2:30pm.
Yong-soo, or, Yong-mi skipped out of the bus. The rest followed her, and they all stood in front of Hong Kong's work place.
"Wow, this place is pretty big." Yong-soo grabbed Taiwan's hand, and still skipping, went into the building. "Now, Wan-wan, get into Hong Kong's office, and tell him that I want to get a job. Get in there!" Yong-soo told Taiwan, pushing her to Hong Kong's door.
"Oh, for goodness sakes- All right! But, it's not like Hong Kong and I are that close, you know…" Taiwan grumbled, while knocking hesitantly at Hong Kong's door. There was a silence, and Yao said,
"Is he in there, aru?" As if right on cue, the door opened and Hong Kong came out.
"Taiwan. Yao gege, and Kiku gege also. What are you doing here, with a stranger?" Hong Kong said softly. Taiwan introduced 'Yong-mi' to Hong Kong.
"Hong, this is my friend, Yong-mi from South Korea. She recently quit being Yong-soo's secretary, so I thought that you could take her! Yong-mi, this is Hong Kong." Immediately, everything that indicated 'Yong-mi' was 'Yong-soo', vanished. Yong-soo lowered her eyes to the ground, and started tugging at her hair nervously, then, with a voice bit trembling, said,
"Oh, h-hello! My name is Kim Yong-mi. It's nice you meet you, Mr. Hong Kong." There was a horrified silence from Yao, Kiku, and Taiwan. That wasn't fair! They thought. He's using his acting skills! Hong Kong put out his hand.
"Pleasure is mine. I'm assuming you want a position as my secretary?" Hong Kong asked 'Yong-mi'. Yong-soo raised her head with an eager smile, and shook Hong Kong's hand.
"Oh, yes! I would love to! Uh, I mean, i-it would be very nice, Mr. Hong Kong, if I was to take that position." Yong-soo lowered her head again at the last line, actually making his face go a bit pink. Taiwan and Yao had a somewhat sickened look. Did he have any pride?! Yao thought. Kiku, however, had his eyes shining. This is character ****** from the K-drama ****** ******!!!! Oh, he's acting exactly as **** when she met ****** first! This is exactly like a re-run! I need to write this down! I need to record this! I need to take pictures! No one noticed, but Kiku's otaku side was coming out. His hands were itching to take a photo.
"Alright then. Excuse me, brothers, Taiwan, I'll be back in a moment. Right this way, Miss Kim." Hong Kong said, leading the way to a room in another hallway.
"Ah, yes! Bye Taiwan, wish me luck!" Yong-soo said, smiling at Taiwan. Taiwan noticed he also didn't say 'wan-wan'. Taiwan, Yao, and Kiku exchanged looks. This was going to take longer if Yong-soo kept the act up.
3:00p.m.
Yong-hwan stared at the foggy sea. It was going well. As if the skies were helping, there was a thick fog surrounding Hong Kong's ports. They'll sneak in there easily. If they can't, that's all fine. They have forged an ID card that said they were from Hong Kong. Yong-hwan glared at the captain.
"Can't we go any faster? I want to get there earlier then 4! Who knows what that idiot could do in 2 hours." Yong-hwan complained. If only he could, he would murder someone or something right then and there. But the sound of gunshot wouldn't be good. Yong-hwan stared at the ocean water, and wondered. If he put a taeser in there, would the water electrocute the fishes in the ocean?
3:30 p.m.
Yao, Kiku, and Taiwan were all sitting in front of the interview room, waiting for Yong-soo to come out. Hoping, that Hong Kong would come out with an annoyed face and say, 'Why is Yong-soo here dressed as a girl?!' But the door opened, and out came a smiling Yong-mi. The 4 men came out and shook Yong-soo's hand.
"Out of the whole week we interviewed many people, but you are the best one we've met so far. I don't think there's a need to keep searching. Congratulations, Miss Kim!" And the very pleased looking four judges walked away excitedly. Hong Kong faced Yong-soo.
"Well, I'm sure you'll be a good secretary. I'll see you at tomorrow, 6 o'clock." And he walked away, back into his office. Yong-soo watched him go, then faced his three siblings sitting together. He made a peace sign, and said,
"HA! I got the job, AND he didn't notice me! Do you want extra time? I could give you a month, a YEAR, and I'll still win!" Yong-soo looked so proud of himself. Yao frowned.
"It was just 30 minutes, aru. That's too short. By tomorrow, he'll realize who you are aru! And, we didn't know that you'll act!" Yao complained. Yong-soo rolled his eyes.
"China oppa, I told you to not use that excuse on me. Of COURSE I'll act, I can't just go to him, and go 'Hey Hong Kong! How yah doin' today, brother!' he'll know right away! You want more time? I'll GIVE you, more time." Yong-soo walked to Hong Kong's room, and knocked on it lightly. Hong Kong's voice said,
"Yes? Come in." Yong-soo changed his mask to 'Yong-mi', and quietly opened the door.
