In this chapter : Chapter title tells it all ^_^;;.

A/N : WOW! I actually wrote something during the week! Let's say snowstorms help XD. Alright, I know dialogues in the flashback could be in Korean... since I don't know any Korean words other than "kwah eel" (sp? O_o;;;. Means "fruit" ^_^;;) I wrote the thing in English ^_^;;;; Next time I'm gonna go with an happier situation, seems I'm stuck in drama stuff >_>.

Reminiscence
Chapter 4 : That time when I was stuck home alone...


Shit, now I'm widely awake. I simply love waking up during the night. I don't know if I'll be able to go back to sleep at 4AM... though I don't want to wake Jin up – if he was actually there... "Jin?". I get up from the bed and drag my body to the doorway. "Jin...?". No answer.

"Jin, fuck where are you?!" Not in the living room either. I hope he didn't leave me here alone...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Good night darling."

"Good night Mom!"

The Korean woman kissed her little boy on the forehead before turning the nightlight on. The kid tugged on his comforter and hugged the big teddy bear he had receieved on his fourth birthday. He fell alseep quite fast.

A few hours later he woke up. He tried shifting position, counting the sheeps, thinking about things he liked, and still he couldn't fall asleep anymore. "Need water" he said out loud, grabbing the teddy bear by one of it's furry paw and dragged it accross his pale blue room. Hwoarang pushed the door open, revealing a dark hallway. "Teddy, you ready? Okay." He walked up to his parents' room and turned the doorknob. He peeked inthe opening. "Mommy? Daddy?". The child shrugged. "Moooommy." He waited a moment, then walked back into the hallway. "Maybe there's still watching TV."

The living room was dark too. The TV was turned on ; Mom should be there. Or maybe Dad, since he was the one who watched it the most. "Daddy?" He'd have to try the kitchen. Nobody as well.

[ Bathroom ]. He quickly got to the bathroom. No one.

Hwoarang was starting to feel less safe. Usually, if Mom and Dad left the house, they'd call that girl... what was her name? Oh ya, Hyang-sen. So they had to be home... but where? He looked everywhere and still couldn't find them. The redheaded kid backtracked all the way to his parents' room and sat on the bed, waiting for them to come back in their room.

At least the house was familiar to him.

He didn't know how much time had passed, though it seemed like it had been whole day without any light. "How come Mommy and Daddy aren't here yet" he said to his teddy bear. "Maybe we should go look outside for them. Maybe they decided to do like the dog and sleep outside. I hope they didn't eat his food, poor doggy." He got off the bed and gave a look to the stuffed animal. "You stay here, Teddy. In case I don't come back, I'll give you my toy racecar."

The child went down the stairs without much trouble, even though it was quite dark, and quietly made his way to the back door of the small house. He opened it and peeked his head outside ; the dog was asleep outside it's den. "Tao..... Tao!". The dog rose it's head in the voice's direction and got up on his four legs, shaking it's tail. "You seen Mommy and Daddy?". Of course, Hwoarang got no answer, though he imagined it didn't see them. "Bye bye doggy!" he said as he petted the dog.

There was still nobody when he came back in the house. He looked at the clock, trying to read the time. He mentally concluded that it was "65:39" and headed to his parents' room to pick up the stuffed animal, then came back to the living room. "I wonder if there's cartoons at 65am. Maybe Dragon Ball is on!". He found the cartoon network and watched random shows even though he was somewhat tired. He fell asleep, remote in hand.

When he woke up, he found himself to be on the couch. It was daylight and the dog was barking. "Oh boy, gotta feed Tao!" Hwoarang stopped in his tracks. "Mommy! The dog is hungry! And so am I!"

Nobody answered. Again.

Was he going to end up like that little boy in the cartoon? He surely didn't want to be really alone... well maybe the neighbors knew where Mommy and Daddy were! He ran to the front door and exited the house, then knocked a few times on next door's house. A young Korean woman opened it. "Hey, hello you. You live next door, right?"

Hwoarang nodded shyly.

"You need something dear?"

"Huh.... have you seen Mommy and Daddy? I can't find them in the house, I woke up last night and they weren't there... they weren't back at 65am."

The lady turned told him to come inside and to wait in the kitchen, then she went to talk to the young man, her husband. Hwoarang couldn't understand much about the conversation... his father was beginning to teach him English.

"I knew they left him all alone again. What if something happened to that boy.... huh?"

"Look honey, we can't –"

"Oh yes we can. I'm calling the cops the minute I see their car. Such irresponsible behaviour!"

When she got back in the kitchen, she asked Hworanang if he was hungry and served him breakfast. The child emptied his plate and asked for a bit of orange juice. "There you go! You liked?"

"Yeah! I wish Mommy would cook this well."

"Need –"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* END OF FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" – something?"

"AAH! For fuck's sake, Jin... don't startle me like that!" I really hope his appart is insonorated. Else he's gonna get killed because of my screams.

"Sorry Hwoa."

"Where in Hell were you?"

"Bathroom."
"Ah. It's been hours..."

He's chuckling. "Hours? No... about ten minutes. Why are you up so early?"

"I woke up when you left, or very soon after. Couldn't get back to sleep so I got up and checked around. Didn't see you anywhere and I finally slumped on the chair."

"You seemed almost sca-"

"No I wasn't."

"Not even on seventh floor?"

"KAZAMA!!! MFFFMFMF!" Heh, he kissed me to make me shut up. "Sorry for screaming" I say as I ran my right hand in my hair. I must be about the same color as it, actually.

"About we go back to bed?"

"Nah, I'm not tired anymore. I'm hungry though." I strech a bit then move over to the fridge to see what's inside. Eggs, milk, all that kinda stuff. "Think I'll make myself some French toast. Got brown sugar?"

"Might as well stay up too. Hey, make some for me hehehe. Let me get dressed and I'll be right back."

[I'm a bad cook though. Maybe you should've done them, Jin. Hope you're not gonna be sick!]. Nice he's already coming back.

"Brought ya something. Not that I don't like the fact you're half naked, I just don't want you to freeze in here." When I'm done putting the – large – T-shirt, seems like I'm floating in it, he wraps his arms around my waist. "Want me to cook?"

"If you don't wanna get poisoned by my extremely bad cooking, I suggest you to go ahead."

"Alright. Just move over there" he says as he kisses me on the cheek. "I'll be done in a sec."

Guess I'll get used to being pampered by him actually.

That's if I have breakfast someday.... so fucking hungry... "JIN! FASTER!"

"Yeah, give me some time Hwoa-kun..."

A/N 2 : I tried converting the thing to HTML with MS Word, it's even worse o_o;; (didn't even center my title although it WAS centered). So I went back to Notepad. Anyways, thanks for reading! ^__^ Hope you enjoyed this chappie, don't forget to review ^___^.
