The Love of Two Continents
41

"Friends?" Hiroaki repeated Junta's words in a mocking tone.

"You'll understand later if the person you call a friend suddenly betrays you." Hiroaki said before the Junta with a bitter smile.

Taehyung just kept my eyes still. Sure enough Hiroaki still felt that he was betraying her. Taehyung also still feels guilty for Hiroaki for liking the same person.

.

.

" I like Saibara Megumi, I deliberately entered this High School because I want to be with Megumi. Although Megumi often forgets my name, but I always remind her. She is a maniacal girl with an anime character."

Hiroaki replied when he met Taehyung on the basketball court. At that time Taehyung and Hiroaki were still close friends, Hiroaki always searched and worried about Taehyung whenever Taehyung was not in class. But now everything has changed, probably because of Taehyung's selfishness.

.

.

But Taehyung also thinks once again, whether liking Megumi is his fault. Taehyung meets Megumi in the park next to the hospital for the first time. Since then Taehyung has started to feel for Megumi.

"Have it stopped." Taehyung tried decisively. He also did not want Junta to know about his problems with Hiroaki.

"There's more important things I have to do right now, than play your basketball. Junta let's go." Taehyung said courageously to speak like that in front of Hiroaki.

Then Taehyung went home with Junta, before Junta invited him to eat ramen. But Taehyung invites Junta to eat at the cafe where Haruka works.

"You still don't want to tell me?" Ask the Junta who wants to discuss the dispute between Taehyung and Hiroaki.

Taehyung was silent for a moment, he still did not fully believe in others. In the past when Hiroaki first asked him to talk Taehtung was very happy, he always thought that he would be good friends with Hiroaki. Taehyung also always meets Hiroaki in front of the school gate.

.

.

"Ohayougozaimasu (good morning) Kim Taehyung."

Every morning, Hiroaki always greeted him. Hiroaki also helped her. Taehyung sees Haruka bulldozing Megumi at night. When Taehyung worries about Megumi, he falls and bleeds his knee. It was Hiroaki who invited Taehyung to go to the school health room and treat his injuries.

"Look at your knees hurting, your clothes are dirty. Did you fall?" Hiroaki asked while Taehyung only looked at Megumi.

"Come with me, let me treat your wounds."

"Let's hurry. " Hiroaki dragged Taehyung to obey him. He gave up when he was dragged by his friend.

.

.

But it all felt lost just like that from Taehyung. When Megumi forgets everything, that's when Taehyung loses his first friend.

"There's just a little misunderstanding between me and Hiroaki." Taehyung chose to stir his machine instead of having to discuss Hiroaki. Although Hiroaki has changed but Hiroaki is still Taehyung's first friend.

"Then why don't you try to solve it?"

"Just be free." Taehyung replied with origin.

Taehyung saw that the man in front of her also cared deeply for her. But somehow he still did not dare to open up to trust the Junta more. The dispute between him and Hiroaki does not want Taehyung to experience Junta.

"yes too. Hiroaki is so selfish that everyone even has to side with him. I also feel sorry for Masahiro sensei." Junta said and drank his warm chocolate.

"What happened to Masahiro Sensei?"

"Oh yeah you don't know. Masahiro is Hiroaki's older brother. But Masahiro's been out of his house because of a problem I don't really understand. Until now their brotherly relationship is stretched." The Junta replied explaining what Taehyung asked.

"Hum, not many know that Masahiro sensei and Hiroaki are brothers. Because Masahiro sensei changed his surname." Reply to the Junta once more.

Taehyung had indeed heard that Masahiro preferred to be called by his first name only. And when introducing the name, Masahiro always mention his first name only from the full name. But Taehyung didn't think that? Masahiro and Hiroaki are brothers.

"Haruka..." Taehyung calls Haruka when he sees her cleaning the table. He immediately approached Haruka.

"You again. I'm busy working." Haruka replied briefly as usual.

"I know, I just want to see you and make sure you're okay." Taehyung said and felt cool if the girl in front of him could move again.

"Why indeed?"

" It's nothing." Taehyung scratched his non-itchy head.

"After work last night, my body ached all over. Even now my back still hurts. Thank goodness you're okay."

Taehyung said a little nervously. Because Haruka's behavior now and last night was very different. Haruka who now looks cold as usual.

"You just haven't gotten used to it. Go and rest if you're tired." Haruka replied and went to the employee's room with some dirty dishes.

Taehyung returns to eat with Junta. It is true that Haruka said, that yesterday was the first time Taehyung was working on a part-time job.

"Who's the girl? I also saw him at my birthday celebration." Junta asked when his friend returned.

"The waiter at this cafe." Taehyung answered and started eating his yakisoba.

"Did you like that kind of girl? Mature girl."

The question from the Junta made Taehyung choke, quickly the Junta gave mineral water to Taehyung.

"Of course not, that girl is just my friend." Taehyung replied after drinking water.

"Look easy, just kidding." Junta chuckled at Taehyung's expression. He also accidentally made his friend choke.

"I like someone too. We've had one class before." Junta said and smiled.

"Dare off? (who)." Taehyung asked casually and continued eating Yakisoba back.

"I like Tahara Yuri.."

"It's been since Junior High that I like it, but I don't dare to express my feelings. I'm afraid of being rejected." Reply Junta with a smile of his own.

Taehyung was surprised to hear the words from Junta. Because Yuri had also expressed her love for Taehyung but she refused.

Taehyung also remembers her relationship with Hiroaki starting to stretch due to love issues and they both like the same person. This time Taehyung was confused as to what to do. Should Taehyung tell the Junta the truth. Or keep it hidden, if Yuri confesses her feelings to him.

"Of course I'll interfere because Taehyung is my friend." Answer the Junta and be ready to divorce in case of a dispute.

"Friends?" Hiroaki repeated Junta's words in a mocking tone.

"You'll understand later if the person you call a friend suddenly betrays you."

Taehyung suddenly also recalled the dispute with Hiroaki again. Junta said he was his friend. And Taehyung did too, he didn't want Junta to leave him. Taehyung also did not want to betray Junta.

"Ano... I'm the one I want to tell you." Taehyung said, Taehyung should say it even though he was afraid.

"What's? Just say it."

"But promise me you won't be mad." Taehyung was nervous about being confused about where to say it from.

"Tell me, what am I angry for anyway." Junta once again said, he also rubbed his mouth to clean up the leftovers.
