"…And well, I'm sorry, I knew I was too upfront, and well, I'm sorry." Ling said. Jin sighed. It was Monday afternoon and he was at home with a bandage on his side. He had broken a few ribs in his fight. Ling had her arm on his shoulder and she was looking intently at Jin. "It's ok Ling, I'm sorry too, I should've stayed, I had to be ignorant and leave," he said. She smiled and laughed softly. "Well Jin, I'll leave you now," she said getting up. He grabbed her hand. "Stay with me," he said. The door burst open and Julia walked in. She stopped uneasily and looked at Jin and Ling. "Uhhh, am I interrupting?" she asked. "No, I was just leaving," Ling said. She leaned over to Jin and kissed him on the lips softly. "See you," she said. "Bye Julia," she said. "Bye Ling," Julia said. Ling left. Julia smiled at Jin. "Hey Jin," she said. He sighed. "Hey Julie," he said. She sat down next to him. "I'm sorry, I only heard about this today," she said. "You didn't visit anyway," he said coldly. "Well, I was uh, busy." She said. "With who? Hwoarang?" he asked. She looked at him. "Jin I-" " No Julie, its ok, you needed to help Hwoarang right? What was it mentally or physically?" he asked. "Jin I-" "Julie you don't even know if he's using you, what are you? His whore or something?" That snapped her and she slapped him. She stood up angrily. "Listen to me and listen well, I am not anyone's whore ok? I like him for who he is and that's something you can never provide for me! All of a sudden you think you're mister macho and you think you're better than him, but guess what, you're wrong!" she said. Jin stood up but he fell back down. "Julie!" he cried. She didn't look back. She stormed out of the house and slammed the door. Jin slumped against the bed head and sighed.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Julia stormed angrily to her car and got in. She started the ignition and she sped home crying. "Why..." she said to herself. She pulled up in her driveway and saw Hwoarang's bike parked outside. She smiled despite her tears and she quickly wiped them away. She got out and went to the back. She saw Hwoarang practicing his moves in the back yard. She smiled. He stopped when he saw her. He came over to her and looked at her. He frowned. "Have you been crying?" he asked. "Crying? Of course not..." she said looking away. "How's the training?" she asked. He folded his arms. "Stop lying Julie, it's ok to tell me you know." he said. She looked at him and sighed. "Can we sit?" she asked. He smiled. "Of course we can." he said. They went inside.
*~*~*~*~*~*
A few days later...
The bell rang and so another day ended at school. Everyone left the classroom and went their ways. Julia collected her books and went to her locker. When she opened it she found a note inside. It was from Hwoarang. She smiled.
Dear Julie,
I'll see you later. I had to go see someone today. One of my old friends from my childhood found me. I'll visit you and bring you your favorite. Chocolate ice cream. See ya! Love Hwoarang.
She chuckled and stuffed it in her bag. The day was going fine. Jin turned the corner. He saw Julia at her locker and immediately felt ashamed. She hadn't talked to him for the whole week. She closed her locker and turned around. She saw Jin. They stood awkwardly in front each other for a while until Jin sighed. "Julie, I'm-" "Save it Jin." she said coldly. "Listen! If you would just listen to me! Hear me out. Please." he said. She sighed. "What is it?" she asked. "Um, I just want to say that I'm sorry for what I said the last time we spoke...and well...will you forgive me?" he asked. She sighed and nodded. "We can go to the store now, I'll take you for your favorite, Chocolate Ice cream." "No thanks Jin, I think I'll pass." she said. "I thought everything was fine between us." he said. "Well, I forgave you. But I never agreed to go anywhere with you Jin, I have some things to do, so, have fun." she said. "But, we always used to go out on Fridays Julie," "Remember what you just said Jin, used to. I have a boyfriend now, so, I'm taking a break." she said. He looked at her. "What from out friendship? Just because you've started dating you're leaving me alone?" he asked. "I'm not leaving you alone, I'm just...giving you some time, for you to...find someone special." she said. "But I already found someone special Julie." "Well, I'm happy for you. Tell me who she is on Monday. Bye." she said. She walked away. "I had found someone Julie...I had found you."
*~*~*~*~*~*
Hwoarang strolled down the street casually with Julia. Their arms were linked and they were full of ice cream. "Will there be another tournament anytime soon?" she asked. He shrugged. "I don't know, I haven't heard anything, but I'll be sure to tell you if anything comes up." He said. She nodded. They continued to walk in silence. The cool air brushed gently against them and blew through their hair. Julia sighed and looked around. "Hey Julia, are you ok?" he asked. She smiled and nodded. He nodded. "So um, are you gonna finish your book or am I in the way?" he asked. She laughed. "Of course not, actually, you've given me some more inspiration to write new stuff." She said. "Really? What are you gonna write about? The red haired creep?" "Of course not! You are not a red haired freak. Got that?" He laughed. "Yes master." He joked. "Ok, you're lucky you got away this time," she said. He looked at her and they cracked up. "Well, I had fun today Hwoarang." She said. He nodded. "You better have." He said. They continued walking oblivious of the woman walking slowly behind them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jin lay on his bed looking at the ceiling. He closed his eyes and he heard the annoying sound of Ling singing. She was making tea for him in the kitchen, but it was the singing! He couldn't stand it! Oh…Julie can sing so much bett- there he went again! Julia, Julia, Julia. He couldn't stop thinking of her no matter what. He pounded his fist on the bed and sighed. Ling came in the room and sat next to him. "Jin, are you ok?" she asked. He nodded. "I'm fine, thanks," he said. She lay down and rest her head on his stomach. He sighed but didn't say anything. She felt his hand on her back and she shivered. They lay in silence…
