17. Changing

"Young Master wake --- ops! Why did you sleep there?" Bulk asked his friend in astonishment because of the noise he made.

He saw on the couch it was lying and still wrapped in a blanket. He put his face on it and when Haji suddenly stood up when he see his face causing them to bump into each other.

"Ouch! That was hurt!" he moaned and looked at his friend but when he saw it it didn't seem to hurt and it looked like he's looking for someone.

"What are you looking for?" he asked but the friend continued to look around.

"Are you alone here?" Haji asked him causing his eyebrows to meet and he looked at his friend in surprise.

"Huh? Do you have anyone else with you?" he asked as he rubbed his bumped head.

"Huh? A-ahh no, it's nothing. What time is it?" he replied and immediately averted his eyes. He looked at the blanket wrapped around his body and frowned.

"It's 7:00 and hurry up, we'll be late again." Bulk replied.

"Tss." he just moaned and immediately went straight to the bathroom in the bedroom and took a shower. While bathing, he wondered what time hhe had fallen asleep and why he had a blanket on his body even though he had not done so. He thought of the girl and he remembered what time It had come. The young man sighed and resumed bathing.

After taking a bath and he immediately got dressed and went to his friend having coffee in the kitchen.

"Let's go." he invited and the friend walked next.

When they got out of the apartment they immediately got in his car and drove away.

"Lia."

Friends who were walking on the side of the gymnasium were distracted when someone called the girl. He looked for who had called him and when he looked to the side, she immediately saw Lhou smiling approaching hier

"Good morning." Lhou greeted her which surprised her.

"G-good morning Sir." she stammered in response and bowed in front of It. It smiled at her and to Xing who was just looking at them

"Do you need anything?" she asked.

"I wish I could talk to you." he replied to her and looked at Xing. So Xing immediately understood it and nodded at him.

"A-ahh Lia, I'll be going first in the classroom. Let's just meet later." Xing replied and the girl just nodded.

Xing immediately turned around and was followed by Lhou and Lia's gaze. When It left them, she turned again to the young man's behavior.

"What do you want to say?" she asked the young man.

"Can you come with me tonight?," he asked at her and smiled. "Please," he pleaded

The girl was surprised because Lhou made an invitation to her. She did not know why Lhou invited her. She should not think of anything because she knew it was just about her previous job.

"Huh? Where?" she asked in astonishment.

"I will tell you later. Is it okay for you to come with me later?"

"B-but ------"

"She won't come with you." answered a familiar man and interrupted what she was going to say. They looked at Lhou at the same time and saw him looking straight at her.

"Am I talking to you?" Lhou replied angrily to Haji. Bulk, on the other hand, was just behind Haji and whistling as if watching something.

"Tell him why you can't go with him." Haji said to Lia who was looking at him.

"Huh??" Lia asked, wondering about something but Haji look straight in her eyes and made her realize something.

Lia turned to Lhou and bowed. "Sorry, Y-young Master Lhou. I really can't because we have a t-tutorial session." she said. that's why Lhou frowned.

"What ... I thought it didn't work out ?!" he replied annoyed.

"You just thought that. Come on .. Lia!" Haji replied and asked Lia to move away from Lhou.

As Haji and Lia walked more and more, Bulk smiled and followed them. Because they were walking in the hallway, many people were looking at them and wondering what the young man was doing to Lia.

"Oh my God! Why is he holding that girl in her arm? Are they familiar with each other?," a woman asked.

"What are you?! You know that she became the president's student assistant and my dear Lhou knew her!," answer of the other girl

"What's the connection??"

"Stupid! Probably because Haji and Lhou are related to each other! Sibling ya' know??"

"My God! I love you Haji!" a woman shouted

"No! Haji is mine !!!" the woman was still shouting at their side.

"He's really handsome! Even though his foreheads are furrowed and he has no expression, he's still hot!"

"To you Haji! Lhou is mine! He is an approachable person and very kind." other one replied.

"We're just for Bulk! He's so charming !!!" the other girl said.

"Lia is very lucky! She used to talk to Lhou and now she is with Haji! I hate her !! "

"True! I want to slap her !!"

Those were just some of the conversations as they passed until they reached the front of their classroom. Lia doesn't like what she hears. She is not that kind of person because she knows she only owns the family of the Zhu. But even so, she just kept quiet and exaggerated with Haji even though she wanted to get away. Haji rudely opened It So Xing was shocked by what he saw.

"H-haji, you can let me go." Lia said awkwardly to Haji so the young man immediately let go of it and looked at Bulk who was very happy. He didn't seem to be walking alone to the chair followed by Lia and Bulk.

When Lia sat in her chair next to Xing and looked at her and looked surprised at what she saw.

"Hey! Why is he holding you ?? What's up ?!" Xing asked and slightly turned to Haji's sde.

"H-huh? I don't know. Shhh." she replied to Xing so her friend raised an eyebrow at her but she ignored it.

Lia and Xing no longer talk and both read the book. Lia knew that Xing wanted to know a lot but she chose to keep quiet first because the young man was just behind her. She sighed and recalled Haji's scene in her conversation with Lhou and Haji's exaggeration away from Lhou. He shook her head and turned her attention back to reading when suddenly someone entered their room.

"Sit down everyone !!!!" it shouts and grabs everyone's attention. Her classmates immediately returned to their seats and fell silent.

"Okay! Good morning!" the teacher greeted and smiled.

"Good morning, Ms.!" class replied.

Ms. Toss walk towards the middle of the students and spoke.

"I have an announcement! Tomorrow, there is no class but you still have to go to this school because tomorrow the orientation of the students will be held where will you choose the club you will join. Okay?" said Ms. Toss.

m"Okay Ms.!" everyone's answer and obviously they are all very happy because there is no class.

"Of course. Before I leave, you can go because there is no class today. Bye." the teacher said and the whole class shouted again.

"All right! Young Master, let's go!" Bulk was with Haji but the young man did not speak and walked quietly out of the school.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"Where do you want to eat?"

"Just at home." he replied that's why Bulk just nodded at him.

When they arrived at the parking lot, they immediately left for his apartment.

______________________________

"Wow! You really enjoy cooking, Young Master!" Bulk said even though his mouth was full of food.

"Don't speak, your mouth is full!" Haji rebuked him for simply eating. Bulk stared at him while drinking pineapple juice before speaking.

"What are you looking at?" the young man asked.

"Why did you do that?" smiling Bulk asked him reason to stop him from eating.

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"Stop your hypocrisy because I know, you know what I mean." Bulk laughed.

"I don't know anything." Haji still pretended to respond even though he knew what his friend was referring to.

"Ohh! Why did you join the conversation with Lhou and Lia? you even pulled her away hahahaha!"

"Because I want to annoy Lhou. That's all." he replied and snorted again.

"Really? Is that the only reason?" Bulk asked and stared at Haji. "You don't tend to interfere in other people's conversations."

"Stop imagining unnecessary things, Bulk."

"Anyone who sees you, will think so. Your Grandfather is right, you are changing." Bulk replied seriously.

"I do not know what you are saying. No one can change me. I just did that because I want to annoy Lhou and nothing else. You know I never want to have contact anyone because my life is chaotic. I prefer I am alone than I can even think of the lives of others. " he replied and left the dining room table.
