In this chapter : The guys get to Hwoarang's appartment...
A/N : Sorry for the delay, one of my fic has been removed by FF.net (for reasons that I really don't get o_o;;) and I couldn't upload anything x_x. But that's another story, litterally ^_^;;. Anyways, here's another chapter, this time the formating seems to be OK. I'll spell check my previous ones once more (there's some mistakes hehe ^_^;;) and re-upload them so it fits the original formating I had in mind.
Reminiscence
Chapter 8 : Curiousity doesn't always kill the cat
"Here, take my jacket."
"Nah, I'm gonna be OK... don't worry about me."
"Maybe I should worry more."
"While we're outside... why not go to my place so I could pick up some stuff?".
"Alright. But take my jacket."
Better grab it or he's gonna lecture me on why I should've put something more... warm... because of the weather. In the car I stayed pretty quiet all the way, looking through the window.
"Where is it, Hwoarang?"
"Huh what? Oh.... turn left from here, then go straight until you reach the intersection, then turn left again. Number 1756."
"OK."
I got quiet again. For some reason, I don't know if I want to go back there. Not alone actually. I would't mind if I was sure to only fall on Reiko... but we were 4 to live in there. Reiko, Hie, Ran and me.
"Hwoarang, we're here."
"Come with me."
He shrugs and opens his door to follow me inside.
"I'm on the first story. Right there." I say as I point to the appartement number 18. I was going to knock but I'm at my own appartement... which is a total mess. As usual. "Heh... don't look at the tidyness... or lack of."
"Hwoarang! Where the fuck where you? Been searching over the town for you for 2 days..." Typically Reiko. He's ready to kiss me when he spots Jin. "Oh... you two are together?"
"Yeah."
"Ok. So where were you?"
I walk up to the kitchen counter. "Jin's house."
"I take it sa he's Jin hehe."
"Right, I'm Jin. And don't worry, he's not hurt."
"I've been taken care off very well hehe."
Reiko sighed in relief, then spoke to Jin. "You're a Mishima, ne?"
"On my father's side, yes."
"Reiko, where's my pills?"
"In the cupboard."
"Can't find!"
"Hold on, Jin. Try in the bathroom, Hwoa."
"I'm curious... how did you two meet? According to what he said to me, he was pretty young..."
"FOUND THEM!" I get back in the kitchen. "How we met? Well, let's say I was curious too."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'M GONNA TAKE A WALK! I'LL BE BACK SOON!" Hwoarang yelled in the hallway of Baek's house. He had taken his discman with him, put the headphones over his ears then walked down the street. He was dressed in black pants and green sweater, his red hair falling on his shoulder. He sang the current song out loud, before he stopped walking. An hour had past since he left home. "Damn.. how did I wind up here?" He searched for a place where he could call Baek and tell him he'd be late and spotted a bar. "Let's hope they don't check IDs.."
The 16-year-old entered the bar, almost waiting for a doormen to refuse him the access. Not even. He his his discman in his pocket, hoping it won't get stolen away from him then sat at the counter. His second thought was about the people present. Mostly young men, around 20-30 years old. [ Out of all the places, I had to fall in a gay bar.] Hard metal wasplaying in the background. A band. Didn't sound like a record.
He moved to the a table up front, near the stage, and found himself staring at the singer. He was rather tall with long black hair, piercings on his eyebrows and nose.
"Want a drink?"
Hwoarang turned around. Another man stood behind him, black spiked hair, a tribal tattoo on his left arm. "No thanks... I got here kinda by mistake, wanted to make a phone call to my father and ended up watching the show. I gotta be back home soon, else he's gonna wonder where I am."
"Never seen you around..."
"I'm only sixteen hehe. First time in a bar."
"I see. You sure you don't want a drink?"
"Yeah, sure, thanks." The redhead couldn't help but smile as the older guy sat beside him. "How old are you by the way?"
"Twenty-one. And I didn't get your name..."
"Hwoarang. I live near the dojo."
"Baek Doo San's dojo?"
"Yeah."
"Nice. I used to take Taekwondo lessons too, not at that place. You good?"
"Huh, I think so..... last year I got to the 15-17 years old international competitions in Montreal, Canada. Won gold medal."
"Well that's what I call good hehe."
"Thanks."
"No prob."
"And you, what's your name?"
"Reiko. I live a few blocks away with a bunch of my friends. We're in a band too and we usually play here."
"So why aren't you playing right now?"
"They're opening for us" he said with a wink. "Our show's starting in about 20 minutes. If you can stay, maybe I could get you back home. My motorcycle's parked outside."
"If you do, could you drop me like a street or two before my house? Not sure what's Baek gonna say if he sees me with a stranger."
"Alright. Look... you're not obligated to answer "yes" to my next question. You'd be up for a date, some other time?"
Hwoarang smiled shily and rubbed the back of his head. "No one ever asked me for a date, and surely not a guy... but what do I have to lose? So yeah, it's a date."
"If you're not into that I can't... I mean you're 16, still a child at law so... understand?"
"Don't worry hehe. I'm not a decoy or whatsoever, and I'm not gonna tell on you unless you hurt me."
Reiko laughed before getting up of his chair. "How about next week? Friday? You must be in school and..."
"Nah I'm not. Home schooled 3 times a week during the day. But next Friday fits me."
"Alright. I gotta go now, band coming. I'll see ya Friday then." He stopped as he was going backstage. "Huh... think it's too much if ask for a kiss? And it's like I said earlier, if you don't want to..."
"Never said I didn't want to hehehe... thing is I never kissed anyone before."
"You got plenty of time to learn." Reiko moved toward Hwoarang and put his lips over the younger man's ones. The red head didn't back off and Reiko took it as a good sign. "So?"
He blushed. "I'd lie if I'd say I didn't like."
"OK. Well I really gotta go. I'll catch up with ya after."
[Aaaahh what the fuck am I gonna say to Baek? That I entered a gay bar and met a guy there, and that after 15 minutes I was kissing him? I'm gonna get killed for sure...].
After the show, the band got off stage. Reiko got to the table where Hwoarang still was, looking rather half-alseep even though the music was loud. "I'm dropping you at your house, or you might not get there hehe."
"Heh... I still prefer you'd drop me a street before. Or some houses. God, I wonder what he's gonna say... it's past 2 AM, I said I was gone for a short time."
"Then let's go, I'll drop you where you want."
Hwoarang followed Reiko to the parking lot, where the Harley was parked. "Whoa cool! Is it yours?"
"Yeah. Birthday present. Nice eh?"
The redhead nodded in approval, before Reiko invited him on the bike. "Wanna drive?"
"You gotta be kidding me."
"Nope. Go ahead" he said with a smile. "Come on."
Hwoarang got on first. The other man sat behind him and stretched his arms so he could reach the handles, to show the teenager how to drive. Warms hands wrapped up smaller ones. "So you turn that to..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* END OF FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Seems a bit.. cliché right?"
"Hehe slightly."
"Love at first sight I guess".
"Well, I'll go grab some clothes and stuff."
"You moving?" Reiko asked me.
"Yeah.... but you can keep the appartment. I'll drop by from time to time to make sure everything's ok."
"No prob. Any numbre I could join you in case... you know... 'cause it's gonna be freaking empty without you and such..."
"Huh Jin? You got your phone number?"
"Hehehe yep. 555-6548".
"Thanks."
I don't have any idea why, but I find it hard to leave this place. Maybe I'm too attached to him. After 3 years on and off, a lot of people would to I guess. Even if we weren't with each other we were living in the same place. Something tells me to go with Jin though.
Love I think.
