Filia looked up from her pile of pamphlets and groaned.
"Man! I went to all the shopping places in Seoul! I need to go to some
different place to shop! Dongdaemun and Namdaemun (1) are so boring now!" Filia
got up from her bed and rubbed her forehead.
"Ne, why don't you try Itaewon?" Xelloss popped in his head
through her bedroom door with a goofy smile.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Filia got her pillows and threw them at
Xelloss.
"OWW!" Xel screamed, not in pain, but in surprise. "What was
that for??" Xelloss stared at the blond girl in front of him that was very mad.
"YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME IN MY ROOM FOR ANY
REASONS!!!"
Xelloss leaned backward trying to save his poor ears.
"Chamna (2). You get mad for no reasons do you?"
"WITH YOU AROUND, IT'S HARD TO NOT GET ANGRY!" Filia looked
around the room to throw something at him.
Xelloss just walked up to her. "Look. I just heard you
screaming and yelling about shopping centers.. I have a place. It's not as good
as Myong Dong (3) or something like that, but it's fairly interesting."
Filia's ear perked up. "There is another shopping place in
Seoul?? Where!?"
Xelloss sweatdropped. Dang this girl sure is crazy about
shopping. "Itaewon."
Filia scrunched up her nose. "Where is that?"
Xelloss sighed. "I see you haven't been around Itaewon or
Hannam-Dong (4) huh?"
"Sounds familiar…" Filia mumbled. "How am I suppose to get
there?"
"I know the way. I could drive us." Xelloss offered.
Filia's eye bugged out. "…How about I drive and you just
direct me!"
Xelloss pretended to be offended. "Fine. Do whatever you
want. Just lemme tell Zel that I'm abandoning him right now."
After Xelloss left her room, Filia let out a huge sigh. This
is going to be a long day for me…
~*~*~*~
5 hours later…
Actually it was a long day for Xelloss. Filia particularly
dragged him all across Itaewon, buying this and that. Xelloss stood nearby
waiting patiently, as Filia was bargaining with some old woman about a pair of
shoes. Xelloss looked outside the window. WAIT A SEC?? Xel uttered a
very fast "I'll be back" to Filia and ran outside. He glanced ahead to see if
she was still there. Yes. I see her red hair. Better just follow her.
Xelloss followed Lina all the way to the restaurant she was
working in. He heard her saying good bye to the owner saying that she'll be
back tomorrow. Lina not noticing anything continued on to her small rented
apartment. It was a good 30 minutes walk from the restaurant. Xelloss hid
around the corner and watched Lina going into her house. He soon stepped out
from his little hiding place.
"By god. Looks like I found her. Better tell Zel." Xelloss
ran all the way back to the shoe store he left Filia at. When he got there, it
wasn't pretty.
"WHERE WERE YOU!!!!!! IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A BATHROOM BREAK,
IT SURE WAS LONG!!!" Filia screamed hitting him with all her merchandise.
Xelloss just ducked and ran outside.
"COME BACK HERE!!!!!" with that Filia ran after the poor
guy.
~*~*~*~
Zel sighed. After going home with Xelloss, and him leaving
with Filia to go shopping, he just came back to his apartment and just hung
around. He looked at the paintings and other stuff he did of Lina. Where are
you…it's been 6 months…
Zel heard knocking on his door. Could it be?? He
walked quickly to his door and swung it opened. There he saw the usual goofy
looking face of Xelloss. Zel's face fell. "Oh. It's you."
"Who'd ya expect? Santa Claus?" Xelloss smiled and walked
in. "I'm never taking your sister shopping anywhere, ever again!"
"Was it that bad?"
"Bad? BAD?? It's horrible! I took her out at what? 11? Now
it's 9 pm? She's been shopping for 10 hours!! Man how do you stand her?"
Zel shrugged. "Beats me. I hardly even talk to her."
Xelloss nodded. "You still consider Lina as a sister?"
Zel looked away. "I don't know…"
"Speaking of Lina, I know where she is…"
"WHERE??" Zel grabbed his collars, "Where???"
"Aggg…gag…if you let me go, I'll tell you!"
"Oh…sorry!" Zel let go of him. "Now where is she?"
"Itaewon." Xel rubbed his sore neck. "I'll take you there
tomorrow."
"Ok. See ya tomorrw. Go home. You look bushed." Zel said
gently.
"Yeah…10 hours of shopping. A record for me…" Xelloss left.
Zel closed the door behind him and leaned against it.
"Lina…you were in Itaewon all these times? What were you doing all the way over
there?"
