Chapter 4. Pain.

Walking down, Sasa, Mira, and Marou looked at Haku with a complicated gaze as they had seen a miracle, Haku finishing that bento 9 layers alone... Three of them were able to finish a single while they felt stuffed with that they had a common thought 'A chow down.'

Haku looked at them, as he knew what they were thinking and asked: "What's with the look, I know I am a chow down, but look I do a lot exercise and practice family martial art too, so it is common for me to have large appetite Ya know."

"Oh, family martial art you said, that's awesome since I always wanna practice it to become some kind of hidden master and all, He-ha- Hu," Marou spoke as he looked at Haku and said, with few comical stunts which alleviated the tension of the party.

Mira smiled as she recalls back the time Marou was lowkey and the one standing in front of her now seemed to have grown up and had a different vibe he usually carried... The reason was the guy by her side... Haku's personality changes the other around him, which is a perfect match for Sasa's personality.

"Oh, but you see... I am a hidden master in truth and have learned to fight in 27 different types of martial arts too." Haku smiled as he proclaimed with a glint, which made the trio laughed together.

People look at them as they whispered.

'Hey isn't that Sasa, from first-year section B along with her friend Mira, but who are those two guys.'

'Hmm, you are right, how unexpected to see them walking... with a boy. Wait are they dating among them.'

'No way, who is dating our Maiden princess, I don't believe it... Whaaat! damn those two.'

'What are you guys blind or what, that guy is new and Sasa must be guiding them around.'

'All boys are Idiots, they always are hopeless one, to begin with.'

Entering the class Sasa asked Haku, "Ichijo- Kun, mind-changing seat with Mira if you don't mind." which drew boys and girls in the class attention, Haku looked at Sasa while he nodded since he felt her feeling unsettled and disturbed, and wished if she could rely on him for her worries.

Haku sat by her side as he looked directly at her, which made her a little conscious of Haku action and turn her head in fluster, At this point, Haku confirmed that she was feeling unsettled and he gripped his hand in order to calm his mind when he spoke: "It's better to talk to someone, and if you find no one listening to your worry, then please take the liberty to talk to me, that's the last thing I can do is listen to you."

Sasa turned to look at Haku who had been smiling at her, As she shook her head while she looked at the blackboard as she tried to concentrate on the lesson but she couldn't, Haku realized it and started staring at Sasa for a while she started to turn to look in his eyes full of complaint and bitterness, He still stared her with 'Tell me already.' gaze which put Sasa little heart at a spot full of complicated feeling.

Soon the period was finally over and Sasa had no option but to look at Haku who had been staring at her continuously since then, She smiled and opened a book as she tried to defect that she was reading some problem but Haku was Irritated as he slammed his hand on the table as he stood up.

Sasa was surprised as she looked up and saw Haku smiling widely at her, his hand held her forcefully as he looked determined and pulled her.

other class member's expression was fascinating as they screamed 'So manly.'

While girl evaluation of the situation was very different as their hearts screamed with the only thing 'How cool and yet handsome.'

"We will skip this class, let's go to the rooftop, I had a thing to ask from you, and don't think about turning me down, since I will still drag you there if needed." Haku forcefully commented as he looked at Sasa, who held a blush but she still nods with her head to his response.

Holding her hand Haku walked out of the class as they both walked toward the stair while Sasa gradually looked at Haku with unknown feeling inside her heart."Now then let me hear, what is inside your heart which had been bothering you this much, let me be clear I don't want to look at that depress face of yours since it matters me the most."

Sasa feeling bust forth as she looked at Haku 'It matters me the most.' as she felt her vision blur as she confesses.

"Mira, she is avoiding me, since there is a boy I held some feeling for and Mira always said she has the wrong opinion of him, today we pointed out our opinion and after some time, she asked me to ask you for seats."

"She said she had some feeling for your friend but it was not all the reason behind it and I can guess Kajama- Kun is the reason why she left, what should I do Haku."

"I don't wanna lose either of them, since they are very important to me, but most I don't want to lose Mira friendship."

"You like that boy right," Haku asked as he looked at Sasa, Sasa looked up and nodded while she looked at Haku expression who had still warm and his smile seemed wider with which he nodded and pondered.

"Are you sure your friend left you for that minor reason, and If I were in her shoes, I would try to protect you from that guy instead of abandoning you like that."

"Given Mira character, I think she is the latter one and if not fully true her word might be right too, given... she does like Marou since you didn't notice but they seemed to be in sync during the lecture as they were talking, maybe because they had feeling behind their talk."

Sasa was startled as she looked at Haku and ponder, while his word seemed to be correct when she failed to notice Haku expression as a tear fall down his eyes as he thought 'What's with this tear why did you run out of my eyes, Hmm, what wrong with me.'

"Maybe you are right, Haku- Kun." Sasa turned to spoke as she saw Haku turning away as he hid his expression.

"Sorry, I remember something and wanna go quickly..." with that word which had some choking sound behind he left away, leaving behind Sasa who looked at leaving Haku as she tried to say something but for some reason, she was unable to say it out loud.

Haku ran as he jumped down the stairs and ran straight to the school gardening club area while he hid behind the wall as he wiped his tear from the corner of his eyes as he looked at his phone and called.

"Hello, what happen my boy."

"Mom."

Chitoge on the other side felt a piercing pain coming f

"What happened, tell me I help you."

"Mom, I feel like suffocating inside my lungs, while my heart is squeezing hard like it wants to stop from beating, just by recalling a memory of someone," Haku explained, As Chitoge on the other side held her tear when Onodera sighed resounded, Chitoge turned to look at Onodera who smiled and pointed something.

"Why it feels so painful, when I am helping someone mom, I can't reason out my feeling right now."

"Listen carefully, I know the reason but you had found it out yourself and listen to me when recalling the promise you made to me."

Listen to your heart, Always listen to your heart, at moment like this."

"Heart, It seems my first love is not so good, since she already had fallen for someone already."

//- I can only imagine,

how it is to be with you. -//

Haku thought back as he recalls her face when she confirms her feeling.

//- From that time I saw your face,

I knew this love was true -//

Her smile when she thought of that person, kept buzzing in his heart and mind.

//- But you're already taken,

nothing I can do -//

Haku shook his head as he walked lonely toward the gate, as his eyes reveal different emotions.

//- So I can only Imagine,

How it is to be with you. -//

What my heart wants is to see her smile even she is with someone else, is this truly love then how troublesome it is...
