As his car approached the gate of his family’s house, he saw soone standing there. At first, he didn’t pay much attention thinking it was one of the boys. It was uncommon for anyone to loiter at the gate of his house so if soone was there, it could be one of his n.
But he looked up from the screen of his tablet once again, as they got closer, it was Katoro. He could rember telling Ren clearly to keep that man away from the house. He could not hold back a frown.
The gate opened and Katoro was let in. Haruki’s brow furrowed further as he set aside the tablet no longer uninterested in the chart on the screen. As the gates opened for his car to drive in, he saw Katoro talking to Ren at the gate.
It confused him as he narrowed his gaze before stepping out of the car. Ren turned to him and bowed deeply. Katoro bowed to and walked away almost imdiately.
Haruki could not help but feel this was simply pure disrespect considering he had given an order to keep Katoro out of his sight but Ren decided to act on his own perhaps not thinking he ant his words.
Haruki sighed wondering if he had ever said sothing so seriously and not ant it. What he felt the mont was pure unfiltered rage both to Ren and the bold young man.
A cold smile lifted the corners of his lips he felt a strong urge to laugh, It seems he has finally found soone to vent all his bottled-up anger on. He raised his finger and gestured to Ren with his index finger.
Ren approached him and bowed slightly before raising his head with the confidence he usually showed Haruki with only a slight trace of subordination as his gaze t Ren’s.
Haruki sighed and with his fist clenched, he took in a deep breath and said, "Call him over."
Ren had offended him by disobeying an order but Katoro had already made himself into an eyesore to Haruki considering he had never seen his ntor act this way with anyone.
Ren acted pretty normally as though he had not done anything wrong and that was what made Haruki displeased. No apology, no explanation like Katoro had the right to go in and out of his house regardless of Haruki’s previous order.
Ren’s eyes widened as he turned towards the gate that had long closed and Katoro was gone. "He is gone," Ren stated the obvious.
"Bring him over. I don’t care where he went," Haruki ordered calmly. He wondered what Ren would do. Would he disobey his orders again over Kataro? So many thoughts were on his mind as he waited for a response.
"I will bring him over," Ren received the order without argunt and turned to leave.
"I will et him after my dinner and work out," Haruki said calmly. Almost too calmly and those who knew Haruki well felt a cold breeze blow towards them at that statent.
Kiyoshi looked around knowing they might have to call a clean-up team but he sincerely hoped it would only involve a doctor so he could call Dr. Yamamoto over considering Ren was involved and Katoro’s death did not seem like sothing Haruki should cause to punish Ren.
Ren disobeyed orders, he deserved punishnt but he held a strong position in the family and casually punishing him didn’t sound like a good idea But Katoro could be the sacrificed scapegoat goat but that also did not sound good to Kiyoshi as he followed Haruki who had unhurriedly entered the main building.
When Haruki went to clean up after work, Kiyoshi went to find Ren. Ren was in his quarters so he went there and knocked on the door. "Do you have a mont?" Kiyoshi asked as soon as the door was opened.
"Yes, what do you want?" Ren asked with his tone significantly cold.
"I guess you know what you did wrong. I think you should apologise," Kiyoshi went straight to the point.
Ren was silent for a few seconds. When he opened his mouth to speak, soone coughed from behind the slightly opened door. He calmly t Kiyoshi’s gaze as though he had not heard it.
"Are you going to do that?" Kiyoshi asked seriously as he felt his frustration build up over Ren’s silence.
"I will think about it."
"What ti do you have to think about it?"
"You do not have the ti to concern yourself over my matters," Ren said and moved backwards.
Seeing that he wanted to close the door, Kiyoshi stopped him, "Do you even know what you did wrong? How could you bring soone who tried to kill Haruki into the house and let him roam about? After getting warned you still let him in when Haruki arrived."
"I know what I did wrong," Ren cleared his throat and replied.
"Then apologise."
"I will handle my matters," Ren replied coldly and closed the door.
Kiyoshi shook his head exasperated.
Haruki called Ren over when he was done with all he had to do.
"Katoro ca over to deliver a ssage. He still works for the family and would have to run so errands occasionally."
Haruki raised his head to et the gaze of the older man and could not hold back a frown. "How do you feel now that he keeps trying to get into my bed or is this your intention?" Haruki asked seriously as soon as the thought ca to his mind.
"He only tried it once," Ren did not hesitate to correct Haruki.
"But that once is enough reason for to end his life," Haruki said as a matter of fact. "So, your plan was to have him everywhere I was, to what? Make take him back as boy toy?"
Ren remained silent not accepting or rejecting Haruki’s words.
"I guess your silence ans you agree with what I said. What makes you think I would want to sleep with the man who tried to kill ?"
"I will find soone else," Ren finally spoke. "If Katoro isn’t good enough, I will find soone who is, soone who didn’t stab you."
Haruki finally understood the reason behind Ren’s actions, leaned back as he looked at the man thoughtfully before shaking his head and reaching for a glass of water.
"I don’t think what you have with the doctor is wise."
"Oh, you should have told that rather than trying to set up with soone who tried to kill , what makes you think I will find him attractive?"
Haruki feeling tired and losing the will to continue the conversation, rose up and stretched a bit. "I was hoping for a bit of exercise but since you are not interested, I will just go to bed."
"I can still spar with you, if that’s what you want," Ren offered.
"I am still angry with you and I am sure you know you’ve gotten older. I need a reason to break one of your bones. I don’t want Katoro around the house anymore. Give him a job in the entertainnt industry or send him back to school. Just keep him away from ."
Having soone who reminded him of Shinya around would be a bad idea and that was not all Katoro was, the young man was also the person who stabbed him.
"I will handle that imdiately, however, I am not old," Ren not only accepted Haruki’s order, but also corrected him. "And I still don’t think you should be with the doctor," Ren called out when Haruki began walking away.
