The sun was
setting when the black Alexus came back to the hotel. There we could see three
cheerful people laughing like 3 children. Seems like there weren't any worries
or problems for them. However that isn't true. Someone was waiting for them
when they got back to the hotel.
"Zel oppa (1)!
There you are!" Filia exclaimed.
Zel looked up
and saw his biological sister over there. "Hey Fil. What's up?"
"I've been
looking all over the place for you! I couldn't contact you through your cell
phone! Why did you turn it off?" Filia asked with a scowl.
Zel gave her a
look. "You could at least wait till I introduce couple of people before you go
rambling on you know?"
Filia then
noticed two people behind Zel. "Oh excuse me. Do I know you two?"
Xelloss stepped
up and bowed all the way to his waist. "Ah Filia. Long time no see. I see you
became more lovelier than before." Xelloss smiled at her.
She squinted.
"You do look familiar…wait a sec…XELLOSS??? Namagomi???"
Xelloss sweat
dropped. "I thought you stopped calling me that ages ago."
Filia tossed her
blond hair. "It's your nickname till the day you die Xelloss!"
Lina tapped Zel
on the shoulder and whispered, "Did they use to go out or something?"
Steam came out
of Filia's ears when she heard that. She stalked over to Lina. "Who you
accusing of him and me going out??"
Lina sweat
dropped. "Eh Filia…chill girl. It's me Lina."
"Wait? Lina as
in THE Lina who I switched with before?" Filia calmed down a bit.
Lina nodded.
"I see…" Filia
trailed off. She gave Zel a questioning look. Zel just shook his head and
motioned her to be quiet.
"Zel, my soon to
be sister in law is waiting for you. Come. Amelia wants to see you." Filia
glanced at Lina when she said that. Filia got the reaction she wanted, Lina's
back stiffened and just turned and looked away.
Zel and Xelloss
noticed but didn't say anything.
Lina looked at
them and smiled, literally forcing herself. "Zel, Xel, thanks for coming today.
I had a blast. I better go home now."
Zel reached out
and grabbed her arm. "Wait. Let me at least give you a ride. You got to carry
all those plates and stuff back you know."
Lina smiled. "No
thanks. That's where the taxis come in. Beside you don't want to keep Amelia
waiting."
"I insist."
"It…"
"Come or I will
never buy you a single boxes of pepperoes ever again!"
Lina pouted.
"That's blackmail!"
"Too bad. Now
come back in the car."
Lina sighed in
defeat and went to the car. "Bye Xelloss. Good to see you again Filia."
Zel looked at
his sister and smiled. "Tell Amelia that I'll be there soon ok? And Xel, do
take care." With that Zel got in the car and started the car.
Xelloss and
Filia stood there watching the car drive away. Xelloss looked at Filia and
grinned at her. "So Filia, glad to come back to Seoul?"
Filia looked at
him like he just said that he was a friend of the carebears. "I guess…the
states better…wait…why are you being nice?" she demanded.
"Can't I be nice
once in a while?"
"Maybe you
became more mature. But I doubt it. Now excuse me, but I have to go to Amelia
now."
"Ok. Whatever.
Have fun with the mayor's daughter." Xelloss sneered out the last two words.
"How dare you
talk of someone good like that?" Filia eyes lashed out.
"I know her and
she isn't very wonderful."
"Well with you,
who can stay nice at you!" Filia spatted.
"Whatever. I'm
so hurt. Go be nice-nice to the mayor's daughter and you can marry her!" With
that Xelloss started for his room.
Filia was just
standing there with her mouth wide opened. "That…that ASS! How dare he talk to
me that way!!" Filia stormed to her car and decided to head to the hospital.
Also she wanted to just forget that Namagomi.

The ride to
Lina's house was very silent. It was already dark out by the time they got to
her house. Zel stopped the car and sighed.
"I'm sorry for
not telling you before."
Lina managed a
strained smile. "It's ok Zel. I don't expect you to tell me everything."
"No it's not ok.
I just didn't tell because it never came to my mind when I was with you." Actually
I just didn't want to tell you at all…why? I have no idea.
"Oppa. It's ok!
I understand!" Lina looked at, being more of herself again. "Well since I let
you drive me home, One box of pepperoes?" Lina grinned.
Zel just looked
her. "You are just amazing. How about 2?" Zel held out his hand. "Deal?"
Lina took it,
her smaller ones enclosing in Zel's larger one. "Deal!"
Zel opened up a
secret compartment in his car and took out 2 boxes of pepperoes. He then handed
it to her. "Here you go. I bought them this morning."
Lina's face
light up. "Thanks!!!" She gave him a hug, and got out of the car. She got all
the dishes, forks, spoons, and etc out and put them on the ground outside her
door. "Thanks again oppa!"
Zel got of the
car himself and walked around to where she was. "It was my pleasure Lina." He
reached up and touched her cheeks. Lina gasped in surprise. "Call me anytime
you want ok?"
"Um…ok oppa."
Zel backed away and started to walk back to the car. "Oh and Zel?" Zel turned
around. "Hmmm?"
"Congrats on the
engagement!"
Zel gave her a
look that was unreadable. "Don't bother. I don't love Amelia." He got into his
car and left.
Lina stared
after the car, clutching the boxes of pepperoes to her chest. He doesn't
love her? Ok…but why did he touch my face?
Lina got the
stuff and went in the house.
