Chapter 6: Touya!
Hikaru almost had a heart attack. Friends? With Him? With Ko-Yongha? Ko-Yongha ?
" Shindou? "
" Sorry, I have to go, " Hikaru placed his money on the table," Goodbye," he left leaving Yongha sitting alone with his chocolate cake and his hot chocolate.
It's up to him now, I have to let him go.
Following his instinct, the next thing Hikaru knew was he's now standing in front of his house.
" I'm home,"
"Welcome home, you're home early today," his mom greeted in surprise.
" Ah, yeah, " he answered," I'll be in my room."
" I'll call you when dinner's ready,"
" Okay,"
He lay down, Yongha's explanation was still running inside his head as he tried to gather all the data. This is too much, I'm getting a headache. He wants to be my friend? Is he trying to imply that I should forget about this and forgive him? Well , it's just a misunderstanding after all .But he did insult Shusaku in public.
" What should I do, Sai? " the boy asked his goban as if it could reply him, " If only you were here," Asking the goban for the second time, " Why did you leave me? " All memories of Sai flashed in his mind. Forgive or not forgive? Sai?
" Hikaru, dinner's ready..y," his mom song.
" Coming,"
At dining table,
Shindou Mitsuko was very good at cooking. Her delicious dinner helped Hikaru became more…tranquil.
" Ne, mom"
" Yes?"
" If someone pisses you off.. no..if someone does something…very bad thing..and it makes you hate him..What would you do if he comes to apologize you and asks you for your forgiveness?"
" What did you do this time?" Glaring him hard, she asked her son with a dangerous tone.
"No..o,no, I didn't do anything,..just asking..As a study case!" he said defensively.
"….."
" Nothing, just forget it."
" It depends." Finally, she answered.
" On what?"
" First, It's the question of who, who is that person, is it you? Your dad? Your grandpa? My friends? My cousins? Or someone else?"
What is Ko-Yongha to me? Definitely not my friend, my rival?..my acquaintance..no..he's not different from others pros who play against me….Yeah! he's just another pro I hate.
"…the closer we are, the easier I can forgive."
"Right,"
" Then, it's the what question ,what's that bad thing we're talking about? How serious and how bad it is?"
"And it depends on his intention. Is it just an accident or he does that on purpose?"
" What's about a misunderstanding?"
"..Hmm.. that's hard too.. it's something between intention and accident."
"….."
" The last factor is how sincere he is when he apologizes. He really means it? Or just saying that,"
….I don't know….
" Hikaru"
" Yes?"
" Is it just a study case?"
"……"
"….Okay, let me tell you this, when it comes to misunderstanding, it's no one's fault. It doesn't change the truth that he has done something bad. But the question is what you're going to do next? Keep on hating him or forgive him, there're only 2 choices," her voice was solemn," When we hate someone, we only see his bad side."
"….."
" Mom"
" Hum?"
" Thank you..for dinner," Hikaru put down his chopsticks, " I'll go to my room now."
Hikaru lay down again, still confusing. She implied that I should forgive him but should I? What would Sai do?...that guy is far too good. He's never hated anybody, he'll forgive him…No..Sai would never been angry at him from the first place.
….When we hate someone, we only see his bad side.
Friends?…..By the way,did I forget something?
"Touya!"
