The Love of Two Continents
23

Taehyung has managed to find someone named Haruka. He remembers what the doctor and Masahiro said if Haruka had caused Megumi to go through a deep trauma.

"Matte (wait). There's something I want to say." Taehyung tries to prevent the girl from leaving. He immediately clasped his wrist.

"Where do you know my name? You've been following me all this time."

Haruka looks very scared when Taehyung calls her name.

Slowly Taehyung releases Haruka's wrist at the sight of the girl's frightened face. Taehyung's intention was to ask questions not to hurt someone.

"Sorry to scare you."

"I've never followed you, it's just something I want to ask" Taehyung said without further ado. He did not want to be suspected like a criminal by the girl he did not know.

Haruka then sat down on the bench, maybe he had a little faith in Taehyung's explanation.

"Nani? (what)." Haruka asked with a voice that was indeed soft from there. Although Haruka's appearance looked seedy like a street child, but her voice was very soft and her skin was pale white probably due to being unkempt.

Taehyung slowly sat down beside Haruka. Haruka's long hair covered her face so Taehyung had trouble seeing Haruka's face.

"You know Megumi Saibara?"

The question from Taehyung left Haruka's eyes wide open. The woman in question is the daughter of someone who had made her father die and her life a mess.

"Saibara is the son of a murderer."

Haruka replied, he immediately grasped the P3k box that had been held.

"I'm sorry if I startled you. Why do you always call her the daughter of a murderer? " ask Taehyung carefully.

"Saibara san (mister saibara or his father Megumi) killed my father."

Haruka replied, shouting a little and then looking at Taehyung.

Haruka's face was already deeply involved, and her eyes were already teary soon she would definitely cry. Taehyung honestly has a very soft heart, he always does not have the heart to see a woman cry. Seeing Haruka's very sad face and eyes that were about to cry made Taehyung feel guilty.

Haruka then stood up and left in front of Taehyung. He passed through the railway crossing when Taehyung wanted to catch up to him the crossbar began to cover the road and the train began to pass. Taehyung completely lost track of Haruka, he had no idea where Haruka was going. Finally Taehyung decided to go home.

...----------------...

Taehyung headed for the teacher's room, the crazy task given by Masahiro was finally finished as well.

"The crazy job you gave me."

Taehyung said as if protesting against his homeroom teacher who teaches Japanese literature.

Masahiro who was already in his room only laughed a little because it managed to make Taehyung a deterrent.

"Good boy, next time you don't take my class on purpose, it'll be even crazier what you're doing." Masahiro answered and smiled to signify his victory.

As Taehyung was about to leave the teacher's room, his mind was reminded of Haruka. And he knew that Masahiro knew all the problems.

"What's more, go let me check your duties" said Masahiro as if to expel Taehyung's whereabouts.

"Masahiro Sensei there's something I want to ask about Megumi" Taehyung said at the end.

"What?"

Hearing Taehyung's words made Masahiro surprised. Finally Masahiro invited Taehyung to talk.

"Follow me now, we'll just talk outside."

"Hey (yes). " Taehyung replied to his teacher's invitation.

Taehyung followed his teacher from behind, somehow it seemed like this conversation seemed serious. He walked behind Masahiro until he was finally on the roof of the school. Cold air started to puncture in his bones even though Taehyung was already wearing a thick jacket. Why did Masahiro ask him to speak here, that was what Taehyung had in mind.

"Where did you see it?

I mean, where will Megumi be attacked." Masahiro asked seriously.

"At the train crossing, not far from my house. Masahiro sensei, back then I had a chance to hear your conversation with a doctor named Haruka. What does this have to do with Haruka? " without hesitation Taehyung Langsug asked at the core.

Masahiro then took a cigarette in his pants pocket. He picked up one stick and sucked it. Maybe because the air is too cold, so smoking cigarettes makes it feel warm.

"Actually this is all a misunderstanding. Did you know that Saibara Chan's father was a doctor? "

"Haik (iya)." said Taehyung assented the words of his teacher, and he also wanted to hear the continuation.

"At that time there was a patient with severe injuries, Saibara san (his father Megumi) who was on duty to help him. But the patient's life was not helped and died in the hospital. It was the first time Saibara had been appointed as a full-time doctor after years as an intern. The patient who died was Haruka's father." Masahiro explained everything to Taehyung.

Taenyung was curious about the cigarette smoked by his teacher. Is it true that cigarettes can make it warm, because the air is getting colder. Slowly he picked up one stick and lit a fire.

"Hey what are you doing." With a sharp gaze Masahiro prevented Taehyung. But too late, Taehyung had already taken one cigarette and smoked it.

"HOEK... UHUK.... UHUK"

"It doesn't feel good HUEK" Taehyung coughed while trying to smoke Masahiro's cigarette.

Seeing the behavior of his student Masahiro just laughed. He was about to ban Taehyung but karma had already directly returned him.

"In addition to what you're doing, a student like you can't smoke. I will punish my students who smoke." Said Masahiro who was still laughing out loud.

"I don't want to suck it anymore either. I was just curious, my dad once smoked a cigarette and said to warm up. But it felt really bad and made me cough, that was also why Masahiro was talking here. I know the air is getting colder." Taehyung spoke long enough as if protesting his teacher.

Masahiro slowly stopped his laughter and kept his cigarette in his pants pocket. He also fell asleep because he put his cigarette on the balcony so it would not be wrong if Taehyung took it.

"Gomenne, I think it's only here that's safe to talk about something." Answer Masahiro.

"Then why does someone named Haruka always attack him?" ask Taehyung once again.

"Maybe it's because Haruka still doesn't accept the death of her father. And that misunderstanding made him want to repay Saibara san through his son. If only I could talk to Haruka, I'd like to make sure it wasn't Megumi's fault. And Haruka doesn't have to do it to Megumi."

Taehyung was still speechless hearing the explanation from his teacher, he finally understood the problem. Taehyung once heard someone say son of a murderer. At that moment, Megumi panicked and told her to leave.

"Kim Taehyung I think that's all I can explain, just leave in a minute the class starts. I don't want you to skip any lessons. " Masahiro told Taehyung to leave while he still wanted to finish his cigarette.

"Hey (yes). " Taehyung complied and felt that there were enough explanations he had heard.

"Taehyung... ! Is your relationship with Megumi okay." Masahiro asked to make sure she remembered the moment Megumi suddenly forgot Taehyung. And at that time he thought they were already dating, because Masahiro heard Taehyung expressing his feelings.

"The two of us were like someone who had never met. Everything we've been through, Megumi's forgotten, everything." Taehyung replied with a sting.
