Boys Over Motorcycles Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Bitter Affection

Hwoarang and Baek are sparring in the dojo as they get ready for the new students to come in the dojo.

Baek: Hwoarang, you’re getting faster and stronger!

Hwoarang: and master, you’re getting slower… Ha sorry, no offense! *he shrugs*

Baek: I guess so… Old age hits you hard!

Hwoarang: We should keep training though because I think your kicks gotten stronger now. Perhaps stronger than mine!

Baek: We’ll stop for now! Just give me my tea…

Hwoarang: *he hands Baek his tea from the table*Are you okay master?

Baek: I’ll be fine, go welcome the new students when they come… *he drinks the tea*

Hwoarang: Sure master. I’ll wait outside…

Hwoarang goes outside of the dojo and sits on a chair and waits for the new students to arrive but have wait pretty long.

Hwoarang: Man this is boring… *he drinks his water bottle* I’m standing out here doing nothing but waiting for these “new students”…

Baek: *he is holding a laundry basket* Hello Hwoarang any students here yet?
Hwoarang: Not yet master…

Baek: Okay then. I’m going to hang up the laundry now…

Hwoarang: Okay master sure. Hmm, hey master let me do that for you…

Baek: Are you sure?

Hwoarang: Yeah I have been sitting here all day… You need to take a rest!

Baek: Well alright then, thanks! *he wipes the sweat from his forehead*

Hwoarang hangs up the laundry while Baek sits down. Then a young man comes to the front of the dojo holding a flier. Baek stares at him in confusion.

Young Man: Hey! You teach Tae Kwon Do?

Hwoarang: *he stops and looks at the young man* Huh?

Baek: Why yes would you like to learn Tae Kwon Do?

Young Man: Maybe. Just checking it out. I don't know what Tae Kwon Do is.

Baek: *he gets up from his chair* Let me give you an introduction. As a matter of fact, Tae Kwon Do is a close combat style from South-

Young Man: No need to tell me all this. Let's just fight. I'll pay you the school fees if I lose.

Baek: *he laughs* Okay but I’ll let my student fight you… *he points at Hwoarang*

Hwoarang: *he smiles*

Young Man: That laundry boy is your student? *he laughs*

Hwoarang: I’m not just any laundry boy… *he grins*

Young Man: Whatever! *he gets into his fighting pose*

Baek: *he sits down and nods at Hwoarang*

Hwoarang: *he smiles and nods back then gets into his stance* TKD, Hwoarang…

Young Man: *he smiles and throws a fake punch at Hwoarang but he doesn’t react to it*

Hwoarang is still waiting for a real attack and the young man attacks with punches and Hwoarang blocks all of them effortlessly and dodges a right hook and kicks him lightly with his foot.

Hwoarang: Well what do you think?

Young Man: *he smirks* You haven’t won yet…

Hwoarang: *he smiles and shakes his head*

The young man attacks more aggressively at Hwoarang but he counters with low kicks. The Young man gets confused and Hwoarang starts kicking him really fast but doesn’t touch him with his kicks and pushes him with his feet.

Hwoarang: *he turns around and smiles as he walks then turn back at him* Are you going to yield?

Young Man: Yield? I don’t even know what you were doing? *he returns to his fighting stance*

Hwoarang stands still and the young man charges at Hwoarang but Hwoarang throws a quick side kick to his face, making his nose bleed. The Young man seems furious about this.

Hwoarang: Do you yield now?

The Young man yells and tries to tackles Hwoarang down but Hwoarang sweeps him off his feet and does a roll and choke move on him without doing the choke.

Baek: Nice work Hwoarang…

Hwoarang: Thanks master... *he smiles and gets up*

The Young Man is ashamed of his defeat and gives Hwoarang and Baek a mean stare.

Baek: You can start paying intuition fees now.

The Young Man leaves the dojo in shamed.

Hwoarang: Hey what the hell man? You can’t just leave like that! Sorry master, perhaps I went too hard on him?

