A/N : Remind me not to mix hunger and writing ^_^;;;.
Reminiscence
Chapter 5 : Of broken mirrors and expiration dates...
After our breakfast, came the time we all love.
Boredom. Total boredom.
I'm sarcastic.
Jin doesn't have any games, any decent music, though I could easily get both if he lets me on his computer.
Or maybe we can just watch TV. "Say, how many channels you got?"
"'Bout a hundred. Satellite." He mentions as he lifted his eyes from his book. "Here's the remote."
"Any porn channels?" Alright, maybe I should've shut up... it's not his style. And I doubt he'd watch that.
"Yeah. I don't watch them often go, tend to rerun them over and over."
"Typical." Hold on, something's not right there... Jin Kazama, watching porn movies? And I thought he was some mama's boy... "So what do we do now?"
He shrugs, then closes the book. "I don't know really."
Back to the starting point. God... are we gonna stay there all day long or what? I want to get out, do some sport, fight, anything! "Jiiiiiiiin..."
"What?"
"Anything fun around here? Any place were we could, I don't know, hang out or do something constructive, even if it meant grocery shopping..."
"I could use some food."
Once again I should've shut up. Now I'm gonna end up in some grocery store, waiting in file for something we probably won't even eat. Let's say we don't have the same taste for foods. I eat almost anything I can find. I'd like some pizza for dinner, though I don't think will go for that. As I saw what's in the fridge... seafood, tofu, fish and the stuff Jin used to take for breakfast. "DIVERSE food. Ever heard of hamburgers?"
"Of course I did heard of that Hwoa. It's just that there's some healthier food."
Have to agree on that. "True. Then let's go!"
I'm almost out of the living room as he stops me.
"What?"
"If I were you, I'd put pants also. And shoes."
Whoooo I must be in love to forget that kind of things. "Hehehehe.... ya. Got any clean pants? Mine are kinda.. not clean."
"Just wait a sec.... I'm gonna get you a belt at the same time. How can you be so light with everything you eat?" he says as he comes back with a pair of black pants. It would fit on me even if I had a siamese twin...
"I don't sit all the time reading books."
"I work out also."
"I know, you're quite muscular." I smile widely and wink at him.
"Come on if you want something for lunch hehe." Jin takes me by the arm and we get out of the building.
Mmmm lunch. Been a long time I haven't actually eaten home made Chinese food...
Nice car Jin has by the way.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hwoarang got out of his bedroom and headed toward the bathroom. A good smell floated in the air ; Baek was obvisouly cooking. He tried to guess what his father was baking. Rice? Egg rolls? The redhead let his nose get him to the kitchen, where he sat on a chair, looking at Baek's every move.
"Our dinner?"
"Yep. Smells good eh?"
The teenager nodded. Every month it was the same thing. The man would cook enough for a whole week, week during he wouldn't have to wash a lot of dishes. "Wanna taste the spare ribs?"
"Sure! Mmmmm.... best in the world!"
"As usual."
"Melts in your mouth. What about the rice?"
"Here." The man handed the chopsticks to the youth. "Tell me if there's not enough soy sauce."
"Mmmnnnaaa permmfect."
"Okay."
"I prefer your meals over anybody esle's."
"Gotta say I'm a good cook, eh?"
Hwoarang laughed. "Of course you are. Yah! Egg roll!"
"Don't eat everything, or there won't be any left, son."
"Baaaaah, with everything you baked, if I stole an egg roll or two... and chow mein as well."
"Hwoarang.... if you keep eating you won't be hungry anymore."
"Aww alright alright..."
"I'm gonna let the rest cook some more." Baek sat accross the redhead teenager. "So, what's going on in your life?"
[Oh God... how the hell am I gonna tell him?] "Huh... well... I... ah... oh... dah..."
"That Korean? Japanese? Russian?"
"Heh.... I...."
"Go ahead, I'm listening, Hwoarang."
"Just don't go mad ok?"
"I'll try not to -"
"Dad!"
"Alright I won't. Promise."
"I'm in love."
"That's great son! And when will I meet the lucky girl?"
"Well that's kinda the problem. See... there's no girl." Hwoarang blushed.
The man raised an eyebrow. "No girl? You just told me that..."
"It's a guy."
"Hehe... as long as you're happy. So I'm gonna change my sentence : when will I meet the lucky guy?"
"So you don't mind."
"Why would I?"
"Huh......"
"Hey, I got an idea. Call him for dinner if you want and ask him if he's allergic to seafood. Maybe he could eat with us!"
"Okay. Be right back!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* END OF FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
See what I can think about when I hear "Chinese food"? "Jin, where's the freaking market?"
"Don't worry, we're getting real close to – MOTHERFUCKER!"
"What? What the hell's happening?!"
"The idiot over there... crushed my right outside mirror."
I hardly ever hear Jin swearing. Although it's not funny – though money shouldn't be much of a problem for him – I can't help but laugh. I stop very soon after. "Hey hey hey hey the market!!"
Jin turns quite fast and parks the Mitsubishi in the first vacant lot he sees. "Remember, we're parked a mile before the left entrance."
A mile my ass. Seems like it's endless...
"How about we get you some clothes at the same time?"
"Look, I still have my appartment. Everything's there."
"We could drop by, pick the stuff you want and go back at mine."
"Yeah... I'm starting to think my own place's a rat cellar. I wouldn't be suprised if one of my ex-boyfriends showed up there. Especially Hie. Drugged, drunk and horny."
"Wow. The very nice people you were with." He's so sarcastic.
"I didn't know until 3 months ago that he was a drug addict."
"You mean you didn't notice everything?"
"He snorts."
"Ah."
"Anyways... can we skip my "ancient" love life for now and focus on food?"
"Okay. Spot anything good?" he asks me as I walk down the vegetable aisle.
"These peppers seem good enough. You?"
"Onions, cabbage, check for rice noodles."
I grab the first noodle pack and put it in the carrier, amongst the peppers and other random veggies. "Mmmm.... chicken."
"Would be good in a soup, ne?"
"Yeah. Why don't we get some then?"
"Done. Anything else?"
"I crave for chocolate...."
"There's some in the candy aisle. Let's go there."
I follow him around ; don't want to get lost. The malls I usually go are much smaller than that... if you can even call that a mall. Cornershop. Passing in the candy aisle, I spot the chocolate and stack four or five bars of them, mixed with different candies. "Question!"
"Yeah Hwoa?"
"I hope you got the cash..."
"I'm rich, remember?" he said in a laugh.
"Riiiiiiiight. Better get to the cash register before everyone lines up up."
So we both moved to the front of the store, and has we were quite hungry, we dediced not to drop by my place now and wait till tomorrow. Ten minutes later, we're out of the market and on our way to the car, carrying two bags each. Nothing very interesting happened on our way back home. I think I saw a dog.
Once inside the building, we took the elevator – again, please may it be the last one... - and deposed the bags in front of the door as Jin unlocked it.
"Let's unpack that stuff babe."
When is he gonna learn that I'm not a girl? "Where does that go?"
"Frigde."
"Huh.... dated "best before May 27th". We're June 24th." I show the cabbage to him.
"How about we.. forget the Chinese food for today?"
"Agreed."
