Deeply

Inexplicably

Irrevocably

That's how you deserve to be loved

Kento's POV:

"Where did I put my watch again?" I look under the bed for the fifth time now. It's already 3 in the morning and I'm not yet done packing. I groan getting more frustrated as kick the suitcase lightly to push it away and I plop on the bed.

Sighing I stare up at the ceiling and keep thinking where in the world I put my things in this small room. "Damn it. I wish Hachi was here...She'd have found everything in a few minutes and my packing would have been already done by now."

I spread my hands and rest them on the bed and try to remember where I put my things. Suddenly my phone started to ring and I immediately grabbed it. The smile that plastered on my face is undesirable.

It was Hachi. My beloved sister.

I slide on the answering button and put the phone against my ear. "Hey. You'll live longgggg my beloved Hachi...I was just thinking about you." I get up from my bed and walk towards the small veranda.

I heard a soft chuckle from the other side of the phone. "You must be having a hard time looking for your stuff that's why you were thinking about me. And stop calling me Hachi I have got a name Baka nii-San." She said softly and her voice was very low. It's a relief to hear her laugh where there are no hidden worries or words lays.

I put my free hand inside my pocket and lean on the door frame of the veranda. I take a deep breath and look outside up in the sky. Tonight the wind is heavy.

"Baka janaiyo (I'm not an idiot), I first saw you when you were 8 months, that day it was 8 August, I met you again 8 years later on 8 April, 8 years later I saw you coming back home with groceries at 8 pm, again 8 years later I saw you with a ring on you ring finger and that day also 8 August. You came to Japan on 8 August at 8 pm....so Hachi means Eight in Japanese, eight is a lucky charm for us and Hachi name suits you perfectly stop complaining."

I said all in one breath. "Oh, Kamisama (God) save me from this demon lord. How can you remember all this even though it's easy thanks to all those eights but damn nii-San sugge (so cool)." She empathise with the last word and I couldn't help but laugh at her statement. I was staring at the plane which was flying in the clear sky and tried to remember our childhoods and how little we spent time together but yet today we are this close to seeming more like siblings than cousins.

"Hachi is Yua Yamazaki, Hachi is my sister Kim Y/N....what do you guys add in last when calling someone out of respect in Korea?" I ask as I tried to think.

"Ssi."

I click my thumbs and index fingers together and spin around. "Yes, Kim Y/n-ssi. Sounds good together. Doesn't it?"

I walk toward the small table and mess up with the things I kept on it. She didn't reply and went silent. "What did he say?" I asked as I walk out from the room to the kitchen. She was silent for a moment.

"He...was....he..." She went silent. 

I don't want her to struggle nor do I wish to force her but I need to know what he said to her when he took her back to that filthy mansion. Did he finally let her go? I let him take her to that mansion even though I knew it was the worst decision I've ever made but I couldn't let this opportunity go...Yua has to face this, that man has to face this. Either both of them let go of each other or talk and clear the misunderstandings they have been building up for so long.

I don't want Yua to suffer holding all those unnecessary burdens that she shouldn't keep on holding. It hurts to see my little sister like that. I'm well aware of their relationship even oka-san, Murakami, and Ayame as well. That's why we let him into our house and let him stay, do whatever he wanted. Otherwise, Murakami and I was originally planned to hand him over police...

However, I still didn't let him slide off so easily. That morning when I first saw him I was shocked, I couldn't believe my own eyes what he was doing inside Hachi's room. Did she allow him? Why didn't she call for us? Did he threaten her? I should go and called the police first...but I came to a halt and calmed myself down.

He seemed quite sleepy and his movements were imbalanced, I was able to smell alcohol from him. But he was wide awake when he saw me and realized that he just opened the bedroom door of Hachi's. The whole time I was glaring at him without saying a word. The first thing he said was, "She's still sleeping...want me to wake her up?"

I swear the nerve of this man is beyond my imagination. How dare he ask me such a question? Shouldn't he feel embarrassed or at least fear me that he's inside my sister's room for kamisama sake. All the time that man's face was calm and expressionless as if I didn't matter, the whole situation didn't matter.

