Hi! I'm Park Jaehwa. I'm a martial artist and I live in Seoul, Korea. I am so lucky to have a soldier dad who is a dignified man that I look up to. I have a sister and she's my opposite~ you'll know about it...
"Jaehwa! wake up! your friend is here", called my sister
"What time is it?", looking at my phone and still yawning
"Oh my gosh! I'm late!", rushing to fix up myself
"Hurry up! your friend is waiting"
I only take 5 minutes to fix myself. I didn't take long for the shower~ I rinsed my hair before I went to bed last night so I can still smell the scent of it
"We need to hurry up! what time did you sleep this time? the team is waiting", said Jesoo looking so delighted
We took a cab to the exhibition. It was a campus exhibition and we join in a dance competition. I love to dance hip-hop and I can say that I'm good at it.
"Congratulations! we got first place! I'm so proud of you everyone~ great team as always", said Mr. Kim
"Thank you teacher", said everyone.
"Hey look who's coming", Jesoo whispered.
I deliberately turn my head to the guy who's coming near us
"Congratulations", said Minjun passing a bouquet of flower
"Thank you"
*looking away*
"Ahh here! give it to me Minjun", said Jesoo while taking the bouquet from him
"Okay then, see you around", said Minjun while looking at me and turning around
I have a crush on him but only my friend Jesoo knows about it. I don't give any clue about it.. to him.
He is Kim Minjun. The heartthrob in our class.
"Hey, what was that for? You don't even put on a big smile ", said Jesoo
" What do you anticipate me to do? hug him? You know that I don't like that kind of action", I said like I don't cringe at all
"Pff! that attitude of yours! I'm not even surprised if you stay single in your whole life~ you have a crush but you don't give an action in it! Portraying so cool doesn't work! you have to do something", said Jesoo
"Aaah whatever! I'm not comfortable with guys around me either~ I got attracted but I'm not comfortable having a boyfriend"
"I don't understand you at all", said Jesoo confusingly
"Nah forget it. Let's just go home now coz I'm so tired. I still have to attend my Taekwondo Class tomorrow. Why don't you join me?", I asked
"No way! it's not my stuff. I'll just go with you if you're with a handsome guy already", said Jesoo teasingly
"Geez leave it then. Let's go now"
I go immediately to my room after taking shower. I don't understand why I can't put on attention or anything for a hint that I like Minjun in front of him~maybe it's because I'm afraid of the consequence. He's prominent in our class and I don't like to have a mess or gossip from other girls who like him. My dad is a soldier and I'm not sure about his reaction if I make a mess in my school. I've always been at the top of my class and I don't like to take a risk on something that can affect my grades.
"It's been a tiring day again~ let's sleep now Jaehwa. Thinking about those things can't get you any better so let's forget it. It'll just be trouble"
JZ~ The Nighthawk~
"Black Panther! Can you hear me?", whispered Nighthawk
"Yes, go on", said Black Panther still pointing to the target
"Wait for my signal before you pull the trigger. I'm going inside. We need to catch him no matter what!", said Nighthawk
"Copy that"
It was a sunny day in Morocco and it was really hot. I'm JZ (Nighthawk), and I'm with my partner Alex (Black Panther). We got a mission to catch Mr. Lee, a squealer inside the organization and is recently involved in different crimes
I sneak into the building and deliberately jump on the balcony from the other building. I only saw the target with two armed men. One person beside him and another in the front door.
"Nighthawk! two armed persons are coming with a briefcase", whispered Black Panther
"There must be something in it!"
"It must be that thing", said Nighthawk
I was watching them while they are in deep conversations
"Hi, I'm Mr. Lee. I'm glad that you came", said Mr. Lee extending his hand
"I'm Mr. Hong. I hope you got the item already. I brought the money", said Mr. Hong
"For sure! no worries", said Mr. Lee
They hunched down and one person opened the briefcase and so as the other side. Mr. Hong got the money and Mr. Lee revealed the small tube with a small quantity of powder in it!
"What was he planning?"
