Chapter 529: Haruna’s Jealousy
Haruna’s voice quivered as she spoke, her tears falling more freely now. "I’m really happy for you, Hannah. Truly, I am," she said, her voice breaking slightly. "It’s just... I never thought I’d feel this way. I always imagined we’d find happiness together, you know?"
Hannah’s eyes softened with empathy as she spoke in a gentle, soothing tone. "Haruna, we will. You’ll find someone who brings you just as much happiness. And until then, we’ll always be here for you, always by your side, no matter what."
Haruna nodded, tears streaming down her face as she struggled to smile through her pain. Her voice was shaky, filled with a mix of sadness and gratitude. "I know, Hannah. I know you mean well. It’s just hard, you know? Seeing you so happy makes me realize how lonely I’ve been feeling lately. It’s like a weight on my chest, a constant reminder of what I don’t have."
I reached out, placing a comforting hand on Haruna’s shoulder. My voice was filled with warmth and support, trying to convey the depth of my care for her. "Haruna, your time will come. And until then, we’re here for you. You’re not alone in this. We’ll stand by you, through thick and thin."
Haruna looked up at me, her eyes filled with gratitude and a deep, unspoken pain. She took a shaky breath, trying to compose herself. "Thank you, Jack. It means a lot to hear that. I just need some time, I think. To process everything, to heal and find my way again."
Hannah leaned in, wrapping an arm around Haruna’s shoulders. Her voice was filled with love and reassurance, a steady presence in the midst of Haruna’s turmoil. "Take all the time you need, Haruna. We’re not going anywhere. We’ll be here, waiting and supporting you every step of the way."
Haruna’s tears continued to fall, her voice barely above a whisper. She clung to us, drawing strength from our presence. "Thank you both. I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re my rocks, my safe haven in this storm."
Suddenly, Yuko and Julie entered with snacks and saw Haruna crying. Yuko’s face darkened with concern and anger as she asked, "What happened?"
Hannah glanced at me, her eyes blaming me as I heard her thoughts, loud and clear. [Jack, this bastard must have teased Haruna... and the way she looks at Jack is the same way my mom and I do. She definitely loves him like me... How could he do this to her? To us?]
Hannah turned to Yuko, her voice steady but her eyes betraying her inner turmoil. "It’s nothing. Haruna is just happy that I have a boyfriend now, and she is worried I will forget about her. She is happy at the same time, but it’s a bittersweet happiness, you know?"
Hearing this, I noticed Yuko’s expression change, her eyes narrowing as she looked at me with a mix of concern and suspicion. Her thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, a dangerous cocktail of love and anger. [It must be because she feels bad... I don’t know why I feel like Haruna likes Jack... and yesterday I caught her looking at Jack’s photos... and then she locked herself in the room... She’s been acting strange lately, distant and lost in thought.]
Yuko’s thoughts spiraled out of control, a dangerous mix of anger and concern. [How dare he? He must have done something to her. I can see it in her eyes. She’s hurting, and it’s all because of him. I can’t believe this. I need to do something.]
[ I can’t let Haruna be sad like this. She’s my little sister, and I need to protect her. No matter the cost, no matter the consequences.]
Yuko suddenly asked Hannah, her voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and anger, a dangerous edge to her words. "Hannah, who is your boyfriend? He must be a lucky one... to have you, to have your love and trust."
Hannah suddenly hugged my arm, her voice filled with pride and affection, a stark contrast to the tension in the room. "He is right here... Jack is my boyfriend... and he’s a good man, Sister Yuko."
Yuko’s expression hardened, her thoughts a mix of anger and determination, a dangerous resolve settling in her heart. [Hmph... I knew it must be like this... I have to do something... I can’t let Haruna be sad... she is my little sister... If she wants Jack to be her boyfriend... I will make it happen... As for Hannah, I can only say sorry... But I need to protect Haruna. I can’t let her be hurt like this. Not ever.]
As I glanced at Yuko, I noticed a strange intensity in her gaze, as if she saw me as her prey or target, her eyes locked onto mine with an unsettling focus. She moved with deliberate slowness, gently placing the snacks she was holding onto the table, her movements precise and controlled.
Approaching Haruna, she wiped away her tears with a tender touch, her voice a mix of concern and something darker, more sinister. "Hmph... you scared your sister... I thought something terrible happened to you...." she said, her tone laced with an underlying current of anger.
Haruna, still trembling slightly, looked up at Yuko with a weak smile, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "Sister, I’m really fine... I didn’t mean to make you worried...." she whispered, her voice barely audible, filled with a mix of guilt and sadness.
Julie, noticing the tension and the unshed tears in Haruna’s eyes, knelt down beside her. She took Haruna’s hand in hers, her touch warm and reassuring. Her voice was gentle and soothing, a calming presence in the midst of the emotional storm.
"Haruna, it’s okay to feel this way. We all go through tough times, and it’s important to remember that it’s okay to lean on others when we need support. You don’t have to carry this burden alone."
I looked at Haruna, my heart aching for her as I heard her thoughts through our telepathic connection. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions, a mix of happiness for Hannah and a deep, gnawing sadness for herself.
[Jack has become Hannah’s boyfriend.... just like I wanted Jack to be with Hannah... that’s why I rejected him that day... but why do I feel jealous and sad... as if something mine was taken away....]Her thoughts were tinged with a sense of loss and longing, a pain that she was struggling to understand and come to terms with.
