Chapter 600 Acknowledge

It didn't take long for her to start drawing. Sensei randomly assigned a theme to her and before she knew it she was sketching on the canvas. Before she knew it she was completely absorbed in her drawing.

This always happens when she is drawing. Complete concentration, right now the only thing she can see is the canvas. The noise in the background has faded away. In this world, there is just her and this canvas.

The topic was rather simple. 'A place you enjoy.' She simply drew one of the places Yuhi-san brought her to during their many dates over the winter break. He took her to so many beautiful places, but there were some she liked more.

Two hours later, she finally snapped out of her trance. Or rather somebody snapped her out of her trance. Sumire felt Yuhi's hand on her shoulder.

It seemed like sensei was in the middle of teaching class.

But the moment she put her pencil down, people turned their attention back to her.

There were those who never stopped watching her too.

"Woah--"

"Is that--"

"Who can complain if she draws like that?"

"No, no the point is she sketched that in just two hours--"

Those who had opinions regarding her before were looking at her differently. The girls who were previously insulting her looked livid. She knew they couldn't say anything.

"Good job, good job. Ibuki this is actually the theme for the next assignment. Since you already started this, you can use it."

"Eh but--"

"Normally we have one large center piece, a middle piece and the rest are regular sized works. Your painting will be the key."

BUt if that's the case, Sumire turned to Yuhi.

"I'm fine with taking the middle piece this year, it'll be easier since my schedule is busy."

That's true, even though Hino gave her a lot of work. She still has more break days, more time to go to school than Yuhi.

"Inuvik have you drawn large pieces like this before?"

"Only once. But it was for fashion design, I was drawing the clothes I wore on the runway."

"I see, that explains why the scale is a bit off. Terashima teach her how to adjust the size of her drawing."Shusei walked off.

'I didn't realize this before but this teacher is actually very knowledgable about art."

"Teach huh?" Yuhi brushed his hands across her lap. "I could teach you many things."

"S-stupid we are in the classroom."

Yuhi raised his eyebrow and she sighed. "Don't be silly help me out."

"When your drawing on a large canvas, the scale of your drawing is important. If you make a mistake your drawing could end up weird." Yuhi takes her pencil of her and takes out his sketchbook. "You see this is how I draw what you just did. The field looks smaller."

"Now let's go back to your drawing, the field is suddenly the largest part of the drawing. You did this correctly, but the measurements are off by a few centimeteres. From now on when you draw something from a large scale. It's better to draw it in several other scales first just to practice. Then line up all these pieces together and you can gradually get a feel of the size you want."

Yuhi is very talented. Ever since she July, no ever since she learned Ru was alive. It felt like she did not have much time to focus on her art.

The next six months she wants to focus on her dreams again.

"Yuhi-san, what did you put in your career form?"

"Tokyo University of arts. What about you?"

'Tokyo University of arts? Even though he got accepted to a place abroad.' Sumire sighed deeply. There is no use arguing with him on this. Yuhi has already made his mind up.

"Me too. But, realistically with the acceptance rate being so low it's probably not possible for me."

"Only as my second choice."

Sumire blinked when she heard those words.

"Actually there is another place. It's not as well known, but it has an art, fashion, and music department. It's the university of this school." Yuhi took out a pamphlet from the corner of the room.

'Artista' That's a nice play on words with the word artist. This is the place Yuhi wants to go to?

"I think this would be a better place for you too. I've gone to Tokyo University several times as a guest. The atmosphere there can be stifling. While most art Universities don't cut first year students any slack. This is still the better option."

"Then, I'll try for this place too."

Yuhi leaned down and kissed her lightly.

"S-stop doing that."

"No can do."

He looks so cheerful, she feels stupid getting all worked up whenever he kisses her. Sumire turned to her drawing again. 'It'll end up as an oil painting again, but as for the colours I can experiment more since the scale is larger.'

She stood up. "I'm just going to the supply room."

Iro road is very generous with their lending of art supplies. There is an entire room filled with different paints/equipment.

'Yuhi is very skilled. I thought I already knew that, but seeing the difference between us again upsets me.' She has to hurry up and catch up with him.

It did not take long before she reached the room, and was going through the various colours on the shelves.

What sort of colours should she mix today?

That place was very beautiful. A place filled with different coloured flowers exactly like a rainbow.

In that place Yuhi-san and her-- Sumire felt her face colour and she slapped her cheeks. No, no don't think of anything weird. But it was hard for her not to think of it. The scenery of that day where she was laying down on the grass after tripping over. Yuhi-san on top of her.

'I wonder when I became such a simple person. Was she the type of person who would fall in love this quickly?'

Although she has loved Yuhi-san for the past five years. It felt like she was rushing.

Is it truly okay for them to be a couple? So much time has passed and it's not like she regrets accepting his hand that day. But occasionally she would have weird thoughts like today.

Yuhi-san is so skilled, and talented. He is friendly and has a lot of charisma that attracts people towards him. Unlike him she is so plain and boring.

Although she shouldn't take the words of those jealous girls at heart. It took all her willpower in the classroom to stop herself from saying something.

She almost downgraded herself in front of such vile people. Sumire exhaled deeply, old habits are certainly difficult to break. But there is no doubt that she is living a happier lifestyle now than she did before.

After her break up with Sano, no it was during her relationship with Sano where her life started to go wrong. A part of her already understood, she understood that she made the wrong choice. Sano was very good to her but she knew he was not a nice person.

'I saw with my own eyes how he treated other people.' But even then she turned a blind eye to it. It's fine as long as he is good to her. If Yuhi-san learned that she turned a blind eye to others suffering, would he finally give up on her?
