Shin wanted to help her, but if he helps Sumire, it would mean supporting her with Yuhi. As much as he liked Yuhi now, he was still friends with Atsuro first. It would not be right of him to intervene like that. He watched as Sumire slumped her head on the table again.
She looks so helpless right now. This was the first time he was seeing her this way.
His gaze fell on the bracelet in her hand and blinked. It seems like she is still wearing it. Shin assumed that she would take it off since he did not give a proper explanation.
The main reason he got her that bracelet is indeed to protect her, but he also wanted to give her a present. He was busy abroad last year, so he did not buy her anything for her birthday.
His thoughts broke off when he felt Sumires gaze on him. "Tell me something Shin, did Ru tell you anything?"
"About?"
"About me...did he tell you that he liked me?"