"Uum, boss, sir? T-Taiwan and her brothers were planning to celebrate the new job….I was wondering if….you could come along with them? I-I mean, a family outing is good, yes?" he sheepishly asked. Taiwan almost barfed. Yao was in the verge of hitting his head to the wall. Kiku calculated in his head, 'So, the shy girl turns out quite bold when asking for a time, but will the man reject? Or will he be kind, and accept?' The Kiku they knew was gone, and a k-drama otaku, out of the many different otaku side Kiku had, appeared. That was the bad side of being smart, whatever the smart one knows a lot about, he becomes obsessed with, and starts turning into an otaku of that subject.
"Alright. I guess I can. My work's almost over, I can do that tomorrow. I'll be ready in 5 minutes." Hong Kong replied. Yong-soo faked a bright pink blush and said quietly,
"Oh, t-thank you, boss, sir! I,-we'll wait for you!" Yong-soo stumbled on his words as he said it.
"Oh, just call me Hong Kong." Hong Kong said.
"Yes, Hong Kong, sir!" Yong-soo said instantly, and put his hands to his mouth, and looked embarrassed at saying 'sir' stubbornly. He quickly closed the door, and his shy, innocent girlish face turned into a smug grin. "So, China oppa, I think the whole rest of the day will be plenty time, don't you think?" Yong-soo had the glow of superior air, almost guaranteeing that he'll win. Yao didn't meet Yong-soo's eyes.
"Plenty of time until he finds out aru! Just wait! He'll figure it out soon aru!" Yao said in an equally confident voice.
3:45 p.m.
Yong-hwan hopped off his boat. He was very ticked off at arriving only 15 minutes early. At the port, tiger 14-5, Yong-soo's personal spy, came to him.
"Sir, you came here early." He said.
"Wait a second." Yong-hwan said. He turned around, took out his taeser, and shocked the sailor that carried him to Hong Kong. "That feels better. Now, where is he?" Yong-hwan said in a much more care-free voice. The man didn't even flinch, as he said,
"He's in the Government House in the Central District of Hong Kong Island. We are in Hong Kong Island, so it'll be easy to find him, sir."
"Lead the way." Yong-hwan said. And they walked, leaving the old sailor unconscious in his boat.
3:50 p.m.
Taiwan said to Yong-soo,
"But, Yong-soo, you said we're going to party. What are we exactly doing?" Yong-soo shook his head at Taiwan's naive question.
"Taiwan, first of all, you have to get used to calling me Yong-mi. That's what you'll have to call me for the next 7 days in front of Hong Kong. Second, the basic way of partying is to go to a noraebang."
"Don't you mean Karaoke?" Kiku asked. Yong-soo gave him a glare.
"NO, I mean noraebang. And don't you argue with me, Kiku." Yong-soo said. Kiku kept quiet, not wanting to argue about obvious things. "We'll have SO MUCH fun! ...Although, singing Cantonese might be kinda hard…." Yong-soo said thoughtfully. Hong Kong's office door opened, and Hong Kong walked out.
"Shall we go then?" Hong Kong said. They all walked out of the building, and took a bus to the closest karaoke/noraebang place.
They went into a modern looking karaoke/noraebang place. The staff there showed them to a second floor big room. They all sat on the couch, and Yao, Taiwan, and Kiku purposely made Yong-soo sit next to Hong Kong. The room was silent for a moment, then Yao said,
"Well, I guess I'll sing first!" and grabbed the song number book. Yong-soo stifled a groan. He did NOT like it when China hyung started singing. He liked his music just fine, but that was only when it was instrumental. Yong-soo made a pained face and said he needed to go to the bathroom. Once out, Yong-soo decided to walk around until he was sure his China hyung stopped singing. Yong-soo walked down the hallway, looking at the furniture, the interior, and, unconsciously pointing out faults with every little thing. He was too preoccupied with it, he accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh, I apologize!" Yong-soo said. Yong-soo looked up, and the first thing he saw was a gun –pointed at him.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Yong-hwan said. Yong-soo managed a shaky laugh.
"What a pleasant surprise! If it isn't Yong-hwan, of North Korea!" Yong-soo said in a fake cheerful voice.
"Are you…wearing a skirt? Please tell me you're wearing pants under that." Yong-hwan said.
"Um…I'm….wearing underwear under this." Yong-soo said. Yong-hwan gave Yong-soo a tense grin.
"You're sickening me. Change back at once." Yong-hwan said.
"I would love to! That's a GREAT Idea! B-but, the machine won't be fixed until next week, Yong-hwan." Yong-soo said, without any grin this time, staring at the gun that was getting closer to his face. Yong-hwan sighed, and put down his gun.
