You're My Water Kami Rin & Haru Love Story

9. I WANT TO MOVE TO SYDNEY. I'M HELPING YOU BECAUSE

9. I want to move to Sydney.  I'm helping you because April/May 2021

Haru had given a lot of earnest thoughts and had structured his mind about the way, how to approach his trustworthy trainer, Ryuji. They met on Monday, an hour before training and chosen to sit outside, under a tree near the swimming pool of the university. When Haru asked him for a conversation, he already had spoken out his wish to move to Sydney. Rin had given him his opinion on how to verbalize the situation, but it wasn't easy, no matter how perfectly expressed words may be, the content of this matter was too complex and too personal. It made him and Rin vulnerable in a meaningful way.

Ryuji was an earnest person, whom Haru had learnt to trust. He needn't many words to understand a matter. After getting to know each other, they had found a way to communicate clearly, skipping the useless stuff. Both of them preferred the straight and unmasked way. Nevertheless, it took Haru all his energy to keep his cool while opening his chest up. Ryuji listened with a calm expression.

I've decided to move to Sydney! The importance of swimming remains. Also. Fulfilling my goals with the National Team is likewise my first priority aspiration. But... Now... I have one additional first priority. My life changed recently. Now I have one thing more about I dreamt of, for years.

Silence.

Ryuji appeared thoughtful and serious, taking his time.

Either, love is worth it or not. You can never know, till you go through it.

Ryuji stated as simply, as he was speaking about his food blog on Instagram. Haru nodded.

Silence.

Again, Ryuji sank in thoughts. Just then Haru noticed his burning insides and empty head. Naturally, sharing his uttermost secrecy, affected him significantly. The most important thing was, will it be possible? It seemed time stood still around them, like they have boarded a spaceship and were isolated from their surroundings, ready for the take off into a completely different dimension. Haru eyed the trees, the grass they sat on, people, students, birds, but it seemed - an energy shield had emerged between him and the surroundings. Furthermore, the sounds and noises of voices, airplanes or whatsoever sounded muted.

First, I will talk to Mihail, for he has a major influence and connections overseas. If you allow this? Haru nodded. Then, we have to present some good reason for the National Team as there are Japanese sponsors, you have to fulfill your contract with them for promotions, which isn't a big deal. Also, the university in Sydney, where Rin studies ... Ryuji eyed him, - has to give their agreement and to offer you a place. Plan to change your subject or do you want to continue? It's enough for me to finish Arts. I assume it's easier to transfer overseas with this subject.

Ah! You have to consider a university has rules to follow. If you study the two-subject program, you have to choose again. Maybe you'll continue Arts, this is clever, but you'll need a second subject.

Ocean ecology then, Haru said. Ryuji gave him an appreciative look: Interesting!  

Silence.

Hahaha! After the long pause Ryuji's sudden laughter stressed Haru out of his thoughts. Naturally he made an annoyed face.

Mihail will cheer up on that. This I know for sure. Hahaha! Like to see his face. Maybe I'll FaceTime him to tell him. Certainly, Ryuji was aware of Haru's mood but his own mattered more.

What's funny?! Haru didn't hide his annoyance.

Keep calm! It is, like it is! Mihail will really celebrate this event. Hahaha!

There's no event to be celebrated. We insist on not giving anything away. We won't act! - Haru felt not only stressed out but angry. His Will to protect his privacy has hit his alarm. Ryuji shook his head. Well. How many know already? Sigh! You and our Best friends. Haru gave him a sharp look, and... my mother knows too. They are people who protect us. Fine! Don't share with others for a time being. Even in Sydney, where you're free to marry whomever you want, except for an alligator. Hahaha!
