In this chapter : The guys are just about to move… return of Xiaoyu and Miharu!

A/N : No flashback in this chapter. It's long enough without one! n.n;;;. Next chapter, the dark stuff. Had those ideas (because yeah, there will be even more than one) since the beginning, but it took me time to get everything in order to bring those up. I know I'll have to edit those chapters, because the rating would go up to NC-17, which has been removed. If you want the uncensored chapters (26 and up), e-mail me and I'll be more than happy to send them to you n.n. Beware, as they WILL be disturbing, and I mean it. It actually gets disturbing at the end of this chapter. Not saying anything more else I'll ruin everything… except this: NOT for the kiddies. If you're under 18, or aren't mature enough, don't read. I'm serious. If you think you are, go ahead and enjoy!

Oh… If you don't remember the Yoshida family, they're the one who sold the house to our cute couple.

Reminiscence
Chapter 25 : Moving! Really!


I was awakened by a rather… excited Jin… not THIS way, pervos. He bent down right in my sleepy face with that big smile of his. Talk about a way to wake up someone… "What's new?"

"Well the Yoshidas called and guess what… they moved everything they needed and that if we wanted to move today, that they could help us and such."

"Huh… we don't have a lot of stuff… I think we'll do fine with Julia and Xiaoyu. By the way…we got to pick her up today, right?"

"Julia? Yeah, we do. What time her flight comes in?"

"No idea! Why d'you ask me? You know I suck at remembering stuff like that."

He chuckles before getting off me (yep, he was still over me) and goes off to the living room to check the time her flight lands in Japan, then came back in the bedroom. "So basically, we get her from the airport at noon – in two hours – then we come back here to gather the rest of our stuff. Xiaoyu will join us here along with Miharu- "

My eyes grow wide and I shudder. "Nah… not three girls?!" I'm desperate here. Three girls and two guys. THREE TIMES XIAOYU! Scary!

"I'm afraid so. They'll help us moving, and then Julia will go back with them… girl's night out." Yeah, afraid is the right word. Be afraid of Xiaoyu and Miharu. Be really afraid.

"Meaning we'll spend our first night with just the two of us?"

Jin smiled once again. "Yep. Alone. Hehehe."

For some reason… I don't like the look on his face. He's not evil, but I know what he's thinking about…

"Come on now. I'll get you your breakfast while you get dressed. And please, do fast. There's always traffic on the highways at that time."

"Alright, alright…" I grabbed a few clothes here and there, my green jeans and a red shirt. I know what Jin'll say… "You're not gonna wear this??" Let's try it out. I slip on the pants and the shirt and enter the kitchen.

"You're not gonna wear this, right?" Predictable.

"Huh… no?"

"Then go change… your breakfast's ready."

Ah… what would go well with my green jeans? "How about my black muscle shirt?"

"Anything but that red shirt. Christmas isn't here yet."

"I'll go for the black shirt then. I guess…" Most of my clothes are packed anyways. I don't mind wearing the same clothes over and over again, even if they need to be washed every two days. Talking about washing stuff… "JIN! THE WASHING MACHINE AND THE DRYER!"

"FUCK! Eat your food; I'll call for a mini-van. Damn it… can't believe we actually forgot about those..." Hmmm… pretty rare I hear him swearing. Gotta say that he's right though. How the hell did we forget about the dryer and the washing machine? They take so much place…

I never ate that fast.

Then we prepared the machines, and we finally left for the airport.

In the car…

"It's going to be weird for me, moving into another big house after everything that happened at my grandfather's place."

"Well it's going to be even weirder for me… never had the chance to live in such a big place. Heh… it's about two times bigger than Baek's own house."

I suddenly feel the urge of fiddling with something. The car radio. "Nothing on this channel… not on this one either… damn… are TV channels and radio ones linked? Whenever there's nothing on one there's nothing on the other. And when do we reach the airport? I'm bored… need to move…"

"You'll move a lot in a few hours. A lot. Try to get your mind on something else while we… ah shit… traffic jam…"

"HOLY FUCK! WHY!!??" No… the world's against us… "What's the local radio station?"

