Although the Nagawa family owns most of the hospitals in this area, there are still other places. It takes her a moment to register the size of the hospital. 'This isn't their rival hospital, is it? Otherwise, it may be dangerous for me?' Yuhi must have understood her thoughts since he shakes his head.
"I won't bring you to a place that would endanger you. This is just a small hospital."
A small hospital? No, the compound is far too large to call it small. Sumire follows Yuhi down the path, and her attention lands on the large ginkgo trees on both sides. How unusual to see so many. This would be the type of place that Ru would like; he has always liked these trees.
They arrive at the orthopedic ward and start interviewing people. It seemed like the witness was too busy for the morning doing tests. Not wanting their trip to waste, Yuhi suggested that they interview people in the wards close to the patient.
But before they could enter the room, Yuhi suddenly grabbed hold of her hand. "Look towards the window." He mumbled quietly.
Sumire briefly glanced over and saw a reporter speaking to a patient. She frowned when she recognized who it was. It was the same reporter who was harassing her at the FNS J festival. After Hino's warning, that guy isn't snooping around her anymore. But it would be bad if they saw each other now.
A security guard tried to get him to leave, but the man was very persistent. Suddenly their gaze met, and she saw a familiar smirk appear on his face as he proceeded to walk over.
"Fancy seeing you here. But, I suppose it's like you to be involved in something shady like this. Now tell me what you-"
Yuhi yanks her towards him and starts running. Despite the initial surprise, Sumire follows his lead, and she hears the familiar sound of the camera shutter. She felt her entire face turn pale and break out into a sweat.
Oh no, not now. 'I thought I was getting better.' She truly believed it would no longer have any impact on her. But even now, hearing the sound of a reporter's camera ends up making her panic.

They continued to run, and his breathing gradually became unsteady. Since it was still early hours, the corridors were emptier, making it easier to run. Even when they ran into a crowd, they managed to swiftly dodge. Sumire knew from hearing the sound of the shutter that the man had no intention of giving up.
After turning several corners, Yuhi opened one of the rooms. A dimly lit room. She could hear the sound of rapid footsteps and frustrated yells. Yuhi didn't have to say anything; they had to hide. Sumire looked around and pointed to the bed that had a curtain draped over it.
Yuhi nodded and hid behind the curtain on the bed. Thankfully the light in the room was dim, so they could avoid showing their silhouettes. Yuhi has her leaned against the bed, with his body pressed forward. He places his hands on her lips.
'A dimly lit room, a bed, and being in this position.' All her nerves from seconds ago seemed to vanish when she considered their situation. She felt her entire face heat up and her heart racing.
Ah, maybe they can kiss? The curtain is dark; they won't be seen, and their lips are close enough to touch right now.
Right as she thought that, she heard the sound of the door opening.
"Tsk, where on earth are they?" She hears movement. "Are they in here? Hello?"
Her heartbeat continued to increase, whether it was from the excitement of being so close to Yuhi or being caught. The footsteps get closer, but before they can say anything, she hears a familiar sharp voice.
"I heard a reporter was causing a disturbance, but it's you again?"
"Kiragi Asuka!"
Ah, it really is Asuka.
"If you're done visiting, let me escort you out of the premises."
"If you're here, then Ibuki really was around. I knew it; she must be connected to this again! That murderer isn't satisfied with claiming one life."
At those words, she felt a dark aura from Yuhi, and her sweat fell. Dearest, if he keeps emitting such a scary aura there, cover will be blown.

"I see; you wish me to escort you to the Hyou4 headquarters? That can be done."
She hears frustrated yells, but the door is shut, indicating that they have both left. Yuhi immediately steps back.
"Sorry for invading your personal space." Yuhi rubbed the back of his neck as he apologized. Sumire, however, noticed the slight tint of red on his cheeks.
Ah, he is embarrassed. Just now, when she was worried, they would get caught due to the sound of her heart beat. But she wasn't the only one having such weird thoughts.
From: Asuka
Hiding or making out, please decide.
Sumire blinked, seeing the contents of the message, and immediately showed Yuhi.
"H-hey, I was only going to kiss her once." Yuhi stammered.
Sumire felt her cheeks turn redder at his words. He is admitting it? Yuhi quickly covered his mouth, but it was already too late. Sumire laughed softly as she tugged on the edge of his sleeve.
"We can do more than kiss Yuhi."
Yuhi looks at her for a moment before shaking his head. "Quit distracting me; let's continue the interviews now that guy has left."
"But, I liked it, Yuhi. I don't mind if you did what you said."
He briefly meets her gaze before looking away. She lowers her head feeling even more flustered than before. 'My dear, get the hint; it's not easy for me to say this too!'
Yuhi suddenly leans forward and mumbles in her. "-one thirty, the old music room. Will you be free?"
Her eyes brightened hearing his invitation, and she nodded. "Of course."
