Chapter 475: This Should Be Enough

It was something Yuhi avoided asking her. The topic isn't taboo since they both work in this business but for the two of them who once spoke about their dreams to have a normal life, it was a sensitive issue. Although he resigned from the underworld organisation Holy Knights, he only stayed away from underworld matters for a short while.

Before he knew it he gathered his own group of people, and thus akagumi. At first Yuhi did not intend to do anything with the group. They can all gather around him due to their respect and all that, but he didn't care for them. But several incidents lead to them becoming close.

He couldn't leave them alone, even though normally he wouldn't involve himself in impossible looking situations. They are the ones who gave up on leading normal lives, they all chose to take this path. They should be responsible for their own actions.

Yuhi recalled the time he stumbled on Yoru facing so many people alone. His partner had abandoned more like got captured by the enemy and they used the poor kid as leverage to beat up Yoru. Another member ended up involved in a gambling debt and had to pay millions. It seemed his girlfriend signed off his name and tried to sell him out.

All his members went through similar dark and gruesome things. He could have left them alone, but when he thought about how Sumire helped him he understood. He could have ended up just like them all powerless, and alone. 

If there is just one person who is willing to extend their hand out, then maybe hope will return to their eyes, maybe they can live again. 

It was a stupid and foolish gamble. What if it didn't work out well and he only made the situation worse? Some of his members had other people they could have turned to but chose not to, they chose to face their hardships alone. 

They could have criticised him for interfering, he might have even made their situation worse. But he couldn't bare it, he couldn't just walk away from that sight.

He really has become soft, but he supposes that wasn't a bad thing. If it were the past him he would have hesitated more. Back then he wouldn't have wasted on such things that would drag him down. The moment somebody invests in something to the point it becomes a burden, is the moment where things fall apart.

It was a sign of weakness, caring for other people, feeling something and acting carelessly on such feelings.

Yuhi paused in mid-thought and sighed. His gaze fell on the grey coloured skies. Is it going to rain again?

He thought back to what happened recently and paused. He wondered if it were okay to give it to her like that. But recently they have not had as much time to spend together. With her staying in the hospital he has to refrain from seeing her. 

Jae and Atushi keep acting considerate but he knew what they really thought. Sometimes Yuhi didnt know what he was doing with Sumire. No matter how much he loved her, there were days where he would wake up not understanding why he even approached her. The reason he thought this way has nothing to do with her. While Sumire hesitates a lot regarding their relationship, the girl has persisted through all the complications.

She seems a lot more comfortable around him now, she can smile more. Moreover, a huge sign that something had changed is that she returned to him. One of the things he feared when they first dated was Sumire leaving him. If she ever left for whatever reason, he knew she wouldn't return.

So the fact that she came back to him already shows that she has changed, and that the situation is different. She returned to be with him, that is enough progress.

Yuhi was walking around the main streets, before he found himself in a quiet shopping district area. It was here where he realized that somebody was following him. He glanced back and somebody quickly hid behind a pillar. They moved quickly but he still caught a glimpse of the person, to be exact their hair colour. Brown coloured hair- Yuhi had many acquaintances but only one person has that shade of hair.

Yuhi rolled his eyes as he strolled over. "The little miss that is hiding over there. Are you my wife?"

"No!" Sumire exclaimed.

"If your not her then I guess I can bully you-" Yuhi's sentence fell short when she left her hiding spot. The girl raised her fist to hit him but Yuhi grabbed hold of it as he calmly said. "I am only joking, I won't."

Sumire didnt say anything but moved her hands away, she kept her head down. Yuhi looked at her carefully and noticed something. She wore the earrings that he gave her recently.

Yuhi picked her up and she immediately buried her face in his neck. For the next few minutes nobody spoke and he allowed her to continue sniffling. He eventually hears movement and asks her. "Did you miss me, Sumire?"

"You were late, I got worried."

"Like I would miss a date with you."

Sumire sighed. "I doubt that talking to another gang can be considered as a date. But, these people have been stepping out of line recently. If I don't go personally then they will use it as a chance to question my position."

Right, it wasn't a date. The two of them had to go speak to another gang about the dealings they are conducting on their turf. Even though Sumire is involved in the underworld society, there are certain things she doesn't tolerate. One of them is drug exchanges, it is one of the first thing she prohibited when she rose to her position at the top. 

Naturally there are many groups who disliked this rule, but normally people followed it. The ones who sneakily try this end up found out by her and the punishment is beyond harsh. Before he left there were many times where he went along with Sumire to punish these people.

"Did you tell Nagawa?"

"I did! After you left, I had an extra breakfast, went to rehab and did a few consultations. But it's so boring."

Yuhi chuckled when he felt her lips on his neck. "Enough sniffling, you did tell him properly where you were going right?"

"Che, I did. But enough of San, Yuhi. Aren't you forgetting something?" Sumire drew her face back from his neck and looked at him with expectation in her pretty eyes.

"Maybe you can remind me."

He obviously knew what she wanted but he wanted her to take the initiative. There is nothing more pleasant than his wife kissing him.

'Gee she is too bold recently.''

It was a scent he was all too familiar with. How did Nagawa get her to drink? Yuhi however didnt try anything more than kiss her. Sumire must have realized since she pulled away, but by that point she had already done some bold things.

"Are you sober now?" Yuhi asked.

Sumire slowly nodded her head. 

Her cheeks turned red as though she just realized what she did. 

"If you're going to drink alcohol, you should do so at night and with me."

Sumire pushed him away with her hands but he grabbed hold of it. "I don't like it when you run away."

"Don't tease me Yuhi. I--"

Yuhi softly kissed her forehead. "Mm, I know."