I asked him what the hell he was doing here? How did he come inside our house? Did he do something to Hachi? All kinds of questions didn't leave a single one that came to my mind.

All the time that jerk was staring at me blankly. He waited until the end. I tried to look inside the room and spoke as louder as possible to wake Hachi up but that aho (stupid) sleepyhead won't easily wake up.

We stayed silent after that for a few moments and finally he opened his mouth. Bowing he said, "I'm sorry for barging inside your house without your permission and I'm well aware of this situation don't worry I won't do or even think of doing anything that will harm your family or your sister."

I just simply couldn't believe his words right. I wanted to grab him by his collar and drag him downstairs but damn...if those kids and oka-san weren't there I would have done that for sure. My mother hates it when we think about treating someone badly who is a guest in our house, it doesn't matter if that person is our enemy or not. We have to treat them well.

I had to keep my calm and make him get the hell outta my house. But of course, I couldn't make him noticed by other family members, especially the twins.

"What are you doing here? You threw my sister away, treated her wrongly, hurt her feelings, didn't even bother to know her circumstances and all you did was neglect her this whole time. Now she's happy and living a better life...wth are you doing here? Can't you just let her live in peace? Do you even have a bit idea of what she's been through? How much has she's been crying? How depressed she is? Because of you and your given stress she can't even rest properly. Every second she fears you might appear from nowhere and someday will snatch her babies away. For Kamisama sake let her go...let her breath. She's a human too. Damn it."

At that time I was on the verge of crying. My heart hurts even recalling all those days and times she cried leaning on my shoulder. Sometimes I fear that she might someday break into glass pieces and no one will be able to pair her together. I hate to see her like that. I hate to see the fears in her eyes.

However, the twins asked about their father last time her. We can't be selfish as well, those kids need their father as well. Of course, they'll be curious about their father. They have all the rights to yearn for their father and none of us has the right to snatch that right from them or this man.

What should we do? In this situation, I feel like I'm walking in a huge open maze. There seems to be no way outta this situation. Everything is such a big mess.

"I want my wife back."

Upon hearing that I looked at him in utter disbelief. I stare at him and nodded my head, I couldn't hold my laugh and I started to clap my hands. But the man looked serious and honest with his words. Isn't that supposed to be a joke? Or maybe not?

"Ik everything is a mess. Ik I hurt your sister and my wife quite badly...its undesirable. But I want to fix that...I want to repent for my deeds and I'm sincere about it. I want to make her happy and I'm determined. After knowing about my babies I'm more determined to take back my family and build a bright future with them...Sir give me a chance please, all I need is a chance to fix everything up...if I again messed up o promise I'll do anything you and your sister will ask."

I couldn't possibly believe all those words. I stare at him and there were no words that could come out from my lips, they were stuck on my throat. And somehow my throat hurts as if it's preventing me to swallow something, sadness? Guilt? Anger?

Sadness, because I wasn't there when my sister needed me the most and she had to suffer so much at such a young age? 

Guilt, because I couldn't help her get out from the cage she was and I couldn't help her out from any of her problems? How dare I question the man in front of me?

Anger, because this man is the reason for her misery and pain, all the sufferings? And now he came back to give her more trauma and ruin her completely?

I clenched my palm into a tight fist as those things started to eat me up at that moment."Sir? I promise I will f--" 

I couldn't stand his words and all those lies, moreover, I couldn't stand him anymore so without letting him complete his bullshit I threw a punch on his face as hard as I could however it did not make me feel at ease I wanted to punch him even more, kick him out of my house but damn...if those kids weren't here I would have done that a long ago. His face was forcefully yanked at the other side however he didn't fall on the floor. He puts his hand on the place where he was hit but didn't look back at me. This made me even angrier so I grabbed him by his collar and pulls him closer to me.

"Listen you bastard IDC who are you, what power you have got, how much money you have, and who you fucked or how many you fucked before getting my sister involved in your goddamn life. You fucked up my sister's life and that's the truth. I don't give a fuck about your past life nor do I give a damn about your sorry, you ruined my sister and now she is unable to give answers to her babies because of a monster like you."  

