I do not own La Corda d'Oro.

Contrary to popular belief, Azuma Yunoki isn't the sweet, kind and finely-tuned aristocrat he appears to be. There's a certain Hino Kahoko who had been painfully educated on the other half of Yunoki Azuma and said half could scare the bajesus out of any human being. Of course, Yunoki Azuma's other half was just a part of a teenage boy that knew only the dictionary definition of the word 'freedom' and longed for it. The gentleman side for him was a lie; a mask; a front he put up to uphold his family name.

There was something special about Kahoko that he just couldn't put his finger on. She wasn't the prettiest girl he had ever seen or the smartest and he had definitely seen several violinists who were a lot more talented than she was. And it wasn't just him who liked her - he could tell Hihara liked her too, from the glazed-over expression and the drooling whenever he thought of her. Tsukimori and Tsuchiura liked her as well, in a way that couldn't be considered friendship. Shimizu was the only one who wasn't affected at all by Hino.

To win you needed to attack. Yunoki lived by that. He enjoyed toying with Kahoko, getting her to pay attention to him. To make her his. She wasn't like any of the other girls who would fall at his feet if he flashed so much as a smile at them. She seemed scared of him.

So, Yunoki Azuma did everything in his power to please Hino Kahoko and win her heart. He took her out on dates after much persuasion and a little blackmailing. He presented her with several bouquets of white lillies and sweetheart roses - just like the kind used in weddings. He could tell she loved Azaleas the most, and switched from buying her roses and lillies to azaleas.

Azaleas symbolised first love, romance and fragile passion. Just what Kahoko's feelings for him were probably.

In the end, all it took to win Kahoko's heart was a simple 'I really like you'. Not that anything could be simple in the extravagant Yunoki Azuma's world, but considering no diamond necklaces or ruby earrings were brought made it simple.

Hino Kahoko was more than just a girlfriend or his passion. Hino Kahoko was an addiction. And Azuma Yunoki was high off her and enjoying every minute of it.