Baek: *he picks up the flier and sighs* No it’s fine, let’s call it a day…

Hwoarang: Okay master…

Baek and Hwoarang were about to leave the dojo but suddenly the same young man return to the dojo but with 3 other guys with him.

Young Man: That’s him! *points at Baek and Hwoarang*

Young Man’s Friend #1: He doesn’t look like a fighter, and if you ask me he looks more like a laundry man. He doesn’t look like he can hurt a fly…

Hwoarang: Again with this laundry man shit?

Baek: Hwoarang, I’ll handle this… If you’re not here to learn Martial Arts then please leave…

Young Man’s Friend #1: Okay, we’ll fight you then!

The Young Man’s friends began to remove their jackets before they fight.

Baek: No need to remove your jackets.

Young Man’s Friend #1: Why?

Baek: Oh well, never mind!

The Young Man’s friends tosses their jackets at him and before his friends can do anything, Baek beats all of them up without warning but didn’t hurt them too much. After he has beaten them he scoffs at them…

Hwoarang: That was awesome master!

Baek: I told you not to remove your jackets… *he turns away from them*

Young Man: *he runs to Baek and gets on his knees* Master! My name is Ren Hazuki; please accept me as your disciple! *he bows to Baek*

Hwoarang raises his eyebrow and smiles. Baek is shocked to hear about this.

Baek: *he turns back and faces him* Umm…

All three of Ren’s friends ran to Baek and in front of him and said the same thing as what Ren said earlier.

Ren’s Friend #1: My name is Akio Harasaki!

Ren’s Friend #2: My name is Taro Sawada!

Ren’s Friend #3: My name is Tetsuya Honda!

All 3 of them: *unison* Please accept us as your disciples!

Baek: Hey please no need to trouble yourselves, please get up. Pay Intuition fees first! *he smiles*

Baek starts training his first 3 disciples and telling them the basics of TKD.

Baek: Tae Kwon Do requires a lot of discipline and focus! Your main primary weapons are your legs. In order to use them you need to stretch out your legs!

Baek’s new students began stretching their legs in order to kick higher.

Baek: and this man here is Hwoarang.

Hwoarang: Sup! *he waves*

Baek: He is your Senior Disciple. You can call him your big brother. He will help you train too.

Hwoarang: So if you have any questions, ask me okay?

Hwoarang and Baek resume their training with the new students and then more students began to come to the dojo. In a few days, the dojo already has over 50 students.

Hwoarang: I’m happy master; your dream has come true.

Baek: Yes indeed. I could thank you for everything. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to be this successful.

Hwoarang: You’re welcome master, don’t forget your friend. He helped you with the dojo and the students. *he smirks*

Baek: Well I’ll be waiting for the students to come here again.

Hwoarang: If you can excuse me master. I want to go out for a while.

Baek: Okay. Just be back here after the students arrive, okay?

Hwoarang: Hey you know me! I always know what to do!

Hwoarang jumps into his motorcycle and heads to the high school to meet up with Asuka. Meanwhile Asuka is already leaving from her school.

Asuka: Another good day at school and so far no trouble! *she sighs* Perfect! A new record!

School Girl #1: Hey Asuka! What happened to that Korean guy?

Asuka: Him? Uhh I don’t know, why are you asking me?

School Girl #2: Well we were wondering if you knew him!

School Girl #3: Yeah he is so hot! Korean guys are the best!

School Girl #1: Totally agree! I would love to date him!

Asuka: *she blushes* What?! H-he isn’t hot! He is just a hothead! Just an arrogant punk!

School Girl #1: Like yourself right? You know you like him!

Asuka: I DON’T LIKE HIM! I kicked his ass remember?

School Girl #2: Sure, over a lunch that is.

Asuka: *she blushes deeper* Not just that but he almost hit me too!

School Girl #3: She is blushing girls!

