Chapter 142: Thank You!
"Woah, Were did the storm of nerds come from? Which one is your cousin?" AJ asked as he saw the army of students making there way out of the building.
That was when he looked up, catching a glimpse of red as a girl with bright red hair pushed her way through the crowd. She held her arm up and waved toward Haru. But being so close to Haru he mistook the wave as a greeting for him.
He held up his arm and waved back as she managed to break free from the crowd and then make her way over.
"I didn't expect you to get out before me. Professor Hua usually keeps his students back for a little longer to summarise everything they have learned from that class. He must have felt happy today." Yun laughed as she approached Haru.
She then turned her attention to the guy that was staring at her. His cheeks where glowing pink as he looked at her.
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Yun snapped at him.
"What no. That's not" AJ began to speak. But couldn't quite find his words.
"Oh, Yun. This is my roommate Ah Jin but he likes to be called AJ. I went back to my dorm room and that is when we met. He asked me if I wanted to get lunch with him so I told him only as long as we go and pick you up first." Haru laughed as he introduced him to her. Yun looked him up and down for a few seconds.
"And AJ this is my cousin, Yun." He kept his introduction on Yun short for two reasons. The first being that they had just met and didn't have the typical family relationship that cousins had, And the second being that she seemed to be a confrontational type of girl.
Haru had already judged her to be boisterous and she had a need to be the centre of attention which was made clear by her hair being dyed a bright colour. He didn't want to say anything that would upset her in fear of her embarrassing him by throwing a tantrum.
'Yun? Her name is almost as pretty as her.' AJ thought as she stared at him with a suspicious look.
"So what do you say. Do you want to get lunch with us?" Haru asked Yun. She looked up for a moment with a look of uncertainty on her face.
"Hmm I have a lot of work to do But why not.?" Yun laughed and then grabbed Haru by his arm once again and began to pull him.
"You better be paying for it though. I don't want to waste any more of my allowance." She let him know as she pulled him along.
"Fine, Whatever that's fine with me. But you need to help me decorate my room once we finish afternoon classes." Haru said. Yun looked up at him and then nodded before turning to see that AJ still hadn't moved from the spot where he was standing.
"Are you coming with us or not?" Yun stopped and then peeked out from the side of Haru's body and asked AJ who looked as pale as a ghost while he stood still imagining many things playing out in his head.
Yun's voice seemed to snap him out of his trance and he fell back to reality. He looked back at them both now looking at him.
"Yeah, I was just adjusting my jacket. It felt a little tight." AJ made up an excuse before following behind them. They all went into the city which was just a few blocks away. It was about a ten-minute walk until they got to a fast food restaurant and sat down to eat.
They ate their food as fast as they could before the afternoon classes started and then made their way back to the university. AJ split away from the group as they got to the gates. He said he was going back to his room but didn't say what for. Harut thought nothing of it as he went to his next class. It was in the same room with the same teacher.
"Hopefully he had time to calm down" Haru thought before waving goodbye to Yun in the corridor and making his way up the stairs towards the classroom. The door was closed and a sign was put up in the window.
"Classes are cancelled for the day to give you time to finish your assignments." The sign readout. Haru looked at it slightly confused before he heard a gasp come from behind him.
He turned to see a short looking boy with glasses with his hands resting on his knees. He looked at the sign and almost fell to his knees as he read the words.
Haru looked down at him in confusion.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he saw that the boy had his hands pressed together in front of his face and seemed to be muttering something to himself. 'Is he praying' Haru thought before his eyes shot open. He looked Haru in the eyes for a few seconds before crawling towards him.
Tears seemed to be dripping down his face as he wept. He tried to reach for Haru's legs. But Haru looked down with disgust at the sight before him.
"Get away from me, You will ruin my pants." He backed up a few steps seeing the pitiful state of the boy that was trying to touch him.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The boy screamed and bowed his head to Haru. While the rest of his classmates started to make their way toward class.
"What are you doing?" Haru whispered in a hushed voice trying desperately to get him to stop shouting. But his constant shouting of thank you gained the attention of the teacher and the door to the classroom shot open and out came Professor Hua.
