A/N: HEY PEOPLES! Yup, its Thee Slushee with yet another story! This one is based on one of the situations that one of my friends has experienced so yeah, BASED ON A TRUE STORY! Now some bits in the story may seem OOC but I'll try my best to keep everyone in character as well as going through what has happened in this and some bits I made up. Ok, without further adieu, to the first chapter of the story!
Chapter 1: The Big Day
The monotonous alarm ring had disrupted Hwoarang's slumber. Hwoarang groaned and put the pillow over his head. Somehow, the alarm ring travelled through the pillow and into his ears. Letting out an annoyed groan, Hwoarang hammered a fist over his alarm clock, ceasing the ring immediately. He through his legs over the side of the bed, his red bangs falling in front of his eyes, muttering something about getting an alarm clock that was less annoying but such an alarm clock doesn't exist. He stood up and stretched. He glanced at his calendar and realised that today was the big day.
Hwoarang had applied for a competition to create a new band. His years of experience of being a lead guitarist had to be put to good use. He stared at the time displayed on his alarm clock. It read 7:30. He had approximately two and a half hours to get ready and go there. He walked over to his electric guitar sitting proudly on a stand on the far side of his apartment. It was the standard black and white electric but on the bottom there was a silver skull and crossbones marking with angry red eye sockets, the same marking embedded on his motorcycle. Also, on the fingerboard, the letters of his name was placed on the frets (A/N: Its in the same material the dots on the frets are made out of k?).
"Today's the big day." Hwoarang muttered under his breath as he carefully took the guitar from its stand and started polishing it (A/N: Yup, guitar polish does exist!).
About an hour later, Hwoarang was all set to go down to the hall where it was all happening. He was wearing a red and black vest and black pants with red down the sides with many buckles. A pair of goggles sat on top of his head, which made his hair spike back. A pair of old sneakers and black fingerless gloves completed the outfit. His electric guitar was hanging on his back, acoustic in left hand and amp plus leads and plugs in his right hand.
After a few minutes, he arrived in the parking lot. He walked up to his red Nissan Skyline GT-R, opened the boot and carefully placed his equipment in it. After he had slammed the boot shut, Hwoarang looked over his shoulder to his motorcycle, which was sitting all alone in an empty parking space, longing for a ride. Hwoarang finally tore his eyes away from his motorcycle, got into his car and started up the engine. Even though the motorcycle had more freedom, the roar of the engine made Hwoarang smirk. He backed the car up and drove out of the parking lot and towards his goal.
Asuka's radio alarm clock instantly exploded with sound as hardcore rock music blared from the speakers. Asuka immediately shot up in her bed, eyes wide with terror. A few minutes of registering that it was her wake up call, she pressed the button on top of the alarm clock and the radio had ceased. Asuka rubbed her forehead as she asked herself why she put the radio on Rock FM. Asuka got out of bed and stretched, glancing at her bedside calendar. As soon as she caught sight of the date today she shrieked.
"Oh my god! The competition's today!"
Asuka had also registered for the competition to create a band. She was an expert keyboardist and she wanted to do something with that talent. Only having two hours to prepare herself, she had some coffee and instantly, the half asleep Asuka was gone. She began fluttering to every corner of the room, practicing some keyboard, having breakfast and a shower and getting ready for the event.
During all this chaos, her phone started to ring and everything had ceased when she picked up the phone.
"Hello, Asuka here." Asuka said cheerfully.
"You ready for the big day?" It was Jin, her older brother, on the other line.
"Of course I'm ready bro!" Asuka said, holding the phone against her shoulder as she picked out what she was going to wear.
"You do realise that there will be lots of skilled musicians there and it will take hard work to make it in the band." Jin said.
"I'll jus try my best and see what happens. This is going to be so awesome! Are you going to come and watch?" Asuka asked.
"Don't think I can watch but I wish you the best of luck, Suki." Jin said in a supportive tone.
"Thanks Jin, seeya later!" With that, she turned the phone off and returned to her doings.
After an hour and fifteen minutes, she was ready to go. Asuka was wearing a pale blue tank top with bootleg jeans. A purple visor sat in her light brown hair. Asuka had to make a couple of trips from her apartment to her light blue Subaru WRX to get all her necessary equipment in her car, which took about 20 minutes. After all this, she drove away in her car and towards her goal.
A/N: Ok, I admit, that kinda sucked. This original situation happened at an orchestra but I was like "Hwoarang is not the kind of person to play an orchestral instrument." I mean, can u imagine him playing the flute or a trumpet? Not going to happen. It took me ages to think this up. I kno, its kind of a crossover of Rockstar INXS and musical instruments but yeah…..cudnt think of anything else.I found it sooo hard to write this chapter but REVIEW!
