2 weeks later…..
She looked down at the beautiful sight of all the tall buildings and landscape Hong Kong had to offer. She smiled until her cheeks started hurting; she was probably the most excited person on the whole plane. As soon as they allowed the passengers to take their leave, Xiaoyu was the first one off the plane. After retrieving her luggage, she started looking around for her driver. She looked adorably happy; she received glances and pleased looks from strangers as they passed by due to her stylish appearance: (She proudly wore a loose, off-the-shoulder blouse decorated with rose colored flowers, white denim shorts, and white/pink wedges. Her lips were stained with a light pink rosy colored lipstick, giving her beautiful light skin a pop of color.
Xiao: "Home sweet home." *smiles brightly as she started walking around, still in search of her driver.*
He walked into the large lobby of the airport with his luggage in hand, he was ready to lie down on the comfortable bed of the hotel he would be staying in today. Of course, he received lovely looks from the ladies that passed by him. His whole appearance was definitely easy on the eyes, (A light grey blazer jacket, with a regular white t-shirt underneath, dark blue fitted jeans and dark grey shoes.)
Girl: *nudges her friend* "Look look, he's SO handsome…he looks so unreal."
Girl 2: "Yeah I know, he's like one of the few men on earth who were made perfectly." *blushes*
Though they were ignored, they still had the hots for him.
Jin: *checks his watch* "He should be here by now, I'm sure I told them I would be here around 11:00 AM." *looks around, then starts roaming the lobby*
Only a couple feet away from him now, she stops and orders a green tea bubble tea drink from a nearby shop. As she pays and takes the drink, she finds a nearby bench and sits down to enjoy her drink and check messages on her phone. As she sets down her drink, it pushes her small purse off the edge of the bench and spills the contents inside, her rosy lipstick rolls off in the process but she doesn't take notice.
Xiao: "Aw come on now…."
The tube of lipstick kept rolling until it bumped into the foot of a familiar stranger. He bent down and looked at it, then looked around for a possible owner. There were no women nearby so he kept looking, but once he looked to his right he spotted a young lady sitting on the bench picking up her things from the floor and placing them back into her purse, so he walks towards her but freezes in his tracks when she sits back up and reveals her face.
Jin: *eyes widen* "Is that Xiao?!" *walks towards her with the lipstick in hand but a man in a black suit blocks his way* "Excuse me." *tries to walks around the man but he once again blocks him* "Do you need something?"
Driver: "Hello Mr. Kazama, I'm your driver for this afternoon."
Jin: "Eh? Oh….very well then, let me do something before we leave."
Driver: "Certainly sir." *smiles then steps out of the way*
Jin sets his eyes on the bench where the lovely young lady sat, but unfortunately it was now empty, his eyes wandered all around him to see where she could've gone, but she was nowhere to be found.
Jin: "I swear….I thought that girl looked exactly like Xiao."
Driver: *walks up to him* "Are you alright sir?"
Jin: "Yeah…"
Driver: "Shall we take our leave then?"
Jin: "Yes."
*leaves with his driver and sits himself down in the back of the car.*
(Jin's thoughts)
I could've sworn that girl looked exactly like her….
*looks at the lipstick tube.*
Maybe I was just imagining things? I don't know…
*Rikuto calls*
Jin: *answers* "I've made it to Hong Kong."
Rikuto: "Excellent news sir! Mr. Dao's formal party is tomorrow right?"
Jin: "Yes."
Rikuto: "Have a good time there sir, you should enjoy yourself since you've only got a few more business men to talk with before returning home."
Jin: "I will thanks, talk to you later then."
15 minutes later…
*The driver pulls up to the hotel's entrance and calls on a bell boy to help him unload the luggage.*
Meanwhile….
Xiao: *walks around until a man calls out her name.* "Hmm? That must be my ride!"
Driver: "Hello Miss Xiaoyu, it's a pleasure to meet Mr. Ling's beloved daughter."
Xiao: "Hello, nice to meet you too." *smiles*
Driver: "I'm sorry for the wait, I'll carry your bags"
They exit the airport and head back to the car, he loads all her luggage in the back and starts their journey to the hotel where she would be staying during her time in Hong Kong. As they passed through the city, she points out certain places and buildings she's been in before when she was a child and talked about old memories. When they finally reached the hotel, her driver unloads her luggage and calls a bellboy to help carry her stuff up to her room.
She walks into the lobby and stands in line behind a tall, muscular gentleman talking to the Desk Clerk.
Desk Clerk: *hearts in eyes* "Yes Mr. Kazama, I've….WE"VE been expecting you." *smiles* "Here's your room key." *hands him his room key card and a small piece of paper with her phone number on it.*
Jin: *looks at the piece of paper and returns it.* "I don't think I'll be needing this." *walks away towards the elevator, presses the button and goes up to the 17th floor*
Desk Clerk: "W-wait…hmp how unfair!"
Xiao: *steps up and smiles at the Desk Clerk* "Hello, I have a room already booked. My name is Ling Xiaoyu."
Desk Clerk: *clears throat* "One moment please." *searches up her name* "Ah here you are. Welcome, Miss Xiaoyu."
