The Architect (HAITUS)

Yuzu's pov

-

Harumin gave me my phone back as she smirked. Now I'm curious about what she could have done on my phone.

I gave her a look before we sat down in my office. "What's that for?" This time she couldn't hold the chuckle that left her mouth. She grabbed her laptop and leaned back against one of the couches I had in my office before crossing a leg over the other.

I raised a brow at that. I opened my phone to see what she possibly could have done, only to be greeted with a text that popped up on my phone from...

"The girl of my dreams?" I read out and looked at her. "Who's that? Who did you text?" She shrugged making me really pissed off. I clicked on what possible that person might have sent only for my eyes to widen.

"Haruminnn" I warned. "You did not..." I mumbled as I read what she had sent and the reply of Mei.

Exactly, she texted Mei from all the people she knows. I'm getting more angry right now, who said I'm ready for any of this? Plus, I know her for only three days or so now.

"What'd she reply" her head popped up behind my shoulders. I don't know what I'm feeling, to be honest. Mei is a sweet girl and all, but I'm seriously not ready for any of this, especially after the last one...

I felt her grab my phone gently before putting it on the desk, and my face was held with two soft hands, making me look up at her as she whipped away the tears I didn't know were there.

"Hey, hey, everything is going to be alright baby. You deserve this, and I know she's not the same as the last ones" She said softly making more tears roll down. I honestly don't know why they're coming, the tears. Am I that hurt to try and go out again?

She leaned down to my level and smiled softly, wiping the new tears away again. "I'm sorry for doing it without your permission, but I want to see you happy again. And if she hurt you, blame me okay?" she stood back up and wrapped her arms around my head making more tears come out as I hugged her around her torso.

She softly played with my hair before kissing the top of my head and making me look back up at her, "I..." I sniffed, "I- I honestly don't know why I'm crying like this" I mumbled to her.

"You don't have to know why, and this time, I want you to follow your heart and not what your brain tells you. I'm going to make sure you won't regret it" She only smiled before squeezing my cheeks, I scrunched my face when she squeezed my cheeks making her chuckle. "Now where is that smile"

The smile on her face couldn't help me but smile back before she chuckled and leaned down to give me a kiss on my cheek.

As she did that, I felt her hands start to tickle me making me yelp.

"Oh my God Harumin you better StaWP HAHAHA S-stoP" I couldn't hold the laughter back, she giggled and finally stopped.

"There is my Yuzu! Now grab your phone and follow your heart, don't listen to your mind" She sat on the desk as she watched me hesitate. I finally grapped the phone back and took a deep breath before texting her that I'm really happy that she wants to go out tonight with me and that she doesn't have to hurry or anything and take her time with work.

As I pressed send, Harumin jumped off the desk and hugged me making the both of us fall on the ground with me still on the chair. "Girl you did it!" I groaned at the pain but she doesn't seem to mind us falling.

She held herself up grinning at me before finally getting off me and helping me get up from the chair.

God my cheeks are flushed, and my heart is pounding so fast I think it's going to jump out. But a little smile did slowly show up thinking about tonight. "Now, don't daydream about it" She teased as she sat back down on the couch and opened her laptop this time.
