Tetsuo Sakaki felt that this meeting was a mistake.
As the ace member of Koaki High School's karate club and one of the top students in his class, he had deep confidence in himself.
Koaki High School was filled with geniuses and strong individuals, so he was undoubtedly proud to be able to hold a place in the top class. In his eyes, he only looked at those at the same level or higher than him.
Tetsuo Sakaki didn't care about those at the lower class, not to mention the students from other high schools that weren't even at the lower class level.
He didn't understand why Haruka Shimizu was so obsessed with this … Yuen Hwa Secondary? At any rate, she was just an ordinary female student in a low-class school that wasn't even worth paying attention to.
Indeed, they had a relationship before, but that was already in the past, and that relationship wasn't right in the first place!
Since it had been resolutely cut off, it was better to say goodbye forever and never pay attention to her again. But …
He had already directly expressed his confusion towards Haruka, but since Haruka insisted on doing this, he could only play along.
Haruka was too soft-hearted.
Such a person wasn't worth her feelings at all!
Tetsuo Sakaki was absolutely certain of this.
"The two of you … don't even know that the two of you are no different from trash." He revealed a condescending expression as he spoke his true thoughts.
"Tetsuo!" Haruka raised her voice.
"Don't stop me, Haruka! You saw for yourself how rude these two are! "Tetsuo glanced at the girl before glaring at Haruka.
"We invited them out of goodwill, but they're so rude. They're practically … trash!"
Seiji and Chiaki retracted their fake smiles and exchanged glances.
"They've appeared."
"Yep, they've revealed themselves so quickly … the arrogant boy's true colors."
Both of them had expected this, and their gazes remained calm.
Tetsuo was enraged by their gazes that seemed to see through him.
If he had calmed down a little, perhaps he would have realized that he had made a mistake, but he was blinded by his arrogance and anger.
He stood up abruptly and slammed the table, spilling the coffee in his cup.
"Let's go, Haruka!
"These trash-like fellows aren't worth our time at all …"
* Slap! *
There was a crisp sound.
It came from the brown-haired boy's cheek.
It came from the blue-haired girl's palm.
Tienan was dumbfounded by the sudden slap. He had no idea what was going on.
"You … don't embarrass me!"
Haruka also stood up, suppressing her anger as she growled in a low voice.
She knew that the young man in front of her wasn't very reliable, but she didn't expect him to see through her so easily.
At the same time, what surprised her even more was that she actually lost control just like that.
Seeing Tienan's unbearable performance, she actually got rash and slapped him.
This shouldn't be happening … This wasn't something she would normally do!
It was also at this moment that Haruka Shimizu realized that she was deeply shaken.
The scene fell into dead silence.
After a while.
Chiaki sighed and broke the silence.
"Haruka … Actually, I really miss you."
She looked at the blue-haired girl with a gentle expression.
"Chiaki …"
Haruka also looked at the silver-haired girl.
"After you left, there was a long period of time where I thought about you every day … almost every moment," Chiaki said slowly.
"Every time I think about what you said to me at that time, my heart aches."
You said many things, and they were all very reasonable … but none of that was important to me. I didn't care, I didn't understand, and I didn't accept it.
All I knew was that you wanted to break up with me, and you were very determined.
I was hurt, and it hurt a lot.
But I still … liked you. "
A single tear trickled down Chiaki's pale cheeks from the corner of her eye.
Haruka was speechless as she looked at Chiaki.
Tetsuo still hadn't regained his senses.
If he dared to say anything at this moment, Seiji swore that he would smash his mouth open.
Without a sound, he handed a tissue to Chiaki.
Naturally, only Seiji would do such a thing.
Chiaki took the tissue, wiped her eyes, and took a deep breath.
"After that, I managed to get through it with much difficulty.
First, I relied on the happy club activities … the club president is a strange person, but he's a genuinely good person, and so are the others in the club.
Second, I relied on someone else. When I was at my lowest, she clumsily approached me and comforted my friend … even though she didn't realize it herself. "She chuckled lightly.
"After that, I met Seigo." Her eyes were filled with gentleness as she glanced at the boy beside her.
"Being with him … I was really happy, and my life was even more enjoyable than before.
After that, I received your phone call. "
Chiaki looked deeply into Haruka's eyes.
"I was surprised, happy, and scared.
I don't know why you still did this, but no matter the reason, I wanted to see you.
You said that you would bring your boyfriend with you, and even though I was hurt, I still wanted to see you.
Even though I was afraid, and even though I knew that this meeting wouldn't be pleasant, I still wanted to see you.
I … missed you so much … Haruka … "
Sparkling and translucent tears flowed down from her sparkling eyes once again.
"Chiaki …"
Haruka Shimizu's expression changed, revealing the deep and genuine emotions that she had been hiding.
Sadness, nostalgia, longing, and complex emotions …
She walked over to Chiaki, knelt down, and hugged her.
"I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" Tears also flowed down from the blue-haired girl's eyes.
"It's all my fault … I'm sorry, Chiaki …"
"I also … actually … miss you …"
The two girls hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces.
Seiji sighed inwardly as he witnessed this scene.
Then, he silently stood up and looked across at Seiji.
Tetsuo Sakaki was still in a daze, but he had regained some of his senses.
Seiji looked at him until Tetsuo Sakaki shifted his gaze to him.
Let's talk outside!
If Tetsuo Sakaki couldn't even understand this, Seiji would teach him how to be a proper person.
Fortunately, the brown-haired boy wasn't an idiot.
Tetsuo Sakaki glanced at the two girls one last time before leaving the room with Seiji.
Outside the room.
"I'm truly sorry for my rude words just now." Seiji's first sentence was a sincere apology.
"But that's also because the look in your eyes displeases me … Don't think that you're hiding it well." Seiji's tone suddenly turned cold.
Tetsuo remained silent.
"I don't know if you're really that girl's boyfriend, and I don't want to care, but with someone like you around, it's impossible for them to talk nicely, so I had to expose you first." Seiji told him the truth.
"I don't know why you looked down on us from the start, and I don't want to know either. You're just an insignificant person, and it doesn't matter what you think.
But I won't allow you to get in Chiaki's way! She worked hard to gather her courage, and came here with the understanding that she'd be hurt. As her companion, I'm here to help her get rid of any obstacles.
Now, let's wait here until they're done talking. "
'If you dare to do anything, I'll make sure that you'll never be able to do anything again.'
Seiji didn't finish his sentence, and just stood there silently, ignoring Tetsuo.
Tetsuo Sakaki was currently experiencing complex emotions.
After being slapped by Haruka and seeing her reveal her true feelings … he finally faintly realized what a mistake he had made.
The girl in front of him … Wakaba Chiaki was someone that Haruka had once loved and truly loved.
Yet he looked down on her … looked down on her, and ignored Haruka's feelings … This side of him was exposed after a simple provocation.
That was why Haruka was angry.
That slap on his face was not undeserved at all!
Tetsuo felt depressed at this thought.
He didn't want to hurt Haruka, but he made such a mistake.
Would Haruka … hate him from now on?
Tetsuo didn't think so, because Haruka had a soft heart, and this made his heart ache even more.
'Ahh! Honestly, just what did I do!?' The proud boy fell into a state of self-loathing.
Then, he noticed the handsome boy standing silently beside him.
'This guy … is actually quite smart.'
Tetsuo Sakaki couldn't help but grit his teeth as he thought about what Seiji had done and said. He had to admit that Seiji had performed much better than him!
Yuen Hwa Secondary … Harano Seigo.
