In this chapter : Jin and Hwoarang have a look at the second house…
A/N : No flashbacks for this one, since it could almost be a retelling of the one in the last chapter, so it's shorter. The place is based from the one where I currently live, which is my parents' house. Without the pool and the garden x.x. And bigger XD. Once again, I'm sorry for the slow updates, I'll try my best to upload faster. But between gaming, work and writer's block... XD.
Reminiscence
Chapter 21 : House Checkin' Part 2
After everything evil we heard about twenty-five minutes ago, something is crossing my mind. Evil. "Jin… don't you have courses this afternoon?"
His Mitsubishi stopped in the middle of the road. At least no one was behind us… "Completely forgot about this. I'll just call in sick…" he says. Calling in sick. First time I see Jin lying actually. Changes from the sweet-as-honey guy I used to hate.
"Imagine the time you're gonna spend in that car when you'll want to go there. It's half an hour from the place we left, which is 10 minutes from your apartment."
"Well not really. It's more like twenty minutes from my apartment actually, make it thirty minutes to uni. It took us fifteen minutes to get there, but it was in the eastern direction, now we're heading west."
"Okay… I get it. Going back to uni… why was your "mid semester" a month before the end of the year?"
"Because the system is fucked up, koibito. No, really, students wanted to report the date of the mid semester vacations to later. It's our final exams, and since we needed more time to study than to work in our projects, that's what we decided to do. A month and I'll be free."
"ALRIGHT!!" Had to scream. "But you hardly studied…"
"I'm not worrying at all. Plus the book I was reading a week ago was for a course. Resumed everything, or almost. I'll end up with good grades." He gave me one of those smiles that could melt anything before picking up the cell phone again and dialing. "Kazama Jin speaking… I'm not really feeling good, could you forward my sheets by Ling Xiaoyu?.......... alright. Thank you." He hangs up before starting the car again. "Well, let's go."
Five minutes after, we reached the house. It was located – nope, LOST is the right word – in the middle of a small wooden area. We haven't seen a house for the past ten minutes or so. But this one made up for every single one. It was like if they gathered all of them in this one. Ten rooms… those rooms must be HUGE! There's a big swing in front, a garage, marble path and cherry trees. "And I thought the other house was cool, this one rocks!" OK, front door, keep calm…
This time it's a guy our age that opened the door. "Hey… you must be Kazama Jin right?" Jin didn't even nod that we were brought inside. "Name's Takeru. Nice meeting you. And you are… hold on, I've seen you somewhere… Hwoarang Doo-San! Watched the whole Iron Fist Tournament on TV. I didn't miss anything. So you two are together huh? Press knows?"
"Huh…" I looked at Jin. What do we answer first?
"Yeah, I'm Kazama Jin. And yeah, we called earlier."
Another voice could be heard. "Takeru, are they the visitors?"
"Yeah mom."
A woman of about forty years old showed up behind her son. "Alright, I'm glad you made it! Come on in, come on in!" This is the total opposite of what we went through earlier. They were nice. She led us to the living room, which is painted in a bright yellow and told us to sit on the couch. "Well well well… you're the two guys who want to buy our house? I bet you want to visit it first."
Jin nods. "Yeah, it would be a good thing."
"Oh my… I completely forgot to introduce us! My name's Nadeshiko. My husband is Hideo, and that's our son, Takeru. How old are you?"
"I'll turn twenty in two months, Jin is twenty already."
"Then maybe you'll like Takeru's room better than ours" Hideo laughs. "He's going to be twenty too. Ahhh… teenagers. Anyways, please come with us. You'll be able to see the whole house, which you'll probably like. So that's the living room. Couches are brand new, entirely made of leather, they come with the house. We can actually leave all the furniture inside."
"Except the computer desk, dad."
"Right, son." The hallways are in some kind of cool green and the kitchen is in an orange-red color with flowered wallpaper. Wooden cupboards. The computer room located on the first floor is blue and yellow. Takeru must be spending a lot of time here; posters of rock star and video games are on the wall, along with the couch and the video game consoles. I bet that those are going, sadly. "You like the colors so far?"
They're actually worrying if we like the colors or not, which is a VERY big difference, once again. We climbed upstairs while going through the other computer room, which is the same green as the corridor. The staircase is made of wood. There're two rooms upstairs, the masters bedroom and Takeru's room. The masters' is of a corn yellow, and Takeru's is half blue-green, half beige, separated by a burnt orange wooden frame. "Wow, this is cool! Right Jin? This is cool, eh? If we buy, we won't touch this one, buy a new bed and sleep in it!"
"Alright, koibito. We will."
Hideo now wants us to go check downstairs. The staircase is one big wooden spiral. The walls are painted in sweet beige. There are two guest bedrooms; one is in deep purple… weird color. The other one is green and beige, with leopard wallpaper. It would be a nice place to sleep too. I like the jungle feeling.
"So that's the basement living room and kitchen." Nadeshiko continues. There's only a beige couch and a wooden table set. "Maybe you want to check the garden and the pool now?"
"Of course!" Have to say that… a pool is always good. Anyways, in hot days. We follow the family outside, in a pretty nice garden, pool at the end of it. It's like in a dream, or taken out of a movie. Well me decision has been took: I'd buy it right away. It's what I've been searching for all my life… yeah I know it sounds corny as hell. Maybe not all my life, but a part of it. "Jin… we buy it, don't we? Huh? We buy it, huh?" So fucking excited…
"How much for the house?" I think he wants it too! Else why would he ask how much?
"Hmmm… the estimate was 16 million yen."
"16 million yen? No problem."
"I guess it's a deal then, Kazama-san."
Can't help my reaction. "WHOOOOOOOHOOOOO!" I've never seen Jin smile like that before.
"When do we make the first payment?"
"Don't worry for that. We'll tell you everything once the sale is official. When would you like to move in? Because we can help, of course."
"Thanks for the help, but we might be OK on that point. And I don't know… koibito, when do you think we could move?"
"Tomorrow??"
"A realist date... let's say, in a week or so?"
The man looked at his wife to see if it was possible, and she nodded. "It should be. Just leave us your phone number and we'll give you a call soon."
We do so, and then we're ready to leave. I still can't believe that THIS will be OUR house. OUR HOUSE. HOUSE. House. HOUSE! My jaw hurts because I smile too much… and I bet my eyes are opened as wide as big balls. Bad analogy… anyways. OUR. HOUSE. I'm like "Whoooooaaaaaaa" just at the thought of what the fuck we'll do in here. The thing will be to break Jin's contract with the landlord, but I guess it'll be worth every penny.
Jin and I, living in a house. Who would've thought such a thing? Jin and I together, like those couples they show in movies. Only much happier and without kids.
I'll be able to stand all the luxury.
Once we're back in the car, I'm still laughing my ass off and smiling. "Jin, is it a dream? Me and you living in that huge house? THINK ABOUT IT!!"
He chuckles. "Yeah, me and you, just the two of us, in there. Missing the kids and hop! Family that lived happily forever. It was worth skipping university today, I mean, look at that. You'll finally live in a good place, without worrying. And that's exactly what I wanted for you."
I blush often and now's not an exception… "How will we move everything we want?"
"We'll give a few phone calls… I'm sure Xiaoyu will be happy to help, and maybe Miharu could join. A week gives Julia enough time to come."
"JULES!!??"
"Hmm-hmm. She'll be pretty happy at the single thought we're together, and since she's in her summer holidays, I think, if we pay everything…"
"You think she could come?"
"Yeah!"
"Even better than I thought!!"
"Once we'll get home, we'll call them. Alright?"
"Alright."
