In this chapter : Hwoarang has the surprise of his life when he comes back after a walk around the block...
A/N : Man, this is taking me forever to write o_o;; Maybe it's 'cause of that stupid writer's block and all those times I had to stay at college and repeat/practice for the Theater course. It went great though ^_^ S'over XD. Now I have some more time to write... before the final exams. If I have some, that is ^_^;;;. But so far... bah I'm gonna stop rambling on my daily life and let you read this chappie. BTW, the flashback happens 2-3 hours prior the real-time story. Oh yeah, next 2-3 chappies won't have flashbacks, it's gonna be easier to follow the story if I skip them for now.
Reminiscence
Chapter 13 : From bad to worse in a flash
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hwoarang walked around the block. He had left Jin's appartment about an hour ago, in need of fresh air. Xiaoyu hadn't gone back to the appart so far, and he was starting to worry about the teenager's whereabouts.
"Hey! Hwoa!" The redhead turned around to see a spiked-haired man, wearing blue jeans and grey t-shirt.
"Ran!" The other male walked up to him and pulled him into a friendly hug. "What up man?"
There was a flash and Hwoarang quickly turned around. Nothing. [Sun's reflect on a car.] "Nothing much, walking and searching around for Jin's best friend... you seen her?"
"Depends what she looks like."
"She's 16, about 5'3", with pigtails, probably dressed in a high school uniform."
"Nope, sorry brudda."
"Heh fuck..."
"How long she's been missing?"
"A day."
"Don't worry... she'll come back."
"Yeah. Better tell myself so. And what about you? Not with Hie and Reiko?" the younger youth asked.
"They stayed at the appart. Cleaning hehe. If you wonder why I left, it's 'cause they needed window cleaner."
Hwoarang laughed out loud and tapped Ran's shoulder. "Poor boy... they've been treating you sooooooo badly. Wanna dinner?"
"Why not? Let's go to that little restaurant over there. YOU pay."
"ME?! You gotta be kidding me man... I have no freakin' money on me."
"I don't have much money either." The taller man paused. "Oh well, I guess the windows can wait to be cleaned."
The two men entered the restaurant and sat in a table near the window. They ordered pizza as the waiter got to their spot, then went back at their conversation. Another flash.
"Any idea of what you're going to do if you find her? And why did she leave in first place?"
"She's in love with Jin. I'm in love with him too, she sees me as a rival and she's getting jealous so... I bet she's pulling something."
"Like?"
Hwoarang rolled his eyes. "Do you think I know? I've known her for about 3 months, since the Third Iron Fist tournament."
"I see."
"Anyways... let's enjoy our pizza."
"Right on."
The 12-inch all-dressed pizza didn't last very long with those two hungry guys. "That was good, heh Hwoa?"
"Yep. I could eat that 365 days a year."
"Same here."
"Well, you paid me dinner, I'm gonna pay you that window cleaner hehe."
"Thought you had no money..."
The redheaded youth blushed. "Not enough for DINNER..."
Ran friendly tackled him, swung his arm over Hwoarang's shoulders then ruffled his hair. "Good ol' buddy." Flash.
"Well I better get going now. Gotta find Xiaoyu... if she's around actually. Which I hope she is."
"Good luck bud. See ya around! And don't forget to take care of you."
"I will, don't worry." The two hugged again, then left in two different ways. And between the actions, there was yet another flash...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* END OF FLASHBACK *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Got back home... without Xiaoyu. It's driving me mad now... what if something happened to her? I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life if she was found bruised, raped or dead... I looked on about 20 streets, including her friend's place. She didn't let me enter because she didn't know me."Hey Jin."
"Hwoarang, I gotta talk to you."
He sounds pretty serious. What the hell is he talking about? "Huh... about what?"
"That."
Pictures?
Oh fuck. "Hehehe... it's not what you think..."
"Oh yeah? Xiaoyu told me why you left."
"You mean she's back?" I'm boiling. Gonna kill her...
"She got back about an hour ago.... with those pictures. Said you've been on a date that guy."
"DATE?! We ate a pizza! He's a friend of mine, not a lover!"
"Oh yeah? What about this pic then?" He hands me a picture where I'm having sex with Ran.... I'm freakin' speechless!
"We just ate a pizza like we did ages ago!! Plus I never had sex with him... I never even had sex!"
"She told me you did."
"Who you're gonna trust? A 16-year-old girl who's jealous 'cause the love of her life is with a guy, or your lover, Jin?"
"I've known Xiao for YEARS. She'd never lie to me."
"Do you seriously think I'd cheat on you!?"
"She NEVER lied to me. And with all those boyfriends you seemed to have, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the first time you cheated on someone."
"I DIDN'T CHEAT ON YOU!! Why would I do such a thing?"
"You got your reasons, Hwoarang. And I got mine to tell you to leave."
"You mean that... it's over..?"
"Yeah. Just... just get outta here."
"Jin come on! I never even had sex... how could I cheat on you?"
"Get out of here, NOW!"
"Jin LISTEN! I never... whatever." I give up... he's not gonna listen to me. I can't believe it... he's... no I didn't cheat on him! What in the world have I done so this stuff happens to me... I know I'm crying. I just don't give a fuck. "I'm outta here."
I open the door, slam it and reets my back on it, letting the tears run down on my cheeks. Why in Hell does every single good thing happening to me turn out a nightmare? Maybe that's why I grew up alone. If I could end it all now... believe me I would. I want to die...
I walked for about 2 hours, getting nowhere. Not really nowhere... at my old appartement.... and knocked on the door. Why do I keep knocking... it's my place after all... Hie opens.
"Hey, Hwoarang... you look bushed. You OK?"
"Do I look like I am?" I manage to say between two sobs.
"Hold on a second. Reiko! Come here! What happened to you..."
"I want to die..." I fall on my knees. I'm so tired...
"Hwoarang!"
Reiko! I run to him as fast as I can, resting my head on his shoulders. He's going to understand... he'll understand, yeah. He knows that I never cheated on my lovers... "Tell him..."
"What happened??"
"Jin... he-he... he thinks I've cheated on him... he told me to leave!"
"Huh?!"
"I never done it! I couldn't!! I love him!!"
"Look Hwoarang, how did he find it out?"
"He can't find it out, I've never done it..." Never. He's my world, probably the only reason I live... and now that he's not in my life anymore... "I don't want to live..."
"Hwoarang..."
"She had pictures to prove it... I just had lunch with Ran, tell them, Ran!"
"We just ate a pizza. Nothing else." Ran's right. Nothing else. Nothing. Nothing...
"Pictures?"
"When Jin's gonna realize these are probably fake, he'll come back."
"Xiaoyu... she wants him. She'll get him I know."
"Get some rest, Hwoarang. You'll talk more about it later."
"I swear I've enver cheated on him..."
"I know. Come on with me, you're gonna rest a while."
"Yeah, go with Reiko."
What am I going to do... I love Jin... I love you....
