Yuhi caressed her hair and didn't interrupt her once. He truly treasures her. "If you don't want to meet her, Sumire, it's okay."
"But-"
"Or rather, with Hino as your manager, he will probably ensure that you two avoid having the same jobs. Hino already sent word to the media not to overdo their reports; if they do, he plans to sue them."
Her eyes widened at those words. "Isn't that a bit excessive?"
"This is how Hino works; it's not bad, right?"
"I suppose." Sumire caressed his cheeks, and heat immediately transmitted to her skin. "Yuhi, your sick. You didn't have to go to practice."
"No can do; we have to perfect our teamwork." Yuhi trailed off. "Honestly, these extra training sessions are because my synchronization with ran is a bit off."
