The Love of Two Continents
Pov Masahiro 29

Masahiro is currently in the third grade of High School. Various exams to enter the university he has gone through but has not yet found which university Masahiro will enter.

"Masahiro....!"

Megumi's loud voice was already heard in Masahiro's ears and from a distance Megumi also waved at him.

Since the friendship, Megumi always pick up Masahiro at school.

"Have you waited long? " Tanya Masahiro after the distance was already close to Megumi.

"No...

Masahiro kun I got a perfect score when drawing."

Megumi shows her picture book, she draws a view of Mount Fuji and several temples. What an amazing view and a very good picture for the age of Megumi.

"Woow, Sugoi. (so cool). Megumi Chan is very talented in drawing."

Masahiro praised Megumi's portrayal and was greatly amazed. He alone could not create such a perfect picture.

"A good picture. Higashide, is he your sister? "

Ask someone a classmate of Masahiro's. He had just passed by and also saw a picture of Megumi being carried by Masahiro.

"He's my friend." Masahiro answered and confirmed the position of his glasses. Just this time there was a person his age who called him and asked him to speak.

"Oniichan, I'm friends with Masahiro kun. Is Oniichan also his friend because the uniform you wear is the same.

Masahiro kun told me that in High School there are many friends. "

Megumi spoke to a man who praised her image.

"HUH... Higashide befriended a child? You seem to like kids."

Said one of the female friends and mocked Masahiro.

Masahiro just looked down while Megumi just looked at him with her round eyes.

"Let's go Masahiro kun."

Megumi's small hand held Masahiro and smiled. He also invited Masahiro to leave his two friends.

At this time Masahiro somehow views Megumi as a grown-up girl. The little girl seemed to know how Masahiro felt who was embarrassed and hurt by the words of her female friend.

"Ano... I don't actually have any friends."

Masahiro releases Megumi's hand when she feels distant from her two friends. She is embarrassed to be caught lying to Megumi.

"I lied to you, because I didn't want you to assume High School was boring."

Masahiro said back, now he was embarrassed to look at Megumi's face.

Megumi only looked at Masahiro with her innocent gaze.

"Masahiro kun, we are friends."

The little words of the little girl made Masahiro's hurt feelings disappear instantly.

Masahiro just nodded then smiled at Megumi.

"Masahiro kun, be a strong adult. That way other people won't mock you." Megumi said once more as the two of them played swings.

"You're right, I'm too weak." Reply Masahiro and realize his shortcomings.

"No.. Masahiro kun is not weak. It's just that Masahiro I'm less willing to look ahead."

Megumi then got off her swing and pushed the swing Masahiro was riding on.

"Bless your head and look ahead. Everything's gonna be okay."

Megumi said once more and pushed the swing Masahiro was riding on.

Although it was a bit scared, but Masahiro could finally feel how exciting it was to swing his swing high.

''What the little girl said was indeed true, if looking down was scary. But looking ahead is so much fun."

After that incident Masahiro gained one strength to step forward. He decided to enter Tohoku University and majored in literature. Although his father was a doctor, he did not impose his son's wishes.

"Jaa... I'll be back in four years." Masahiro says goodbye to Megumi just as she picks Megumi up at the temple. At that time Megumi was also with a girl friend her age, Rikako.

"Masahiro kun why don't you go to college here?"

Megumi's question actually made Masahiro also not want to part.

Masahiro rubbed Megumi's hair gently.

"All right, I'll be waiting for you. Masahiro I'll go and hurry back, I'll wait for you."

Megumi finally showed her smile. And waved as Masahiro left.

"Megumi, what were you holding?"

Ask Rikako Megumi's friend who saw the pink colored paper from earlier in her friend's hand.

"Love letter."

"AH, are you going to give it to the brother who just left?" Rikako asked in surprise.

"I think like that,"

"Then why don't you give it, now go after it. That brother must not be far." Rikako gave her spirit to her friend.

"No. Masahiro kun will definitely have many friends and loved ones there. If I give you my love letter, it's the same as his friend said. I don't want Masahiro to hate me. I still want to meet Masahiro kun and be together."

Megumi explains why she did not give Masahiro her letter.

"Give it to me, I'll get that brother back." Rikako then picks up Megumi's pink paper. He returned to the temple and changed the contents of his letter.

Letter from Megumi

' I like Masahiro '

Rikako changed it

' I miss Masahiro, come back '

After that Rikako attaches Megumi's letter to the hope line located east of the temple. That's what brought Masahiro back to his city. He always sees Megumi's hope hanging when visiting the temple.

(back to time)

"Good teachers don't smoke in school either. Because if your student sees you're the same as teaching him."

The voice of the little girl that Masahiro used to hear had now turned into a mature girl who grew strong. Masahiro put out his cigarette and threw it away.

"What are you doing here? " Tanya Masahiro to Megumi who was already nearby.

"I accidentally saw you talking to a South Korean. What are you guys talking about?"

Megumi asked as if she wanted to know what they were talking about.

"You must be proud of him, for winning the classroom garden. Omedeto (congratulations)." Say Megumi once again and congratulate Masahiro. He then walked out of the roof.

"What do you think of that South Korean guy."

Masahiro's question made Megumi stop and turn towards Masahiro.

"Eitherway. Even though I'm sitting in front of him, I don't think the two of us are so familiar." Megumi answered casually and according to how she felt.

"really? "

Masahiro was not so surprised by Megumi's reply. It was just that he felt that Taehyung who heard would definitely feel sad.

"But lately I've been talking to her quite a lot. That South Korean guy told me to draw. I also don't understand, even though I don't have any hobbies. But the guy said that I draw a lot."

Hearing the words from Megumi, Masahiro simply rubbed her hair gently.

"Communicate with him. Oh yeah, he has a name too."

"What's her name? " Tanya Megumi's.

"You better ask yourself.

Come back, you could get the flu if you stay outside for too long."

Masahiro said and walked ahead of Megumi.
