Chapter 24: Korosaku Lee

"So, what's your plan? You don't expect me to agree and team up with you without hearing the details, right?"

"Yeah.. I'll tell you first why Shira and I got into this point."

Huh? you're starting from that?.. Seriously, you're kidding, right? I mean, I didn't even want to hear it, what I wanted to hear was your plan, sigh...

Korosaku sat on the worn out bench and looked at me, then tapped the other side of the bench as if inviting me to sit next to him, but I ignored that sign and just leaned on the wall, while crossing my arms, I glanced over Naruki and see her with the two guys, She's busy on her Ipad and the two guys are only there, staring at her.

"So...Uhm.. I'll start now." Korosaku looked down on the ground and sighed heavily as if he was about to tell his story to the world, then I see him grabbed his trembling fingers and tried to calm down.

Whatever, let's just heard him out, I'm a bit curious why this guy has become pathetic like this.

As Korosaku continued, he began to tell his own damn story.

According to him, To summarize everything he told me, Here is what he explained: After I dropped out of school the teacher notified the principal on what happened to me and so Shira and his gang's doing is about to be exposed at that time.

when the principal had taken an action to prevent such thing to happen again, so I guess he looked into it, hoping, may be to eradicate the source of the problem, so there won't be anything like that to ruin the reputation of school. Shira, Korosaku and the others were tracked by the school teachers through other students who witness it.

When they were about to be asked by the school administrators, Shira stood for herself and act like she was also one of the victims and claimed that me, her boyfriend suffer thoroughly from Korosaku and others(Well, that's true but hearing the fact that she used my name like it was nothing pissed me off!),

"And..Uhmm." Korosaku bit his lips and continued.

"She also claimed that she was forced to be with us to satisfy our sexual desires. As what we weren't expecting, the other students who admired her side with her and confirm the relationship you have with her and so all of us got expelled from the school, out parents also got a scolding from school and she got excluded from all of that, including the expulsion...."

Just listening to this guy made my blood boils, Since that bitch got away from the things she did without even having a remorse from what she have done to me and more importantly she used me as an excuse, What a fucking bitch!

"But that didn't stop there, When we tried to get in touch with her, she didn't even look at us and explained something, instead she called someone who seems her new guy that she's dating, that bulky guy came at us and injured us, because of that I was confine in the hospital for a longer time. When I got out of the hospital, all of the other guys stop getting involved with her and tugged their tail on between their legs, but I'm not the same! I just can't forgive her! She did something wrong so SHE needs To Deserve SOME PUNISHMENT, RIGHT?.." Korosaku stared at me with a terrifying face as if he was insane that just got out of the rehabilitation.

This guy, Has he already Lost his mind? Don't tell me since he entered the hospital and got out of it he onlu have one purpose? And that is... Revenge.

"Hahahahah!.." I laughed, then I placed my hands on his shoulder, I leaned my mouth on his ears, and whispered. "That's right, that girl deserve to be punished."

Then I noticed that he smiled and laughed for a brief moment, sigh I'm glad! I'm glad!

I screamed into my mind, Why? I am thankful that I didn't became like this guy, I'm not insane person, my life doesn't only revolve on Shira or some sort of revenge, By only having that kind of mind is too narrow minded.

But I still have lingering hatred feelings for her and I can't seem to get it off my heart, I already sealed and tried to forget them but I guess it is really not a good way to believe to that phrase that " Ignorance is bliss" I mean if that is really a bliss why am I feeling some shit! Now I know that ignoring is not gonna solve it, then the only way to solve it is to face it. After all you can't just past an examination just by just staring and ignoring it and let time past, the only way to pass it is to answer it.

"I got the gist of the reason why you want to get revenge on her but, what exactly is your plan?" I asked indifferently and stared at him, then he smiled again.

"I'll give you the details later, The only thing I need to do is to infiltrated the system of the school so after your girlfriend did the hacking, we'll take our move and let you in."

I guess he has a plan, huh. Girlfriend? Maybe he's referring to Naruki.

"I think she can do that easily if you give her time."

"Well, if that's the case, I'll wait for you to contact me..." He stood and called his two studs.

"Let's meet later," He waved his hand and "I'll be counting on you." Him and the other two disappeared in the alley as if nothing has happened.

They're really weird for me...

***

"So, I came all the way here because I got worried over nothing and it seems like you're the one who extorted them."

"Well, they're the one who come to me first so I deal with them."

"Even so, you shouldn't do that...."

"...What if you weren't able to deal with them and something happened to you?" I heavily sighed upon sitting next her on the bench.

Then she leaned next to me and whispered: "So, you're worried about me, I'm so happy."

"Tsk.. I'm not worried about you." I b

pushed her shoulder that tried to interlock with mine.

Now, that I think about it, isn't this a bit confusing, why did I get worried about a girl? Is it because I'm scared to embroiled others onto my past? Scared to let them know my past self or.... Idiot, that's not it! It's because it's Naruki, although I know her as a boy before, we're still that Naruki and Matsuki who has a good friendship before, may be....maybe I'm just afraid to lose someone again in my life. I couldn't even imagine how would I feel if I lose someone I value today. If ever something happened like that, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.... But I hope everything turns out well till the end, Korosaku just showed up suddenly, so I guess I wouldn't be surprised if everyone of them showed up next, they're now appearing again in my life, I guess it's time... It's time to face the reality and face them head on now, If I can do that, maybe I can get through life much easier and face the past that can't be erased.

As I silently sat on the bench, Naruki cuddled to me with her bright smiled on her face as if it was her normal job.
