A Reason To Live

Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken or it's characters. I only own my original character Hwa-Young

Baek woke up early, As always, Showering quickly and returned to his room to dress, He'd fetch the car in a moment and take his guest to the hospital, As soon as she woke. Might be a bit much to wear a full suit. So he merely put on a shirt and and pants, Sitting on the bed to slip on his shoes when he heard her outside, Moving across the hall in a rush.

He rose up from the bed, Stepping out of his room and slide the door closed behind him. Approaching the bathroom quietly. Listening to the disturbing sounds of the girl throwing up. He pushed the door up slightly and came behind her. Reaching out slowly to pull the hair out of her face. As she continued coughing up violently for a few minutes.

He stepped back when she stood up, Allowing her the space to wash her face and mouth. First passing out and now vomiting... Her ailment... Could it be? He shook his head. Not his business. "Come on... We're going to take a drive..." He said simply. Drawing her attention to him.

"Where are we going?" She raised a eyebrow at him... Expecting him to ask her to leave by now. But she followed him regardless, Out to his car. It wasn't to fancy, But still something she couldn't even dream to afford. He must have quite a income.. She thought. Staring idly at the vehicle for quite some time. Until he called her attention. Holding the passenger door open for her.

She smiled slightly, Getting in and watched him move around to the other side before examining the inside of the car with a interested expression.

He watched her and raised a eyebrow. "You look like you've never seen a car before. Is it really that interesting?" He chuckled slightly at her wondering eyes, Before they turned to him with a curious smirk. "Of course I've seen a car before. But their never really this fancy.. You loaded?" She asked with a playful grin.

"Loaded, I wouldn't go that far.. But I have some money... Though not on me.. So don't think about trying to mug me again." He replied. Pulling on the seatbelt and started the engine. Noticing she was still staring at him. "What is it?"

"Marry me." She said simply. Though her expression relieved the playfulness in behind the words. He laughed quite loud. "Sorry, But I'd have to at least know a ladies name before I would consider wedding her."

She chuckled slightly, Looking down and pulled the seatbelt around her. Feeling the sick feeling in her stomach again and groaned slightly. "Hwa-Young..." She replied in a mumble... "My name is Hwa-Young."

He didn't look in her direction as he drove off away from his residence. "Baek Doo San.." He replied and smirked again. "Just so you know. That doesn't mean we're engaged."

This time she gave a slight laugh before coughing and holding her stomach. She was starting to feel ill all over again. And faint... Also. Was it getting really hot in here.

He spared her a glance. Hoping she wouldn't get sick in his car. "So, Where do you live? Not around these parts I'm guessing." He asked. Making small talk. The hospital wasn't much further from here.

"Nowhere... I mean.. I used to live further east... But I couldn't pay my rent and the landlord threw me out... I've been homeless since then.." She replied. Looking out the window. "Where are we going?"

"To the hospital.." He said simply. Surprised when she suddenly Lunged forward and tried to take hold of the wheel, Desperately seeking to take control. He out powered her easily and pulled up at the side. "What are you doing!?"

"I'm not going to the hospital! No hospitals! Let me out right now!" She yelled and pulled the seatbelt off. Opening the door and hopped out quickly. Starting to walk back the way they had came.

Baek watched her through the rear view mirror and sighed, Reversing the car towards her. "Get back in the car. Don't be silly, You're sick..." He said. Watching her when she just kept going.

"No... I'm not going to the hospital... Those people aren't interested in helping people like me... Just leave me alone Doo San.." She growled and kept walking. Looking annoyed when he continued to reverse by her side.

"Just get in the car Hwa-Young... If you don't want to go the hospital... At least let me take you somewhere off the streets... You cannot just go walking around when your clearly quite unwell.."

She stopped walking and looked at him with a visible scowl, Before giving in and getting back inside... "Fine.. But no hospitals..." She said firmly. He merely nodded and pushed a button to lock the doors and continued driving on.

The rest of the journey was quiet. She scowled deeply when they pulled up outside the hospital. "Doo San! You said no hospital!" She growled and tried to pull the door open to get out. Finding it locked. She shot him a venomous glare. "Unlock it."

"In a moment... As soon as you've seen sense.." He said firmly. Looking at her. He switched the engine off for the moment and removed the seatbelt to face her fully. "I can tell you clearly don't care much for your own health... But perhaps you should consider the possibility. That it's not just about you anymore.."