Xiao: "Thanks….hey are you okay? You look a little down."
Desk Clerk: "Yeah, it's just…I totally got rejected by a hottie just now."
Xiao: "Hmm?" *looks around*
Desk Clerk: "He already left, I tried giving him my number but he returned it and told me: 'I don't think I'll be needing this.' Then he left."
Xiao: "Aw I'm sorry to hear that, but don't get worked up about it. You'll find you're other half soon or later."
Desk Clerk: "Thank you….your words are kind, don't make me cry my makeup will mess up."
Xiao: *smiles* "You're welcome, I've been rejected before too so don't feel too bad." *slightly frowns, remembering the hurt she felt during those times*
Desk Clerk: *nods* "Come down for dinner later tonight, order anything you want cause it's going to be on the house."
Xiao: "Wow….thanks!"
Desk Clerk: *hands over her room's card key.* "No problem Miss Xiaoyu, please enjoy your stay." *smiles*
Xiao: "I will, thanks." *heads off to the elevator, presses the button and goes up to the 17th floor.*
*Her luggage was already placed neatly by her bed.*
"This hotel is amazing…..I'll definitely enjoy tonight's dinner!"
5 hours later…
He stood outside his door coolly leaning against the wall, checking his phone for update texts from HQ's and also updates from Xiao's profile. Suddenly she opened her door and started walking down the hall towards him.
Xiao: *looks through her purse* "Aww..my lipstick isn't here. Boo." * takes out her phone and takes a cute selfie anyways, then uploads it onto her profile with the caption: 'About to head down to dinner…loving it here in Hong Kong (Sorry for the bare lips, I lost my lipstick ) ' *
*He was coincidently on her profile during this time and immediately saw the update.*
Jin: "So cute…..Hong Kong?!" *eyes widen as he stares at her picture* "That flower blouse she's wearing looks familiar." *Thinks back to when he was at the airport earlier today, and remembers the girl on bench wearing the same exact shirt* "I was right, it's her! The lipstick must be hers then."
*She walks by without noticing him at all, but he takes notice of her when he looks up due to the shocking discovery. His bewildered eyes followed her as she walked towards the elevator*
Xiao: "I'll order all my favorites….Peking Duck, Shirmp dumplings and Takoyaki! Yum."
*presses the button and steps inside the elevator*
Jin: *snaps out of his current state of shock* "Xiao?...Wait!" *runs towards the elevator as fast as he could but it was too late.* "Damn it!" *rapidly presses the 'Open' button of the vacant elevator next to him and heads down to the dinner room.*
*His eyes roamed all throughout the room which was filled with people.*
"Where is she?" *spots her sitting at a table all alone, eating.* "Xiao…."
*Starts walking towards her but is suddenly stopped by the Desk Clerk from earlier*
Desk Clerk: *hugs his arm* "Hello Mr. Kazama." *smiles as she looks up at him*
Jin: *looks down at her* "Please let my arm go."
Desk Clerk: "But I….."
Jin: "I'm looking for someone, and you're becoming a distraction."
Desk Clerk: "Maybe we started off on the wrong foot, my name is Lixue."
Jin: *keeps his longing gaze locked on his beautiful Xiaoyu* "Lixue."
Lixue *eyes sparkle with excitement* "Yes Jin?"
Jin: *looks down at her* "Keep it professional and call me Mr. Kazama, and again, let my arm go. I don't plan on playing this flirting game with you."
Lixue: *hurt struck her heart* "Mr. Kazama…..please, give me a chance. I've always been a big fan of yours! You're my dream man; you're everything I'm looking for in a man! I love you…."
Jin: "You don't even know me; you just know my public image. You're only in love with the image of me."
Lixue: "No….I've read things about you online and listened to all your interviews, I feel like I know you."
Jin: "Tsk….that just proves you're just another fan girl."
Lixue: "No….I'm….."
Jin: *looks back to where Xiao was sitting but her seat was once again empty.* "Damn it….I've wasted time talking." *pulls his arm out of her embrace and leaves*
Lixue: *frowns as she watches him leave.* "Why do I always have bad ideas….I approached him all wrong."
As he walked out of the elevator on the 17th floor, he saw her close her door. He slowly walked to her door and raised a fist to knock.
This was it….the moment when he would see her bright face once again in person. But wait, what if she didn't want to see him, after all it's been nearly half a year since they last seen each other and not to mention, her last memory of him wasn't a very happy one. These were the types of thoughts he was thinking at the moment. Suddenly, her door swings open; as soon as he sensed the doorknob wiggle, he quickly hides himself against the wall right next to her door.
Xiao: "Hmmm? I thought I heard someone out here." *shrugs and closes door*
(Jin's thoughts)
What the hell is wrong with me? I'm hiding from a girl, my heart is beating like crazy, I can't think straight and my hands are becoming sweaty.
He wondered why he felt this way… The cause of his body reacting in such a manner was because of one of the few weaknesses he had…Ling Xiaoyu. After spending nearly half a year traveling around the world, dedicating his time in protecting his company he never became fully aware of the blossoming love he had for her.
How are you liking it so far?

I'll post chapter seven as soon as I can!
