Chapter 78: In the Corner of the Garden

Takahashi has a perplexing expression on his face and is staring at me. "Wait, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you're talking about. What exactly is going on here? Is this a joke? Please explain, and do you know about this, Katsumi? I'm confused "he stated I understand how perplexing it is, especially considering we communicate too much and he will only find out tomorrow that I am backing a girl who wishes to court her. "As you can see, Bara, my diamond knight, wants you to be your lover and wants you to know how she feels about you as soon as possible. You don't have to be concerned right now because she won't hurry you and is prepared to wait for you to reciprocate her feelings, so all you have to do is be yourself "I explained myself.

"No, that doesn't mean I don't want to be with you, Bara," he explained, "but please, I just lost my wife and my kid." Bara took his hand in hers and said "I understand, and you don't have to be concerned because I can wait. Takahashi. I'll wait till you've recovered and are ready to love again. Please give my feelings some thought. I guarantee I'll make you feel the love I have reserved just for you, "she stated. He keeps staring at me, as if he's expecting a different response from me. He's probably trying to figure out what's wrong with me after what happened last night. Takahashi, if I know Bara feels this way about you, I won't do anything like that.

He maintains his composure, yet he continues to stare at me. We simply consume our meals and try to enjoy them. For the time being, I believe that is all I have to say. What matters is that Bara has already expressed her feelings to Takahashi. This is a great way to start the day. All I have to do now is ignore Takahashi and everything will be forgotten. All I can do now is hope that my feelings for him will fade away. I'm not sure how I'll forget about him, but I suppose there is a way. It was a really dangerous method to simply forget about him. I'm still debating whether or not I should go ahead with it. Is it worthwhile to give it a shot? I'm not sure. If I do it, it will have a significant impact on my life, and it is a very important topic that will require several days of consideration. I'm completely hopeless.

I complete my meal and decide to go to the garden since the silence around the dining table is oppressive, and Takahashi's look makes me uneasy. I get to my feet and bow to them. "Thank you for the delicious breakfast. I'm leaving right now. I'm just going to relax in the garden and get some fresh air. For the time being, please enjoy the food "I stated. I walk away, intending to go to the garden, but I realize Takahashi has also stood up and is following me.

I dash over to the garden. Fortunately, the garden is large and open, so I believe I will be able to hide from him here. I try to hide in a corner of the garden while checking to see if he's still following me. He's most likely here. He is nowhere to be found in the garden. Is he no longer following me? I assumed he was following me to the garden from behind. Well, it's better and better to know he didn't pursue me so I can relax in the garden. A man pulled me towards him just as I was going to cease peering around. He grabs my arms and pulls me in closer. Who is this man and why is he acting in this manner? I said, "Hey, let go of me." "Shh Don't make any noise "he stated When I look at him, all I see is Takahashi.

"You scare me, bro," I said. He let go of my arms. He's undoubtedly aware that he can't hold me in that position without my permission. We're hidden and no one can see us because we're on the side of the garden that isn't visible to others. "Can you tell me why you're following me?" I inquired. I attempt to maintain a professional demeanor with him, as if he is my subordinate and I am his superior. "Is there anything you require? Do you have any spare time at work? What can I do to assist you?" I stated. "I'm really confused right now," he says, looking at me. I'm perplexed as well. I'm perplexed as to why I'm acting this way toward you. I wish I could tell you and explain why I'm acting this way toward you, but I simply can't.

He asked, "Can you answer my question?" "Without a doubt. I am happy to answer any work-related questions you may have "I stated. As I pretend to be dumb and believe that everything he does and thinks is about work, I can feel his annoyance in his eyes. "This isn't about work, Katsumi. It's all about us "he stated Didn't he just say it's all about us? Is he bothered that Bara likes him and that he thinks I like him as well? "You want to chat about something other than work, right? Is it something to do with your wife? Go ahead and talk about it "I stated. "It's also not about her. Also, please refrain from involving her. I'm curious as to why you're acting so strangely. You have a completely different demeanor now than you did yesterday."

"Oh yesterday, are you talking about what happened last night?" I inquired. He inhales deeply and begins to feel sorry for himself. "Are you toying with my emotions, Katsumi? Is it your intention to make fun of me? Are you attempting to play with my feelings? You simply knocked on my door last night to console me. Stop claiming that it's just another dialogue between a boss and her employee; that's not how it works. Then I'll just wake up thrilled to see you and talk to you, and I'm sure you'll feel the same way, but you're only there to push me to another person, "he stated. I'm not sure how I'm going to explain things to him right now. I hope I can make up for what I did.

"Katsumi, I may have been naïve about love in the past. You may think I'm stupid and clueless, but I'm not the same person I used to be. I've already started learning. Katsumi, I'm still thinking about what you did last night. Do you despise me? "He inquired. I will never be able to dislike a man like him. I wish I could keep him for the rest of my life. Takahashi I'm sorry, but I don't want to be selfish and take away Bara's opportunity to have you. "Takahashi, I apologize if you believe that. I don't hate you, and I don't see why I should. You are a very nice guy who is also very dependable at work. I'm glad you're giving it all despite the difficulties you're having right now "I stated.

"Why did you do such a thing last night if you don't dislike me? If you think that way about me, it's unthinkable that it's just a play with phony acting "He inquired. He went on to say, "Could it be that you like me?" He has the impression that I like him. I'm sure he's not mistaken, but I can't tell him just now. I'm relieved that, even though I didn't tell him, he is aware of my feelings. "What exactly are you referring to? Please don't misunderstand me. I am sorry for your loss of your wife and daughter. Knowing how much you like Saki, I'm sure you're struggling to accept her loss as well. I want you to get better from the misery you're in, but it doesn't imply I like you. I'm doing it for you as well, "I explain.

"You're speaking as though this is a new boss-employee interaction. Why do you keep denying everything and attempting to manipulate me as if you weren't being honest with me the night before? You were so close to me last night, and we hugged while talking about myself, and now you're acting like this. This is ridiculous "he stated We heard a yell coming from our direction. "Katsumi! Takahashi! Where have you gone?" Bara screamed. Bara is looking for us, and she can't see us that we're talking like this in a setting like this. She might be perplexed as to why I'm conversing with Takahashi in the garden's far corner. She will see us now, but it is too late. I have to keep my cool. Takahashi tries to grab my arms, but I keep yanking them away.

"Takahashi, what are you up to?" I stated. "We haven't finished discussing it yet. We still have to conceal, and we can't be disturbed "he stated I understand his feelings, but it will be horrible for us right now if Bara sees us together at a place where no one will see us. "Can't you see that Bara will notice us," I replied, "So quit trying to pull me elsewhere with your arms". He added, "We need to conceal and we don't have time, so let's leave." I'd like to speak with him again, but we're running out of time. Bara said, "Hey there you are." Takahashi had my arms in his and was attempting to drag me away. This is terrible, and I'm not sure how I'm going to explain it to Bara. This is a complete disaster. "Takahashi is also here with you. So, what exactly are you doing to her?" she asked
