Reminiscence
Chapter 10 : Playtime's over
We got back from the amusement park carrying the huge stuffed toy by ourselves. I highly doubt any taxi would have taken us back home with that anyways. Tonight was awesome, everything was perfect. Best date I ever had since a long time.
Jin unlocks the door as I put the plushie down, only to pick it up again after he's done with the keys. All of a sudden he grabs me by the waist and kisses me deeply, then picks me up – I dropped the white tiger but heh... – and he carries me in the bedroom. He doesn't even turn on the light. At least he knows where the bed is. We both fall on it and he stays on top of me, still kissing.
"Jin... is that you?"
"WHAT?!" He quickly turns on the nightlight only to reveal...
An half-asleep Xiaoyu.
I feel like banging my head on the bedpost, or anything else that I could use to do so. Wasn't she supposed to come in four days? Three actually ; it's past midnight.
"Thought you weren't supposed to come here before July 2nd? Or whatever other date..."
"Yeah... well my plans changed... we're in holidays before the time and well... thought I'd suprise you!". She opens her eyes a bit. "You got a lover?"
Huh-oh.
"HWOARANG??!!"
I'd scratch the back of my head like I usually do but Jin's pinning me down by the arms. So I stood there with that shy look on my face... "Hehehe... yeah. Jin get off me for a sec, I'm can't feel my hands anymore."
"Gomen." He lets go of me and sits on the edge of the bed. I do the same as I wiggle my fingers around to activate blood circulation. The guy as an iron grip... "And you're right, we're together."
"Thought you hated each other..."
"I never said anything about me hating him." He said as calm as possible. Sometimes I envy him...
"I'm the one who used to hate him. But... things change..." I'd be somewhat tempted to tease her. I'm not going to do it though. Jin would be mad at me for doing that and it surely wouldn't help Xiaoyu... she sure looks disappointed. It's not my fault though... Jin chose me. And I'm quite happy with him. For once I can lead a normal life...
Now the thing I hope is that she won't go crazy, mad, or whatever you want. But it's her style. Like right now. She's about to cry... oh God... what the fuck have I gotten Jin into...
"How-how-how come you didn't tell me!"
"I didn't know how!"
"I thought you were in love with me..." she got up from the bed as fast as lightning and stormed out of the bedroom. Jin followed her. I can hear them yell and fight...
"Well I'm NOT in love with you!"
"WHY?!"
"'Cause you're my best friend, and 'cause I just don't want it to go any further than close friendship."
"But why?!"
"Because I'm NOT in love with you!! I want you as a friend, nothing else!"
I close my eyes and sigh. Never knew she was THAT much into him. Reminds me of that big fight between Reiko and another guy... over me.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hwoarang entered the appartment alone. He had left with another guy earlier and they had fought some. Seems Kyosen didn't like the fact his redheaded lover had such an open relationship with that Reiko guy. He had started the argument – Hwoarang was the kind of guy to reply on impulse and he spat back, saying that it had always been this way with his previous boyfriends. Obviously Kyosen got even more mad. The younger man left the other appartment in a hurry ; the guy had regained consciouness and was pretty strong.
"REIKO!"
Reiko lazily opened his eyes and saw a very exhausted Hwoarang looking around. "S'wrong Hwoa?"
"He's gonna kill me...."
"Who?"
"Kyosen!!"
"Oh yeah? Tell him to come over here. I'm gonna kick his ass."
"No need for that."
"HWOARANG! OPEN THAT DAMNED DOOR!"
Instead of Hwoarang, it was Reiko who opened it. "Look bud, you TRY to hurt him and you're gonna end up in the emergency waiting room. Got it?"
"It's not the end of the world, I'm still your friend..."
"I love you Jin..." Xiaoyu told the to Japanese once again. "I had dreams of being with you... getting married, having kids... a perfect life just like in the movies..."
"It's not a movie, Xiaoyu. Welcome in the real world." He felt kind of guilty for letting her down, although he DID love Hwoarang. He knew what it felt to be rejected. "You gotta understand I'm with Hwoarang now... and it's not gonna change. I love him. More than anything in the world. I still wish to be your friend..."
"I'm sick of playing the best friend!"
"Then find yourself a boyfriend!"
"It's YOU I want. You're perfect for me..."
"Think about it Xiao. If I'd be the perfect guy for you, I'd be with you, right?"
The Chinese teenaged girl looked away. Jin was right. He'd be with her, not with Hwoarang. "Hai... you're right..."
"See?" Jin paused. "I'm gonna take a look at Hwoarang. I'll be right back."
She hung her head down and sat on the couch. [ It's not over yet. I still have a chance.]
"I want to talk to him, motherfucker. So let me through."
Reiko pushed Kyosen back from the doorway. "Seems you have a hard time understanding. NO!"
The other guy rushed by Reiko and hit him in the chest and he fell down. "Come here Hwoarang. I won't hurt you." He was grinning.
"Yeah whatever!"
Kyosen came closer to Hwoarang. "You shouldn't be with him. Could offer you much more than a part time love life..."
"Well I DON'T WANT TO, got that?!"
"I won't take no for an answer, and you know that." His hands crept on the teen's body.
Hwoarang backed off from the taller man and got in his Taekwondo stance. Reiko stood up, moved behind Kyosen and punched him right after. The other man fell down to his knees. He wasn't much hurt, although enough to retreat.
"I'll get you out of there Hwoarang. Don't worry" he said as he limped his way out of the appartement. "You'll be happy."
"You alright Hwoarang?" Reiko asked the teenager as he hugged him.
"I've been better..."
"Did he hurt you?"
"Nope..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah yeah."
"OK. You want me to get the bath ready?"
"Please?"
"Alright. Warm water."
"Thanks..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* END OF FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hwoarang? You awake?"
"Yeah... not very hard to be awake with those screams... think the whole building must be awake by now. No but, fighting like that at 1 am..."
"Sorry for her. She's just sad 'cause I'm with you."
"That's what I understood..."
"Just don't feel guilty. It's not your fault." How are you supposed to feel good when someone else wants to be with your lover so bad? "Without me you'd be with her, she wouldn't be mad at you or mad at me. Maybe I better go sleeping somewhere else -"
"You're staying here. You're my lover. She has to understand that I'm not in love with her. Beside she's not mad... she's just sad. She's gonna be OK after a few days, I bet."
I sighed. "It's all my fault."
"Stop blaming yourself! It's not your fault at all..."
"If I'd haven't gone to that bar, you wouldn't have followed me -"
"And I would miss something extremely important. You."
"You... you really mean it?"
He walks toward me and pull me into a deep kiss. "Of course I do. I love you, Hwoarang."
