Haru's eyes are wide open with fear as she stares into a very handsome mysterious man's eyes.
"Well hello Almost had a nasty accident there." The man smiled a very charming smile. "Why does this feel so much like a KDrama?" Haru blurted out. The man chuckled lightly and carefully set Haru down. "You're funny. What are you doing out here alone especially with that arm of yours." The man asked curiously
"Oh um thank you for catching me. I was just getting some supplies for the boss lady." She blushed.
"My name is Todd by the way."
"Well hello Todd, by the way, my name is Haru." Haru smiled and Todd was instantly charmed by her smile.
"Ah, you have a sense of humor I like that." His dashing smile made Haru blush subtly.
"You can call me T.J. I was named after my dad so I'm a junior. Or you can just call me Junior whatever appeases you." He smiled.
Haru smiled and remembered what she was there 'Darn his suave charm. I almost left without the stuff Riku needed!' She scolded herself and quickly knelt to pick up the fallen supplies. TJ quickly gets down and helps pick them up as well.
"Let me help you take all of this to the makeup room. I would feel guilty knowing I made you go alone especially since you're injured.
"Th- Thank you but you really don't have to."
"Oh, pish posh don't worry this way I can talk to you a little longer and ditch my duties for a while." He once again struck that dang dashing smile and Haru couldn't refuse his offer.
Haru and Todd walked into the room with the supplies.
Riku turned around to see if Haru was back and smirked at what she saw.
"Hey, I see you met TJ." She said with one eyebrow raised and half a smile.
"Yeah haha I sort of bumped into him"
" Well, you can just say that I swept her off her feet." He winked at Haru and her face flushed red. "and how is the lovely miss Riku doing today?" He turned her attention to Riku and put an arm around her shoulder.
"fine now leave so I can work."
"My typical Riku"
"Not yours." Riku smirks "Now stop trying to ditch your group and go back.
"Fine" TJ grumbled "Well I shall bid you Adieu for now until we meet again."
Todd grabs Haru's hand and gives it a gentle kiss.
Haru Blushes "o-Okay..."
Riku walks up next to Haru "Smooth, isn't he? Not my type but he seems to have an interest in you."
Haru jumped from the suddenness of Riku's presence. "I don't think so he's probably just being nice because of my arm."
"Sure whatever you say." Riku gives her the eye and smirks. "Thanks for grabbing all that stuff for me. Gotta make you look busy don't want you getting in trouble because even though I'm the boss if these guys don't get out in time it makes my team look incapable"
"Okay. Don't worry I won't let you down boss." Haru smiled brightly.
It was now lunchtime and Haru walked out the door with Riku.
"Hey there."
Haru squeaked at his sudden presence.
"You're a jumpy one arent you? Sorry about that." TJ laughed nervously.
"It's okay It's been kinda the norm for me lately" Haru replied sheepishly
Hiro comes running in to join them and sees them laughing with TJ. He quickly turns around and tries to stealthily walk away when he hears TJ calling out to him. "HEY! Hiro turns around wishing he was invisible right now and forces a smile.
"How's temping going?" Riku quickly asked
"Temping?" TJ asked Riku with a very confused look on his face.
"Yeah, he's been temping assistant manager lately didn't you know?"
"Oh, it's not too bad just had to grab people's coffee and stuff you know the normal." Hiro laughed nervously
"Oh ... Well, then temp you wouldn't mind if I asked you to grab me something to drink right? TJ grinned.
Hiro forces a smile. "Sure what would you like?" He forced the sentence out through gritted teeth.
"Some orange juice would be nice."
"You got it, man," Hiro replied with his forced smile and walked to the counter to get the man his orange juice.
After work, Hiro sat in his car sighing loudly while waiting for the girls.
Riku entered the car first while Haru was bidding farewell to her new friend. "Interesting lunch today. It was nice of TJ though to-" before she could finish her sentence Haru entered the car.
"to help her grab some things for me" Riku quickly diverted her sentence.
"Oh hey Haru how was your day," Hiro asked with less enthusiasm than usual.
"Obviously she met a guy" Riku chuckled evilly.
Haru blushes slightly
"I saw" Hiro tried to speak without gritting his teeth and forces a smile. "He's a good guy"
"TJ is from BaBang" Riku blurted.
"HE'S FROM BaBANG?!!!" Haru shrieked. "And I talked to him so casually! Oh my gosh, I'm so embarrassed!"
"yeah he's usually not upfront so no one really notices him but he does have a huge fan base for being very suave. Don't worry about how you treated him Haru I'm pretty sure he appreciated that he was treated like a normal human being for once. He doesn't like fake people so just being you is fine."
Haru sighed with relief
"Yeah he's so great... total ladies man though changes women like he changes socks." Hiro mocked as they drove off.
