The Love of Two Continents
35

"Taehyung let's go home together."

.

.

Yuri was already in front of the classroom door and called Taehyung.

"Hum all right." Taehyung replied and immediately tidied up the book.

Megumi who heard Taehyung's name called someone immediately looked back. It turned out to be a girl he saw in the corridor who called Taehyung and took him home.

Megumi held onto her chest somehow seeing Taehyung's togetherness with others was painful for her.

.

.

'Why does it hurt, aren't we just classmates? I think we're both not very familiar.' Inner Megumi.

.

.

"Egot, let's go home." Take Rikako later. Rikako also sees Taehyung going with women from other classes.

"Good (yes)."

"Did something happen to you?" Ask Rikako who knows if Megumi is also paying attention to Taehyung.

"Iie desu (no), I'm fine." Answer Megumi and force a smile on her best friend.

Previously, Rikako invited Megumi to eat ramen in her usual place. Because it's been a long time since Rikako didn't eat ramen after an upset stomach a week ago.

"Hummm Oishi (fine)." Rikako said while inhaling the aroma of ramen that had just been served.

"All right, let's eat. Itadakimasu (good meal)" Megumi smiled and took one mouthful.

"Oishi, oishi, oishi."

Said Rikako who was next to him noisily. While Megumi just laughed a little at the behavior of her best friend.

"Eat slowly so that your stomach doesn't hurt anymore." Megumi tries to remind Rikako of her best friend, because Rikako has an upset stomach because she hastily eats ramen.

"of course.... I'll enjoy every mouthful."Rikako replied casually and they both enjoyed the ramen available.

"Rikako Chan, may I ask you a question?" Megumi asked after her ramen had run out.

"Tell me."

"The disciple of the man sitting behind me, do you know him well?" Megumi asked, she deliberately did not mention Taehyung's name.

"Oh you mean Kim Taehyung." Rikako was a little surprised and put down her two chopsticks. Rikako recalled that she used to say something that might hurt taehyung.

"Taehyung and I used to be friends, as well as Hiroaki and you." Answer Rikako again.

"Washi? (me)" said Megumi in astonishment, because Megumi did not remember him if he had been friends.

"really. It's just that I once said something to Kim Taehyung that might get him hurt. Therefore, Taehyung may be keeping a little distance from me, as well as Hiroaki."

Rikako was a little sorry for remembering what she had done to Taehyung. During this time Rikako does not know about the disturbance suffered by Megumi so Rikako considers Taehyung and Megumi to stay away only because of Rikako's words to Taehyung.

Hiroaki also did not tell Rikako because of the wishes of Megumi who was conveyed to Masahiro. The reason Megumi still survives in this city is indeed because of Rikako, although she is often bullied by Haruka but Megumi always refuses if she has to move.

"What did you say to Tae Hyung." Ask Megumi who wants to know.

"Hemm is nothing, it has nothing to do with you. It's just my problem with Taehyung."

Reply Rikako who deliberately lied to Megumi. Because it is impossible for Rikako to say that Hiroaki likes Megumi.

"Rikako Chan, if you feel hurt her feelings you better apologize to her." Megumi gives advice to Rikako because she sees the look on her friend's anxious face.

"Where could... I mean you know me and Taehyung never said hello. So how could I possibly talk to him."

"Try, how do you know the results if you don't try."

"All right, I'll try." Reply Rikako and Megumi smiled at him.

...****************...

Taehyung and Yuri said simultaneously. Yuri immediately gave a small birthday cake to Junta, and Taehyung put a birthday hat on the Junta's head.

"Waahhh Thank you very much. I didn't expect to get any surprises from you guys."The junta was moved by the surprise provided by Taehyung and Yuri.

"I'm sorry if the party isn't great." Taehyung said to Junta.

"No problem, this is enough for me. Thank you very much Kim Taehyung. But how do you know if today is my year?" Ask Junta then.

"Yuri Chan told me, and Yuri also planned everything."

"Yuri chan's..... Thank you so much, you're so kind." The junta immediately approached Yuri who was cutting the cake and tried to hug her.

"Matte (wait) what are you going to do." Said Yuri who could not escape from Junta's embrace.

Taehyung just laughed loudly because he saw the behavior of his two friends.

"Sumimasen (excuse me), orders for table number five can be checked back." Say Waiters gently and serve some of the food that has been ordered.

"Haruka......" Call Taehyung who recognizes the waiters in front of him. Her soft voice had also become the hallmark of Haruka.

"You again." Screeched Haruka and passed away after the order mangantar.

"Cotto matte (wait a minute) Haruka..." Taehyung chased after Haruka and ignored Junta and Yuri.

"I'm busy working, you better not bother me." Haruka warned Taehyung. Because Taehyung will definitely talk about Megumi.

"Well, I won't bother you. What time did you finish work?" Taehyung asked who was still trailing Haruka from behind.

"Two hours." Haruka answered briefly and wiped the dirty table.

"Alright, I'll wait for you Haruka."

"As far as you go." Haruka muttered that did not care about Taehyung's presence.

Taehyung returns to his friends' place, he has promised not to disturb Haruka. After all, today is the birthday of his friend Junta, Taehyung does not want to interfere in Megumi's affairs with Junta

"Do you know that lady's maid?" Ask Junta who seems to want to know.

"Hum.."

"It looks like you're pretty famous. All right, let's eat together. Itadakimasu (good meal)."

Take the Junta and directly put the piece of steak meat into his mouth. Yuri was still curious about Taehyung's relationship with the servant girl, but she tried not to bring out her curiosity.

In accordance with his promise Taehyung will wait for Haruka to finish work. He let his two friends go home first.

"Well Taehyung thank you for today, I went home first Jaa ne (see you)."

Say Junta and pat Taehyung on the shoulder.

"I also went home first. Mata ashita ne (see you tomorrow)." Yuri also said goodbye and went home with the Junta.

"Eye ashita ne (see you tomorrow). Bye-bye." Taehyung replied and waved his hand for both hands.

Taehyung waits outside the cafe so as not to interfere with Haruka's work. But his eyes kept watching the cafe door just in case Haruka went to avoid it.

"Haruka...." Call Taehyung when he sees Haruka coming out of the cafe and no longer wearing her work uniform. Taehtung had been waiting for more than two hours.

"You're really waiting for me."

Haruka said coldly and walked away from the cafe. Taehyung swiftly followed Haruka from behind.

"I say once again, if you meet me to discuss Saibara I don't have time." Haruka said once more.

"Wait, are you going home?" Ask Taehyung.

"That time the bakery owner said you were still in school, where was your school?"

Haruka stopped her footsteps from being surprised by what Taehyung said.

"I'm not in school anymore. Hey go away I still have to work again." Haruka replied with a cold look.

"Matte matte (wait). The bakery owner said you were my age." Prevent Taehyung from Haruka.
