The Poem

A week passed and Hwoarang was finally discharged, he also forgotten about the wings on Asuka's back…. When he arrived at school, Steve rushed towards him.

"What the! Dude, you almost pushed me over!"

"Sorry, man! It is just that I have a request to ask,"

"Spit it or leave it!"

"Well, it is just that I want to write a poem for Asuka but I don't know what to write… Will you help me?"

"Sure, speaking of her---"

"Thanks man!" Steve didn't even let Hwoarang finish and ran away. Hwoarang shook his head. He continued his day…… He didn't see Asuka anywhere and decided to ask okuni about it." She say she got something to do today and cant come to school,"

"And what is this something you speak of?"

"Just because I am her best friend dosent mean I know everything!"

"Dumbhead…."

"Same to you!"

Hwoarang decided to work on the poem after school today." Why did I even accept the request?" Hwoarang tried to copy Steve's handwriting using one of his homework. When he started on the poem, memoris of what happened ran through his mind. The time where he found himself speechless in front of a girl for the first time… The time he seemed to imagine her wings… The time she visited him in the hospital… Then he find himself smiling to himself on his desk.

"Urge, better get back to work…."

To Asuka:

When I looked into your eyes,

My body become frozen as ice.

When I see you over there,

I run out of air.

When you get close to me,

Oh such sweaty palms I see.

Then he stopped wondering what to write next. Then he remembered the meaning of her name

Is this love?

Tell me my soaring dove.

Then once again, he stopped scratching his redhead. Then the 3 most disgusting(to him) words came out of his mind.

If I say "I love you, I really do,"

Will you say it too?

Pleased with his work, he recites it out loud.

"When I look into your eyes, my body becomes frozen as ice, when I see you over there, I run out of air, when you get close to me, oh such sweaty palms I see, is this love? Tell me my soaring dove, if I say 'I love you, I really do,', will you say it too?" For some parts of the poem, he recited with a disgusted face. He finishes the letter by drawing some heart shapes and signed…

Yours truly,

Someone.

He yawned and looked at the clock, it says 11 o'clock.

"Still some time left for some video games…"

Next morning….

"Here," Hwoarang quickly put the letter into one of Steve's pocket, so suspiciously, people might think he is trading drugs if they don't know the full story." Thanks!" Steve moves forward wanting to hug Hwoarang but Hwoarang stops him with his hand." I don't do hugs!"

Hwoarang walks away, half regretting what he done... There are girls other than Asuka, why bother?
