Princess likes your cooking. You also like her expression when she eats your food."

"The details at the end are not needed." Yuhi walked over to the counter.

"So, about what you said Atushi-san. King got in trouble?"

"Shut it."

Yuhi immediately understood what they were talking about.

He really did want them to drop this topic already. Or maybe he should just take it out on Kaji later for spilling the beans.

"You could say it was something like that. Normally Yuhi is so cold hearted to people and doesn't pay them any attention. But he is weak against the fluffy type."

"Fluffy?" Jaes eyes shone brightly. "Another woman?"

Yuhi clicked his tongue annoyed. "It wasn't like that. I just helped her out because I didn't like the attitude of those guys." He cracks open an egg and places it on a bowl, opening a bag of sausages.

"Besides if I ignored her, Sumire wouldn't like it."

"Right right the Princess always says stuff like if you have the power to protect you should use it."

His eyes twitched annoyed. "How come you know that?"

Jae chuckled mischievously. "We spend a lot of time together."

His gaze dimmed and Atushi sighed. "Quit messing with Yuhi. He may act the way he does but he is actually a sensitive guy."

"I know. But if that is the case why are you just ignoring Nagawa Sano? I know you warned him before but it was only one time. "

Yuhi frowned when he heard Jaes direct questions. The others have avoided asking him this, even Atushi. But Jae is not the type of person to hold back once he has noticed something.

Atushi looked towards him and sighed. "You can say it now right? I respected your wishes this entire time. But you know I don't like Nagawa. I don't know if Sumire told you but I was suspicious about him from the very start."

"Atushi-san was suspicious but he was jealous too. So your opinion is invalid." Jae declared.

Yuhi sighed deeply. "I guess I can. Initially I intended to interfere from the start and clearly warn him. If I did he wouldn't have approached her."

He was very confident that he could have gotten Nagawa to stay away.

"But after I observed his behaviour the first time they met again I realized something was wrong. He was saying such cruel words and behaving like a jerk but his eyes told a different story."

"He looked concerned?"

Yuhi shook his head. "There was something more to it. I can't describe it exactly but it lead me to trust him."
