Mistaken Soul: Flower And You

Hina's Secret (1)

(Hikaru's POV)

It was 16:00 PM. I waited in a nearby hallway to search for her.

I saw her walking toward my position with her bag on her shoulder. "Hey! Hi-" She ignored me as she passed by.

I nodded understanding she was not in the good mood today.

I strode my legs and walk together beside her. After we out of the building, I pulled her to a quiet corner place and brought her into my embrace. I just missed her warmth.

She hit my chest and pushed me.

She back away from me a few steps. I asked her, "What's wrong? We are dating now. Shouldn't you used to this?"

Hina frowned when I told her that.

Did I say something wrong? We kissed and touch each other body a lot, shouldn't she use to this already? Well, although it wasn't in 'that stage' yet. I know it'll come sooner or later.

She looked at me on the eyes and scornfully said, "Now, you are looking down at my status. Look, you are the one who deliberately to makes us a couple. But, I never said I will agree to be with you."

"Hina what do you mean? I didn't mind that way. We kissed already, I don't like to be a man who can't responsible for what he had done. I want us dating with intention of marrying!"

She snorted and held her painful head, "As I said, It was just a kiss! What bullsh*t are you talking about? What 'man'? You're just a boy! What 'married'? We are still in high school! You're younger to me! Don't talk like an adult."

"I'm serious!"

"If you are serious then don't pursue me this way. I feel uncomfortable. How many times you were like this? Hikaru stop! Stop liking me. I'm not a good girl you think I am, and my problem is not simply what you think it is. Please back away before you get hurt."

Hina left me speechless.

She strode her legs to the school gate, leaving me stunned.

I had the intention to stop and yelled at her. But, I didn't.

I like her, so what?! Did she think just because of her words I will back away?

I already gave my ace card to her, but she didn't budge at all. She realized I would never do despicable things to her.

Was this the reason she didn't feel threatened at all?

I thought about her remarks.

I had my wages and proper position in big sis company.

Wasn't it the same? I work and I have a car, was it enough to show her a proper adult like?

Why didn't she believe me?

Did my approach fail once again?

Sighing, what am I doing? I should never do that to her.

It made her heart further away from me. 'I'm sorry Kumo, I should have to listen to you. I was just too impulsive.' I felt regret inward.

I regained my thought to the current situation. I looked at her departing figure leaving the school ground.

I messaged Akira to leave before me and told him that'll be late due to some business I need to take care of.

Of course, it was an excuse so that I could follow her.

Yes, I became stalker once again, yet this time it was outside the school.

What secret did she keep? I knew she was a prostitute, but why it didn't feel that way?

On second thought, why did I believe her to be a prostitute? Was it because she said herself she was a prostitute or the rumor?

She was a mysterious person. She made me pricked my curiosity all the time.

I looked at her figure from afar.

She didn't realize my present at all. I didn't notice when she suddenly disappear from my sight.

I searched for her then I found her entering one the narrow alley beside the cafe shop.

I lurked quietly but not obvious.

She entered one of the old apartment which could be ruined at any times. 'Is this where she lives?' I frowned when I looked at the building.

I noticed the area was muddy and dusty. This almost like a slump.

'Is she poor? But how can she entered that elite school?' I asked questioningly.

I saw her grade and she was averaged.

Our school expense was quite expensive due to their favorite rate and good reputation. Famous alumnae were also graduated from this school.

Thus, It made the tax higher than in regular school and known to be an elite school.

The student who didn't need to pay the school fee usually he or she got a scholarship. Just like me.

The scholarship usually being bestowed to the student who was diligent, smart enough to rise in the top five and maintain the position.

It didn't limit only to the people who struggle from financial problem.

If their family wealthy yet the student request for a scholarship, it could be processed too by the school.

But like I said, it has a special condition which was to keep consistent grade from the first year until the last year.

So, why she was in that kind of school? Was it due to the money from the man she had been served?

I approached the place closed and climb to one of the stairs beside the two-story apartment, I climb from behind so they would figure out.

I approached the apartment's window as I skulking.

Thank goodness there were no people in this hours.

I peeked from outside and I could see her and a man inside the room.

The place was dim. I heard them talking from the crack window.

"Today, you need to accompany Mr. Gobi again. He requested you to come to this place tonight. Did you succeed to bring the girls he asked you to do?" He said while tapping his finger to the brown table.

Hina looked at him and said with frown face, "I just need to serve him as usual again, right? Do I have to bring the other girls?"

"No, it just you today. You know how you are his favorite one. He even has a date with you, you should feel grateful. He never showed his other side beside you. He usually has a bad temper but when with you, he softens. Well, for me he's still the bad boss that I know." He yawned and looked at the watch on his right hand.

He continued to question her, "Do you still hanging around with that Hikaru boy? I suggest you cut off your ties with him. He is related to our enemy, Han Asuzawa. If he ever found out you are our henchman and report us to that man. Our plan will be ruined, and, I don't know what will happen in the future. Whether you and that boy will die from Mr. Gobi hands or he will ask you to kill that boy and made you kill yourself."

Hina frowned from his words.

She unconsciously gripped her skirt tightly until it crumpled.

She said, "No, he doesn't have anything to do with this. I didn't tell anything to him."

"No? Are you sure? You didn't have any attached feeling with him, right?" He looked at her nervous expression, he snorted.

"Our time is almost up. Don't get closer to that boy if the boss doesn't order you to do. Enough with the sweet high school time. You are a grown woman already!"

A sudden rain poured from the sky, it made the atmosphere more gloomy.

I glanced above and felt cold inside. 'It's the starting autumn, isn't it?'
