Chapter 126: Hi...

Zen led Haru into the building. As they walked through the lobby one of the workers waved at Zen. He waved back and then walked over to the elevator.

"Someone, you know?" Haru asked Zen as they waited for the elevator to arrive on the ground floor.

"Not really but this is one of the properties I own. I have been renting this building out to companies for years now. On the top floor, there is a law firm and on the seventh floor there is even a game design studio." Zen smiled.

"Oh, I see," Haru added the amount of business that Zen ran across the city was too much for Haru to keep up with sometimes. He would often go into stores and have people recognise him as Zen's nephew so they would force free stuff on to him. It was annoying but also nice to see how much influence Zen held.

DING.

A bell sounded out as the elevator arrived on the ground floor. The doors opened with a deep rumble as the metal doors slid open. They both then got into the elevator before Zen hit the button for the eighth floor.

A few seconds went by before the elevator jumped and then settled once more as it began to rise, slowly but surely reaching the eighth floor. The bell chimed out once more as the doors opened.

The room opened up into a large waiting room where a woman sat behind a desk.

"Can I help you?" A woman wearing a black skin-tight dress looked up and pushed her glasses on to the bridge of her nose. She blinked with a blank expression for a few moments before standing up.

"Oh, Mr Hao. I had no idea you were coming today. Is there anything you need?" She asked before noticing Haru who was looking around.

The walls were plastered with posters and photos hung up of people in various dance poses and there were job listings pinned to a note board. He looked over at the woman, catching her gaze for only a second. Her face became a deep shade of red as she looked back at him with her mouth hung open.

She regathered her thoughts and looked back at Zen.

"Is this a new talent? I don't think I have seen him before." The woman asked between glances at Haru.

'Is there something on my face?' Haru thought to himself as the woman kept staring at him. He wasn't even paying attention to what she was saying but as he read the posters on the walls he could feel her gaze on the back of his neck. It was an uncomfortable feeling.

"No, This is my nephew, Haru," Zen said and then walked closer to the desk.

"How much longer is it until everyone goes on break? We have to meet with Suyin as soon as possible." Zen whispered to the woman behind the counter.

"Well they won't be finished for another hour or so, But since it is you I can let you go right on in as long as you keep quiet." The woman smirked and gazed deep into Zen's eyes.

"Thank you. You're a sweetheart I promise I will be quiet." Zen said as the woman reached down and pressed a button on her desk.

A low pitch humming noise came from a glass door behind her as the locks opened up. Zen grabbed a hold of the door and pulled it open a little bit so it wouldn't lock again and then turned back to Haru who was still looking at the posters.

He felt even more nervous than he did back in the car. He was only a few meters away from Suyin and she had no idea. He wondered how she would react when she saw him.

"Hurry up before the door locks," Zen whispered to Haru.

Haru turned to see Zen with one hand on the door and the other on the wall next to the frame. His chest started to throb rapidly as he walked towards the door.

Zen then pulled open the door all the way and walked inside, Followed shortly behind by Haru. They walked down a corridor with glass doors on both sides as many different practice rooms branched out across the floor before reaching the room at the very end of the corridor.

"She's in here. Are you ready?" Zen asked with a little bit of excitement creeping across his face.

"There's no time like the present…" Haru said awkwardly before walking over to the door seeing Suyin stood inside dancing. She was following the same dance moves as an older woman who looked to be in her thirties.

Zen then opened the door and Haru walked inside. He stood there and watched them dance for a few minutes. Suyin was so focused that she didn't realise anyone had come into the room. But the woman who was dancing alongside her did see him.

She turned to see him as Suyin carried on by herself.

"Excuse me. We have a practice session right now. Would you mind waiting outside for a little bit?" She asked with a calming smile. But her voice was enough to break Suyin's concentration.

She looked in the mirror and saw him standing in the doorway. She then stopped what she was doing and slowly turned. She was in shock and didn't believe her eyes.

It had been almost a full month since she had first gone to visit him in hospital. She had a hard time dealing with the fact that he wasn't going to wake up for a while and the first couple of days after she had fallen into depression.

She started to wonder if she would ever see him open his eyes again and decided to distract herself by focusing on practising. She would work hard for countless hours every day to take her mind off knowing that Haru was laying in a hospital bed.

She never expected that he would come to see her.

She almost didn't recognise him at first and as she turned to see him she had to remind herself that his appearance had mysteriously changed.

The looked at each other in silence for what seemed like minutes. None of them realised that Zen had come into the room and held a finger to his lips to signal to the woman to keep quiet. She recognised Zen but not this strange-looking boy.

"Hi…" Haru said awkwardly. It still didn't feel like it had been four weeks since he had seen her it only felt like a few days at most so he didn't know what to say.

Zen sighed as he watched on.

But Suyin didn't seem to mind the awkwardness in his greeting. As soon as Haru spoke she took off running towards him and practically jumped into his arms.

She pushed her head against him and then took in a deep breath to calm her heart that felt like it was going to beat out of her chest.

"I missed you so much…" She whispered into his chest.

Haru wrapped his arms around her tightly and then picked her up into the air. In return, she wrapped her legs around his waist and they hugged like that for what seemed like hours. They didn't want to let go.

"Don't ever do that again. I hated seeing you like that. With those machines monitoring your body and tubes stuck in your body to feed you. It was horrible to see…" Suyin said and then felt his hair, brush against her face.

"You need to get a hair cut." She laughed and then looked into his pale blue eyes.

"They look like diamonds. I like your eyes. There is a look of mystery about them, It's like looking at a faraway galaxy… I'm just happy you are okay." Suyin took a few minutes to compliment Haru's new look before changing her mind. She loved him for who he was. Not for what he looked like.

She then smiled before planting a kiss on his lips.

"I love you so much." She stated and then began to wiggle to get down.

"I love you too." Haru gave her a final kiss and then lowered her to the ground.

Suyin turned to talk to the woman who was previously teaching her to dance.

"Can I take the rest of the day off? I have some important things to discuss. Do you mind?" She asked the woman.

She smiled back at Suyin and then walked toward her and put a single hand on her shoulder.

"That's fine with me. You are a really quick learner. I don't think I will have to worry about you messing up the choreography. You will do great on the day so take as much time as you need to." She said with a smile before looking over at Zen.

"Good morning, Mr Hao. How are you doing? Are you up for that dance lesson yet?" She asked with a huge grin on her face.

Suyin grabbed Haru's hand and they began to head towards the door until Haru overheard what she said.

"Zen's going to dance?" Haru exclaimed and then turned around to see him looking all flustered.
