BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137 - I Like Him More Than I Thought
Before she could say anything else, Sumire felt Yuhi slump his head on her shoulder. She glanced over and noticed that he was fast asleep. Sumire blinked and sighed.
It appears as though she has underestimated this person quite a bit. Not only did she underestimate his feelings, she has underestimated her feelings for him.
\'I like him more than I thought I did.\'
That was the last thought she had before she drifted of.
…....
Day 3 - Iro Road High School Festival -
"They say the flower arrangement club, is doing a haunted house."
"Whoa scary"
"But those 5 will be serving as hosts."
"Really?"
"We should check it out."
"Yuhi-sama."
"Kita."
"Taikeru is so cute."
"Kojiro.."
"They say Ibuki Sumire is amongst those guys.
"The Ibuki Sumire?"
"She is a rumoured beauty."
Sumire sweat fell when she heard these comments. She finished changing a few minutes ago, and was putting up the sign at the door. The flower arrangement club huh? She recalled what happened when Yuhi and her returned yesterday and deeply sighed. It seems like there are many things she still does not understand about Yuh-san and his school life.
To think he has friends like this from other classes and what\'s with this flower arrangement club thing? A bunch of guys and flower arrangement?
[GHOST HUNT

Welcome to the flower arrangement clubs ghost hunt house. However this is no simple haunted house, among the way you will encounter ghosts or hosts. Yes you heard correctly hosts. The five members of the flower arrangement club will be at your service today. But you must clear all your obstacles before you reach us. You can only enter one room once so be very careful.
-Flower arrangement club.]
At your service…huh? \'I don\'t want Yuhi to get close to any girls. But it seems like they planned this activity before she came to this school, so I have no right to complain about it.\'
Sumire understood that but it worried her. Those girls will most likely make unreasonable demands towards Yuhi.
Should she disguise herself as a customer and then occupy Yuhi\'s time instead? There is nothing in the instructions about a time limit. Besides who would know how much time she spends in there?
Her thoughts broke off when Yuhi hugged her from the back. "Hey, done?"
"Mmm, yes."
Yuhi turned her around and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Today we might be a bit busy, but we can spend some time together during lunch."
Sumire nodded. She wanted to ask him about what services he will provide the customers. This is still a school event so it shouldn\'t be anything unreasonable right? But for some reason Sumire got a bad feeling from this.
Her thoughts broke off when she heard the sound of a shutter. She immediately shuddered hearing that sound.
It was the sound of a camera from a reporter. It seems like the media intends to bother them today too. She thought this before, but what is with these people? Don\'t they have anything better to do? Sure this is their job and they won\'t get paid if they do not have a story. But there are certain boundaries they should not cross. This is a normal school event.
Artists have their private lives too. The reporters did not ask the school for permission. But unfortunately there are far too many to drive of. The school tried to yesterday, drive away the reporters. But they only managed half, and even then there are more people here today than the other day.
Yuhi kissed her forehead gently and squeezed her hands. "You okay?"
"I am--" Just before she could finish her sentence, she felt the bile rise to her throat.
She quickly rushed into the classroom and threw up on the sink on the side. A rush of bile appeared on the sink, due to the dim lights in the room she could not make out the colour. But it felt unusual to her.
Sumire felt Yuhi\'s large hands pat her back. "You okay Sumire?" Yuhi repeated.
She slumped her head on his chest. "Sorry."
She dislikes this weak part of her. Weakness is a sin, it only gets in the way. The moment one shows their weak side to another person is the moment they admit defeat. The moment they need to accept that their relationship with the other person will end. Sumire understood this better than anybody, and that was why she always held her feelings back.
She would not cry in front of anybody, she would bottle up all her emotions.
Yuhi shook his head. "You can rely on me, its okay."
It took her a few minutes before she calmed down. Somebody placed a cup of water in front of her, it was one of the flower club arrangement members Kojiro.
"Thank you."
Kojiro nodded. She noticed yesterday that he was a man of little words.
"Are the others ready?" Yuhi asked as he continued to pat her back.
"Yeah just waiting for you two."
Yuhi turned to her. "Why don\'t you rest for a few minutes?
Sumire shook her head. "No, I am fine now."
Besides she wants to make a good impression in front of Yuhi\'s friends. She noticed it yesterday but Yuhi acts differently around these people. Yuhi brushed his hands across her forehead. "You look sick Sumire."
"But I am--" Her sentence fell short when Yuhi picked her up and carried her. He took her out of the classroom and walked across the hallway.
This is the direction of the infirmary.
Sumire however could not concentrate on that since she noticed people looking. Despite how crowded it was, Sumire knew they gathered a lot of attention. Yuhi however did not notice and continued walking down the halls. She glanced over and noticed a distressed expression on his face. It seems like she cant say anything if he is like this.
It did not take long before they arrived at the infirmary.
Yuhi gently laid her on the bed at the furthest end. "Alright, go get some sleep. Rest for as long as you want."
"Only two hours." Sumire mumbled as she brought the blanket to her face.
His lips curve to a smile. "So you will admit that your sleepy now?"
"No."
Yuhi bent down and kissed her lips lightly. "Sleep well Sumire."
She must have drifted of right after he said those words, since she does not recall him leaving the room.
