Chapter 57 : Relieving stress.

Third person point of view

The next morning, they left in the morning and Haruto took him out to many places. Junkyu loved how their day went; with only the two of them, not worrying about someone noticing them and enjoying their day. Haruto also took Junkyu to an amusement park. Junkyu was very happy when he went there.

He always wanted to go to one, but couldn't find the time. He went on all the rides with Haruto. Both of them had a lot of fun all through out their day. Junkyu was more than happy. He didn't enjoy so much in quite a while. They went back home by the time of dinner. Junkyu's smile dropped when he saw Yui when they entered the house.

" When did you come ? " Haruto asked. " Not long ago ". He nodded. " I will put these in the room ". Junkyu said and walked up to their room. Now he remembered the route. He closed the door behind him and cursed. He put the things on the bed with a thud and sighed. He remembered about dinner. He couldn't escape dinner though.

He didn't want to be disrespectful. So he went back down for dinner. He saw Haruto and Yui chatting at the table. He sat down silently. Junkyu didn't speak at all during dinner and he was also eating very slowly. He didn't feel like it and also his heart and mind were acting weird. He finished quickly and went back to Haruto's room.

Haruto went to the room after a few minutes and didn't find Junkyu. He heard the shower running and relaxed. Junkyu took a shower and by the time he came out Haruto was already in the room. He sat down on the bed. Haruto went to take a shower. Junkyu picked up his phone looking at all the pictures they took.

Haruto walked out and switched the lights off and slept on the bed. Junkyu put his phone away and slept with his back to Haruto. Not a word was exchanged all through. Haruto turned towards Junkyu but didn't say anything. He thought that Junkyu was tired from the long day. He let him be without disturbing him.

He moved closer hugging him and kissed his head. Junkyu put his hand over Haruto's and just stayed like that. After a few minutes, Haruto's breath evened down which meant he fell asleep. But Junkyu was still awake. He slowly turned around not wanting to wake Haruto up and looked at him with a small frown.

A lot of things were running through his mind. He didn't know if Haruto just said it out of instinct or if he meant that ' I love you '. It left an impression in Junkyu's mind and heart. And the other thing was Yui. He took a deep breath looking down. He shook his head and looked at Haruto who was happily asleep.

He ran his hand through Haruto's hair. He then traced his hand along the side of Haruto's face. He just observed him for a few seconds. Haruto moved a little and hugged Junkyu closer still in sleep. Junkyu gave a small smile and hugged Haruto back. He pushed all the thoughts away and closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Haruto was going to office the next day. He smiled and waved Junkyu bye. Junkyu went to find Sara. " Mom.... Can I ask you something ? " " Sure ". " Yui..... what does she do ? " " She also works for our company. She is a distant relative ". Junkyu nodded. " So she works in the same office as Haruto ? " Sara nodded. Junkyu blinked. He clenched his jaw.

" I forgot to ask you this. Is there anywhere you want to go or anything you want to do ? I think Haruto showed you around but if there is anything else, let me know ". Sara asked. " I am not really a person who goes out a lot. But if you don't mind, I would like to go shopping with you again and show me around that side of this place ".

" Is that so ? " Sara chuckled. Junkyu nodded. " I have nothing to do anyway. Shall we go now ? " " Really ? " Junkyu stood up straight. Sara nodded. " I will change and be back then ". She nodded. Junkyu went back to their room and put on something more decent. They went out and to a big mall.

As they went around, Junkyu found a white suit and really liked it. He got it for himself. He went around and got things for Hyunsuk, Jihoon and Jin too. He enjoyed going out with Sara. It felt really good and stress relieving. They sat down in a cafe in the evening after finishing all the shopping.

" I really enjoyed the day ". Junkyu spoke in Japanese. " You are definitely improving ". Sara praised with a proud smiled. Junkyu smiled back at her. " Thank you so much ". He tried to communicate in Japanese for almost the whole day and also learnt new terms. " Junkyu ". He looked up at Sara.

" Is something on your mind ? " Junkyu scratched his head. " Not really. I am just thinking too much maybe ". Sara smiled. " You keep calling me mom. Don't you think you can share anything with me ? " Junkyu fiddled with his hands.

" Umm... nothing much. In the start, I guess I didn't look ahead. Now after coming here... I don't know if I am worth being with someone like Haruto, in a lot of things actually. So maybe I was a little on edge. I had too many things running around in my mind. But coming out today definitely helped a lot in distracting myself ". Sara smiled and patted Junkyu's hand.

" Junkyu-ah, remember one thing. What is important for a person is not their background, money or fame. Not any of that. It is the person itself. And you are a really wonderful person. Why are you even having second thoughts ? You are such a sweetheart, you love Haruto and I know you care for him even more than I do maybe and that is all that matters. Who would want anything more than a nice person for their children ? You even earn well above that. I, as a mother would love to have a son in law like you. What are you even worried about ? "

She assured him with a gentle expression. Junkyu chuckled and nodded. He sniffled, pushing back the tears. Sara gave his hand a squeeze and let go. They finished and walked out. Junkyu gave Sara a hug. Sara patted his back in a comforting manner. They walked out of there. They were done with shopping, so they got in the car and were going back home.

Sara glanced at Junkyu and spoke looking ahead. " You know you are the only one Haruto has ever spoke to us about ? " Junkyu turned to Sara in shock. Sara turned to Junkyu with a small smile.

" I've never seen him like that. Even though I am not sure, I can guess what you are thinking. If it is about Yui.... I am on your side. If you really think she is a rival, win Haruto back. I know he is already on your side. He is too whipped by you from how I see it ". She gave a small pause and turned to Junkyu.

" But if you want to confirm it, just show him why he chose you. It is a clear kill. Don't you think so ? " Sara said as the car neared their house. Junkyu turned to her. She continued to look at him with a meaningful smile. Junkyu smiled too understanding what she meant. " Thank you ". Sara smiled and looked ahead.
