CHAPTER 12 – THE PLAN

That night…Julia Chang wept. She sobbed and cried until her heart couldn't feel hurt no more…she had fallen in love with the Korean, whose charm, arrogant and selfish ways fascinated her. She had never met someone like him before…and when she did, her mind warned her, but unfortunately…her heart took over and she allowed herself to fall head over heels in love with him.

She was humiliated for asking him to have the pleasure of sharing her room, and then he betraying her to a better offer – Asuka.

Though Asuka had no idea of how Julia felt, she still couldn't help but feel Asuka did this on purpose, though she knew it wasn't true, she wished it to be. She just wanted someone to blame…

Julia Chang was always considered sensible, positive and strong. Though she was…her heart kept on the very windy side of care, being actually tender and extremely vulnerable. On that night, Julia vowed she would never feel the same about him again…she would get rid of every last inch of love she had for him and fill that space with hate.

It was the only way…to mend her broken heart…

"…Xiaoyu?"

Xiaoyu's eyes fluttered open as she heard someone speak her name. She lifted her head quickly and saw Jin! He was awake…those deep black eyes staring at her. She gave him a small smile of relief…

"Oh Jin, are you okay?" She asked.

"…Im fine." He replied.

"I was so worried about you, I…" She trailed off and sighed. "Asuka managed to save you; you're be alright for a while now…" She nodded.

"…I don't care about that." Jin shook his head.

Xiaoyu looked at him slightly confused…

"I want…I wanted to thank you." He said.

Xiaoyu smiled and shrugged lightly. "For what?"

"…For saving me," He nodded. "You came to me…I knew you'd find me." He said giving her a small smile.

Xiaoyu giggled and slipped her hand in his like she had done the previous night. "It was nothing, really." She nodded happily.

"…Thank you." He said again, and closed his eyes peacefully.

Xiaoyu smiled brightly and stood. He was alright now, she could leave him be for a few hours. She slowly leant down and kissed his forehead. "…Sleep." She said softly and left the room…

Closing the door she banged into Julia – who was looking tired. "Oh! Julia! Sorry, I didn't see you." Xiaoyu apologised.

"No worries." Julia said forcing a smile. Xiaoyu knew something was wrong…

"Oh dear, you wanna talk, Jules?" She asked.

Julia sighed, Xiaoyu knew her too well! "Hmm?" Xiaoyu asked.

"…Yeah," Julia nodded. "Yeah I guess." She smiled.

The two girls went to Julia's room, and it was there Julia confided in her friend completely and revealed all her feelings and the happenings of the other night, Xiaoyu listened carefully to Julia and soon grew angered by what she was hearing!

"WHAT!?" Xiaoyu shouted.

"Look, don't worry about it, Xiaoyu…I don't care, I've umm…I've had a good think and Im fine now, don't you worry." Julia nodded.

Xiaoyu frowned and breathed in through her nose thoroughly. "That jerk! Loser! Idiot…I'll have Jin beat him up, ya know! Their rivals remember, so Jin wouldn't hesitate to do so!" Xiaoyu exclaimed.

Julia laughed. "Hmm, Im sure he wouldn't but I'll pass…you see, if Jin did, then I'd miss out." She giggled. Xiaoyu laughed and then sighed, as she saw the look upon her friend's face.

"…Oh Jules," She said. "Men are rats, really." She nodded.

Julia nodded. "I know that now." She said. "Well anyway, I think Im going to go make myself look nice, and it doesn't matter to me what he does from now on." She nodded.

Xiaoyu grinned. "You go girl!" She giggled and watched as Julia pranced off to the bathroom.

Once alone, Julia's smile faded and sighed. She searched through her bags of clothing and picked out her denim skirt and green tank top…it was time for her to go back to her roots…

Meanwhile, Hwoarang and Asuka emerged from her room.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Asuka raged.

"Because…uhh." Hwoarang sighed.

"Ohh…Julia might get the wrong idea…and probably already has…" Asuka sighed. "But don't worry…Im gonna help ya, hehe, I'll have you two together in no time."

"What!? N, no…not me and Julia Chang, we're just friends and I thought I told you to forget about this crazy plan." Hwoarang protested.

"Hmm…alright, but you agreed!" Asuka frowned.

"That was just to piss Jules off." He laughed.

"Alright, I'll stop…oh, wait, here she comes! Shhh!" Asuka hushed.

Julia came from the corner…and she certainly had gone back to her roots!

She was positively glowing out with beauty, her two plaits high up, her glasses gone, her lips shiny with gloss, a green tank top revealing her flat stomach, brown boots decorated with lace and beads and a headset upon her brunette locks with a gold band and a pink feather…

"Uhh…morning." Hwoarang said, unsure how she would answer him after his absence last night.

Julia merely nodded to him and walked on…

"Uhh…where ya heading?" He called after her.

Julia didn't look back but carried on…

"Oh crap." Hwoarang said. "She really is pissed." He sighed.

"Really? She didn't seem that bad." Asuka said.

"No, you don't know her…if she was angry she'd be in your face about it, have a massive go at you then blank you…but, this is just weird…she didn't even say anything or shout at me." Hwoarang said confused.

"Well, maybe you should tell her nothing happened…and then I'll tell her about the plan." Asuka nodded.

"ARE YOU NUTS?" Hwoarang exclaimed. "One…why should she care if nothing happened? We're just friends! And two if she knew you had some crazy plan to make her jealous just so she'd fancy me she'd kill us both."

"Alright! Sorry…but why did you agree to my plan, huh?" Asuka asked.

"Just…wanted to, annoy her, like I said."

"Yeah right, you wanted her to like you." Asuka taunted.

"…I really didn't." Hwoarang said coldly. "And now because of your 'plan' she thinks I took your offer instead of hers and we got it on." He sighed.

Asuka gave him a sly smile. "You say you don't like her…but then why do you care what she thinks then?" She cocked up an eyebrow.

"Oh shut it." Hwoarang said rudely and walked off.

Asuka hated being insulted and had a good mind to go and teach him a lesson…with her fists. But, she had something better in mind…she was going to continue her plan…and get Hwoarang and Julia together, without Hwoarang even knowing he was part of it.

She laughed and a mischievous smile crept upon her pretty face. "I have to find Xiaoyu and Steve!" She said and began to look for them. Once she persuaded them to help her, and told them that nothing happened the other night…Hwoarang and Julia were going to be falling head over heels for one another!

Sorry about this. I rushed the chapter a bit...but it will pick up once more. Have many ideas too...
