119 – Invitation to Crossing
Minsu got up from the bench and stretched. I couldn’t say anything as I saw him pretending that it was nothing and that it was in the past and that he was fine.
“…… “That’s how it happened.”
He was caught up in the incident where Aki-chan was kidnapped and was injured so badly that he had to be hospitalized, and had only recently been discharged from the hospital.
“So, Eri-chan….”
“Yes. I heard that Elena and Takase-senpai came forward and took them all down. “My side was just sitting and watching.”
I saw him smiling and joking.
If only I had looked… Why are you so hurt?
Was it necessary to go that far?
Anyway… ….
Worries and grumpy complaints rose to the top of my throat, but I quickly swallowed them.
“…… I see.”
Instead, I got up from the bench and followed him.
“Good job.”
“No. Rather than me, Elena and my senior….”
“Still.”
I reached out my hand and stroked his head.
“You worked hard. Well done, well done.”
“I am not some kind of kid…” .”
I looked at him who was shy but did not avoid petting.
It was like any other date, where we went to various shops together, looked around, and took a walk around the park.
Before we knew it, the sunset sky was illuminating the park red.
“It’s going to get dark little by little.”
Minsu said while looking around.
“Let’s go now. “I’ll take you home.”
“Ah… huh.”
I want to stay with you just a little longer.
I want to walk down the street with you even when it gets dark outside.
I was a little annoyed by the man who always strictly observed the Kato family’s curfew and took me home.
When I walked ahead, he followed and stood behind me.
“Haruna?”
“Yes.”
“What’s wrong? I do not feel good?”
“Not really.”
He is quick to catch such subtle changes in emotions and asks about them right away.
“Lie. “You’re dissatisfied with something right now.”
If you know that far, you probably know what the complaint is.
He comforted me, but he didn’t turn on the path toward home until the end.
Standing in front of the house, I looked back at him.
“Then go in.”
“……… ….”
I look at him in silence.
“…… “Your parents are waiting.”
Smiling as if there was nothing he could do, he stretched out his arm and took my hand.
“Oh….”
He gently pulled me and held me in his arms.
“…… I’m looking forward to going on a trip. Right?”
“Yes.”
When I was hugged like that, even the little complaints I had were melting away like snow.
I am a very easy woman.
After releasing his arm, he took a step back and waved his hand.
“Then I’ll go.”
“……… Huh.”
It seemed like today would pass like any other day.
However, the accumulated emotions were not conveyed.
I raised my head and shouted.
“…… Actually!”
Minsu stopped and looked in my direction.
“I like it now!”
There are complaints. But there is also happiness.
“Now that I’m friends with everyone and go on dates with my boyfriend every weekend!”
Aki-chan, Eri-chan, and Yuu-kun. And with Minsu.
“I like our current relationship… ! I don’t want to break it….”
“…………….”
He looked at me silently.
“So, I am grateful to Minsu.”
“Haruna… ….”
“It’s true, this is sincere.”
I didn’t have the heart to reveal my true feelings like this.
I said it without even realizing it.
“If it weren’t for you… “I don’t think I could have gone around like this.”
He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
“That’s Oba.”
“……… ….”
“We just fit each other well. We just got together because it was fun. Is not it?”
Even my thoughts were without any basis, so I couldn’t refute him.
“Then see you next time.”
Now he waved his hand and slowly walked away from me.
There is both happiness and dissatisfaction.
I knew that I couldn’t be satisfied with everything, that’s life.
I knew it, but it was difficult to truly accept.
Eri and Aki-chan both have feelings that they can’t let go of.
It was something we could feel naturally when we were together.
Nevertheless, is it okay for me to be satisfied with the present like this?
It is a complaint that can shake up the current situation if done incorrectly.
I pressed his chest and watched him walking away.
***
Shiraishi stretched out his arms on a yacht rushing at full speed through the waves.
“Oh~ hohoho!! Faster! Please go a little faster~!!”
Standing alone and without fear at the end of the deck, shouting loudly.
Yuuki was stuck in the bathroom due to seasickness and buried his head in the toilet, while his senior was sitting on a rough rocking boat, watching the sea.
“Aki-chan~ Then fall~!”
Even if Haruna shouts, it is not heard due to the loud noise of the motor. Haruna said something as she grabbed my arm, but I couldn’t hear her voice even right next to her.
When I glanced back, I saw Elena standing calmly without losing her balance even on the shaking deck.
The long-awaited travel day.
Yuki’s face, which had been extremely excited, turned blue, and Haruna and I were barely able to maintain our balance by holding on to each other.
The only people who remain calm are Takase-senpai and Elena.
The person whose tension is so high that he cannot control it is Shiraishi.
When we arrived at the island, the employees there welcomed us.
“Welcome. Miss.”
“Hello~! Long time no see!”
