The Love of Two Continents
32

The next day the same day.

Taehyung felt sleepy because he slept very late last night. He waits for Haruka but is unsuccessful in meeting her.

"Ohayougozaimasu (good morning)." Greet the Junta and immediately sit in front of Taehyung.

"Good morning. " Taehyung answered with a sleepy face.

"Hey, why do you look so uninspired at all? What winter makes you sleepy."

Junta jokes and laughs at Taehyung because of his friend's messy hair.

"Eitherway. I slept too late."

Taehyung answered Junta's question while yawning because last night did not sleep too late thinking about Megumi.

"This is a bench."

Megumi's new speech came after a few minutes of Junta sitting on his stool.

"Ohayou (good morning) Saibara..." Greet Junta and go from Megumi's seat.

"Ohayou (good morning). " Reply Megumi and start sitting on her stool.

While Taehyung just silently looked at Megumi who had just sat down.

"Good morning." Greet Megumi to Taehyung and smile sweetly as usual.

"Morning." Taehyung replied briefly then leaned back his head.

'Megumi chan, do you still remember me? Do you remember my name I just told you last night? I also want to tell you if the flowers we planted at that time have withered and died. But I did manage to find the bud, did the bud grow into a new flower? Is there any hope of being with you back?'

Taehyung looks back at Megumi even though he only has his back. For some reason Megumi suddenly turned to him and smiled at him again. It was as if Megumi could hear his heart.

"Your hair looks messy. But you still look handsome." Praise Megumi.

The words made Taehyung remember something. Megumi used to draw anime characters with long, messy hair. Because Taehyung is very interested in Megumi, he accidentally tidied his hair when he left school.

"Ano... Do you know...."

Taehyung's words were cut short because Masahiro sensei had already come and started his lesson.

my name Taehyung continued in his heart.

Masahiro explains the haiku poem back. This time he discussed the work of Katayama Kiyoshi which contains 5 -7 - a

"Shizukasa yes, yes,

hanasaki niwa no,

haru no ame

(What sunyinya, flowering yard, spring rain)"

Masahiro reads Katayama Kiyoshi's haiku. Just now Masahiro explained the meaning but he saw Taehyung who was daydreaming and looking at the window.

"Kim Taehyung, the semester exams are getting closer you shouldn't relax like that."

Tegur Masahiro and hit his book on Taehyung's head.

"Gomennassai (sorry). I'll focus on learning more." Taehyung apologized to his teacher.

"Well then, read Katayama Kiyoshi's haiku so you can refocus."

Masahiro gave the order to his disciple and Taehyung nodded.

"Father sunyinya

Flowering pages

It's spring rain."

Taehyung began to read it and slowly he also began to be able to read kanji if used to it.

"Give me meaning and explanation." Masahiro's orders once again.

Taehyung paused for a moment to think about what the meaning of the haiku meant. Why should he explain, Taehyung is not from Japan of course very difficult to understand.

"Kim Taehyung." Call Masahiro.

"Sorry, I don't understand at all."

Taehyung answered and made the whole class laugh at him.

Masahiro said and returned to his lesson. Actually he did not mean to humiliate Taehyung, Masahiro just wanted all his students to focus and pay attention to his lessons.

"Just like always, you will all get the task of deciphering haiku from several figures. Ten minutes to explain ahead."

"Kim Taehyung can you read Kanji?" Masahiro asks Taehyung, considering Taehyung is a transfer student from South Korea.

"A little bit." Answer Taehyung.

"Alright, you'll do it with Saibara chan. Although it's not a group assignment, you can ask Saibara to read and write the Kanji."

Masahiro provides a solution for Taehyung, and indeed Megumi is also the best student in her class.

"Why should it be with Saibara?" Hiroki protested and stood up from his seat.

"Because their seats are close together. This is not a group task either. All right, finish your job in fifteen minutes."

Masahiro answered questions from Hiroaki despite trying to protest.

"Who did you get my haiku assignment from?" Ask Megumi and turn her seat facing back.

"Masaoka shiki."

"Well, I'll read it.

Furusato ha, uh,

itoko no Ooshi,

momo no hana

(In my city, children are happy, flowers are blooming)"

Megumi read out my haiku slowly so Taehyung could understand and repeat it. With the way of learning that Megumi gives of course makes it easy to understand. And again Taehyung again get a reason to like Megumi.

"Hey, if you want to decipher my haiku correctly, try to be that poet. " Megumi gave directions to Taehyung.

"Driver?" Taehyung asked with his eyebrows raised, he did not understand the meaning at all.

"Try to be Masaoka Shiki. Because haiku is created from the bottom of the heart. And it could be an expression of his heart." Jawa Megumi then resumed her duties.

Taehyung also did not want to linger. He also began to do his job. Fifteen minutes have passed. In accordance with Masahiro's orders all students explained ahead.

Megumi wrote down the meaning of the haiku she got, of course everyone was amazed. Because Megumi is very good at literature. Masahiro gave the second task. This time everything has to make Tanka either about romance or longing.

This task consists of two people, but Taehyung still has to pair with Megumi because her vocabulary is still not perfect.

"What are you gonna do?" Megumi asked as if discussing with Taehyung.

"Just leave it to you. You're the best." Taehyung replied because Megumi is very master of things that smell of literature.

"Well, how about we both make. If you have trouble telling me I'll help." Megumi gives a solution and Taehyung accepts.

'Kimi o o oomoeba, kono mune ga itai ni natta'

(If I think of you, this chest hurts)

Taehyung gave me his writing book. He had no idea what made Tanka. Stupid time with Tanka or Haiku. Everyone Taehyung doesn't understand.

"Eh, why? You're like making a poem about heartbreak."

Megumi commented after reading Taehyung's poem.

"That's all that crossed my mind. We'll just wear it from you."

Taehyung immediately picked up his book and leaned his head on the bench because he was out of mind.

'Koi wa sono hajimari ga itsumo utsukushi sugiru. Ketsumatsu ga kesshite yokunai nomo murikaranu.

Dakara kimi o oomoeba, kono mune ga itai ni natta'

(The beginning of the love story is always very beautiful. No need to be surprised if the ending ends badly.

Because when I think of you, this chest hurts)

Megumi gives Taehyung her textbook. He combined the words of Taehyung and his.

While Taehyung was surprised and read the heartfelt work made by Megumi.
