My Rival's Paradise
Peeping Tom
Hwoarang grabbed Julia and gave her a deep kiss tightly, wrapping his arms around her, as he fell on top of her. Julia's arms flailed around helplessly, half confused but found herself growing weak in his arms.
Hwoarang opened his eyes and finally let go of her and her head landed on the ground. "Oww!!!"
"Whoa," Julia breathed, looking into Hwoarang's eyes, almost dreamily. All of a sudden, she shook her head out of the daze and her dreamy eyes became narrowed again.
"What the hell was that for?!" she exclaimed picking herself up off the ground and brushing off her shorts.
"I can explain that," Hwoarang simply stated, running his hands through his hair, not looking at Julia.
"Don't think your little game of 'get the girl' is going to work on me this time, mister!"
"Hey, you don't understa-."
"Oh, I understand, all right. Just because half the female population found your little bad boy act sexy doesn't mean I do!" Julia found herself lying at this because she did indeed find his bad boy act a bit attractive.
"Will you just lemme talk?!"
"Now you're gonna tell me that you like me and that you are glad that we're stuck here together and to make the best of it, aren't you?! My answer to you is 'no freaking way!'"
"I heard something. You were babbling on and on about some other crap so I had to shut you up," said Hwoarang with a large Cheshire cat grin.
"H-huh?" Julia was now baffled and confused.
"That's the truth."
"So you kissed me?"
"If I covered your mouth with my hand, you would've most likely bit me."
"That's true," Julia thought but found herself very embarrassed. "I, um, what I said earlier, I wasn't thinking," she tried to stutter out even though she was as red as a lobster.
"Was what you said true though?" Hwoarang asked seriously.
Julia did not know how to answer. In truth, she was very attracted to Hwoarang by this time, and the kiss certainly boosted up that by a few points. "He is an awfully good kisser," she thought. "No! Think rational! You need to get off! You can't focus on a guy who probably just wants to get into your pants! But what if...no that can't be."
"Whew! I'm bushed! Hey! We're on a tropical island! We might as well explore and maybe find a waterfall! Ooh! That would be wonderful, wouldn't it? Let's go!" Julia blabbed out, pretending to ignore Hwoarang.
Hwoarang put his hands in his pockets, disappointed but knew that the kiss at least, ensnared her by a bit.
"Jin! Leggo ob me right noow!" Xiaoyu exclaimed into Jin's hand. Jin loosened his grip after all the noise stopped and then let go.
Taking huge heavy breaths, Xiaoyu flashed an angry glare towards Jin. "You didn't have to do that, you know! That hurt!"
"I was only trying to protect you," Jin answered quietly.
Xiaoyu knew that he spoke true but was getting frustrated seeing him so emotionless towards her.
"Jin, why don't we go and have some fun?!" said Xiaoyu happily, trying to break the awkward, silent mood.
"Fun?" Jin asked curiously. He rarely was interested in many things. Some found him as a snob or boring but Xiaoyu found it mysterious and challenging.
"Yeah, fun! Let's go exploring!" Xiaoyu took Jin by the hand gently and began leading him down an unpaved road, forgetting that there actually was a paved road that would've been safer.
They had walked sort of far off into the woods which looked more like a rainforest. Xiaoyu found many awkward silences but finally found a subject that intrigued Jin.
"So how are your mother and father?" Xiaoyu asked, curious to know more about Jin.
Jin's hands gripped his pants harder and his head hung down, he stared at the ground and opened his mouth several times but found it hard to speak.
"You promise not to tell?" he finally choked out.
"H-huh?" Xiaoyu was surprised that he would actually speak to her about something personal. "I mean, I promise."
"I love my mother very much. I lived with her and she raised me all these years. She is the only woman I trust and she is the most important person to me. But...."
"But what?"
"My father is a very evil man," Jin continued. "I don't like to see him. The only time I see him is during family dinners. He's always in the city with his business and other stuff." Jin appeared to look sad and Xiaoyu saw a hint of pain in his eyes.
"His father must have hurt him before," she thought.
"I don't like to talk about it much. But it's nice to let it out once in a while," Jin smiled, his eyes meeting Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu blushed but managed to keep her cool. "It's nice to talk to you," she smiled back, happily. "I mean it."
Jin turned a slight tinge of pink and continued walking next to Xiaoyu.
The two of them were making their way up a cliff to check for any signs of water besides the ocean. They continued to walk not noticing that the cliff had a very steep slope just ahead.
"So where are your parents?"
"Oh, I live with my uncle Wang-," Xiaoyu tripped on a rock and soon disappeared from Jin's sight. She slid down the cliff, not falling for tumbling over the stones and soon found herself, half conscious.
It wasn't long after Xiaoyu's loud shriek echoed that Jin had jumped down with her, snagging his thin shirt on a large branch from a tree. "Ah, crap!!!" He also took notice of her red shirt snagged on the branch. "That must mean..."
He slowed down to a stop when he reached the dirt at the bottom. He crawled towards Xiaoyu and turned her over but he quickly looked away and darted his hand away when he noticed that most of her shirt was ripped in many places.
