He could understand Ryu's pain at that time and his father's too. Although he didn't like what happened on both sides, he and Ryu had decided to leave the past in the past. No need to peel open old wounds and hurt again.
"No Aito no," Haruto said, shaking his head. "You did nothing to him. You didn't do a single thing to hurt him and yet he hurt you. He hurt you to the extent that your mother had to fake your death."
Aito went pale.
So that was the reason they moved abroad? Because his death had to be faked so Ryu would not find him and kill him?
But then he thought of all the things that Ryu had done for him since they met again. The way Ryu protected him, the way Ryu took care of him, how much Ryu loves him.
A person who wants you dead will never shower you with so much love and care.
He wanted to trust Haruto but he also couldn't deny the things he had seen with his own eyes and the things he felt when Ryu was around.