Asuka: I’m. Not. Blushing. OKAY?! *she roars at the girls and the girls ran off*

Hwoarang: *appears behind her* For a girl who hates me, you sure showed it!

Asuka: *she blushes even deeper and slowly turns around and sees Hwoarang* AHH!

Hwoarang: *he grins* Hi Asuka.

Asuka: Hwoarang?

Hwoarang: Ahh so you know my name already huh? Don’t remember telling you my name…

Asuka: I don’t remember telling you my name either!

Hwoarang: I just heard the girls saying your name so that’s how I know.

Asuka: I saw your name on the lunch box you gave me a few days ago.

Hwoarang: Enjoyed it?

Asuka: Yes I did. Thank you! You sure know how to cook.

Hwoarang: You’re welcome. I tried my best.

Asuka: *she blushes more* Well you did a pretty good job.

Hwoarang:  Anyways do you miss me?

Asuka: NO! Why should I?!

Hwoarang: Because I’ve been gone for a few days already. Thought you might miss me!

Asuka: You’re crazy I don’t miss you at all!

Hwoarang: Well aren’t you happy to see me? *he smirks*

Asuka: No…

Hwoarang: …Not even a little tiny bit???

Asuka: No… *she crosses her arms and turns away from him*

Hwoarang: *he gets irritated* I see… Well anyways I have to get back to my dojo. I hope you can drop by sometimes.

Asuka: How should I know where your dojo is at?

Hwoarang: *he gives Asuka a flier* Here take this, address is right there.

Asuka: I’ll go check it out whenever I want to.

Hwoarang: Well then I’ll catch you later okay?

Asuka: What?!

Hwoarang: *he hops into his motorcycle and rides off* See ya!

Asuka: Hey wait up! Damn not again… *she blushes and smiles*

Hwoarang returns to his dojo and all the students have arrived already.

Hwoarang: Good afternoon! Sorry I’m late. Let me changed into my uniform and I’ll get back to you!

Ren: Brother Hwoarang!

Hwoarang: Hey Ren, good to see you again! How you doing?

Ren: I’m doing fine; I’m getting more flexible now!

Hwoarang: Well that’s good to know; usually it takes me a few months to get that flexible. You are sure something!

Ren: Well I took Karate before I started TKD. So yeah TKD made me even more flexible!

Hwoarang: Well that explains a lot. How you liking TKD?

Ren: It’s amazing! So much kicks! I wasn’t able to kick this high before!

Hwoarang: Good to know my brother.

Ren:  Hey brother you think you can beat 10 men all at once?

Hwoarang: Of course I can!

Ren: Wow that’s amazing!

Baek: Hwoarang, I see you’re doing well.

Hwoarang: Yeah I better begin our lessons.

Hwoarang begins teaching all the students and helps them with the kicking and punching. Ren is considered the top student right now as he is a very quick learner.

Hwoarang: Okay everyone class dismissed. You may all leave now. See you in three days!

Ren: Catch you later Brother!

Baek: I’m impressed Hwoarang, you sure know how to teach.

Hwoarang: Learned from the best TKD master.

Baek: I appreciate it!

Hwoarang: I’m gonna go out for a while.

Baek: Again?

Hwoarang: Maybe buy some groceries.

Baek: Okay then. I’ll be driving home. You take care now.

Hwoarang: Okay master! *he smiles*

Hwoarang hops into his bike again and heads to the Grocery Store to buy some food Coincidently Asuka is also going to the same Store.

Hwoarang: So what should I cook for tonight? Hmm Perhaps ramen noodles and teriyaki… *he hears a loud voice and checks to see who it is*

Asuka: *she looks in her shopping list* Hmm okay I have to buy some wonton wraps for dumplings and some ground meat and some hotdogs… I got a lot of stuff to buy!

Hwoarang: *he walks around the aisle and sees Asuka and smiles* Well what do you know!

Hwoarang sneaks up on Asuka. Asuka is oblivious to what’s going on as she is too busy shopping.

