At night time, Juri was on her way back to the hotel, Hwoarang was in his bed thinking about what the lady said to him. Juri then walked into the room
"Hey i'm back, have you taken your rest yet?" Juri asked.
Hwoarang ignored her completely, so she got mad and pushed him out of his bed.
"Hey why did you do that for?" Hwoarang asked.
"Did you heard anything I just said to you right now?" Juri asked
"Oh no i'm sorry, I was just thinking about something, what's up?"
"I asked if you have taken your rest already!"
"Yes I have, i'm oke."
"Great, i'm going to bed, what are you going to do?"
"I think I'm going outside for a while."
"Oh now you're going outside huh? Whatever, i'm going to bed, good night." Juri said when she went to sleep.
Hwoarang went outside and stood infront of the hotel, he didn't go for a walk, the only thing he did was training on his own, just like he did in Korea.
It was in the middle of the night, Hwoarang was still training on his own, trying to improve his moves. He even learned a new poweful move he thought about himself. Hwoarang eventually thought about what happend when Juri came in.
"Man, Juri was really mad this time, maybe I should spend some more time with her. I have avoided her a lot of times because of my problem, so I owe her something." Hwoarang said as he continued his training.
Juri awoke and heard something outside, she heard that Hwoarang was still outside training. So she went outside to ask him why he was still there. Hwoarang was done training, but he heard somebody was coming, Juri walked outside and approached him.
"Would you just go to bed already, we have to go to..." Juri said.
Hwoarang walked up to her and kissed her on the lips.
"Good night." Hwoarang said when he gave her a tap on the shoulder and went back inside.
"Wow, what was that all about? Not that I didn't liked it, but I just know that there is still something wrong with him. Whatever I'll find out tomorrow." Juri said as she went inside to get some sleep.
The next morning, Juri got up around 10 o'clock and took a shower. When she was almost done, she tried to wake up Hwoarang.
"Hwoarang hey, wake up it's time to go." Juri said.
He didn't woke up and turned to his left side, then she heard a knock on the door. It was the same lady that came through yesterday when Hwoarang was alone. She opened the door and the lady walked in.
"Roomservice, here is your breakfast Juri. Hey where is Hwoarang?" the servant lady asked.
"He is still sleeping and we have to go. Can you wake him up for my while i'm getting ready to leave?" Juri asked.
"Sure i'll wake him up, it's good that I got my whistle in my pocket."
"Wait, you can't do that, it's still morning you know."
"Don't worry, these walls are soundproof, they won't hear much."
The lady blew on her whistle in his ear and Hwoarang fell out of his bed with his pillow and sheets next to him.
"So you're finally awake, put your clothes on we have to go. The Boxing Club is about to start in 2 hours." Juri said.
"Aawh my ear, was that really necessary? I hear a strange noise in my ear, it sounds like a bell." Hwoarang said tired when he touched his ear.
"Yes it was necessary, we have to go to the Boxing Club to go see Steve!"
"I'll get ready oke, give me a couple minutes." Hwoarang said when he got ready.
He took a shower, puts his clothes on with his goggles on his head, and left with Juri. While they walked to the Boxing Club, Hwoarang wanted to know something.
"Hey, I heard that the Boxing Club will have a suprise after the semi-finals, do you know what the surpise is?" Hwoarang asked curious.
"No I don't know what it is, it might be something unforgetable." Juri said sneaky.
They arrived at the Club and went inside, when they looked around, Steve approached right away.
"Hey Hwoarang, Juri! You made it, good to see you again. Go sit down and enjoy the show all right?" Steve said.
Juri made some signals at Steve and there for he remembered what he had promised her.
"Oh hey Hwoarang, can I talk to you for a minute?" Steve asked.
"Sure man, i'll be right back, you can go sit down." Hwoarang said when he walked away with Steve.
"Ok what's up man?" Hwoarang asked.
"I spoke with Juri yesterday, she told me that you are having some issues. You know that you can talk to me about it right?" Steve said understanding.
"Hm, I don't know what my problem is, I spoke with a servant lady and she said that there may be 2 problems. I think that i'm getting shy, pretty sure that'the reason."
"Wait, you said two problems but you only named one. What is the other possibility?"
"I can't tell you that, the tournament is about to start, let's go."
Steve grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.
"Listen, we were friends, you know I can keep a secret especially for Juri. Now just tell me, I won't tell anybody, promised." Steve said.
