MELODY OF LOVE: Arrived Marriage
Flasback Kurenai Version 1
Since the identity of Oyabun is already known by Yudha and Alvin, it is time to look into the past and the person who is in direct contact with Oyabun Kyoto city aka Mr. Han is Kurenai.
Oyabun/Okashira: Big father, Big boss.
This morning, Kurenai intends to make usucha tea or matcha tea that is light textured and diluted. All the tools and ingredients to make the tea were already prepared by his housemaid. Usucha type green tea, tea bowls, tea pencils, sieve, ceramic teapots, Japanese tea stirrers, and so on.
Kurenai sifted a teaspoon and a half of green tea powder into a small tea bowl, after which he set it aside. Then he placed a small perforated sieve on the lip of the bowl, then poured the tea powder while tapping the side of the sieve slowly so that the texture of the tea is smoother and does not clot when brewed. Kurenai then scratches it with a chashaku spoon or a special bamboo spoon to roast green tea.
Kurenai poured 60 ml of hot water into a separate cup. The water temperature should be hot but should not boil usually around 75 to 80°C. At this stage, it is not possible to pour water into a bowl filled with tea powder. He waited for her for a moment.
Slowly, Kurenai poured hot water into a bowl of tea. In addition to the tea powder does not clot, this step also needs to be done to warm the tea cup and make the tea more delicious when drunk. After that, dry the cup or tea bowl with kitchen wipes.
This is the stage that must be passed to make tea with a distinctive Japanese taste. The tea ceremony is like this.
Kurenai stirred the tea in a quick zig-zag motion for 10 to 15 minutes using chasen. Chasen is a bamboo shaker specifically intended for making Japanese-style green tea. To produce a softer texture of the drink, he then stirred the tea in a circular motion.
This type of tea is not brewed as regular tea so the tea powder will definitely settle at the bottom of the cup if left too long.
After finishing, Kurenai poured the tea back into another cup and enjoyed it immediately.
His face suddenly changed not as enthusiastically as when he made the tea earlier. He threw the cup of tea in any direction.
The tea cup hit the wall and broke just like that.
Kurenai could no longer enjoy the pleasure of drinking his favorite tea. Although he added more sugar in his tea, the sweet taste was not friendly with his tongue. Ridying him even made him tasteless again to drink tea.
It feels very uncomfortable.
"That guy was always troubling my life! I would never be able to live quietly if he was still alive! How do I destroy it? Why can't I do it again? I used to be able to cause Yoga-san to die, why can't I kill him? He's the root of why I'm a monster."

FLASHBACK..
Kurumizawa Kurenai is the birth name of Kurenai.
Little Kurenai was born fatherless from the womb of a working mother**commercial. It is also known if Kurenai lives miserable even though the mother is quite selling in the market, but the results that can not be comparable to the services he sells. Living in a slum and narrow apartment is a childhood that not all children can survive to live it.
Towards the first middle school, Kurenai's mother suffered from a disease due to too often changing partners. Diseases that eat away at the body and its beauty. Make it no longer sell themselves.
Since the mother could no longer afford to make money for meals and daily expenses, Kurenai was forced to work at a young age. She does not want to be a prostitute like her mother. He was determined to work in a better way. He also sought his fortune by applying for a job at a place to eat. Accepted and he worked for approximately three months. In the end, he was forced to be fired because of Japanese rules that prohibit the employment of minors.
Kurenai was not discouraged, he sought another job, but ended the same, no one dared to hire for reasons of Japanese law that prohibits underage workers.
During this difficult time, her mother died when Kurenai was 16 years old. His life was getting worse where he had to endure hunger when his meal money was used to pay rent. Amazingly, God always gave him a way to survive the very difficult life.
Whether there are people who feed it, whether by scavenging the garbage, whether someone asks him to help clean it and give it money, there is only help from God.
During his 17th birthday, Kurenai had to flee here and there to avoid police arrest. In Japan, minors cannot live alone. If anyone is reckless, then the police will hand him over to the social service.
Kurenai doesn't want to live in an orphanage. He even willingly lied to people by claiming to be more than 17 years old.
A remarkable year he experienced until finally, he is now 17 years old.
Kurenai then gets to know a man who owns a good bar to her. Name's Hito. He was given a job as a waitress at Hito's bar.
Without graduating from high school, Kurenai is very grateful to be able to get this job. With a good salary.
.