I push him and glare at him, pointing my finger I added more, "I would have kicked you out long ago but bastards always get a stroke of good luck that the twins are at home and worked up, especially my mother doesn't like it when we even talk badly about outsiders or treat them badly inside the house otherwise someone like you don't even deserve a second chance. I'm warning you if you messed up this time...?" I walked closer to him and said, "I'll be the one who is going to kill you and cut you into pieces. Thanks, those kids if they never wanted their father I would have never stood you....monster."

Saying that I took a last glance inside the room to see Hachi still sound asleep. I peeked at him and noticed there were no bruises marks on his face, I should have given more force to make him bleed. I told him I will come back to let him know that everyone left and he can leave.

However, I didn't get the chance to go back and drag him outta this house and beat the shit out of him. Hachi was already awake and was ready to leave for kindergarten. Nevertheless, I didn't expect her to ask for spare clothes for that guy, it surprised me but I just acted it out by staying calm...I can't say anything to her, I know she has something in her mind to do something about it if I calmly let her know that I'm aware of the guy.

Later, that night I wanted to warn him and tell him to stay away from them but he asked for a second chance and after hearing his conversation with my mother I thought of giving him a chance and besides he won't be staying here nor it's like he can stay so apparently it's okay as long as he doesn't stay too close to them. 

However, that jerk had to collab with her company, had I known about it I would have punched him, even more, that day. Additionally, a lot happened and now I'm here in order to check on him on the other hand, after hearing what the twins dreamed about I'm more scared. 

Furthermore, Yua has to face a lot of things and I want her to face that man and bring an end to this damn game and make everything clear. To do this if she has to cry and hurt herself she gotta do that otherwise this whole thing is going to bother her, her entire life. She will keep on suffering her entire life which is really disturbing, it may later lead to something more dangerous and I don't want this for my sister. This is also the reason I kept quiet this whole time but it seems I did another mistake...

"He sent me back my diary and letters..."

I snap back from my thoughts...she took a long time to finally respond. I didn't say anything and let her finish. "And a letter from him." I was so lost in my thoughts that I forgot for what reason I came into the kitchen. I grab a glass and pour some water myself, I lean on the counter and listen to her while she slowly talks it out. 

But instead of speaking, she started to sob. I drink the water in one gulp and put down the glass next to me on the counter, clearing my throat I asked, "What was written on his letter?"

"Nii what should I do? I left him, he finally let me go...but it hurts. It hurts so much." She bursts out crying and made my heart broke I wish I could go to her but I don't have a car and I'm not familiar with this country. 

"He said he will never pursue me nor he will try to approach me. He will love me from afar and even if he dies..." she stopped here and started to cry out loud. I can tell she put her hands on her mouth to prevent any noise while crying. "Yua? Yua it's okay...everything will be alright."

"What..." she kept sobbing. "What does he mean by even if he dies? Why did he send back the bracelet I made for us? Why did he still keep it until now? Why did he keep that diary and letters? It hurts..."

She kept crying the more she spoke. "Yua! Yua you have to let him go...he did the same. He finally respected your decision so you have to accept it as well. End everything for once and live your life. He won't approach you anymore, won't snatch your babies. What else do you want that man to do? He did exactly what you wished...you cant expect that man to approach you the rest of your life and beg you and keep on giving you nightmares or this is what you want?"

"No!! I never want that and I will never but I loved him, I still love that man...he was not only my husband but was my first love and now my kid's father...I still think what if all those never happened and I was happy with him...it hurts to let go nii...it hurts."

I couldn't answer her. Love hurts...it hurts really bad and I understand her so I decided to keep quiet and let her cry until she calms down. I hope this will be the last time she cries for that man and I hope this night will be the last night for her sufferings. I hope the future which is about to approach us soon, will be the happiest future in her life, our life. 

I wish for the best for my sister, the twins, and that man. I hope every worse thing comes to an end in the near future.
