Chapter Nine: A Sweet Gesture

"So, Jin wanna come over my house tonight?" Hwoarang asked

"Huh? What'll I do there?"

"I dunno. Eat?"

"Eww, just the two of us? Are you gonna molest me or something?"

"Man, that's just sick! No, it's not gonna be the two of us only."

"With who?" Jin asked

"Xiao and Julia, dork!"

"Oh, right. Sure, I'm coming!"

"Don't tell me you're coming 'cause of Julia. She' mine!"

How'd he guess? Jin cleared his throat "Very funny…NOT!"


"Hey, where are all the pots and pans?" Julia asked

"In the cabinet under the sink" Hwoarang replied

"Why isn't Jin here yet?" Xiaoyu asked impatiently

"Nope" Suddenly, the doorbell rang

"THAT MUST BE JIN!" Xiaoyu said, shouting like never before. "I'll get it!" she ran to the door so fast that she almost slipped. But came back with a really big frown.

"So where's loverboy?" Hwoarang asked jokingly

"That was just some beggar" Xiao grumbled

"WAHAHAHAHAHA" Hwoarang laughed and laughed until his stomach hurt.

"Shut up" After an hour and a half, Jin wasn't there yet. They started getting worried. And hungry, too. They called him on the phone, but the maids said that he wasn't there and he hadn't told anybody where he was going.

"Damn. Where did that Jin go? It's already eight for crying out loud! I'm starving!" Hwoarang complained.

"You think we should still wait for him or start eating now?" Julia asked, she was getting hungry, too.

"We have to wait for Jin!!" Xiao said, ignoring her grumbling stomach.

"Wait?!" Hwoarang said, almost yelling "What if the guy forgot about us? You think we should wait till tomorrow?! Or till next week?!"

"Hwoarang, calm down. Relax." Julia said, afraid that he might explode with anger.

"Well, I think we shouldn't wait for him anymore"

"No, I suggest we go look for him" Xiaoyu said

"Look for him yourself" he snorted

"I would but I don't have a friggin' driver's license!"

"What, you expect me to drive you there?!"

"Yeah, like duh."

"No way"

"But why?" Xiaoyu whimpered

"Because. Just because."

"Please?"

"No"

"Please? Please?" Xiaoyu pleaded some more.

"I said no"

"Please? Pretty please with sugar and cherries and whipped cream on top?"

"No"

"Pretty please with sugar and cherries and whipped cream and chocolate and sprinkles and gummies and-"

"Oh, shut up! Okay, I'll drive you guys as long as you just shut up!"

"Yay!" Xiaoyu squealed and hugged Hwoarang

"Eww, let go of me" They all got in the car, Hwoarang started it.

"Thanks for agreeing to drive, Hwoarang" Julia said smiling.

"Yeah" he suddenly stopped "Erm, do you guys know where we're actually going to start looking for him?"

"Uhh…no" Xiaoyu replied blankly. Rain started pouring.

"Whatever, let's just drive around" So, they drove around aimlessly and not knowing where they are.

"Hwoarang, where are we?" Julia asked after an hour of driving around.

"Uhh…well, you see, I dunno"

"WHAT?!"

"I'm still unfamiliar to Japan, ya know"

"Oh, right." Julia said "Hey, Xiao, do you know where we are?"

"Actually, no. I haven't really been around Japan that much. My parents don't allow me to go too far."

"Uh-oh. We're lost." They all declared at the same time. Rain started pouring even harder. They passed coffee shops, malls, big restaurants, hotels, large factories, a flower shop…

"STOP!" Xiao suddenly screeched.

"What now?" Hwoarang asked, annoyed.

"Look, it's Jin!!!" she pointed at a guy with his back turned, buying something from the flower shop.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'd recognize that black spiky hair anytime!" they all got out of the car, completely ignoring the rain falling. Hwoarang tapped the guy tentatively on the back. He turned. It was Jin! And he was soaking wet!

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked, surprised.

"The real question is, what are you doing here?" Hwoarang said. "Damn. Did you forget you had to go to my house?"

"Sorry."

"Oh, Jinny! I was so, so, so worried about you!" Xiaoyu said hugging him.

"Erm, Xiao?"

"Yes?"

"You're embarrassing me. Please let go." Jin said, trying to be polite.

"Oh, sure. Hey, Jinny, you're wet! You'll get sick! Don't tell me you got wet 'cause you were walking under the rain."

"Um, I did" he replied sheepishly.

"Come on, I'm starving! Let's get in the car! The food'll get cold!" Hwoarang said. He got in first and Xiao followed. Julia was about to get in but Jin stopped her.

"Yeah?"

"Well, I, uh, wanted to give you these" he handed her a beautiful bouquet of red roses.

Julia's eyes widened "Aww, thanks. These are so pretty. You shouldn't have"

Jin smiled "No problem"

"Wait, you didn't travel all the way here just to get these, right?"

"Well, uh, I did."

"Oh, Jin, you didn't have to."

"Don't worry. It was my pleasure!"
