The Brothel [Draken - Tokyo Revengers]

Chapter 17: I'm Sorry

Chapter 17:

[Draken's POV]

It's been 2 weeks since the incident in Yokohama, everyone went back to their normal lives as if nothing happened.

Everyone who was involved in the incident has been punished accordingly.

Ikeda Sakura and her group of friends were sent in juvie. I have surrendered the phone Yuiko gave me to the police, and after reviewing the contents, the harassment done to Haru was proven.

Sakura's father was fired as the chief of police and was replaced by Yuiko's father.

Sakura and Asahi both got a 5-year sentence, while the 2 who always took part got a year. I personally believe it was too short for what they put Haru through.

Yuiko was not punished and it was proven that she did not take part in the bullying but she did have to do community service for witnessing the bullying for weeks and did not do or report anything to the proper authority or higher-ups.

The same goes for the whole student body of 2nd mid, everyone had to do community service as punishment for the bullying that has happened in the school.

The principal, the homeroom teacher of Class 2-D, and the Assistant Principal were also fired from the school for not doing anything about the bullying even though they were aware it was happening.

The whole incident itself even reached the media and was shown all over the news in the whole Kanto region.

It became a hot topic for a couple of days but it later died and everyone went back to doing their own thing.

Of course, it upsets me that how Haru suffered was nothing more than like a gust of wind, it didn't last long, it just passed by.

She deserves the apology, everybody deserves to feel guilty about what they did to her.

Just like how I've been feeling guilty for neglecting her.

"Ken-bou, you're up early," Misaki-san said as I was heading out the door,

"I'm going to visit Haru," I told them,

"I'm sure she's happy that you're always visiting her, she really likes you, you know," Misaki-san told me,

"Make sure you take care of her, okay? We'll visit her later this afternoon," Masaway-san said,

"I'll take care of everything, don't worry," I assured them as I headed out of the brothel.

Ever since the incident, I have done nothing but repent for everything I have done, so I made sure to visit her every day and tell her how sorry I am for not being able to do anything. Every day I tell her how sorry I am for the harsh words, the ill-treatment, and the neglect I've done to her.

I hope one day she will forgive,

...

"I'm back," I told Haru as I arrived at the hospital, Haru manage to survive her suicide attempt but has been listless ever since.

Not only that, she hasn't said a word for the past 2 weeks.

She's like an empty shell, just staring blankly into space.

"I bought you miso soup," I told her as I placed the bowl on the table beside her bed, but she just sat in place, blankly looking at the foot of the bed,

"You barely ate anything these past two weeks, you should eat something," I told her, but she was still not reacting, "You're going to get discharged this afternoon, Masaway-san said you should stay at the brothel for a while,"