"Make it 4 days. You'd better get changed by then. Or else, well, I guess we'll just be north and south for a few more decades then. Bye." Yong-hwan said, and walked away. Yong-soo stopped Yong-hwan.
"Wait a moment! Yong-hwan…er, well, stay a bit!" Yong-soo said. Yong-hwan frowned deeply.
"WHAT?" Yong-hwan said. Yong-soo's brain was ticking.
"This is a pretty fun place you know! I think you haven't been to a noraebang since…well…"
"Never." Yong-hwan finished.
"Yeah! That time! So, how about it? And, we've got makgul-le here too! Makgul-le is the symbol of a North Korean drink, hmm?" Yong-soo seduced. "And we have an-juu too! Food! You can have as many as you want! You won't pay a cent of it!" Yong-soo saw Yong-hwan thinking. 'Well, I was going o spy on his personally this whole week anyways, so why not? And, food, that's…good…' he thought.
"Alright then." Yong-hwan said. Yong-soo smiled. 'Finally! When Hong Kong sees Yong-hwan, he'll see he looks a lot like me! I'll introduce him as my brother, and Hong Kong'll think a lot of Koreans look like 'Yong-soo', so he won't start thinking that I'm 'Yong-soo' just because I look like 'Yong-soo'!' Yong-soo thought. Yong-soo brought Yong-hwan to the room they booked. Thankfully, Yao just finished singing. Yong-hwan's eyes widened by the amount of side dishes and alcohol they had on the table. The four Asians looked confused at the appearance of Yong-hwan.
"E-everyone, this is my brother, Kim-"
"Kim Jung-Wo." Yong-hwan quickly said.
"….Right, Kim Jung-Wo. He came here to Hong Kong with me, and just came. I hope he can join us?" Yong-soo finished. Hong Kong looked less confused, and Yao, who have seen Yong-hwan before, looked horrified. The other two, who have never seen Yong-hwan before, looked even more confused.
"Of course he may, Yong-mi." Hong Kong said. Yong-soo and Yong-hwan sat together in the couch. The room turned awkwardly silent again.
"Oh, I guess I'll sing this time." Yong-soo said. Yong-soo turned to Yong-hwan. "What do you think I should sing?" Yong-hwan, not knowing any modern songs, almost suggested Arirang, but decided against it.
"Frankly, I don't care." Yong-hwan said. Yong-soo made a face.
"Alright then, I'll just make up a random number!" Yong-soo grabbed the remote and pushed random buttons. The song came up, and the title was-
"Hong Kong, may I ask why you have a Korean song in your Karaoke?" Kiku asked, when the starting theme of Oh! By Girls Generation came up. Yong-soo looked flabbergasted also.
"I did not make this program, don't ask me. But the song IS quite popular." Hong Kong pointed out. Yong-soo hurriedly grabbed the microphone, and sang.
"전에 알던 내가 아냐(It's not the old me) brand new sound, 새로워진 나와 함께(With the brand new me) one more round, Dance, dance, dance, 'till we run this town. 오빠 오빠,(oppa, oppa) I'll be, I'll be down, down, down, down," Yong-soo, who made the music himself, couldn't help but dance to the music instantly. He saw Yong-hwan's horrified, angry face. He saw YAO's horrified face. He saw Taiwan having no clue what the song's about. He saw Kiku blushing crazily. He saw lastly, Hong Kong, looking very comfortable. (feel free to ignore the translation of the song below. The original song: .com/lyrics/36211/girlsgeneration/oh!.html# I hate how it says J-pop, but…)
"Hey 오빠 나 좀 봐 나를 좀 바라봐(Oppa look at me, please look at me.)