"There" he says as he fiddles with the radio buttons and finally stops on a Japanese road report.

"They have to be kidding us right? TWO HOURS TO GET PAST HERE?!!"

"Oh god… XIAOYU! I knew we had forgotten something else."

"Gimme your cell phone. Come on… what's their number?"

"It's on speed dial. This button and 3."

"Ok. Moshi moshi? Xiao? Hey, it's Hwoarang. We kinda… forgot… about you girls… yeah yeah I know… YEAH! Gomen… no we can't turn back. We're stuck in a traffic jam… I KNOW! Hold on." I turn to Jin. "We pay the cab so they come, right?"

"Well, we need to get back home to pick our stuff, so we'll get to their place with the minivan.

"Xiao? We'll pick you up when we get back at Jin's place to gather the rest of our stuff… in two hours. We're stuck in the traffic… and two hours ONLY if Julia's flight is on time. You never know with those. Is it ok? Alright alright… see ya!"

"Not too much angry at us?"

"Just enough, believe me… just enough…" We really could've been careful about them. I always say I hate her, but deep inside, I don't. OK yeah, she got me on the verge of suicide… but she had no idea I'd react like that. She doesn't know much about me and what I went through… and even Jin doesn't know the whole story. I don't know how to bring all those subjects… and most of that I want to forget anyways.

It's life, eh?

Yep. Life. Even though it sucks… like right now. Being stuck in traffic.

Two hours later…

IT WAS ABOUT DAMN TIME WE GOT OUT OF THIS PLACE! Needed to move bad… My legs are all stiff. I have the impression I haven't walked for ages, while I haven't done it for only 2 hours or so. I also feel the need to jog around, play basketball or something. No… going to sail instead. Nothing better than the seaside wind to do activities. "Jin, stop for a sec. Need to get out for a few minutes..."

"We're in the middle of the highway, but we'll reach the airport soon."

Dammit… why traffic jam?! Why having to go back at home after that?! WHY ME! Maybe because I'm going to live with Jin. "How long, soon? Tomorrow soon?"

"Two minute soon. Look, we can already see the plane landing."

"Julia's flight?"

"I think so… American Airlines."

"The guts she has to get in that plane and go through how long… 12 hours… to help us move. I don't know if I'd have accepted… you know how I'm actually scared of those."

He nods as he parks the Mitsubishi in a free lot.

"FREE! I AM FREE!" I actually screamed that.

"Shhhhhhh koibito… Come on; let's get in to see if she arrived."

"Alrighty-o."

We got inside the building. Inside is OK for me… it's inside the PLANE I don't wanna go anymore. And well, don't really have a choice if we want to leave Japan someday.

And yep, we see a whole lot of American people coming out of the plane. Don't know if it's a non-stop flight or what, but they don't seem extenuated. I would. I wonder if Julia's in the crow… maybe she is by the luggage gathering place. Or maybe still at the customs… most likely. Since terrorist attacks in 2001 (I wasn't even born… they still talk about it today, in 2024…), 2010 and 2019 (I remember this one… bad) they totally reinforced every single airport. Once had trouble getting in one with my belt… a BELT… like I'd kill someone (duh…) with a belt (DUUUUUH).

Alright, I could choke someone… but that's not the point. It was because there was some metal on it. "WHOOO WATCH OUT! I'M DANGEROUS! I HAVE METAL ON MY BELT!" No, I didn't scream that …

Even though I wanted.

Anyways… damn I like being tall. I can see everyone around me. And it'll help Julia finding us. I mean… who wouldn't spot two tall guys, when they're taller than most of the people (except the Americans. Some are even taller than me and Jin) and my red hair makes me visible from a quite long distance… I think.

And that's how she spots us. Told you!

"JIN! HWOARANG!"

