Zen and me reached my apartment. He walked over to me and opened the door for me. He closed the door behind me. He came closer to me and hugged me before giving a peck on my lips.
"Goodbye Haru", he said to me.
"Are you not staying with me tonight" I asked him.
"No Haru. I have some urgent work to take care of" he answered me.
I turn to walk towards my apartment. I saw the lights to my apartment on. I recalled myself switching it off before I left for the dinner with Zen's parents. I looked back at Zen as he was starting to drive way. I didn't want him to worry so I just walked to my apartment getting cautious. The thoughts running through me as how or who has broke into my apartment. I called my mom to check if she was here to see me. But to my disappointment it wasn't her. I started panicking. I thought maybe I forgot to off but as clear as I remember I switch it off. I threw the thought away as I started to unlock the door. As to my surprise it was already unlocked. As I slowly opened the door I saw a man standing at the middle of my living room his back towards me. I took the flower vase near the door as I got ready to hit the person.
"Who the hell are you and how the hell you get in here?", I asked panicking still holding the vase.
The man turned towards me. He had a grin on him. He was quite handsome, clean shaven and had the same colour of eyes as Zen's dressed in suit. He came towards me holding a smile on his face.
"I guess we haven't meet yet", he said to me still grinning. "You dont know me but I do know you".
I looked at him confused.
"You are Haru Salvador. Your parents are Andre and Sakura Salvador. You work at Mode offices. And recently you are involved with a guy name Zen Kirishima who also happens to be the crown prince of Japan" , he narrated out as if he has been stalking me for months.
"Who the hell are you?" I shouted at him. "Tell me now or else I am calling the cops", I warned him pulling out my phone.
"If I were you. I wouldn't do that" he glared at me.
I unlocked my phone as I daily 199, but before could I press call he snatched my phone.
"What do you think you are doing?" I asked him with anger in my voice. I tried to snatch it back but he was a built man I couldn't out do him. He hold my hand against my back as he whispered in my ears.
"You are wild aren't you? I love a wild person like you" he said to me.
It send chills through my whole body.
"Ah! You're hurting me" I screamed in pain he was very aggressive with my hand.
"Will you behave?" He asked. I nodded in reply.
He let me go and told me to sit by the couch as he settled himself on the couch beside me.
"Oh I am sorry for my behaviour", he said winking. "Let me introduce myself. I am Ryeo Kirishima".
As soon as he said the surname it sent a chill through me. He extended his hands for a shake looking into me.
"I am Zen's Cousin" he added.
"Why are you here in my house?" I asked him with curious.
"You are going to be very useful to me" he said it with a smirk. "Its finally nice to meet you".
He got up from where he sat as he walked towards the door.
"What do you mean by that" I called out to him.
He took hold of the door knob as he looked back at me.
"Meet you very soon Haru" he said to me as he walked out the door.
As soon as he left I got hold of my phone as I called Zen. The phone rang.
"Hey" he said from the other side.
"Hi" I said trying to sound as calm as I can.
"Haru what happened you don't sound good?" He asked me in concern.
"I just met your cousin Ryeo" I blurted out.
"What?" He shouted in shock. "Are you okay Haru. Wait for me I am coming right now to you"
"Zen I am fine. And you dont have to" I told him.
"Where did you meet him?" He asked to me, his voice calm now.
"He was here in my apartment" as soon as I said that he again was in shock as he said he was coming to me right now as he disconnected the call.
Few minutes later I heard a knock at the door. I took hold of the flower vase that I realized I was still holding this whole time. As I walked to unlock it. I lift the vase to hit as it landed on Zen's forehead. As soon as it happened I felt so bad I hit him.
"Ouch! It's me Haru" he screamed in pain.
"Sorry. Sorry" I apologised to him. "I thought your creepy cousin came back again"
I led him to the living area as I went into my room to get the first aid box as I saw blood bleeding from my hit on his head. I cleaned his wound as I bandaged it.
"I am sorry Zen" I apologised to h I'll m once again.
"Thank God you are okay Haru" he said in nihongo as he pulled me into a hug.
"I have observed you. You always revert to nihongo whenever you are angry or concerned" I smiled at him trying to lighten the mood.
He pulled me into hug again. This time it was tighter than the last time.
"Zen you are estrangling me" I said to him.
He released me. I looked towards him. I saw concern in his eyes and even a glint of sadness.
"What is it Zen?" I asked concerned. "Is something wrong?"
"Its nothing" he said reverting his eyes away from him.
I brought up my hand to his cheeks as I turned him to look at me.
"Whatever it is Zen. You know that you can tell me anything right" I said to him.
He nodded in reply. I didn't wanted to push him to tell me whatever it was if he wasn't ready to tell me so. So, I changed the topic and asked him if he wants something to drink. He replied no.
"Do you wanna watch tv" I asked him. He nodded in reply.
I switched the TV on. A korean drama I have been watching played on.