첨이야 이런 내 말투, ha (I never spoke this way before)
머리도 하고 화장도 했는데 (I did my hair and put on make-up)
왜 너만 너만 모르니 (Why is it only you you that don't know)
두근 두근 가슴이 떨려와요 (thump thump, my heart is shaking)
자꾸 자꾸 상상만 하는걸요 (I keep keep imagining things)
어떻게 하나 콧대 높은 (How do I do this, the me with my big pride)
내가 말 하고 싶어 (I want to say this)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, 빠를 사랑해 (Oh-pa, I love you)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, 많이 많이 해 (very, very much)
수줍으니 제발 웃지 마요, (Please don't laugh, I'm shy)
진심이니 놀리지도 말아요 (I'm serious, so don't tease too)
또 바보같은 말 뿐야 (saying only stupid things)
전에 알던 내가 아냐 brand new sound (It's not the old me)
새로워진 나와 함께 one more round (with the brand new me)
Dance, dance, dance, 'till we run this town
오빠 오빠, I'll be, I'll be down, down, down, down (Oppa oppa)
오빠 잠깐만 잠깐만 들어봐 (Oppa wait, wait and listen)
자꾸 한 얘기는 말고 (Stop keep on saying other things)
동생으로만 생각하지 말아 (Don't think of me as a younger sister)
일 년 뒤면 후회 할걸 (You'll regret it in just 1 year)
몰라 몰라 내 맘을 전혀 몰라 (no no you don't know my heart at all)
눈치 없게 장난만 치는걸요 (Cluelessly you're just teasing me)
어떻게 하나 이 철없는 사람아 (How do I do this, you immature person)
들어봐 좀 만 (Please listen to this)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, 빠를 사랑해 (Oh-pa, I love you)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, 많이 많이 해 (Very very much)
수줍으니 제발 웃지 마요, (Please don't laugh, I'm shy)
진심이니 놀리지도 말아요 (I'm serious, so don't tease too)
또 그러면 나 울지도 몰라 (If you do it again, I just might cry)
전에 알던 내가 아냐 brand new sound (It's not the old me)
뭔가 다른 오늘 만은 뜨거운 맘 (The today that's somehow different, with a burning will)
Down down, 이러지마 화난다 (Don't do this, I'll get angry)
오빠 오빠 이대로는 no, no, no, no (Oppa oppa, this way)
Tell me boy, boy, love it, it, it, it, it, it, it, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, 빠를 사랑해 (oh-pa, I love you)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, 많이 많이 해 (Very very much)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 빠를 사랑해 (Oh-pa, I love you)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, 많이 많이 (Very very)
또 바보같은 말 뿐야 (again, only stupid words)
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 빠를 사랑해 (Oh-pa, I love you)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, 많이 많이 해 (very very much)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 빠를 사랑해 (Oh-pa, I love you)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, 많이 많이, oh. (very very)" Yong-soo finished. He saw that Yong-hwan and Yao's face still looked very….horrified. Taiwan still didn't have a clue, and Kiku was actually drinking to make himself ignore the song. Hong Kong politely clapped. Yong-soo sat back down, between Yong-hwan and Yao. What he didn't notice, was Yong-hwan hadn't touched the food at all, and had spent the last 4 minutes just listening and looking at him. He didn't notice Yao was trying his hardest not to look at him, and that he was blushing so hard, his ears were crimson red. He didn't notice Kiku staring at Yong-soo's cheerful face, thinking very hard. Most of all, he didn't notice he, was getting more into his acting than planned.
*Bold= translation part of song
Afkaweoitluidfjlag…..this was a HARD chapter. And North will always have a weapon, whether if it's a perverted story like this, or my dark mafia one! ;3 Sorry if my translation for the song SUCKED, but it was better –I think- then the one in that website. If you want to go to it, delete the # sign at the end of the address. I also got the 'kanji' lyrics from that website. They called it 'kanji'. But it's HANGUL. It's F**IN KOREAN!!!!!!!!!!! YOU F***IN F***ERS FROM THAT F**IN WEBSITE, WHO DON'T KNOW **** ABOUT THE K-POP, SHOULD GO F****IN- Sorry, my 'north side came out. I'm not lying, I'm 1/4th North Korean. My mother's parents ran from North Korea, when they didn't have a border yet. I found that F*in cool. Poor Taiwan, not knowing the point of the song at all, because she doesn't understand Korean! I decided to put the Hangeul instead of the translated version, because Yong-soo was singing it in Korean. It would be weird if he was singing the song in English. Yao and Kiku know the song because they like K-pop….well, China and Japan civilians do, so I guess they should like it too.
Arirang- shame on YOU if you don't know this. The Korean…traditional…..song. It's more famous than their national anthem. Like, seriously, wtf's with that?
K-drama otaku- Apparently, in Korea, you aren't even a star until you have Japanese women fans following you around. :D I saw that in TV. Yes, I have Korean channels. It's pure awesomeness. 'Otaku' isn't manga/anime nerd, it's just, nerd, or so I heard from my Jap. Friend.
Taeser- OMG, I just had to put this in. Violent North, FTW! (Hetalia wise, not Real life wise)
Government House in the Central District of Hong Kong Island- I looked it up on Wiki. Sorry if it's weird/wrong. But I don't know a grain of rice's worth about Hong Kong's government.
Noraebang/Karaoke- It should be clear Noraebang is the korean version of Karaoke. If you don't know karaoke, FAIL. It's a place where you sing. There's a TV showing you the lyrics of the song.
Oh! Girl's generations- while watching the Korean channel, there was a 'music break' session, and the Girls's generation (소녀시대, a Korean Girl band/singers) was up. They were singing 'Oh!' (go to the web I put to hear it) and it was INSPIREING. But their fan boys….were scary sounding. They were chanting in their DEEP LOW MANLY VOICES, 'We Love You, Girl's Generations' in Korean….scary…..you just, don't hear guy's voices in the audience. All you hear are girl voices. Even when the girl bands were up.