Her eyes widened slightly. "What the hell do you mean by that!? You know what... I don't care... I'll get a checkup... Just let me the fuck out of here!" She yelled. Feeling a aching pain in her abdomen again. Though she hid it behind clenched teeth.

He sighed, Not approving of the foul mouth and unlocked the car. Getting out and escorted her inside. Despite her backlash that she could go in alone. He just walked up to the reception. "Excuse me, Any chance to have this girl looked at?" He said.

The reception looked at him before turning to the girl beside him. "Sorry to say sir. But we are quite busy. Not just anybody can walk in and get seen... Do you have an appointment? Because you don't look like you have a serious condition." She said softly, Slightly regretful at having to turn people away.

"Let's just go Doo San... I told you this was a fucking waste of time, These people don't give a fuck about the likes of me." Hwa-Young hissed. Not waiting for him as she turned and left the building. Leaning against the wall and reached into her pocket. Good thing she remembered to transfer these between outfits. She smirked. Flipping the box open and pulled out a cigarette, Slipping it between her lips and grabbed the lighter from the same place. Lighting the thing up and took a deep breath.

Baek stayed behind. Talking to the reception for a few minutes later before following her outside and his expression darkened, Quickly closing the distance between them and yanked the foul object away from her. Dropping it to the ground and crushed it under his foot.

She looked surprised. "Hey! What the fuck!?" She said. Going to grab another when the whole box was yanked away. Earning him another hateful glare. "Give that back! You can't just take my fucking stuff!"

"Stop swearing..." He replied and threw the box in a nearby bin, Ignoring her screech of protest and went back to his car. "Come on... I'll drop you off somewhere.. As I promised.."

"Tch... Whatever... Mr-smoking-is-fucking-bad-San..." She snorted. Getting back in the car with arms crossed over her chest. Making a attempt to ensure he knew how annoyed she was right now.

He paid no attention to the continued bad mouth, Getting in the car and dropped a bag in the back. Drawing her attention to that. He drove back home quietly. Taking the item the reception had recommended to him for the symptoms he explained.

She looked at him. "I thought you were dropping me off somewhere? This is your place..." She said. Quite confused about why he brought her back here and looked at the bag as he handed it to her and opened the door.

0She followed him in. Staring at the tiny box in the bag and huffed. "Really? Why the fuck did you get this?" She crossed her arms again. The same scowl appearing on her face.

"Just take it... What you do after that is completely up to you... I won't interfere again.." He replied and went upstairs to change again. Soon the students would be here for another lesson. He left her be. Going to the small dojo downstairs and prepared things.

She lingered for a while. Hesitate to take the test... "Ah fuck it!" She hissed. Heading to the bathroom.

She wandered downstairs a short time later. Back in her original outfit and looked over at Baek. "Hey Doo San.." She called, Resting a arm against the door thrame. Waiting for him to look over his shoulder at her. "Turns out you were right... As much as I fucking hate to admit it.. It's not just about me anymore..."

He gave a slight smile. Turning his attention back to the things he needed for today's lessons. Though he felt her eyes still on his back. "So... What are you going to do now?" He asked.

She shifted slightly. "Fuck if I know... Guess I gotta clean up my act and get a job or some fucking shit like that... This wasn't really on my list of things to do.." She replied with a hint of a chuckle in her voice.

"What about the father? Won't he support you?" He said as he stood up straight. Dragging a punching bag out from the closet and raised it up. Attaching it to the clip on the ceiling. "Not that it's my business.." He looked over when she was silent. Head turned away. "You don't know who he is?"

That made her spit and glare. "Of course I fucking do! I'm not a whore! I might not have money! But I do have dignity! The guy's just a total fucking dick.. He wouldn't give a shit.. Never did." She said. Turning her back to him as she prepared to leave. "Oh... By the way. Doo San?"

His attention was now drawn to the sign on the wall as he sat before it and waited for his students arrival. "Yes Hwa-Young?"

She hesitated slightly again before taking deep breath. "As much as a fucking annoying bossy ass you were... I just want to say... Thanks... I owe you..." She mumbled. Just loud enough for him to hear as she hurried away and disappeared out the door.

A small smile spread across his face. Despite the need to throw a insult in front of it. If she could muster up some gratitude, Then maybe she'd be just fine... "You're welcome.." He muttered back. Fully aware that she was already gone.