Shiraishi took the lead and introduced us to them.
“Guess… !!”
Yuuki, who was trudging out of the yacht, stuck his head out and retched.
“Oh my, Yuuki. “I’m not allowed to throw up in the sea, right?”
“Speed… I told him several times to reduce it….”
“I didn’t hear that.”
Of course. Because I was drowned out by the sound of the motor, I couldn’t hear anything.
However, as a result, the time to arrive at the island was much shorter.
Shiraishi sent a car to each of us in front of our house and drove us to the airport, where we all gathered and boarded a private plane.
We soon arrived at the island, transferred to a yacht, and arrived here in less than a few hours.
Should we say that the travel of chaebol families is really different?
By the time I arrived at my destination, I didn’t even feel the fatigue caused by it.
“Oppa, are you okay?”
“Cow, inside…” I’m feeling upset….”
Yuko followed him and patted his back.
“Come on, let’s go to the villa! “Let’s unpack there!”
Shiraishi, full of energy, stretches out his fingers.
“I will take it.”
“Oh, yes…” .”
As I was leaving my luggage with the employee, Haruna naturally came over and stood next to me.
“Let’s go, Minsu.”
“Uh, yes.”
With her arms around me, she led me through the day.
I started walking, feeling a strange sense of discomfort that was different from usual.
After entering the large and spacious villa, we dispersed to our assigned rooms.
After entering the single room and unpacking my luggage, I laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
I can’t believe I can use such a large room by myself… I felt relieved that I could rest properly for the first time in a long time.
I woke up when I heard a knocking sound.
“Ah… “It’s me, it’s me.”
When I opened the door, Haruna was waving her hand.
“The men’s room is on the second floor.”
“Yes, Yuuki is right next to me.”
The color of his face still looked bad, but I wonder if he will be okay.
The day she came, I looked at her eyes and asked.
“Hey, can I come in?”
“Of course.”
Haruna steps carefully and comes inside. She followed suit as she closed the door.

“Wow, wow~ Minsu’s room is structured like this~”
“Is Haruna different?”
“No… “It’s almost the same.”
Haruna smiled and gave her an embarrassed look.
“Aki-chan said that as soon as we unpack, we should go to the beach and play. “I asked you to tell it to the men’s group.”
“Ah~ Yes. Okay.”
Yuuki thought it would be difficult right away, but she agreed for now.
In that case, you should first change into a swimsuit.
I saw Haruna walking around the room and looking around.
“Wow, you can see the sea from here. Pretty….”
If she had come to convey Shiraishi’s words, she would not have had to come into the room.
Is there any reason why she continues to pace around the room even after delivering it?
I don’t know much about her, but she decided not to push her in any particular way.
“Look over there. “There is a lighthouse.”
“Really?”
She went out onto the veranda and looked behind Haruna, who was pointing outside.
“Hey, this room would be nice…” Because I like the view….”
Haruna, who was muttering awkwardly, turned her head.
“Ah, ah… !”
When she saw me right behind her, she flinched and was surprised. She lowered her body and quickly ran out of the veranda.
“…… Oh no… Suddenly I’m behind… No, I was surprised….”
“Uh… huh.”
As expected, it is a little different from usual.
Are you feeling unwell or have something to worry about?
“Haruna.”
“Uh, huh?”
Then you can’t just ignore it.
“If anything happens, please tell me right away.”
“… Uh? “What’s going on?”
There is nothing I can focus on, but I said it first.
“If you have any concerns or something to say, anything.”
“……… ….”
“Because it doesn’t matter when.”
I smiled playfully to reassure her.
“Even early morning is fine.”
As she said that, Haruna kept her mouth shut for a while and just looked down at her floor.
“Well, then…” !”
Eventually, as if she had made up her mind, Haruna raised her head and opened her mouth.
“Hey, are you inside? “Please open the door~”
Yuki’s voice was heard as he knocked.
One day, when I was trying to get her to say something, I was startled and stopped.
“………… What’s the matter?”
When I shouted towards the closed door, Yuuki asked if there was any motion sickness medicine.
I brought some emergency medicine, but I guess the timing wasn’t very good.
While she was wondering what to do for a moment, she noticed Haruna standing right in front of her.
The sound of light breathing tickled my ears, and at the same time, a small whisper was heard.
“Well, then at dawn…” !”
After she whispered into my ear, Haruna immediately turned around and opened her door.
“Woah, wow… ! What… !”
Yuuki, surprised to see Haruna suddenly facing her, immediately bumped her shoulder with her.
Yuuki looked back at her in a hurry with her bewildered expression and then looked at me.
“Hey, what’s happening all of a sudden…” Haru-chan… “Is something wrong?”
“Well.”
I also didn’t know anything, so I tilted my head along with Yuuki and looked at each other.
