The Love of Two Continents
33

'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)

One by one they came forward with their partner. Masahiro was delighted that it seemed like his student could understand some of the Tanka and modern Japanese poetry.

It's time for Megumi's group with Taehyung. One of them had to read his essay and the other deciphered his point.

"Alright stay the last group." Masahiro said and invited Megumi and Taehyung.

"Koi wo sono hajimari..."

Taehyung's words came to a halt, not knowing what made him reluctant to continue. And the other friends whispered because Taehyung did not immediately continue.

"Masahiro sensei, sorry. I don't think I can be in a group with Megumi."

Taehyung said and made the classroom atmosphere more noisy. Taehyung then bailed to go to the restroom.

"Hey... Matte (wait).. Cotto matte (wait a minute)." Megumi ran after Taehyung.

"Don't you want a group with me for something?"

Ask Megumi with hasty breathing. Megumi's tiny legs certainly had to run to catch Taehyung's wide footsteps.

"Not really. I'm very bad at Masahiro sensei's lessons. So I thought I was just hitchhiking."

Taehyung replied, explaining to Megumi, then he walked back to leave Megumi.

"Ano... You're mad at me because I can't remember your name, right?"

Megumi half yelled.

Taehyung stopped his steps and turned his body towards Megumi.

"I'm sorry, you must be mad at me because I can't remember your name. It was indeed my weakness to not be able to remember the names of others except Rikako and Masahiro Sensi. But somehow I feel good every time I can talk to you."

The explanation from Megumi actually also made her feelings slightly improve. But he was still worried that his heart would get hurt again.

"Hey, Kim Taehyung. Let's go back again. Masahiro will give you punishment if you skip the lesson." Megumi said again.

"You remember my name?" Pekik Taehyung was surprised to hear Megumi calling her name.

"Iie desu (no). I knew your name when Masahiro Sensei called you. Sorry if I still can't remember your name for the next day."

Taehyung had already seen Megumi's teary eyes, this sight was really painful for Taehyung. She really likes Megumi.

"Then what do you want? You know that none of this has anything to do with."

Taehyung replied as if swallowing a bitter pill for him. Her smile, the way Megumi taught kanji, all of it obviously had something to do with Taehyung.

"Can we go back to class, we finish Masahiro sensei's lesson."

Megumi and Taehyung are in class. This time it was Megumi who read the poem while Taehyung who interpreted it.

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

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

When Megumi recited it the whole class was silent and watching. Because only her group Megumi makes poems about heartbreak. The other friends were average about making haiku and longing poems.

Now it was Taehyung's turn to explain the meaning. Megumi gave her book to Taehyung. How surprised Taehyung was when he saw Megumi's note.

It turns out that Megumi also wrote with the letters of the alphabet. As if knowing Taehyung's weakness, Megumi really did it for her.

"From the first meeting my eyes saw, I saw a beautiful smile. The first meeting was beautiful and I fell in love. But slowly I began to realize that sometimes falling in love is not always beautiful. There are times when the love I experience hurts and hurts my deepest heart. That's where I started to learn that love doesn't end beautifully. Until finally the separation was very painful.

When love experiences separation, it will also be painful if I remember the memories together. But what feels more slashing is not because it is remembered about the past. You'll feel the most pain if you can't remember it anymore. When you feel in love with someone but you also feel like you're forgetting something very precious."

Masahiro shed tears when he heard the meaning of the poem made by Megumi and Taehyung. Just like the expression of his heart. Not only was Masahiro crying but several other students also felt haru including Hiroaki and Rikako.

"It's so good." Praise Masahiro and applaud Megumi and Taehyung.

"I think soon my hours will be over, because my feelings are improving then I am lazy to give the task. Welcome to the meeting to come. Konnichiwa." Masahiro said goodbye and walked out of her classroom.

Taehyung gave Megumi a notebook. He felt helped because of the note given by Megumi.

"Arigatougozaimasu (mostly), you wrote it with the alphabet so it helped me a lot." Said Kim Taehyung and handed Megumi a notebook.

"Doitamemashite (same-same). Ano... I think we better just exchange notebooks. Because I heard from Masahiro you still have trouble reading and writing kanji." Say Megumi and pick up Taehyung's notebook.

Taehyung was confused, but after seeing Megumi's neat handwriting Taehyung made it easier to understand.

"Well, thank you again." Taehyung directly entered his notebook.

"Hey Kim Taehyung let's go..." Shouted Junta invites Taehyung to lunch in the cafeteria.

"Good (good)."Taehyung reply to Junta.

"Jaa ne (bye)." Taehyung also said goodbye to Megumi because Megumi was still sitting next to Taehyung.

"Megumi chan, let's eat bento together."

Invite Rikako and Megumi to pick up the box and then approach Rikako to eat together. Megumi kept Taehyung's notebook in her bag, and the notebook contained Kim Taehyung's name. The reason Megumi exchanged notebooks in order to remember the name Kim Taehyung, because the next day Megumi will definitely forget.

"Wahhh looks so good." Megumi was very excited when Rikako opened her food supply.

"of course. Open your mouth." Said Rikako by taking a rolled egg and feeding it to Megumi.

"Oishi. (take)." Megumi said with her mouth full of food. He chews food quickly so he can take his friend's egg roll again.