Whoa… she brought stuff for WEEKS. Girls and their "I-need-everything" ways… bet she brought her whole wardrobe. You really have to see this. Hilarious! But it's Julia after all and I don't want her to change her ways. Except that, mind you. She's running toward me… This footage should actually belong in a movie, right where the girl hasn't seen her boyfriend for a long time. But in our case, she's not my girlfriend and she doesn't have a boyfriend as far as I know, while I do have one.

Life's a bitch sometimes, isn't it? Mwahaha.

All that to tell that I swept her off her feet. I don't do that much (since the guys I go out with are usually heavier then what I can lift… yeah, it sounds pathetic) but with women, it's always fun. They like it. And what does Jin do? He goes behind her and hugs her, which means he hugs me at the same time. Sandwiched between me and Jin. I'd like to be her. "So… how did your flight go?"

"It was nice! We didn't even have to stop after all. And I didn't even get sick! Unlike other would've, right?"

"Stop saying stupid things… Me? Getting sick? Nah."

"Hwoarang, you'd actually be unconscious."

"Thanks Jin. I'll remember this one." I was going to say "No sex for you…" Hmmmm whatever.

After she was back on her feet, we left to head back for the car, then we'll pick up the minivan to get our stuff home, and then we'll pick Xiaoyu and Miharu up. "We kinda forgot them on our way earlier" I explain to Julia.

"Awww poor girls. Can't wait to see Xiaoyu and meet Miharu!"

"They're like sisters. TWINS. They're both hyper…" She's laughing as she hugs me. If I was straight, I'd probably be with her. But it's really unlikely to happen. "Hey Jin… don't forget the minivan we rented."

"Heh… don't worry koibito."

In the minivan…

At least getting that car wasn't a big deal. It won't hold everything so we'll have to make 2 trips back and forth Jin's apartment and the new house. Weeee. For the sake of Tokyo I won't drive and stay at home… no, I won't be able to do that in fact… I know Jin's strong, but alone, it's not going to work. Guess the girls will stay there then.

And still I won't drive. I'd be a real danger on the streets. I know how to drive a motorcycle… but a car… never tried. I'm not even sure I want to in fact.

"So how big is your apartment, Jin?"

"Not very big. I don't have a lot of things in there… only took us a bit more than an hour to pack everything we needed. We'll get the electronics and appliances first, then the boxes" he replies, still glancing at the two other girls who are now with us. We stopped at their place first, mainly so they could give us a hand. It's fun hearing them giggling, but in a few hours I'll obviously get tired of them. Even Jin gets tired of it sometimes…

"Here we are guys! So what do we need to help you with?" Xiaoyu jumps up and down at the single idea of helping someone. Miharu's calmer… between Julia (who's totally calm) and the ever hyper Chinese brat, as I like to call her.

"You could unhook the cable and the PC cords, since you're smaller than us. Me and Hwoarang will lift the dryer and washing machine, and then carry them to the minivan."

"We should've called Reiko and the gang to lift them up, not me…"

"Quit underestimating yourself, Hwoarang." That's Miharu alright… "You know you're stronger than you think."

"Am I? Whatever… come on Jin. Let's start this!"

He nods, then follows me in the bedroom, where the washing machine is. Yeah I know it's weird… but it's life.

We got it in the minivan, and then we got the dryer in it as well. Then the TV. The girls had unhooked every single cord and electric object in the house in a record time. We stocked those on the floor and on the table, and left for the house…

…Only to find that they had left the washing appliances for us.

I'm going to kill myself

"Koibito… help me with the TV, please."

"YES SIR!" TV goes in the living room. It's nice because we don't have to paint, redo the floors or whatsoever. Everything is just as we wanted. We'll take Takeru's room and make the master room out of it, and leave the "master" room as the guest room. Bathroom's okay and so is the toilet room. And this time, everything fits in the giant closet in the basement, which is done in a traditional Japanese way. Don't know if I mentioned the first time we came in.

The second trip to Jin's apart went on. This time we brought the rest. All the boxes with the silverware, dining ware, food that was left, bathroom stuff, CDs and the computer.

"Let's put the computer in the living room. This way we'll have the TV as a background sound." Gotta agree with my lover. I hate being on the computer when nothing's moving around me.

