xjmaster: Hi. Thanks so much for reviewing this story. I've been reading your work too, but I haven't got much free time to write a review, though I promise that I will review in the near future! Besides, I used to watch Bam in TV too…specially in Jackass. Bam and Knoxville are hilarious!

ku-tu-juitsu: Thank you for your review and your suggestions. I always read the same chapter at least 3 times before it's posted, but unfortunately there are some mistakes that my computer doesn't fix, and well sometimes I'm also very sleepy in front of the computer…I'm so sorry for that! I'm also sorry to confuse you (I don't intend to confuse the readers). I will try to correct the grammar mistakes and the confusing parts. Take care and thanks.

Chapter 4 – To give in or not to give in

The next day, Julia woke up very late in the morning. She sat down in her bed and watched the white sheets. Last night she had dreamed about Hwoarang. She had thought about that kiss all night. Slowly she got up and opened the window. The sun was in the sky, shining brightly. Why was she so disturbed about a single kiss? She had been kissed before, so why was she reacting like that?

Jin had told her that Hwoarang was only an arrogant jerk, but she was definitely attracted to him. She didn't know why, because he wasn't her type. She always liked the good guys, such as Jin or even Steve.

After the breakfast, Steve disappeared and so did Hwoarang. Jin and Julia went to ride.

-'You're different!'-Jin said.

-'What?'

-'What did he do to you?'

-'Nothing.'

-'Look…you're my friend…I care about you!'

-'I appreciate it.'

-'Don't get too close to him. He is not worth it!'

-'I don't know what you're talking about, Jin.'

-'Of course you do. That Korean guy cannot be trusted! Don't play his games!'

-'Lets talk about something else!'

-'Like what?'

-'Like Ling Xiaoyu.'

Jin blushed a light pink when he heard that name. Ling Xiaoyu was a Chinese young girl who was living with him and his grandfather in Japan. She had arrived a few months ago and Jin had developed a secret passion for her. She was so pure and innocent that he had been attracted to her since the first day they met.

At first he had tried to treat her with indifference but Ling was the kind of person that you can't ignore. Now he was completely in love with her.

-'Did you tell her?'-Julia asked.

-'No.'

-'She needs to know.'

-'She's probably angry with me…maybe furious…'

-'You told her that we're just friends, right?'

-'Yes, but it's not that.'

-'What is it?'

-'I kind of…kissed her…'

-'That's great! You finally gave the first step!'

-'But after that she never spoke to me again.'

-'Maybe she's afraid to tell you her feelings.'

-'Yeah, maybe…she did say she loved me, but she was dreaming…'

-'You slept with her?'

-'Yes, but nothing happened.'

-'Don't you think you should leave and talk to her?'

-'I'm a bit scared of her reaction.'

-'That's normal…but if I were you I would go!'

-'What about your father?'

-'I'll tell him that I don't want to marry you!'

-'Will you chose the Korean?'

-'NO!'

-'Steve?'

-'I don't think so. I don't love them…I mean they're fine…at least Steve is. He's a good friend and all that, but I don't feel anything special when I'm with him.'

-'But you do feel something when you're with Hwoarang, don't you?'

-'No, I don't.'-Julia lied.

-'You're lying. I can see it in your face. You were never a good liar!'

-'Sorry.'-she said.

-'It's ok. It's just that I would hate to see you hurt. And I know he'll hurt you!'

-'I just can't help it!'

-'That's precisely why I don't want to go…because I know that you'll be vulnerable…'

-'Hey, I'm a big girl now…'

-'I know…but you have a heart! And if you don't stop thinking about that guy, he's going to break your heart…believe me!'

Julia looked at him and hoped that he was wrong.

They arrived home at night fall, and Hwoarang watched them from his room window. He felt that he was losing again. Actually, he had to control his anger because he wanted to go downstairs and beat the crap out of Jin.

-'Look Jin…you can go back to Japan whenever you want. I'll be alright; I won't let anyone hurt me, ok?'-Julia said with a decided look.

-'Do you promise?'

-'Yes!'

-'Ok, then I'll go as soon as I speak with your father.'

