-Haruka POV-
"Oni-chan, to tell you the truth, I told Levi Ackerman that you're the one who saved his life five years ago." Hanabi's words made me fall silent. Hanabi looks down on the table.
"Hana-chan, why did you... when did you even meet him?" I don't know what to say anymore. There's too much I wanted to ask, and I'm too shocked.
"Two days ago. We coincidentally met and had a talk for a while." Her head is still down.
"What did you two talk about? Hanabi, look at me. I'm not going to get mad at you." I spoke softly, and she looked at me. I could sense she was feeling guilty.
"He asked me about Brother Liam and said, you guys have been together for quite some time until 8 years." I was taken aback by Hanabi's words. Just how much did Levi Ackerman investigate about me?
"Why didn't you tell me about that oni-chan?" Hanabi looks at me.
"I didn't mean to do that, Hana-chan. But you know, at that time, I'm still young, and I'm too scared to tell anyone that I'm gay." I answered honestly.
"No, it's okay, oni-chan. I understand. The thing is, you're not angry with me?" She sounded guilty, but I cannot blame her.
"I'm not angry, but why did you do that?" I asked her softly, I did not want her to get the wrong idea.
"It's just, he said, he should be thanking me because Hanaka oni-chan saved his life five years ago. I just cannot hide the truth anymore. Oni-chan, I'm a doctor too, and I don't like that feeling that I'm keeping a secret from the patient." Hanabi said, and I could sense the seriousness in her tone and face.
"I understand how you felt, Hana-chan. I'm sorry." Right now, I know I can't blame Hanabi for what she has said and done. The truth is, I'm the one at fault.
"Oni-chan, are you still in love with Louis?" Hanabi asked me, looking straight into my eyes. Her voice was actually a bit upset.
"I've been in love with Louis for two years now, and of course I still am. Why did you ask Hana-chan?" I asked her back. She looks at me and sighs.
"Oni-chan, I know you love him so much, I really do. But I think Louis is not the right one for you. Instead of Louis, I think Levi Ackerman is better, and he really loves you, oni-chan." Hanabi simply expressed everything she desired to say this time, which astounds me.
"Hanabi, what did Levi Ackerman tell you until you believed him like this? My voice raised a bit, but I really didn't mean it.
Hanabi was startled a bit, and her head looked down. I felt guilty. "Levi Ackerman didn't say anything to me about Louis. It just came from my own heart. I just wanted the best for you, oni-chan." Hanabi's words make me more confused. What is the best option for me? Be with Levi Ackerman?
"Hanabi, I'm sorry, but could you please just leave for now?" I said it softly. I do not want to hurt her feelings anymore.
"Oni-chan, I'm just..."
"Hana-chan, I just need some time alone. Please just leave for now." I cut her off before she could finish.
"I got it. I'm sorry, oni-chan." After saying that, she left the house.
"Why does everyone keep opposing the relationship between me and Louis?" I sighed, looking at the empty cup left by Hanabi.
I shouldn't do that to Hanabi. I felt regret and guilt for treating Hanabi like that. I'm not good enough as a brother after all.
My phone suddenly rang, indicating someone was calling. I look at my phone's screen, and that made me shocked for a second when I looked at the caller's name.
"Levi Ackerman"
What did he want right now?
"I believe this is outside of office hours right now." I said that as soon as I answered the call, trying to act cool.
"Mr. Auclair, I'm sorry for disturbing you at this hour. I just wanted to say..." His husky voice knocked on my eardrum. To be honest, it makes my heart skip a beat for a second. It's been a long time since I last heard his voice on the phone.
"You wanted to say what, Mr. Ackerman?" I interrupted him after he'd been silent for a while.
"I just wanted to say sorry about yesterday." He spoke quickly, as if he did not even want me to hear that. Thinking about what happened yesterday, I felt guilty after what Hanabi said to me.
"Levi, I know what I did is wrong, but I hope you'll not mention this anymore in the future, and please, just pretend like you knew nothing about me being a doctor before. As for now, please see me as Haruka Charles Auclair, your secretary and manager. I'm sorry, too. If that's all, I'll hang up." I do not want to continue this phone call any longer. I find it better to end the call first before he can say anything else.
"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Auclair, and good night." He spoke softly. I could sense the disappointment in his voice. Without saying anything, I end the call.
To be honest, I did not recognize that Levi was the one I saved five years ago until he mentioned that yesterday. I was too shocked yesterday, and that's why I couldn't think straight. The reason I saved him is because I thought he still could be saved, and I did the best I could. People said miracles do happen sometimes, and they did. Levi Ackerman was saved.
