Chapter 1: Confused Emotions
Fuzzy feelings. Hwoarang had no idea when exactly they started, or what the hell caused them. All he knew was that they were there, and he felt strangely empty. He tried all sorts of shit: street fights, women, even harassing an effigy he made that was supposed to look like his rival Jin Kazama. But nothing worked. He began to wonder if his life was all for nothing. The military had done shit to help him—hell, he was glad just to get out—and even training with his mentor Baek just didn't feel the same.
Then Hwoarang's thoughts strayed back to Jin.
The young, serious karate prodigy had been the center of Hwoarang's animosity for the part two years, since the first time they fought. Humiliated but determined, Hwoarang thought he had a shot in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. No such luck. Jin nearly destroyed him, giving the redhead a look of almost pity as he looked at him laying flat on his back.
Hwoarang narrowed his eyes at that memory.
Then, two months ago was the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Burning with ambition, Hwoarang soundly defeated everyone who stood in his way, but the Korean military got him before he could face Jin. Hwoarang was sent to jail and sulked there for two months.
Now here he was, on a Tokyo expressway, just after leaving his homeland.
And his thoughts strayed again on Kazama. There was the fuzzy feeling, tight in his gut, nearly causing him to lose focus. Lately, the feelings, the fuzziness, the gut clenching occurred when Hwoarang thought of his rival.
But nowhere in his mind were any thoughts of a rematch.
"Dammit…" Hwoarang was too confused to think about what the hell was going on. All he knew was that he needed some sleep before he went totally nuts. The investigations about his emotions could start tomorrow, when he was well-rested.
Pulling off the world's most dangerous U-turn, he drove to the hotel he was staying at and, after getting to his room, undressed and went to sleep.
Author's note: Yah, tis not a long chapter, and not much happens. Just wait though, I promise something good in Chapter 2. Chapter 2 is up.
