Chapter 185: Moonlight. (1/2)

The phone rang out for a few seconds before a tired voice picked up. But the tiredness in her voice went away the second Haru spoke.

”Hello, Is this the number for….” Haru was just about to ask if he had the correct number but he couldn't even finish his sentence before Suyin shouted back.

”Haru! I missed you so much. I wish you were still here… It's so nice to hear your voice. Are you okay? I tried to call earlier but you didn't pick up.” She said as soon as she realised who had called her.

”You're sure are excited to hear from me. Did you miss me that much?” He teased her a little bit since so sounded so happy.

”Of course I am. It feels like it has been forever since I last heard your voice. Did you not miss me?” Suyin asked in return.

Haru felt eyes all over his body as he realised how loud he was talking. The guards all looked up at him and gave disapproving looks like he was being disrespectful.

But he didn't really care. Instead of giving in to the pressure from the others he sat back in his seat and relaxed a little before putting one of his legs over the other. He was now acting like the spoiled kids he hated so much but It was better this way.

If he was quiet and reserved for the whole journey they could get the wrong idea about him and think that he was there as a spy and end up shooting at him. Although he was confident that he could defend himself against them.

He didn't want them to think he is their enemy. He wanted to lie low and wait until something happened. Which he had the suspicion that it would or else this many guards would have been pointless in the first place.

”Who are you kidding!? I missed you too. I didn't think that it would be this hard, living all by myself.” Haru was practically shouting at this point with an overly raised voice since he knew everyone would be listening to his conversation anyway.

He wanted them to know that he knew they were listening to him. Which worked since one of the men called out back to him.

”Excuse me, young man. But could you be a little quieter? I have a lot of work to do and you are keeping me from concentrating on it.” A middle-aged man dressed like an office worker asked Haru with a gentle smile but his frame was way too big for a simple office worker. Haru could see the muscles on his body from under the suit he was wearing. All in all, it was a terrible disguise for them all to be doing this. It might have been better to just wear typical clothes a bodyguard would wear.

It's wasn't like people travelling with guards was a strange sight. Some people just needed the reassurance that their loved ones would be safe and if they had the money to do so then it was normal for them to have a bodyguard.

”Fine. Whatever old man.” Haru said with a sigh, he was playing the arrogant young master role a bit too well as he noticed the secret guard bite his tongue with the veins on his forehead beginning to bulge.

”Thank you.” The guard said with the smile forcefully fading from his lips as the interaction came to an end and then turned back around to where another man nudged him in the arm and giggled slightly.

”What was that about? Are you out somewhere?” Suyin asked after hearing a little bit of the interaction.

”Oh, it's nothing to worry about. Just some old man on the bus was asking me to be quiet. And yeah I'm heading to Beijing for a week.” Haru announced loud enough for the man to hear on purpose to try to get a reaction but there was nothing. The only reaction he had were the veins on the back of his neck looking like they would pop at any moment.

”Beijing!? Why are you going to Beijing? I thought you would be studying for classes or something.” Suyin said with a curious tone to her voice.

”I just have some business to take care of and then I will be heading back. It won't take long and I got permission from the teacher so everything is fine.

But enough about me. I heard your new song is doing well. You made it into the top ten within the first week of it being released. That's not something that happens very often. I'm proud of you.” Haru said a bit quieter this time.

”Why thank you. You were the one who inspired the lyrics so you should be congratulating yourself not me.” Suyin giggled after she let him know that the song was written about him.
