Finding You | KWON SUN IL

Hinata sat on the bench at the park as Natsu played with the other kids in the playground. He wanted to have some fresh air and needed to be out. Seno thought it would help him bring some memories.

"Shouyou! Here have some ice cream."Hinata turned to see Daichi and nodded.

He took the vanilla ice cream and looked back at Natsu. Daichi sat next to him and watched Natsu. He was here because they were under supervision. Daichi was the closest person to be out of everyone but he was glad to be here.

Hinatas old friends decided to meet up just so Hinata could get his memories of them. Iwao, Kenta and Fumio looked with their eyes widen. He wasn't short as before. It really did surprise them. Their parents when by them and smiled.

"Hello, again Daichi! It's nice to see you again."Iwao's mother said and Kenta's mother smirked.

"Aye kid you grew up! You look like my son if only if you were my son."She said patting him in the back making the child confused.

"Oh Shouyou, these are your friends and these are their parents,"Daichi said and Hinata just nodded.

"Now you have a sister too. Wow, you've grown so much since the last time I saw you."Kenta's mother said and Fumio's mother pats her back to calm her down.

He looked down at the three and blinked. Nothing came to his head and wondered how he was friends with them. He turned to look at Natsu, his supposed sister. He sighed as she ran to them.

"Hello! I'm Natsu! I'm Shouyou's sister!"She said smiling and they nodded.

"You kids play okay. You to Shouyou!"Kenta's mother said loudly which made him nod.

He walked with the kids as they played. He watched as someone walked the street. Even though a lot of people walk the street. It just felt odd for him. His eyes follow the person he was looking at and his vision started to get blurry.

"STUPID! STUPID!"He turned to see Kawai.

He saw him hurt the boys and dump water on them. He turned back to ignore. He didn't want to deal with anyone or anything anymore. He felt a tap on his shoulder then turned to see Kawai.

"They were bullying you right? This is what they get. Why don't we get some snacks."He said smiling at Hinata.

Hinata nodded. He just didn't want to get hurt so instead listened to the male. He followed Kawai who skipped excitedly. Hinata stared and noticed Kawai's fist clenched. He gulped and slowly went to touch his hand.

Kawai turned and looked straight at Hinata. "What?"

"D...don't pull your anger because of the problems they create. Don't throw your anger and make yourself feel stressed. It's okay."Hinata told him who just smiled at him.

"Thank you."

Nakai smiled holding his Shoichi in his arms. He walked to see Hinata taller. He frowned and looked at him just standing there. Also seeing Seno walking to some ladies with their camping chairs. Seno noticed them and waved which they waved back. He walked up to him and smiled.

"Hello, I'm Nakai. This is Shoichi. These are my crack-headed friends."He said smiling and bowed his head.

They chuckle and introduced themselves. He put his child down to the picnic mat with Iwao's little brother, Iseri. He looked back at Hinata and was surprised.

"He grew?"

"Yeah...not too long ago."Seno mumbles and the male nodded.

"Boss! We will bring it."One said and they turned to see a bunch of males.

"Is your son okay? He's just...standing there."Nakai asked and they turned to look at him.

"Shouyou, you know...I feel bad."Hinata frowned staring at him then at his feet.

"See what happens when you tell on someone. So sad. Well...that's not my fault."Hinata gulped as he saw something he wished to take his mind off of.

"You hurt her...you bothered her when you shouldn't. You know that's bad."Kawai chuckled and shakes his head.

"No...you did."

"Hey! Shouyou?"Seno called out shaking him to wake up.

Hinata turned and hugged his dad. Seno rubbed his back softly and looked around. He sighed and kissed his forehead. He didn't want to deal with it anymore. Hinata was completely done. He didn't do it. He didn't do anything.

"I'm sorry,"Hinata mumbles feeling disgusted.

"No...don't be sorry for the fact you didn't do anything and it's not your apology to give Shouyou. It's not your fault."Seno looked at the ladies and Fumio's mother ran to Hinata.

"Here drink some water and walk with me okay. Let the kids have fun."She said smiling and Seno nodded.

Seno let go and Hinata took his hands to take the water bottle. He drank a little bit and looked at Seno. He wanted to know if he should really go. Seno just nodded and smiled assuring him it was okay. Fumio's mother smiled and walked. Hinata followed beside her and looked at her. He held his bottle as they calmly walked for a moment until she took him to the flower fields to look.

"I know what it feels like."Hinata turned and looked at her.

"Being bullied and abused. I know how it is. It is more suffering when your alone and not being able to believe if your able to live out of it."She said and he glanced back at the flowers she was staring at.

"But once we water ourselves some love and respect for ourselves, those memories will always be something that can only be a dream. Sometimes it will hurt and sometimes it will come back to make you cry but take your time to look at them and see them. Don't look at them and wonder what you could've done to change it but what you can do now to make yourself feel comfortable with the present."She smiled and pat his back.

"Why are you telling me this?"He asked and she took his hand softly taking him to walk around.

"Because I wish I had someone who would've told me when I needed it."
