"Leader Soha…? Is that Leader Soha?!"
The man with the blonde hair pointed his finger to the dark shadow that was emerging from the downpour. They had no idea what had prompted such an unexpected nod of approbation.
"Soha…?" Suji said, sounding surprised, in a low voice. They had no idea she would be back so quickly. They all hustled out right away and froze before they could get close to her.
"So-Soha, why are you holding Teagan? Is…Is she tired, Soha? Wake her up, Soha. Wake her up."
Ha-rin asked inquiries, but she didn't respond. She was helpless to do more than cry out while standing there. She may have quickly been estranged from everything. Reality has left her with that, even if she doesn't want to accept it. As it is, she cannot respond to any of the questions posed by others.
"Why…why are you crying, Soha, huh?"
"I'm sorry…, Ha-rin… I'm sorry."
Aside from Ha-rin Everyone started to shriek out in agony. Ha-rin was in a state of dis and was unable to accept real time. Refusing to condone Teagan's death, she grumbled. Erratically, she fell to the asphalt. She barely embodied the flood of emotions as she tightly clenched her shirt. She gave a tranquil gasp and gave Soha a stern gaze.
"Remember. You're the reason for Teagan's death! You're the reason for my love's DEATH!"
She gasped, enabling the tears trickle to her chin. subjugating her wants to speak vehemently at Soha. Even though her psyche was pierced she was unable to relinquish her leader's reverence, even if not much was left.
Though horrified, Soha said nothing since even she was putting the blame for Teagan's passing on herself. She acknowledged that it was her cause, deep down. She was unable to save her partner in her capacity as a leader.
"Ha-rin!" Before Suji could express her rage at Ha-rin for treating her Leader disrespectfully, Soha intervened.
Like a phoenix emerging from the flames, Ha-rin rose. She held onto Teagan from Soha and turned to go, giving Soha a nasty glare in return.
"You failed to protect Teagan, Soha! You're a failure! Failure like you doesn't deserve my respect!"
Though they seemed sincere, those words were razor sharp. Soha suffered irreversible injuries to her heart from the blades. She barely got to her feet before collapsing and allowing the rain to cry with her. Allow it to cleanse her face. Her member had severely broken her.
"Ha-rin! Ha-rin! Stop, I said stop, Ha-rin!"
"Let her go, Suji."
"But…-"
"Shh!"
...…
"Is your leg feeling better now?"
"Yeah. Thank you, Suji."
Soha sat up on her bed and looked around. "Searching for Ha-rin?" Suji inquired while peeling off the apple. Cut it off into pieces and handed over one to Soha.
"She will not come, right?"
"She will. After all, you're the only one for her." Suji said with a bitter smile on her face. Soha didn't respond and remained quiet.
"I want to see her."
"She will become more violent if you go now. Let the funeral finish first."
"Funeral… Okay."
Suji put an apple dish on the table next to Soha's bed and then left the room. Her grasping hands reinforced a hold on her collar as her face darkened. She started to inhale deeply, contemplating the Teagan's passing. It sounded very lonely in her room.
As she was leaving, she noticed Ayesha lounging behind a banyan tree, deep in discussion with someone. She didn't want to hear Ayesha's questionable discussion, so she stood far away from her. Soha was perplexed by Ayesha's hand gesture; she was extending her hands as though she were describing a location or something else entirely.
"Ayesha…" Soha remained silent for a moment before calling her out, asking herself, "Well, what is Ayesha doing here? What time did she appear with my members?
inevitably, she had an inkling that Ayesha wasn't here for the right motives. She may be plotting something for which Soha was not briefed.
She advanced towards Ayesha. She placed her hand on Ayesha's shoulder rather than addressing her by name. Ayesha gave a start and looked around, her eyes widening with fear.
"Soha?!"
"What are you doing here? What made you jolt so much?"
"Arm… Nevermind. Can't you just call my name?"
"You were in a serious conversation. So I didn't."
That act was done on purpose but She made an excuse which was acceptable by Ayesha. Soha is surely up to something crazy. That beats me.
"I see. By the way, what do you need from me?"
"Answers to my questions."
"Ask then."
"Why did you follow my companions here? What are you up to now?"
"I just wanna help them out. There's nothing more than that, Soha."
"Then, why didn't you leave yet? Your work is done, right?"
"Ah… Haha. I will… I will leave soon. Ah- please mind me, I've to take my call."
She quickly made her way to the funeral location while wearing a black suit and a black mask over half of her face. selected a little bunch of white flowers and proceeded to the location, where Ha-rin and everyone else had already arrived. When Soha was going to offer flowers, she remained silent and Ha-rin gripped her hand tightly.
"Ha-rin…?"
"You're not supposed to do this! You mean nothing to her, Soha!"
"What?" Soha was left stunned and unable to respond. Soha soon broke the quiet, saying, "...Okay, Ha-rin." She is only putting up with this insult because, deep down, she believes that she is too responsible for Teagan's passing. Soha's tolerance lasted this long because of her respect for Ha-rin's close connection with Teagan, despite the fact that Ha-rin was constantly hurting Soha with her piercing remarks and insulting her.
As the funeral was getting underway, Soha stood apart from the crowd, clutching her wrist with one hand while feeling terrible and under strain. They all consoled Ha-rin to be strong and laid flowers on Teagan's tomb. When it was all over, Soha was the only person remaining. As Ha-rin was walking past Soha, she stopped as soon as she said,
"Go. Meet my dead girlfriend."
Stunning Soha remained silent and released Ha-rin. She was simply gazing silently at the picture of Teagan. Soha couldn't help but grin at her lovely, charming smile. However, she quickly wiped it off and turned to face her bouquet.
"I will offer it from you, Soha."
"Thank you, Suji…"
Soha said in a low, quiet tone. She could hardly look Ha-rin in the eye, much less converse with her. All of this brought her to tears once more. When she realises that she doesn't have the moon to wipe her tears away, they will fall from her eyes like stars. Take a peek at her lovely cry. A powerful Hoo-doo guy such as herself, who had never shown emotion in this way, was crying uncontrollably tonight. Who is going to realise that it was never her fault, with her gold-like heart? She was human, just like everyone else. The distinction is that she comes from a world where individuals like humans don't exist.
"Soha, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm alright. When will we finally leave this jungle, then?"
"This evening. Everything is ready, already. We're going to depart on the night train, which departs at 10:00 p.m."
"Well thought out, Suji."
"Suji," when they were to part ways and take different routes. Suji stopped and turned to face Soha, who had a calm, sorrowful expression on her face. "If I were to leave this group one day, would you take over?" She turned to face Suji, who was both astounded and dumbfounded.
"Huh?..."