.
Kurenai's incredible beauty becomes a bar magnet. The bar visitors increased. Just a drink or say hello to Kurenai.
Kurenai is also acquainted with the members of the yakuza. Here, Kurenai does not know if the man is a member of the yakuza. The man's name is Tetsuya.
Tetsuya is the right-hand man of the Red Dragon yakuza under Takeo's leadership.
The encounter turns to disaster when Tetsuya brings Kurenai to meet his Young Master, his name is Uchiyama Hanry, the son of Takeo from his women. Takeo turns out not only has Azumane's son, but also Hanry who is 4 years old above Azumane.
It was Uchiyama Hanry who finally tasted Kurenai's body for the first time in a tragic rape.
Tetsuya gave Kurenai sleeping pills and took her to Hanry's luxurious mansion. That's where Hanry raped Kurenai.
Not only was Kurenai raped, but she was also tortured mentally and physically. Drugged, injected with vaccines, unnatural sex games, he experienced almost every day. He was chained to his hands and feet in a dark room. There was only a small vent that made him know when it was day and when it was night.
Being a sex slave and torture Kurenai naturally for almost two years.
In the end, God helped him when he was almost desperate. He managed to get out of hell when the Hanry mansion got an attack from Hadinata.
Hadinata did not succeed in killing Hanry who became Takeo's eldest son, Hanry managed to escape and save himself. He freed the slaves imprisoned and held captive in Hanry's mansion, including Kurenai.
Kurenai did not know what the name of the person who saved him was, he only caught a glimpse of his face. He will never forget it.
.

After leaving Hanry's hell, Kurenai returns to Hito's bar and tells him what happened. Hito had suspected something was wrong with Tetsuya, in the end Hito invited Kurenai to move to Tokyo and open a new bar there.
Hito chooses to move because he realizes that in the future the Hanry people will come to him to look for Kurenai. The Yakuza will not let their slaves go alive. Even if he answers anything about Kurenai, knows or does not know where he is, they will still not hesitate to kill him.
In Tokyo they opened the same business. Competition in Tokyo is very difficult. Very different from the business competition in the previous city, Narita. They are almost bankrupt and out of money. Feeling indebted to Hito, Kurenai eventually willingly sold himself to help their health.
The bar has to come back!
That's what's inside Kurenai's right. This is like where Hito becomes muchikari and Kurenai sells his services.
"I was broken from the beginning. Why not just ruin it? A woman like me has nothing more to be proud of. There's nothing more I can protect from this body. Although beautiful said many people, there is no point because the contents are only stains and contempt... I'm sorry mom, I'm finally following in your footsteps."
At the age of 19 years Kurenai became the starting point he wrestled his new profession as a comfort woman, a woman of male pleasure. No matter how many men he has slept with, as they are, as long as they do not transmit the disease and are ready to pay dearly, then he has no problem sleeping with him.
When Kurenai earned money after serving the striped man, he felt that there was a certain pleasure afterwards. The sexual treatment he got from Hanry made him addicted to sex. It is hard to be satisfied and want to keep doing it.
It's like escaping from Hanry, but entering the devil's trap.
Is this part of the fight against the trauma of the actions he experienced from Hanry during those 2 years? Who knows. However, Hanry's torture did change everything in his life.
.

.
More and more money, the bar can open and have many visitors. Kurenai's life improved despite being obtained from the wrong path.
The bar he built with Hito became big over time even becoming one of the famous bars in Tokyo. Selling a variety of middle-class liquor to the top where the target visitors are from among the. They can even have legal protection as well.
THE END OF FLASHBACK.

Kurenai massaged his head. He again observed the tea and the tools of the maker in front of him.
"Yoga-san, you are the first bar visitor to ask for matcha tea instead of liquor."
