The Love of Two Continents
38

Gomenne... Hey, I forgot what your name is?" Haruka asked Taehyung's name, when he had said it.

"Kim Taehyung." Taehyung replied with a smile.

"Kim Taehyung's? Ah yeah.. I just remember if you weren't from Japan. Kim Taehyung is hard to say." Haruka Muttered.

"But you can remember that, right?"

Ask Taehyung. She still thinks of Megumi who always forgets her name. At that time Taehyung did not know the condition Megumi, so just assume if the name is very difficult for the Japanese tongue.

"Of course, even if you're not from Japan and your name is quite difficult to pronounce. Okay, don't talk too much. There's still a lot to do and tomorrow I have to go back to the cafe."

Haruka gives a freshly taken broom to Taehyung. And the two of them started to go to the park together.

"Let me sweep over here, there's a flower I just planted."

Taehyung immediately approached Haruka when he saw her plucking the grass.

"What flowers are you planting?"

Haruka's question seemed difficult for Taehyung to answer. Because the one who found this flower is Megumi and he just takes care of it.

.

.

" What kind of flowers did you plant?" Taehyung asked Megumi who was sprinkling fertilizer on her flowers.

"Let's go, I found him on the brink. The flower color is yellow and very pretty, but rather purplish." Megumi replied to Taehyung and carved a beautiful smile on her face.

.

.

.

.

"Let's go, I planted it with someone. And I've never seen it bloom." Answer Taehyung.

"Ohhh, it will take a long time to see it because it is still growing shoots."

"Right and I'm still waiting for him." Taehyung and Haruka replied that they had gone south to wash away the dried leaves that had fallen.

.

.

'I'm still waiting for her, waiting for Megumi to remember me. Although it took a long time, but I'm sure there are still feelings left in his heart.'

Inner Taehyung by looking at the plants that are still growing shoots.

After two hours of finishing his work, Haruka was finally able to go home and rest. Of course because of Taehyung's help, Haruka always went home at three in the morning.

"Haruka, I'm sorry I couldn't take you home" said Taehyung, who was drinking water.

"No problem, I thank you for helping me. You know my house." Haruka is surprised if Taehyung finds out about his house.

"Humm, I got your home address from the bakery owner. A few days ago I went to your house but you weren't home."

"Gomenne (sorry), I'm rarely home."

"I know. Haruka see you, be careful on the way."

Taehyung waved to Haruka because of the opposite direction of her house. While Haruka just smiled faintly and left.

Taehyung sneaked into the house, because he came home too late and did not listen to his mother's orders.

"Mom will tell you to come home not too late." His mother's voice rang out and turned on the living room lights.

"Eoma (mother). I'm sorry, next time I won't repeat."

"Go to the room and go to bed. I don't want you to be late for school tomorrow." His mother warned Taehyung.

"Good wakatta (yes, okay)."

Taehyung was relieved that his mother did not scold him. He finally went to his room and slept. Today feels tiring for Taehyung, but it's okay he has slowly known the figure of Haruka. And slowly Taehyung can definitely tell Haruka not to hurt Megumi. For the reason Haruka hates Megumi because Haruka's life changes drastically and wants her teenage years to be normal.

By looking at the painting made by Megumi, slowly his drowsiness came until Taehyung closed his eyes and fell asleep.

----------

The next morning Taehyung woke up to the sound of his mother and knocked on the door of his room.

"Taehyungdo...... Stang..... Taehyung......" Taehyung's mother woke him up by shaking his son's body.

"Eomma let me sleep another ten minutes." Taehyung said and was still lazy to open his eyes.

"It's eight o'clock you're late for school now." Her mother's dance once again.

Taehyung opened his eyes and was aghast from his bed.

"Why don't you wake me up." Taehyung.

"From now on, I woke you up. Get ready, you must leave school even if it's too late."

Taehyung's mother continued to nag her son, dragging Taehyung into the bathroom.

Taehyung immediately ran to school, washing his face and having breakfast with bread because his mother stuffed it into his mouth. His hair still looks random because he did not have time to comb it, he had missed an hour in the first lesson.

Taehyung immediately entered the classroom without permission, he did not know if there was still a teacher who was explaining.

"Ehhh Gomennassai (sorry )." Taehyung said and lowered his head.

"Next time don't stay up too late. Sit down and open your textbook."

Fortunately, because it was an English lesson and Arumi sensei taught patiently. Junta laughed at Taehyung slowly from his seat.

"Yoo I thought you skipped school today."

After the break Junta immediately approached Taehyung and hit his friend's head for continuing to sleep.

"Ahhh itai (sick), if only my mother hadn't woken me I would have missed going to school." Taehyung replied and yawned wide.

"What's going on?"

"I'm so tired, last night I swept through the city park. My back still hurts today."

Taehyung flailed his back, and Junta watched him.

"Yes, you're a perfect masseuse." Praise Taehyung with a joke.

"Bas stupid." Umapat Junta and hit Taehyung's back hard.

"Aahhhh sick.." Taehyung's moaning was in pain.

"I'm going to the cafeteria are you coming?" Junta asked and Taehyung just shook. He returned to continue his sleep because he was still sleepy.

Just doing a day's work Taehyung's body feels tired all. Taehyung thought about Haruka how he could stick with the part-time job he took. Without a second thought Taehyung took advantage of his free time to sleep again.

Taehyung woke up because there was someone in his head.

"Sorry I accidentally woke you up, Kim Tae Hyung..." Megumi panicked as Taehyung opened her eyes.

"There's a pen with your hair tangled."

Megumi shows the pen she took in Taehyung's hair. While Taehyung just throw his breath rough because it is definitely the behavior of his friend Junta. Taehyung was also surprised that Megumi called her name.

"You said my name?" Taehyung asked and smiled looking at Megumi.

"Hum... I'm trying to remember your name." Answer Megumi with a nod.

Taehyung felt very happy because the person he liked could remember his name. But he still hopes that Megumi can remember about him, and both of them smile.

"Oh yeah, I followed your advice to draw flowers." Megumi shows her drawing paper to Taehyung. He drew a very nice pink peony.