That night Hwoarang couldn't sleep. First it was too hot; July was a hot month in Arizona, and second because he was thinking about a way to make Julia and Jin break up. Thinking about Jin was making him furious. He hated guys like him. Jin was good looking, rich, powerful and would probably have a nice future. He didn't need to work to buy food or clothes. An easy life with all the best things someone could ask for. As for him, he had to work since he was fourteen, to be able to eat properly. His parents had died when he was young and Baek had taken care of him. However Baek was a good man, he wasn't rich, so they had to work both to have a decent life.

Hwoarang got up and left his room. He went downstairs to drink a glass of water, but he ended up taking a beer out of the fridge. Then he went to the living room and switched the TV on.

He stayed there for a while. The TV was on, but he wasn't paying attention. He was thinking about his life. Maybe he wasn't having a very decent life. He was always in troubles with the police; Baek had to bail him out at least five times in the last year. He had become a thug leader since he was fifteen. It might not be something that he should be proud of, but in Korea it was very important to survive on the streets, and being a thug leader meant that he was one of the best fighters around, so everyone respected him. Baek didn't like this idea of having a gang, but when he saw that Hwoarang didn't listen to him, he quitted. Hwoarang was a great fighter and his best student, but he was also the most unsubordinated.

Suddenly Hwoarang heard some steps and watched Steve going upstairs. What was Steve doing there? When Steve disappeared he finally finished his drink.

"This was a mistake, I shouldn't be here. Eijiro and I should be back in Korea by now. Baek will be worried and I don't even know why the hell I'm here!" Hwoarang thought to himself. He had done his part of the deal. He had gone there, pretending to be someone else and Julia Chang hadn't chosen him. So the best thing to do was to leave and collect his money.

He got up from the couch and he was going to leave when he saw Julia. She had heard some noises and she thought that someone had forgotten to turn off the TV.

The sight of her made his brain stop. He didn't want to leave anymore.

-'I didn't know you were here!'-she said feeling suddenly nervous.

-'I couldn't sleep…'-Hwoarang said still watching her. She was wearing a short night gown. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

Julia noticed and she started to feel a bit embarrassed.

-'I'm going back to my room.'-she announced.

-'Wait!'-Hwoarang said holding her arm.-'What would your boyfriend say if he saw us right now?'

-'My what?'

-'Jinny boy…that asshole!'

-'Jin is not my boyfriend! And he's not an asshole.'

-'Yeah…sure…and I'm the Emperor of China!'

-'He's a dear friend, that's all!'

-'Then why are you always with him?'

-'Because he's always there for me…and he's not rude like you!'

-'So, I'm rude…?'

-'Yes. Now let me go!'

-'If he's not your boyfriend, then I guess he won't mind if I kiss you again, right?'

-'You wouldn't dare!'

-'Yes, I would, and I will!'-saying this Hwoarang kissed her. He didn't know why, but he was a different person when Julia was around. A while ago he wanted to leave and return to Korea, and now all he could think off was to stay there with Julia.

When he realised what was happening he was lying on the couch with Julia. She was trying to resist, but she wasn't succeeding. Hwoarang had started to kiss her neck when she finally reacted. Julia pushed him violently and punched him in the face. Then she got up.

-'What the hell do you think you're doing?'-she asked furiously.-'Do you think you can just take advantage of me in my own house?'

Hwoarang looked at her and for a moment he could swear he had seen tears in her eyes. He lowered his head and stood in silence.

-'You have no idea what you just did, do you?'-she asked.

-'You wanted it. You answered the kiss…'

-'You forced me!'

Hwoarang looked at her in the eyes and got closer to her.

-'I forced you? It didn't feel that way…I think you need to clear up your mind a bit Julia…you're a bit confused!'

Hwoarang returned to his room and fell on his bed. What the hell did he just do? Why couldn't he just ignore that girl and leave once and for all? He didn't want to take advantage of her, but he had just lost control, it couldn't happen again.

"Maybe she'll tell her parents and they'll send me away. If I were them I would. I need to forget about her, she's just a silly and rich girl, who happens to be quite beautiful and attractive. But I can't keep losing control. Besides, even if I win against Jin and Steve, I'm not Yon Kwan; I can't stay here and pretend to be him. I'm playing with this girl's heart and I shouldn't be doing that."

In that moment Hwoarang fell asleep. He was confused with all those emotions.

As for Julia, she was even more confused than him, but now she was sure about two things: first, Yon Kwan wasn't acting like he was supposed to because she knew that Yon was a shy person; and second, she was definitely attracted to him even knowing that he was playing games with her.
