[2] The Second Love || PJ&RP

CHAPTER 240: I know who you are

Haruto stood in place with his eyes closed. Darkness was all he could see but his ears were still listening to movements.

One....

Two....

Three....

.....

His brows burrow together. Wasn't Mike's lunch suppose to reach him by now? Or... can it be that he was punched so hard he died?

Feeling something is not right, he slowly open one eye and was dumbfounded.

"..."

Mike stood in the same spot, only difference was this time he had both his arms crossed over his chest. Acting like he didn't Haruto's eye open, he nod his head.

"Now brothers! Get him!!"

*splaaaaaashhh!!!*

Haruto : "..."

"Ahahahh—!!"

A bucket of ice cold water was poured on Haruto, making him froze in place. Both his eyes open and he stare ahead of him loss of all words ever known to him.

Everyone burst into laughter. Junkyu looks at Haruto and he shook his head.

Mike laughed so hard, he nearly fell but steadied himself. Clearing his throat, he walks up to Haruto and headlocks him.

"Bro, did you honestly think I'd punch you over something so small? Haha!"

"....."

Haruto's expression held mix emotions of confusion and disbelief. He didn't care that the water was freezing cold, he at this moment could put the pieces together.

Soobin walks up to Haruto and Mike. Following behind him was Yeonjun. He laughs at how sorry Haruto looked.

"Bro, even if you had doubted us, we could careless."

Yeonjun nods his head in agreement, "We've all been your shoes when we first came here."

Seeing Haruto's confused expression, Mike rubs the boy's head and he laughs loudly.

"Here."

A sudden hand holding a towel appears in front of Haruto. He takes the towel and turn his head to the person.

Junkyu sighed, "A simple thank you would be very generous."

Lowering his head, Haruto faintly smiles, "Thanks."

Looking at the two boys, Mike laughs even more. He felt like he was watching a husband and wife quarrel about life.

Using the towel to dry his hair, Haruto looks at each person standing beside him, "I'm really sorry for doubting everyone."

One of the older soldiers laughs and pats Haruto on the back, "Sorry for what? We are brothers before we are soldiers. Things like this happen all the time."

Hearing these words, Haruto lower his head more. He held in the urge to cry. He had really thought he was all alone, but now he understood.

He understood the reason why Rosè Han brought him here. Everyone here might have had different lives, but they all share one thing in common.

And that is, the feeling of wanting a family.

As he thought of this, he looks at everyone again. These people were strangers to him, yet, who would ever think that these strangers would end up being his brothers from now on...

Within time, everyone glance to one another. Thinking of foolish they must be looking right now, in a big roar all together, they laughed to their hearts content.