"Well oke then, I know I can trust you. The lady said that... I... am... in love." Hwoarang hesitated.
"Wow really, now I understand what you are saying. Don't worry mate, I won't tell a soul."
"Hey wait, I never actually said that I was, it's what that roomservice lady said."
"Uhuh yeah oke, either way, I won't tell anyone your issues." Steve promised.
Then in a split second, Steve felt a hand on his shoulder, it was a guy in black clothes.
"Mr. Fox, come with me." the man asked.
"Well I catch you later and enjoy the show." Steve said and left with the man.
"Hmm, I don't know if I can trust that guy, maybe I should take a quick look." Hwoarang said suspicious when he followed both of them until they were in his dressing room.
Hwoarang listens outside of the room and heard Steve talking to a man in the middel of the room, the guy brought Steve before Gino Mason, an incredible powerfull mafia boss with tons of cash and guards in Steve's room.
"So Steve, I just want to know if you still remembered our deal." Gino asked.
"Yes sir, i'll... lose the final match as promised, but you have to promise that you will tell me all about my family. And I mean everything." Steve said.
"Of course, i'm a man of my word, but if you disobey my orders, you will regret it. I have got a lot of bets with plenty of people that you will lose the finals, and I don't want to lose my precious money."
"Awh damn." Hwoarang said when he ran away to the arena to sit down with Juri.
"Hey where have you been?" Juri asked.
"I was talking with Steve about... something." Hwoarang said.
"Is your so-called problem solved?"
"Uhh, yeah I think so?"
Juri saw it in his eyes that he was lying about it.
"Oke, I hope we get to see the suprise soon, I wonder what it is." Juri said when she looked at the arena board.
The Boxing Club tournament was about to start, two men were stepping into the arena, both of course were boxing practisioners. One guy was lightskin and the other was white. The two fighters attacked each other and the battle begun.
Hwoarang didn't enjoyed the fight that much because he thought that they weren't that though at all, so he puts his hands on his nape and looked above him.
"You don't want to watch this fight?" Juri asked curious.
"Nah, I don't think it's going to be a great fight at all. If I wanted to, I could take both of them on, but I don't want to fight right now. Tell me when this is getting a bit more interesting oke." Hwoarang said.
Juri just continued watching the match. The fight was over and the lightskinned boxer won the bout, he advances to the next round. The second match was about to begin, the lightskinned boxer faced a black boxer. The black boxer won a fight too just like the lightskinned boxer, the one who wins this fight will fight in the finals with Steve Fox.
The lightskinned boxer won that fight to and will fight with Steve, the tournament called out a break and the woman who was normally sitting at a desk approached the arena. Juri saw the woman almost announcing the suprise.
"I'm gonna... get something to eat, keep watching the arena, the surpise is about to start." Juri said when she ran of the tribune.
"Oke then, hey bring me something to eat while you are at it like a hotdog... and some gummybears." Hwoarang said.
"Ladies and gentleman, the exhibition match is about to start. This is our first fighter, she is a very skilled Taekwondo fighter since a young age and has fought in some other tournaments and even won them." the lady said.
"Hahaha, another Taekwondo fighter, this could be fun... Wait a second, did she just say "she"? Doesn't matter though." Hwoarang said confused.
"Here she is, our first fighter, Juri Han!" the lady announced.
"Wait a second, Juri? So this was the suprise she was talking about, who would have thought huh? I wonder which poor sucker will be her opponent, I hope he's got an ambulance ready hehehe." Hwoarang said when he puts his hands on his nape again and closed his eyes.
"Hey, can I announce my opponent myself. I want this to be... special." Juri asked the woman.
"Sure, here you go." the lady said when he gave her the microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it feels so great to be here in the Boxing Club. In this fight, I will announce my opponent myself. This fighter is just like me a Taekwondo practisioner, unfortunally he is not as great and awesome like me. Everybody, my opponent and personal friend, Hwoarang!" Juri said when she focused the spotlight on Hwoarang.
He still got his hands on his nape without even noticing what Juri said.
"Hehehe that poor sucker Hwoarang, he doesn't know what he is getting himself into hahaha. Eh hey wait a second... is that my... oh no she did not just... awh man why me, why does it have to be me!" Hwoarang said when he saw his picture on the scoreboard.
"Come on baby, let's start our match and entertain the crowd." Juri said.
Hwoarang got up from his chair and waved at the crowd, he eventually approached the arena where Juri was waiting for him.
