Kim The Neglected, Part II
By: The Arsenal 3.0

Chae Lim received a call from the last person she expected and on a Saturday no less. To top it off, her teacher was rambling on, something about bonding, dying alone, blah, blah, blah. You know, the usual.

Having little say in the matter, Chae arrived in a hurry at Kim's place having thrown on short shorts and a white shirt and greeted her master with all the enthusiasm of someone who was forced to wake up early on a Saturday.

"Hi..."

"CHAE, YOU'RE HERE!" Kim exclaimed while picking his student up and spinning her around in a massive hug. "And at 8:00 am, sharp! Impressive."

"Can you tell me what this is really about?" Chae asked as she rubbed her eyes.

"Can't a sensei just hang out with his favorite student?" Kim replied. "And we have the whole day to do stuff! So what do you wanna do?" He flashed a grin of glistening white teeth that blinded a random passerby riding a bicycle, causing them to crash into pole.

"Well...I've been wanting to go to the movies to see Harry Potter."

"A POTHEAD MOVIE?!" Kim asked incredulously. "Young lady, I disapprove!"

"Not Pothead! Potter!" His student corrected.

"Oh, well that's good. Just remember, winners don't use drugs!"

Chae rolled her eyes, "You sound like my uncle."

"But...I'm more physically attractive, right?"

"CAN WE JUST GO?!"

Hours later the teacher/student duo exited the movie theater, Chae carrying snacks and other assortments in her arms while Kim was lost in thought.

"You didn't have to get me all this, you know."

"It's no trouble whatsoever! But I must tell you," Kim turned to look at her. "That movie...made absolutely no sense."

"What are you talking about? It made perfect sense!" Chae gave him a weird look. "You see, Dumbledore..."

"Who's Dumbledore?" Kim asked.

"The old guy."

"The chubby one?"

"No, the one that looks like the guy from Lord Of The Rings," Chae pointed out.

Kim had a blank stare. "What's that?"

"You've never heard of it?!"

"Hell no."

"You didn't even see the first Potter movie, did you?"

"That wasn't the first one?!"

Chae gawked, "NO! It came out in like, 2000!"

"Dear...God! You'll have to pardon me because I don't know what you kids are into nowadays," Kim said dismissively.

Chae felt a strong urge to beat the crap out of her sensei but decided to wait until class Monday.

The two then set out to a nearby coffee shop. Kim picked a side booth and started a conversation about random topics involving justice, triumphing over evil, and building a house out of toothpicks while Chae wearily nodded along but she soon decided to change the subject.

"Master Kim, your kids should be here with you."

"Come on now, we're having fun!" Kim sipped his coffee a little too fast, burning his mouth. "SON OF A BITCH!" he screamed.

Chae smiled nervously at the other customers before continuing, "Are there some problems at home?"

Kim leaned back in his seat and sighed. "The little maggots don't look up me! I don't know what to do," he said tiredly.

"It's actually really simple, Master Kim. Just do what you're doing with me but with your kids," Chae explained. "I know what you could do! You should..."

Like an alarm going off, Kim's eyes suddenly trailed off to look through the window where a terrible crime was being commited. Someone...is...littering! he thought.

Chae continued, oblivious to what was going on, "...and after that you can take them to..."

Kim's eyes trailed off to the window again to witness another crime underway. A...jaywalker?! Have these people no shame?!

"Once that's done, you can finish the evening off with a nice dinner at the..."

Kim looked again and saw ANOTHER terrible atrocity being commited. Taking candy...from a BABY?! That does it!"

Without warning, the Tae Kwon Do master jumped through the glass window tackling the litterer who happened to be walking by. Kim roughed the guy up with twenty punches before standing him up and taking a fighting stance.

"PHOENIX HEAVEN KICK!"

The pedestrian was kicked high enough in the air that he landed on top of the coffee shop and fell through the ceiling. All the commotion caught the attention of the jaywalker who turned around to see some dude who was litterally hovering across the street towards him like a magnet with his knee lifted up.

"PHOENIX FLATTENER!"

Kim unleashed a can of whoop ass on the guy, leaving him a crumpled heap on the sidewalk. Kim then turned and caught the gaze of the candy thief whose eyes were as wide as saucers and he let out a high pitched scream as the KOF participant came charging at him.

"SOME RANDOM MOVE I JUST MADE UP!"

Kim defied gravity itself as he somersaulted through the air several times and thrust both feet into the guy's chest which sent him through the window of a nearby pizza shop.

Chae stepped out of the coffee place with her mouth gaped open in shock as her master struck a triumphant pose with his hands on his hips. She could swear he was giving off a glow.

"That, ladies and gentlemen is why crime doesn't pay!" Kim once again showed off his glistening white teeth, blinding some woman who ended up driving into a parked car.

"Master Kim...I'm leaving," With that, Chae promptly begun walking away.

"Aw, come on! Did you want in on this? Look! The jaywalker is still conscious!" Kim said but to no avail as Chae simply waved him off. Within seconds, ten police cars surrounded the area and to Kaphwan's surprise, they weren't there for the other guys. "Uh oh..."

Later, after being bailed out of jail, Kim wearily returned home and lay sprawled out on the couch while his wife and kids stood nearby.

"I hope you're happy," the missus said.

"You can't...put a price...on justice," he exhaustingly replied. "But there is a plus to all this."

"What's that?"

"I found another student to hang out with!" Sure enough, the door bell rang. "That must be May Lee!" He said, giggling like a kid in a candy shop.

"You told me you couldn't stand her," his wife recalled. "You said she was weird."

"Shut up, woman!" Kim snapped and quickly opened the door.

"Hey Master Kim! I was surprised when you called," the superhero obssessed girl greeted. "Usually, you hurry out of the gym when I try to ask you about fighting in the next KOF."

Kim chuckled nervously. "Well, I just thought I'd find time to hang out with my...favorite student," he said, cringing at the last part.

"Really? What's my favorite superhero?" May asked.

"Huh?"

"My favorite superhero, I talk about it all the time!" May said.

"Oh that's easy, it's...uh...Superman!" Kim said in a sure tone.

May immediately frowned. "It's Kamen Rider! See, I knew this call was bullcrap!" Just like Chae, she spun around and walked off.

"WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!" Kim screamed dramatically as he fell to his knees. However, to his surprise, his kids approached him.

"Dad, we'll hang out with you," Jae Hoon offered.

"Yeah, you look kinda miserable," Dong Hwan noted.

"Fine." Kim went to grab his car keys. "As long as you two pay for everything, I don't have any money."

What else I happening around South Town?
