At Home

Hwoarang managed to sneak pass Master Beak, he didn't want him to know what going on, (or scold him for just riding off when he was still talking), Hwoarang quickly made it to his room, after hiding the bike where he believed Master Beak wouldn't find it, (close to the broken grill that Master Beak never got around to fixing), As he was treating his wounds he heard footsteps coming to his room and he quickly hid all the bandages and ointments under his bed as he sat on them and pretended to be thinking...

"Hwoarang!"

"Yes Master?"

"You're back so soon?"

"Yes Master"

"I thought you'd still be outside showing of your bike, you didn't like it?" he asked while coming closer to Hwoarang, whose body was aching really bad

"I loved it Master, it was Amazing! And thanks again for buying it for me!" he said trying to reassure him, not to come any close

"Well good, because it cost a lot Ang, so if you don't like it, I would love to return it and get a refund" he said feeling better making Hwoarang relax, until...

"But I never got the chance to see you ride it, come on show me" he said smiling at Hwoarang who just felt a huge lump in his throat

"Oh I would master, but I'm not feeling well right now, maybe some other time" he said quickly coming up with a quick lie

"Oh then I guess I'll have to call your friends and tell them that you won't be making it" he said feeling sad for Hwoarang whose eye snapped wide open

"Oh shit I'm supposed to be getting ready for the mall; I can't miss seeing Julia try something hot! Oh and tell Jin, Kazuya's back" he thought, He couldn't miss this special occasion and to also tell Jin about Kazuya, so he had to think of something fast

"No Master I'll go" he said almost quickly

"But what about..."

"Don't worry master I'll be fine" he said trying to get up with the pain hurting even more than usual, he looked at the time and saw that it was 11:45, still enough time

"Well then I guess I will be able to see you ride the bike" he replied happily while Hwoarang was feeling light headed from the pain, he felt like he was about to vomit

"You can't! I get shy and loos focus" he quickly said

"Hwoarang, I trained you since you where a little boy, I've watched you practise countless of time" he said insisting on watching

"Why Me!" Hwoarang thought

"Master please just tomorrow, I promise you can see it, just tomorrow" he begged trying to end this conversation

"But..."

"Master Please" Hwoarang insisted

"Fine" he conceded knowing Hwoarang was a stubborn person

"Tomorrow then" he said before leaving his room to go downstairs

"Thank you God" he said before bringing out his bandage and ointment, relieved that none of the liquids spilled on his bed, and soon he treated all his wounds and covered them in his Black leather jacket and Blue skinny jeans with converse snickers to hide everything, for his face that had a few bruises and a swollen lip he had to just settle for a hat, so he wore a baseball cap his Master bought him when they travelled to the united states,

"This'll have to do" he though as he got out of his room and got on the bike and rode off to the mall.

At the mall

"Where is Hwoarang" asked Ling anxious to get inside, she wanted them all to enter together

"I'm sure he'll be here" said Steve patiently

"Well I've got plenty of things that I could be doing than waiting for the Korean" Jin said totally frustrated of waiting, he was a man of little patience

"Jin relax, I'm sure it's just traffic he'll be here soon" said Julia trying to call Hwoarang, but not needing to as someone grabbed her shoulder scaring her a bit, but she knew who it was just from the feel and smell of cologne

"You missed me?" the figure asked

"You wish Ang" she said rolling her eyes to look at him but was surprised at was he wore, normally Hwoarang was the typed to dress as freely as possible, not too many baggage, now he had on plenty of clothes on, little skin showing

"Hwoarang, late as usual I see" said Jin scolding him

"Jin, still a nube I see" he retorted not in the mood for his bullshit, because of him Kazuya destroyed his brand new bike, and gave him all his injuries and now Jin wanted to scold him? Oh Hell No!

"Guys let's go in" said Ling anxious to get things started, while Hwoarang was looking for a way to tell Jin what happened without looking suspicious to the others

"Wait, Ang why did you dress like that?" asked Julia wanting to know

"Because it's what's hot right now Jules, cowboy boots, pants and vests where so over since the 1800's" he said making Julia confused

"He is right Julia" said Christie trying to hint on her outfit

"Hwoarang" she said not buying it

"Julia" he repeated in the same tone

"Tell me the truth" she said folding her arms

"Why, we're not married, I can lie to you and not feel shit for it" he said walking past her, until she held his arm stopping him, unfortunately for him that was his bad arm that had serious bruises on it

Hwoarang winced hard and held back the scream that was on the tip of his tongue, trying to remain cool, but Julia's firm hold wasn't helping one bit,

"Hwoarang, I want to know and I want to know now" she said looking him straight in the eye, even thought he was looking away to hide his face, her grip on Hwoarang's arm was getting worse and every time he felt a sharp pain, his right eye would slant down a little bit from reflex

"What's wrong with your eye?" she asked him getting closer to him till she saw the swollen lip

"Oh my God Hwoarang what happened to you?" she asked while grasping his face in her hands unaware that his right cheek was scraped really bad, Hwoarang quickly mover back from her hands while she just came closer, then he quickly thought of an idea;

"Some Nube who was in training slammed into my bike and I fell off the road" he said looking calm like it was not a big deal

"And you still came here, you could have sat this one out" she said looking at him hard for more bruises

"And miss seeing you, dress in something sexy? Hell no" he said smirking making Julia role her eyes while blushing a bit

"Sweet Spirits Hwoarang, for once think with your head, not your manhood" she said scolding him

"How can I tell the difference?" he Jokes getting a glare from Julia shutting him up

"Come on, we're getting you home" she said holding his arm to take him away

"I'm okay Jules it's just my face" he said reassuringly

"Then what about the rest of your body" she asked

"I dressed like this because, it goes so well with my brand new bike" he said stupidly

"You have a bike?" asked Christie

"Just got one, Master Beak got it for me, the big lug" he said trying to change the subject but Julia wasn't falling for it that easy

"Can we see it?" asked Steve eager to see the bike

"Sure"

"We're not going anywhere until I'm certain Hwoarang is okay" she said

"Jules, I'm okay I don't need you to baby sit me" he said aggravated

"So if I punched you right now, it wouldn't hurt?" she asked raising her eyebrow

"Sure" he said while deep down, he had never felt so horrified

"Okay then Steve, punch Hwoarang" she said while smirking as Steve got closer to him while cracking his boxing knuckle

"Oh God know!" he thought bracing himself for the pain as Steve happily obliged and gave Hwoarang a right hook to the jaw

"OWWW!, She meant my body you Asshole!" Hwoarang screamed viscously while the others laughed hard

"I know" he smiled while Hwoarang lunged at him but was stopped by Julia

"Steve that was mean apologise" she said trying to hide her smile

"Sorry Lad, my bad" he said laughing hard

"Fine Hwoarang, we'll leave you alone, let's get this shopping started, then after we can come see your bike" she said feeling that Hwoarang had had enough pain for the day

"Thank you" he said while walking into the mall "Watch your back Fox, watch your back" he thought menacingly waiting to strike the blond bitch back (and no, not Lilly)