"Um, Xiaoyu?" he shook her quietly. Xiaoyu roused with a loud groan. She stared up at Jin, not noticing that the boy that she had been worshipping for years was shirtless.
"Whoa...ack!!!" she noticed that he was indeed shirtless and darted her eyes away. "Um, er...," the both of them stuttered, turning bright red and not looking into each other's eyes.
"Y-your shirt," Xiaoyu simply uttered.
"Yours too," Jin looked around trying to find something else to look at. He wasn't a pervert, but he had a hard time pretending that there wasn't a half topless girl in front of him.
"We should try to get our stuff back."
The both of them tried to climb the giant cliff but found it nearly impossible without any equipment.
"I-I dunno if it's going to be possible to get it," Jin muttered, still embarrassed, his chest a bit scratched from trying to climb up.
"Are we just gonna go around like this then?!" Xiaoyu shrieked, who was now beet red, using her hands to cover herself.
The both of them said nothing seeing that the answer was inevitable and pointless to answer. They walked further down into the road from the cliff and took a turn.
"Wait!" Xiaoyu stopped. "I hear something!" The familiar sound of water running, no, not running, thundering. "A waterfall!"
She ran quickly in the direction from where the noise came from, Jin following behind.
Before they reached the waterfall, they stopped by a large rock. "Look! Clothes!"
"Wow! Will ya look at that?!" Julia breathed a sigh of amazement when she gazed upon the waterfall that fell into a crystal blue creek of some sort.
"Pretty nice," Hwoarang had to admit that Julia had good navigation skills when she overpowered him in arguing whether they should go left or right.
"Are you going in?" Julia asked.
"Are you?"
"Turn around," Julia replied as she began to lift up her shirt. "I said 'turn around.'"
Hwoarang growled and turned around and began undressing too. He needed to wash off all the sand and grit that stuck to his body from all the walking.
"Okay, I'm going in first. You don't turn around until I say so," Julia informed. "Understand?"
"Yeah, yeah, I understand! Hurry up!" Hwoarang was getting impatient because back then he would've pretended that he was too cool to go bathe in a creek. But now, he was nearly desperate.
He heard a splash and a giggle and then he couldn't resist. He whooshed around and ran into the creek quickly.
"Ahh!! I told you not to turn around until I said so!" Julia exclaimed angrily.
"Oh, as if you saw anything!" Hwoarang dunked his head in the water and came back up.
Julia's whole body was under the water and only her head stuck out. She waddled away and called out. "Okay, this is my side and that is yours! Stay on your own!"
"This is my side and that is yours, stay on your own blah blah blah," Hwoarang made an annoyed imitation of Julia's bossiness.
He swam over to the waterfall and slowly walked in. Behind the waterfall caught his eye and he stood up to take a look.
On the stone walls held many pictures carved that appeared to tell a story. He ran his hand on one of them that got his attention. A creature, no, more like half human with wings terrorizing a large group of people.
For some reason, Hwoarang's feet seemed to stick to the ground even though he tried to move them, it was almost as if his feet were glued and gravity was against him.
"Shit!" he started moving around trying to wriggle away from the pull that the ground held him.
Soon, he began to feel ridiculous moving around, flailing his arms and making grunting noises out of vain to help him get out of the iron grips of the ground.
"Ahhh!!!" a female voice screamed. "I did not need to see that!"
Suddenly, Hwoarang's feet were set free and he fell backwards onto his rear with a loud plop.
He turned around to see Julia with her back turned inside the water, covering her eyes and hyperventilating. "I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!" she repeated to herself.
"You were spying on me, weren't you?!" Hwoarang ran away and jumped back into the water.
"Me?!" Julia turned towards Hwoarang. "Who would wanna spy on you?!"
"Lots of girls," Hwoarang was about to reply but decided against it seeing that it would only make Julia grossed out more.
"I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!" she kept telling herself. "Oh, who am I kidding?"
"So you saw the whole thing?" Hwoarang asked, trying to regain his dignity.
"I didn't see anything!" exclaimed Julia turning bright red.
"You're lying," Hwoarang swam towards her with a suspicious look on his face.
"You stay away from me! I don't want to be near you right now!" Julia started to tread away.
"So what did you think?" Hwoarang teased, gaining back his usual, teasing, terrorizing attitude when he felt like making fun of someone.
"I didn't see that!" Julia yelled. "Okay, so what if he has a nice butt? Stop that!" she thought. She honestly did not see everything, for if she had, she would've had a worse reaction.
"But you still saw something, didn't you?" he was getting closer, his face twisted in a giant smirk. "I'm only gonna play around. I'm not gonna do anything," he thought evilly.
"Stop it stop it stop it!!!" she shrieked over and over again.
Hwoarang brought his face close to Julia and his lips parted. "He's going to kiss me for real this time," she thought. She didn't know whether to lean forward and stay. She knew that she couldn't back away, and even if she wanted to, she might cut her heel on one of the rocks below.
"What would you do if I told you...," he began.
"Y-yes?" Julia managed to breathe out.
Hwoarang did not finish his sentence and his eyes no longer held the sultry look but widened into a look of surprise and shock.
"Our clothes are gone!!!"
