Chapter 128 - The Most Beautiful Colour
Chapter 128 - The Most Beautiful Colour
Sumire was surprised when she entered the hall filled with paintings. No, not just paintings but different works. Sculptures and any form of art.
'I like you.'
'To reach you and stay by your side. I accepted the director's offer. I understand that he probably holds a form of dislike against me, and that's understandable. By accepting this challenge, I could more or less understand why he did it to taunt me. To isolate me. Either way, it's because I do like you that I can do this. It's lonely now, but be patient, because of that you have to paint your world.'
She already made her mind up. That's right, to be able to catch up to him - to have the right to be by his side. She will paint, paint the colors of her world that have grown even brighter ever since meeting him.
'Ru, in the end, it's because of you that the colors in her world became so bright. That is something I will never forget.
It is because of Ru that she no longer saw a monotone world. However, the one who initiated and made those bright colors in my world is indeed without a doubt, Yuhi.' Sumire thought.
'But I see now you have that sort of feeling. That's why I want to draw with you. Your pain, your joy. Instead of telling them with word. You're showing them through your drawings. Usually, such miracles are impossible. But I know you can do it'.
That's right; it was that simple. There was no need for her to cry, nor for her to grief so much that it showed on her face.
There wasn't any need for something like that at all. The things she can't say or express, she can do so in her painting.
The words she normally expressed through her songs, there is another way.
Her thoughts broke off when Aika patted her shoulder. "Impressed?"
"Very." Sumire nodded. "This is certainly an art's specialized school.
Aika laughed. "Well, we haven't seen Yuhi's stuff yet. That's when you will be amazed."
"Ah, there you are, Sumire-chan." A cheerful voice said.
"Asami-san."
"Where's your painting?"
"Actually---" Her sentence fell short when she heard her phone beep.
From: Atushi
We brought your painting. Aren't we nice?
Her eyes twitched, annoyed.

"You managed it on time. We were starting to worry." Akatsuki said as he placed his painting in the center of the room. Guess this spot should do. From the corner of his eye, he could spot several other works most likely from the third years.
"Right right, let's send a picture for Touko-san..."
However, the black hair boy extended his hand forward and snatched the phone.
Akatsuki looked puzzled. "What?"
Yuhi sighs. "Don't. Touko doesn't need to see it."
Akatsuki seemed rather flustered. "What? That's strange. You've always...always shown your pieces to Touko-san even after your break up."
That's true. For a while, he still kept doing that. He did it to spite her, to show her what she lost. But Yuhi realized that there was no need to do that since he has already gained something precious.
"It doesn't matter anymore.!
Before Akatsuki could make another retort, though, they were disturbed by several voices. Only to find several individuals cloaked in red carrying a huge canvas, "
"Alright, now you guys. Settle it opposite Yuhi's." Atushi directed.
Is that Sumire's painting ---?
So she had Atushi, and the other guys carry it. Did that mean it was at the bar before? How could he have missed that?
Once the guys settled it down, his eyes went widened. This usage of colors is... However, he didn't have much time to admire the painting since the brunette hair girl showed up.
"Guys! Don't just take my painting without permission."
"Hmm? What's wrong. It's finished anyway." Atushi said nonchalantly.
"That is beside the point ---!" Sumire exclaimed. Their gaze interlocked with each other then. "Yuhi...."
"It seems like you made it."
"Well, I wanted to be late, but I guess not. That aside, what about your painting?"
It was when she said those he found a grin creep up onto his face. He pointed to the large canvas opposite. "My painting is over there."
Yuhi watches his girlfriend's reaction and finds it quite amusing; she's really stunned, huh?
Yuhi understood her thoughts. Even he is surprised that he could paint with such a bright and vibrant painting. It isn't like him at all. It seems like she has influenced him in this short amount of time.ššāÆešš¦šššŃµeš”. šš¼š
"Amazing, what is this? The bright light from Sumire-chan's painting reflects down on your road of stars. The two paintings connect." Akatsuki said beside him, completely stunned.
Heh.
"I think when two people are in complete harmony, this happens naturally. I mean, I'm sure us dating helps, but we've always shared a beautiful connection."
Yuhi said that intentionally loud so that the film crew who was nearby would overhear. In an instant, they surrounded the brunette.
"Err, excuse me. I am from a monthly arts magazine. Your Terashima Yuhi's partner and girlfriend, right? Could we take a picture of you two together?" The reporters said with a glint in her eyes.
"Sumire looked completely puzzled, "Huh? Em...that's..."
He chuckled at his girlfriend's reaction and walked over. He looped his arm across the girl's shoulder. "It's alright, come on smile."
Sumire shyly covered her face, but she whispered something in his ear. "Thank you, Yuhi-san."
A single word and yet it contained so many powerful emotions. 'Thank you, huh?"
Although he had completed the painting, Yuhi still wasn't satisfied with it. Even to the very end. However, he realized something in the process; of course, it's normal not to be satisfied.
After all, it's only ' half' the painting. It will only come to life when their work is together. But the black hair boy didn't realize it would be like this.
Heh, she continues to amaze him. His gaze landed on his best friend, who shook his head and yet still snapped a photo. He supposed it couldn't be helped on that department; those two were always good friends. By those two, he meant Touko and Akatsuki.
Yuhi understood why his friend would be dissatisfied, but he cares about Sumire more.
Well, even if Akatsuki doesn't take a photo. The reporters will write an article about it.
Touko huh? He will eventually have to tell Sumire the full story eventually. But for now, there is no need for that.
It seems to be that way. The most beautiful color only shows up when she is around.
Only when he is together with her does this hollow feeling disappear.
