98 The Island 3 (2/2)

”He was bleak yet wacky just like this guy.” Rei Ishii pointed his finger to Crazy Kei. He chuckled while shrugging.

”It was puberty, please don't mind him, Dear,” Han assured Tereza with his pleading tone. He had enough with this nonsense. He didn't want Tereza's mind to get contaminated from their baloney.

'No sh*t puberty.' She thought. Tereza was quite confused with this absurdness. She didn't need this explanation about his personality in the past. She pretty much could guess from his mental illness which let him like that.

What she wanted to know, how they thought about Han. 'Were' they treated him as a friend? Or 'are' they treat him as a friend now?

Han suddenly held her right hand and said, ”No need to ask them again.”

”Eh? I didn't get my chance yet!” Jo Miura said with lifting his eyebrows. Han was trying to stop him to say nothing as well as Tereza who had pretty much figured what he will say about him, yet unexpected from them, Jo Miura started to talk, ”At first, I thought he was a little hoggish and quiet. He liked to do everything alone and workaholic. Especially when we first met. Our first impression was the worst. Although he was like that, he was someone who cares about his comrades and good with his family. He told me how he loves his family and didn't want to disappoint them anymore. He's a filial son and solitary person, I respect him because of that. So, for me, he's a brother and friend. Well, that's how I see~”

'Oh wow, finally one person describing him for real. He turned out as deep thinker person.' Her thought about Jo Miura slightly improved.

”Oi, oi, I know Han treats you better than two of us. Don't boast him to his wife. She needs to know how bad he is! From past and now too!” Crazy Kei jokingly said it.

Rei Ishii smirked and said, ”Well, I think his wife know about him already. Although she didn't saw his bad side directly, isn't right, Sarah-san?”

Tereza nodded slowly with a smile. The Han Tereza knew was someone who was a good husband to her and easy to bully. Maybe she could share her feeling the same as them. She loved teasing at Han and playing a prank at him, while his reaction was something she could imagine for to be, so it's always fun! But never did she saw his other bad side beside anger.

Well, add a plus to another expression when it comes to their s*x.

Han was speechless and didn't hear Rei Ishii questioning his wife. He was still thinking about Jo's thought about him.He knew how his relationship with Jo Miura was a good friend but this was the first time he heard directly Jo described him.

Did he feel a little touched? He didn't understand, it was a tingling feeling.

Han met him again after established HJ company and Jo came as his first business partner. It was shocking for Han. How could a famous agent like him abandoned his job and run a company? He knew every people had their freedom to choose and live. So, he didn't wonder too long and casually greet him as an old friend.

They reminisce about the past, how Jo saved his life and he felt thankful with that. How Jo practiced and done a lot of mission with him until he finally graduated from military school. Since then they lost contact until he introduced himself as a business partner four years later.

One day, he asked about Han story after he graduated from military school. He wanted to know what happened to him in a high school year. Jo was regretful after he was doing his mission that he didn't ask him to keep in touch.

Jo Miura heard a lot of his stories when he was in high school and he didn't know what to say. He even didn't realize that Han was trouble with double personality at all! He was dumbstruck of course, but it was interesting for him as well. He loved unique people!

He didn't laugh when Han told him about his problem one day. Jo could see Han's pale face and his quivering tone. As his brother and friend, he could only help him by listening to the part of his story. Especially the story of how he got his illness. Also about his grandmother.

Jo could feel sympathized.

Another thought about Han, he was someone who held debt to people. If he felt owing something, he would keep that feeling until he satisfied and turn to naught. But, it never ever did succeed. Just like with his parent, Crazy Kei and Jo Miura as well.

The next day, Han along with Tereza and Ringo to see Han's gifts to Tereza. After Han finished showed his to Tereza, she felt thankful and couldn't help to excite.

When they were finished, Han brought Tereza to her promised land. It was a wide grassland and he checked the place previously. It was perfect for her future plan and also their picnic plan right now.

The three of them came to the place while the servants were waiting for them outside the area. They brought a picnic set and a camera because the place which Han chose had a good view of the ocean. Tereza was awed by the sight.

When they arrived at the picnic spot, she could see grassland and trees everywhere. It was refreshing to see. The family took a picture together and laying down in the mats which they place on the ground. They stared at the clear blue sky.

They were side by side enjoying the breeze and didn't realize how their eyes started to feel drooping. They took a nap together.

After a couple of minutes, Tereza woke up with an odd feeling. She looked at her hands and her right side. he got up from Han's hand lap and she searched around her. Han opened his eyes from startling movement. He asked her 'what's wrong?'

Tereza's face was haggard. She gazed at his eyes with teary looks. She shouted with quivering tone, ”Ringo is missing!”
