Chapter 344: Rendezvous (2)

He was also feeling guilty for practically lying to her about coming up with the training plan. If he truly wanted to pursue her, then starting things off with a lie was definitely not something that he wanted.

With these thoughts, he grabbed his phone from the bedside table and opened up his contacts list. After opening up Miho’s details, he paused for a moment.

“I need to set things right.” He said softly.

With that, he began to type a message which ended up being a few paragraphs long.

After re-reading it a few times he let out a sigh and deleted it. Who would want their first mail to be a novel?

After almost an hour of typing and deleting, Daichi finally settled on something.

“Hey, it’s Daichi. You up?”

Of course this was likely 10 times worse than whatever novel he had written and discarded before, yet being the naive teen that he was, he did not know its meaning.

Apparently, neither did Miho since she replied not long later.

“Heya I was just thinking about you.”

Daichi felt his heart jump up to his throat as he stared at the message in front of him. He didn’t know how to react to such words, especially since this was the first time he’d messaged someone of the opposite sex.

Just as he was about to formulate a response, his phone vibrated once more.

“Want to meet up somewhere?”

This time, Daichi’s heart began to beat fast as he read the words. He felt that if his chest wasn’t restricting it, his heart would beat right out of it.

Instantly, Daichi was torn.

He had promised his Dad that he wouldn’t try and pursue Miho until he got to America, yet he wanted to clear up any misunderstanding as soon as possible.

Daichi who had been restricted too many times in his life, finally took the first step in being rebellious.

“Ok tell me where and when.”

Just because he decided to do this, didn’t mean he was doing so out of malice. He still intended to keep his promise, only after telling her the truth about the training plan.

“Meet me near the baseball fields at 11:30pm.”

Daichi checked his phone and saw that it was only around 10:30pm which meant he needed to wait for a while longer.

By the time it was time to leave, his nerves were shot. He stealthily crept out of bed, peeping over at his brother who was still snoring softly as if he was having the most peaceful sleep in the world.

The funny thing was, it didn’t look like he’d moved ever since he fell asleep.

Still, Daichi didn’t want to get busted, especially by Ken. Therefore he took his sweet time, making sure to open and close the door as stealthily as possible.

As he entered the hallway, he felt his heart thumping loudly in his chest, pumping adrenaline into his body. It was good that he’d left early, since it meant that he could take his time to remain unseen.

However, what Daichi didn’t know was that there was no real curfew in the University. Since everyone was considered an adult, the faculty posed no such restrictions.

So instead of walking like a normal person, Daichi’s actions pretty much screamed that he was being suspicious.

By the time he had stealthily made his way to the lobby, a security guard confronted him.

“What are you doing?”

Daichi’s face fell. His first time sneaking out and he was unceremoniously captured by a security guard. Instantly his mind went into panic as he tried to think of ways he could get out of his current predicament.

“Let me guess, you just moved to the dorms this semester?” The guard asked.

He had been stationed here for a few years and did not recognize the face of this person. However, since he’d caught him on the camera’s walking from the dorm’s, he made a guess.

“A-Ah, yes I just came to the dorms today.” Daichi responded, not exactly lying.

The security guard let out a chuckle before patting him on the shoulder.

“There’s no curfew here man. Just don’t go around being suspicious.” He said with amusement.

“Oh… Thank you.” Daichi said, realizing his mistake. He quickly bowed a few times to the nice man and went on his way towards the baseball field.

The guard watched his retreating figure and couldn’t help but laugh again.

“Man, I swear these kids are starting to look younger and younger these days.” He muttered.

Despite getting away scot-free, Daichi felt his heart racing. The experience had almost shaved a few years from his lifespan.

Only when he got outside did he start to feel a little better. There were lights lit up along the path which made it easier for him to see where he was going.

Soon enough, Daichi found himself at the Baseball field and he began to look around for Miho.

“Hey, over here.”

He heard a soft voice from the dark side of the field, near the bullpen.

“H-Hey…” Daichi replied before jogging over to her.

She was dressed in a simple short dress with short shorts on, her white legs reflecting the moonlight. Daichi did his best not to stare at her which was far harder than he had expected.

Once he arrived, she led him to one of the seated areas and gestured for him to sit down.

Daichi could only comply, feeling his nerves increase even further.

There was a stuffy silence that hung between them for a while as Daichi tried to find the appropriate words to say. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he looked up and saw Miho looking at him.

“Ah”

Daichi instantly forgot his words as he saw her pretty face staring at him. Her soft eyebrows and intelligent green eyes were enchanting, causing him to gulp subconsciously.

Miho smiled in amusement as she saw how coy the younger boy was. Since she was in her 3rd year of high school, she’d be turning 18 soon, so she was just under 2 years his senior.

“What’s on your mind?” She said sweetly.
