In this chapter : Xiaoyu leaves the house after an argument with Jin... and what about Hwoarang?
A/N : Okies, I'm pretty bad with drug effects. So... don't really mind them ^_^;;. Next chappie will be a bit "unexpected"... NAH I'M NOT TELLING! XD.
Reminiscence
Chapter 12 : What to expect from a 16-year-old girl in love...
And here they are again.
Arguing.
I can't believe it... before I came in the picture, they were friends. Now they're arguing all the time. Maybe it's not entirely my fault, it would've happened even if I wasn't the one in Jin's life. I bet she'd do that with every girl or guy that would be with him... so I'm gonna stop blaming myself over every single argument they have. Not that I want to be mean though. Nah. Xiaoyu can be a good friend. I like to tease her and just like the saying, "you tease the ones you love". So don't mistake me, I DON'T HATE HER! Even if I might've sound so. It's just that she's jealous.
When I told Jin about the shower incident, I didn't expect she'd take it badly. Now I feel fuckin' guilty again... what's a guy to do in such a situation? I don't want to interfere, but... no. I won't do it. I want to go and take a walk, anything to escape that. At the same time, leaving the house would sound like I wouldn't care, even though I do. Plus they'd get a chance to kill each other, and I want to avoid that.
"MATTE* XIAOYU!"
And the door slammed. She's gone outside. I wonder where though...
"Huh, didn't know she'd take it personal..." Jin says in a sigh.
"I've never seen you... angry... before."
"I'm not angry." Fake tone. He IS.
"OK, gonna say you aren't. But you told her kinda roughly not to bother getting you as a lover... and she loves you, man." So obvious that she does. She's acting like a fangirl everytime he talks to her, with big puppy eyes, all excited, fluttering eyelids. They've been close for a long time, and sometimes it happens that one falls in love with the other. And some other times, the other doesn't love back. This way, anyways.
Can't blame her for loving Jin, he's.. he's... wonderful! Too bad the world isn't made of Jins.
Rectification : maybe it's better this way actually. I don't want a bunch of half-demons around. One is enough.
"So... what ya gonna do?"
"Let go for now. She'll come back. She can't be angry toward me very long... I bet tomorrow she'll be back saying that she's incredibely sorry about what happen, you know the drill."
For some reasons, I wouldn't say the same. Anyways... fights like that used to happen inside the gang as well. Not often, but they did happen.
Especially with Hie's drug problem. That's where a lot of money was put. Drugs. No I'm not a user, neither were the others.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hie looked around. He wasn't alone and he knew it. But somehow... nothing seemed right. Everything was blurry and that red-headed man over there sounded like a distortionned guitar. "Turn that effect off... man..."
"What effect, Hie?"
"Distortion. Turn it off!"
Hwoarang turned to face Ran. "Huh... what stuff he did he try today?"
"Got no fucking idea. He was like this when I picked him up."
"Maybe we should call the ambulance." Seung said. "I don't think he's doing well..."
"OF COURSE HE'S NOT WELL! HE'S ON DRUGS!!"
"Hey hey hey... don't you all four people fight. Anything can be solved with talk."
"Four people... we're three, Hie. Four with you. Plus you're in no state to fight."
"Never said I was. I was speaking to your twins."
Ran sighed and looked at Seung, whose hand was ready to dial 911.
"I doubt it's a good idea. As soon as he'll be OK, they'll call the police."
"AND NO CHICKEN IS GONNA ARREST ME!"
"Hie shut up. Just for a sec..."
"AIN'T GONNA SHUT UP EITHER! Get it?" He paused. "Anyways... might be the time for me to go. See ya later, peeps."
The redhead grabbed his wrist. He wasn't going to let Hie alone. Well, he wasn't going to let him go at all. "You really want someone to spot ya drugged like that? Police keeps roaming around here because of our fights already, I don't want them to know we're keeping a druggy alive by buying him drugs."
"Aww come on guys..."
Seung let go off the phone and got closer to Hwoarang to whisper in his right ear. "Maybe we should report him..."
"You gotta be kidding me."
"AH FUCK! GET THE SNAKES OUTTA HERE!" Hie screamed loudly, only to be stopped by Ran who covered his mouth with his hand. Hie gave in and proceeded to calm down, melting in Ran's embrace.
"I'm gonna call Reiko." Hwoarang mentionned. "If something happens and you can't hold him on, Reiko should be able to."
"Else we'll have to call the police."
"Yeah and I want to avoid that."
"Might come down to this if he doesn't stop..."
Hwoarang reluctantly nodded. "And what if he goes berserk again?"
"We'll... have no idea of what we're going to do in that case."
"HEY! Might we get back to my problem?"
"The snakes?"
"Right on girl!"
"Girl?"
"He's referring to you, Hwoa."
Hwoarang was almost ready to smack Hie, but refrained from doing so. The man's mood swings were usually violent when he was on drugs. "Just... we have to do something with him!"
"Like wait until he's ok."
"Yeah. But he'll have to drop this habit someday, he's gonna ruin us!"
"It's what's keeping him alive!" Ran tried not to scream, still holding Hie in his arms.
But Hwoarang did. "IT'S WHAT'S GONNA KILL HIM AS WELL!"
"So let's do something about it..."
"I don't know what though. Rehab?"
"Maybe it will work. If he wants to go, that is. We can't force him" Seung continued. "He's an adult by law. Though if he can't make the best decisions for himself, we have to do something."
"And we might have to do those someday..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* END OF FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It hasn't changed much today. Hie's still on drugs and we're still trying to help him out of it.
Let's change the subject though. I really wonder where's Xiaoyu right now. Haven't seen her for a while. I'm going to ask Jin if he saw her, in case she came back while I was in my bubble. "Jin.. she's back yet?"
He shakes his head. "Not yet. If she isn't back by tomorrow..."
"Only tomorrow?"
"Another one of her friends's living around here. I think it's Miharu..."
"I see. She was pretty upset too."
"Maybe I shouldn't have been that hard with her."
"Jin, you did what you had to do. I think..."
"You're the one who told me to talk to her."
"But you're the one who decided to do so."
"Yeah..."
I got a question. "What did you tell her, exactly?"
"That she better stop acting like a kid, it's driving me nuts. I like her a lot, but when she starts interfering in my love life because she thinks that I'm in love with her..."
"So what are we gonna do?"
"Let her go if she wants to. And it's like I told you ; if she's not back by tomorrow, I'm going to search for her."
"OK. What about right now?"
"Want me to cook something?"
Eh? "I just ate my breakfast..."
"Oh ya, I just remember. Well... let's wait in case she'd come back."
"Better make the best out of it" I say as I sit on his lap and lay my head on his shoulder.
