The Love of Two Continents
6. Anohana (the flower)

...." The flowers I planted managed to grow well. It was like my feelings were slowly growing as time went on. Oye... Do you remember me.."

(Kim Taehyung)

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Come..." He also took Taehyung's hand and invited him to meet a little girl. Megumi's smile was warm to Taehyung.

Megumi invites Taehyung to play with the small children who are in the park. He said they were all his friends. They ran after each other and closed their eyes to guess each other's names.

"What if it's Onichan's turn" one of the children, Kouta, told Megumi. He gives a black scarf to close Megumi's eyes.

"alright... Get ready all of you." Megumi starts the game and everyone starts running away. Taehyung also enjoyed the game.

"May chan... You are Mei... " Guess Megumi when she managed to hold the little boy in front of her.

"Hey Onichan, you're the wrong guy I wasn't there. " May who was far behind Megumi said so.

Then Megumi turned around and looked for the voice figure that was behind her. Megumi's eyes were still tightly closed, her hands trying to feel her way to look for someone. Megumi approached Taehyung, but she deliberately did not dodge. Let Megumi find him even though Kouta warns her to hide soon.

A tall man and just quiet. Megumi still felt Taehyung's hair trying to recognize who the man in front of her was, because her eyes were still covered by cloth.

"Ta Tae's... " Megumi said Taehyung's name.

" Eventually..... You finally called my name. After all this time I waited for him. Megumi, can you remember the first time we met." Taehyung muttered inwardly while smiling happily. She is so happy that Megumi remembers her name.

"Yes....! You take care. " Speak Megumi half-screamed as she opened her blindfold. Megumi immediately pairs the blindfold on Taehyung as the game continues.

Taehyung said he had fun tonight. It turned out that playing with small children was so much fun that was what was on his mind. Taehyung repeatedly managed to catch someone but always mispronounced his name.

Megumi only laughed because Taehyung did not succeed many times.

The night full of stars seemed warm, as well as Taehyung who felt warm when he was with Megumi.

"Moshi-moshi (hello). All right, see you." Megumi picked up the phone from her father. It seems like tonight her father can't go home because of overtime. He also has to go home alone.

All the kids have been home since. Megumi and Taehyung live in the park.

"My father said if overtime works, he also told me to go home not late at night. Ta tae, ashita's eyes (see you)." Megumi said goodbye to go first.

"Wait a minute, I'll drop you off."

"Ehhhh no need, I can go home alone." Reject Megumi because she used to go home alone. Since childhood, Megumi has been taught independently by her parents.

" I don't accept the word no. Let's go.."

Taehyung walks towards the station, which is the night he might have the heart to let Megumi go home alone. It was also the first time Taehyung had dropped off a woman.

The two walked together towards the station and it only took them no more than ten minutes to reach their destination.

Taehyung lets Megumi walk in front of him because he refuses to be driven home, probably because he is a man. And it's possible that Megumi's parents wouldn't allow her to date.

"Based on the son of a murderer,!!!"

"COME...!!!! " said the woman loudly and grabbed Megumi's hair and left because she saw someone.

Taehyung was late to help him. When the woman was watering Megumi's body, she was justifying the shoelaces that had come off.

"Megumi.... !" taehyung shouted and ran towards Megumi.

"Go.... !!!! Don't come any closer, go..."

Megumi screamed loudly then ran very fast letting Taehyung alone. His eyes were puffy, he did not want to involve Taehyung in this situation.

"Matte (wait). Megumi where are you?"

Taehyung still yells at Megumi's name and runs around looking for her whereabouts. He had lost Megumi, running very fast when he entered the alley.

"What's really going on."

"Earth where you are, are you okay. " Guman Taehyung by pulling his hair. He still ran around the housing complex and looked for Megumi.

The incident was right before his eyes. He saw clearly when Megumi fell and then there was someone who deliberately doused her with water. Then why did Megumi tell him to leave ???

What the hell is going on??

For an hour Taehyung was still circling around the housing. He did not find Megumi. If only he had Megumi's phone number, he would immediately call her and ask if she was okay. Taehyung decided to return home because he did not want to miss the last train.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The sky had already changed to blue, and the sun had already started to rise. Taehyung opened his eyes, he was immediately stunned from his bed and ran to the bathroom to prepare for school.

"I left." Taehyung said when he saw his parents in the living room. Taehyung immediately put on his shoes and ran out.

"Matte (wait), don't you have breakfast? " ask her mother half-screaming but her son has gone far away.

"What happened to him, isn't it still 7 in the morning? " ask Mr. Kim to his wife.

"Okay, it looks like he's in a hurry. Your coffee is drinking immediately. " Taehyung's mother answered and gave her husband a cup of coffee.

Taehyung ran quickly towards his school. He remembers what happened last night, and he has to make sure Megumi is okay.

"Aaaahhh..... "

Taehyung fell down while stepping on his own shoelace. He immediately allowed the rope and immediately ran. At least if something happens to Megumi he is not too late to report to the police.

"Ohayou (good morning) Kim Taehyung." Hiroaki's greeting saw it. But Taehyung still ran away ignoring his friend's greeting.

"Matte (wait)." Hiroaki follows Taehyung's steps and manages to grab Kim Taehyung's shirt.

"Aa." Kim Taehyung's speech was cut off, he felt relieved when he saw Megumi walking with Rikako a bit far in front of him.

"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 to the health room.

When he fell there was a scratch on his knee that made his pants hollow. Taehyung did not feel it because he was worried about Megumi, but now he breathed a sigh of relief because he had seen Megumi enter school and laughed with Rikako.
