-Part 1-
Everytime Jann-Lee had a match, Lei Fang was there to watch. Everytime afterwards they'd go out for a walk around the city. For the most part they didn't talk much, but it was always a comfortable silence that took conversation's place. Jann-Lee and Lei Fang enjoyed each other's company. They set aside their usual lives and took the time to go out together. After all, Lei Fang's college was out for the summer and Jann-Lee was put on vacation as well.
"Hmm, do you always go this way when ever you go for walks Jann-Lee?" Lei Fang asked while the two of them were going on their usual path.
"I never used to take walks."
"Figures..." Lei Fang sighed at Jann-Lee's bluntness. "... Hey, why don't I show you something?"
"What?"
"Something really nice."
Lei Fang and Jann-Lee went to the local park and stood next to were the lake was.
"What are we doing here?" Jann-lee asked.
"Nothing, I just thought it would be nice to sit by the lake for a while."
"Oh."
Time passed and the two watched people walk by. Jann-Lee even saw Ken talking a walk there as well and greeted him. It was almost six and it was just Jann-Lee and Lei Fang left.
"Wasn't it nice here Jann-Lee?"
"I guess."
"I'd go up in the mountains to train. There's a lake there kinda like this, only much more larger and beautiful. The air up there is so crisp and perfect. The sky would always be a perfect blue. It was also so quiet there, nothing but the sounds of nature. Here in the city, it's crowded and loud. I love the people and places but I need time to cool off. The mountains are a perfect place to calm down, but lately I've been so busy with school and everything. This lake is the closest thing I get."
"You like nature?"
"I guess you can say so, but I probably don't appreciate it as much as I should."
"I... I used to go up into the mountains and train there too. But to tell the truth I never took the time to see how beautiful it is."
"Is that so...?"
"Yes. It's weird that there would be a lake in the city. I wouldn't call it beautiful."
"Well I know it's not beautiful or anything but..."
"...Right now though... I see a lot of beauty. More than just beauty, I see radiance."
"Wait, weren't you just saying you wouldn't call the lake beautiful."
Jann-Lee turned and looked straight into Lei Fang's eyes.
"I'm not talking about the lake, I'm talking about you."
"Wha... what?" Lei Fang's heart started beating fast and hard.
Jann-Lee didn't answer, he merely gazed at her face for a long time.
"It's getting late, I should take you home now."
Lei Fang sighed as Jann-Lee got up and started walking. *I loved it while it lasted.* She thought following after him.
-Part 2-
The next day Jann-Lee went to his boss' office to see what's going on, upon arrival he was met by Ken.
"Yo, Jann-Lee! Haven't seen you for a while." Ken said cheerfully.
"I've been busy." Jann-Lee answered with his customary bluntness.
"Fighting tournaments?"
"Of course."
"No, I don't think that's it."
"What are you trying to say."
"I think... YOU'VE BEEN BUSY WITH THAT WOMAN!"
"WHAT!!? I would never!"
"Oh no, I don't mean that way. I'm just saying you've been with that Lei Fang chick a lot lately."
"..."
"You know, you look like you've been changing a little. I see less of you fighting these days. In fact, everytime I see you, you're with that girl."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. I guess you're setting your love for fighting aside for a while huh? Now that you have your girlfriend I mean."
"My girlfriend..."