Asuka: Now I need some ramen noodles. But damn I don’t know where it’s at!

Hwoarang: You tried aisle 12?

Asuka: I think I passed that aisle, thanks sir! *she turns around and sees Hwoarang* YOU! Are you stalking me again?

Hwoarang: Relax I’m just here to do some groceries too. See? *he shows her his grocery basket*

Asuka: No, you’re following me you pervert!

Hwoarang: *he starts to get irritated* I’m not, it just happened to be a coincidence that’s all… Damn you’re so hard headed you know that? You’re always jumping into conclusions.

Asuka: You’re such an idiot! Maybe I’m just being cautious alright?

Hwoarang: You want those ramen noodles or not?

Asuka: Fine! I’ll go there now!

Hwoarang continues to follow Asuka while she goes to the aisle to find the noodles.

Asuka: *she gets irritated and turns around* Would you stop following me?!

Hwoarang: Are you going to do something about it?

Asuka: Grrr… I want to hit you so badly but you’re lucky we’re in a store!

Hwoarang: Aisle 12 is right there! *he points it*

Asuka: I know that! *she rolls her eyes at him*

Hwoarang: *he smiles* So are planning to make anything for dinner?

Asuka: Well yes, my mom just got out of the hospital so I want to make her something special.

Hwoarang: That’s good.

Asuka: AHH! There’s no more ramen noodles! Wait I may be wrong! *she looks around and tries to find some* DAMN! There is no more! Ahh I came here for nothing!

Hwoarang: Hmm, *he looks at his basket* Oh well that’s too bad… Better luck next time!

Asuka: *she looks in his basket* Hey you got the last ramen noodle! Give me that!

Hwoarang: Oh this here? *he holds the bag of noodles* Why should I give it to you?

Asuka: Because I’ll kick your ass if you don’t give it to me!

Hwoarang: No way! I need it for myself! Go get your own!

Asuka: There aren’t any left! You got the last one! Give it to me now!

Hwoarang: *he smirks* Persistent girl aren’t ya? Well come and get it!

Asuka: You asked for it! *she chases Hwoarang around the store*

Hwoarang: *he runs away from her and hides* Hehe whoa crazy girl alert!

Asuka: When I get my hands on you, you’ll be sorry!

Hwoarang: *he walks to the cash register and checks out his stuff* Here’s 1200 Yen, keep the change! *he runs off*

Clerk: *looks confused* Huh?

Asuka: *she looks around and sees that Hwoarang has left the store* That hothead! He think he can leave with the last ramen noodle? Not on my wacth!

Asuka checks out all her items and chases Hwoarang.

Asuka: GET BACK HERE!

Hwoarang: Damn does she ever quit? *he hops into his motorcycle and tries to starts his engine but couldn’t as he was panicking* Okay then time to settle this the hard way!

Hwoarang gets off of his bike and confronts Asuka. Asuka runs towards Hwoarang and glares at him.

Asuka: *she points at Hwoarang* You have the last ramen noodle! I demand you to give it to me

Hwoarang: If you want it then come and get it!

Asuka: *she walks towards Hwoarang and tries to grab the noodle but he moves away from her* Give it to me now!

Hwoarang: Why? You always treat me like crap!

Asuka: Huh?

Hwoarang: I don’t have to give it to you! I made you lunch and at the school you treated me like crap! Talking a lot of shit about me too!

Asuka: *she looks down* I didn’t mean it…

Hwoarang: You know what, if you really want this then take it! I don’t need this anymore… *he tosses the ramen noodle at her*

Asuka: *she catches it* Oh…

Hwoarang: *he scoffs* Umm thank you?

Asuka: Oh thanks… *she blushes*

Hwoarang: Hmp… *he rolls his eyes then hops into his bike and rides off *

Asuka: Geez, I guess I have been treating him like crap lately… To tell you the truth, I just don’t want to express how I really feel, maybe that’s just me…