"I'LL HOOK IT UP!"

"AND I'LL HELP!"

Xiaoyu and Miharu, after plugging everything on the TV, are offering themselves as computer experts. Shudder. It's actually pretty easy, yep, even for them.

"Do you guys put the microwave on the table?" asks Julia.

"Jin… the lamp, it's still for the bedroom, right?"

"Huh-huh. Go for the bedroom, koibito. Like to read in bed." Yeah, he really likes that. And I'd like it too… if I had something to read except his boring Administration books. I hate those. "It's also nice that they left the Venetian blinds in the windows."

"This way, you'll be able to make sweet love in every room!"

Ah… something I had totally forgotten about. "We'll see that once you perverted girls are outta here."

"Aawww… that's what we wanted to see! Right Xiaoyu? RIGHT?!"

"Yeppers. You would have stayed with us, eh Julia?"

"To watch those two fuck like horny bunnies? Of course!"

Hmmmm… I don't even want to think about them staying here tonight. They'll be deceived and bother us all day long…

A few hours later…

Everything's in order and clean. That's the good thing about being five to move. Now the girls are gone… and I'm about to get to bed. Pooped. Ugh… that sounded so gay. I think I'll sleep like a baby until tomorrow afternoon, unless Jin wakes me up again. And after my shower, I slid in… nope. Tonight I'll sleep naked. Finally… nah. Pyjamas. Cold.

Mmmmm pyjamas. Y'know… fluffy ones… well not girly-fluffy… manly-fluffy. They're deep blue with green squares. I love those.

Right as I'm about to fall asleep, Jin gets in too. Nothing better than to snuggle… He wraps his strong arms around me, and I find myself half-asleep again. I feel his hands running in my hair, my back, my arms… I turn around to face him and he starts to kiss me deeply. His hands move more, concentrating around my waist. Then they move into my pants.

I don't like the feeling…

No, I really don't like that. "Jin………"

But he keeps going on. Maybe he thinks I actually like it… but I don't.

"Jin……… please……"

Man… he really doesn't stop… I'm really getting scared now. I know where this is going. I nervously look around the room… I'm shaking but I know he doesn't feel it. And I can only whisper…

"Jin… stop it…"

I just can't take it anymore. I have to leave… I want him to stop… but he just doesn't! Got no choice but to free myself…

"NO!!" I scream and send him a rather powerful knee blow in the stomach. I can't take this… I want to die… can't face Jin……… I'm running downstairs, gotta find those Tylenol. I know how I can end all this shit. I hear him running after me… I don't want him to see this. I don't want to hurt him, yet……

I really want to die.

"HWOARANG! UNLOCK THE DOOR!"

All I can do is sob and try to open that fucking childproof contenant.

Child.

None of this madness anymore.

"HWOARANG!! TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG!"

I can't, Jin. If you knew how much I would do so… but then you'll leave me……… I can't live without you, yet you won't live with me anymore…

"HWOARANG! Argh… that's it…"

The door crashed on the floor. He busted it.

"Oh no… you're not going to kill yourself!" He grabs the bottle and throws it away, then hugs me. I feel do damn stupid… but I don't want to go through all that again. I'll do everything to escape it……… "Koibito… please… tell me what's wrong……… you know you can tell me everything…"

He's crying. It's the first time I've seen him crying…… do I mean that much to him? "You're going to hate me……"

"Of course not, Hwoarang. Don't say such things." He's so… sweet… his hands are still on my face, wiping my tears…

But he deserves to know.

"Hwoarang… please…" He's so… desperate…

I lower my head. "I………… was raped, once."

"Oh……"

"When I was a kid."

…To be continued…

A/N 2 : DUM DUM DUM! Next chapter gets rather… heavy. As I explained earlier, I'll put a censored version, and everything will be ONLY implied. I don't want this fic to disappear from this site. It'll still be dark from there, but well… less dark than the uncensored version. Thanks for reading, and hope this won't stop people from doing so! After all, it's only fiction hehehe.
