"Yurie," JinHua said, and tied his hands over hers. Yurie replied an almost unheard reply, "mmm?"
"Just now, Shega Hariga contacted me—" hos words were directly cutted in by Yurie. "But you wouldn't answer for it, right??"
JinHua took a breath for a while and cleared his throat, "Sorry, but I already done so... . But he kept on calling me, and submitted lots of messages about he wanted to say something important.. That's why- I asked him to come here."
Yurie almost spat all her food when she heard the explanation from JinHua. "He will come here?!"
The calm looked guy nodded, and flew out his gaze somewhere, "He might arrive now." Yurie furrowed her brows and the sight of her filled with anger and disgust. At the last she could hear JinHua talked again, "Sorry Yurie— Really sorry."
Yurie realised the innocent look on JinHua's eyes that seeking for her forgiveness. She then shook her head as their eyes met, "No- It's alright."
JinHua looked lovingly over Yurie. He himself didn't realized why would he suffer himself for those conflicts, since the first day he was with her until today. JinHua once was only a basketball well-known player and didn't like fuss and trouble, but now... he already mixed himself into it. For who? For the sake of Yurie. Long ago, he would only hang out together with his friends and have fun.. watching his crush secretly— Yurie herself, and at the same time watching the bullying scene of Shega Hariga and his gang over SooYang.
"JinHua." a call from a cold sounded voice rang into Yurie and JinHua's ears. Instead of JinHua, Yurie replied, "Straight to the point. I hate- we hate seeing your face."
JinHua stared Yurie first, and carefully he said, "Take your seat, bro."
Shega Hariga took his seat near JinHua, also opposite over Yurie but he only focused his gaze on the table. "Do you both know Harley?"
Yurie knitted her brows, "What now? Harley also will be going to be part of your evilness? You want to accuse him?"
"Shut up." he said, tactfully breaking the delicate of the silence. Yurie looked furiously over him, and when she wanted to protest more, JinHua signalled her to be a bit patient. 'This must be a crucial thing. You stupid turkey— wait when you're finished!' She mockingly thought. Her eyes seemed to be an eagle's gaze. Why not, this guy already made a lot of things to make her best friend suffer!
"He's the one that planned against that bus crash incident." he said, straight to the point. From his voice, the anger and the pain were both pulling his ability to speak together. His hands gripped each of them like his hands were fighting. In a gap of time, suddenly a maniac laughter echoed, "Ha! As I say before, this must be a great plan of yours!"
JinHua then calmed her, but he unable to do so. Yurie already lost her patience, "You think we are so foolish to put trust on your words? Go to hell, trash!"
"Why should I plan? It's no use." Immediately, Yurie regretted he words when he showed them a video with duration for two minutes. JinHua was taken aback like been struck by a lightning. He securely said over Shega Hariga, "Where did you get this video from, Shega?" while Yurie almost lost her balance to think. She looked down the floor, and her eyes seems fragile, there was an unexplainable hidden sadness inside it.
"Takaki."
Both JinHua and Yurie were prickled hearing that unknown name. ''I once heard it before.. But- where?'' Yurie thought alone, whispering over herself.
Shega Hariga replied, "He's part of those trashy plans." he then began declaring that the bus incident was a planned incident, not an accident. Every part of his words contained details about Harley, which is SooYang's step-brother that came there from abroad only to claim the leftover properties of their father, which was actually fully belonged to SooYang. Harley actually didn't has anything to do with it. He's not from Wakahiro Shinzakai's blood. Although they were siblings, but Yenzou and SooYang are the real child of Wakahiro Shinzakai, while Yenzou has different father; Ms Chin's first husband that already died 13 years back.
"He left Japan as soon as he was 17. He went to America helped by SooYang's father when he said he wanted to live independently. Byt actually he left it to plan for his strategy on taking SooYang's belonging she would inherited." Shega Hariga explained expansively. Yurie then asked him, "So.. that American guy.. is the person behind all this?"
Shega Hariga didn't say anything, but Yurie could tell his face expression mirrored 'yes'.
He worked together with Natsumiya; his niece. That foolish girl obeyed all his words any senses of humanity. That's why I broke up and severed my ties with her, but I still have no idea about Harley and their plan. Yurie thought disgustedly, 'Humanity? You yourself don't have humanity."
Yurie then put her both hands on her head like crazy. "What kind of a** is this? I can't believe that stupid is actually- ah.."
Shega Hariga took a breath, filling each gap of minutes with silence. "Now you know the reason, I'll take my leave." His mahogany eyes seems expressionless as he stood up. "Tell SooYang- oh, no need." His pain crossed the meadow of words. Yurie only put her gaze on her painty fingernails. She spotted the pain on Shega Hariga's eyes when he eyed JinHua. "Take care. T-thanks for the information." JinHua only give Shega Hariga a decent smile, and Yurie bid him farewell.
She doesn't know how many times it has turned like this; she would be angry on him and at the end would grateful over him. She didn't know how long those all would stay. 'Perhaps this is the last, I hope.'
Both of them eyed the tall figure away, and watched each other in anxiousness and pity.

"It's no need to tell I bullied you to protect you." he said, believing one day, world would tell the truth. He painfully drove his car away with a smile.. a happy smile. Finally, he could be someone who could protect her and be her shield, even in afar.