"Did you see it? It's a powder, isn't it? Looks like for explosives!", Nighthawk added
"What?! I didn't foresee this for a tremendous crime! What is he planning to do?", said Black Panther
"We only need to catch Mr. Lee and get the item~ just focus on the~.."
I was moving closer when I accidentally stepped on the curtain and its fell. Everyone looked!
"Oh, sh*t!"
Then one person commenced shooting.
"Black Panther! now!"
Black Panther shoot the armed guy and some run away with Mr. Lee
I went after them
Everyone in the building was in chaos as we chase after another
I was rushing outside... Fought with the other men behind Mr. Lee.
I was a well-trained combatant so it was susceptible for me to win against them. But when I got out~ Mr. Lee already got in the car and run away.
"Nighthawk! Are you alright? Where did he go?", asked Black Panther still snapping his whiff from galloping
"I lost him!"
"But he dropped the briefcase. I'm sure he got more of it and we need to know what was he planning to do", said Nighthawk
"I took down the others and I got Mr. Hong", said Black Panther
"Handle it then"
"I still need to prepare my ears for laters nagging", replied Nighthawk with a smirk while strolling
"Where are you going?", wailed Black Panther
"Somewhere!!"
"Somewhere??!! there you go again with that", he complained
I ceased by a hotel and took a blitz. I was thinking genuinely for a hint
"It would be a big trouble", mumbled with a sigh
I move straight to the bed and saw my phone chiming and look at it
"Wow! 10 miscalls"
"I'm sure, the old man will give a nag again. I hate his voice"
I answered the call
"Where are you? The old man needs a report!", said Black Panther in a low voice
"Yeah, I got it. I'm coming for the nagging", I said laughing
"I got a report! Mr. Lee drifted to another country for the hide", said Alex
"Where could that be?", asked JZ
"Korea", said the Executive Director
Both stand up and greet the Director.
"You two need to catch him no matter what! I don't need another mistake", said the Director while looking at JZ
"I have a soldier companion who could help you there. It would be manageable since he was also in our line. You both comprehend the Korean language so it's even better"
"Yes sir!", both answered.
"Sir, I should stay in a different place so I could easily find a whiff and move freely", said JZ
"Okay, I'll look into it. Remember to catch him but first, we need to know what he is up to. Wait for the order", said the Director
"Yes sir!"
The Executive Director left them.
"What happened yesterday? It's so unusual to see you create a mistake in the mission", said Alex
"I'm not perfect! Maybe I dozed off haha", said JZ jokingly
"Whatever dude! Anyway, let's get another code name ~ don't ever call me Black Panther again! I don't like it", said Alex
"Should I call you Hulk?", asked him teasingly
"Can't you think of better names? Nah I should just pick mine", said Alex
And both laughed.
"Hey, Jaehwa! Let's whirl for a jog", said Jesoo excitingly
"oh, sure! I think I need it coz I wear down much last night. I'm hanging up now let's meet each other later.. on the way", said Jaehwa
"okay"
It was a nice summer and it felt so nice to have jogging in the morning.
I wear a gray hoodie and bring an earphone with me.
"Good morning!", said Jesoo
"Good morning. Let's keep taking off this way", said Jaehwa
We stopped for a while after a few circles and Jesoo bought water so I crouched on a bench.
Not far from my way, a guy wearing a black jacket was running and looking around. He seems in a hurry and suddenly reached closer to where I am. He was tall with hazy eyes. He was snapping his breath and abruptly look around again. I stand up and he glanced at me. I saw a group of boys from far ~ wandering and like searching for someone
"I'm so sorry for this~", he said
I was about to ask when he suddenly kissed me on the lips. It was so warm and passionate. I can't understand why but the way he grabbed my waist and kiss me felt so nice that I wanted to kiss him back. It made me close my eyes. Later on, I felt that some people are running and looking for someone that made me back into my sense. I tried to shove him but he clasps me tight and kisses me again.
"What is going on? I can barely grasp it now! my heart is whipping so fast!", said to my mind
After some minutes, he eventually let go of me and I slapped him so hard.
"What the heck are you doing? Who are you?", I said angrily
"I'm sorry~ I have to go", said him and smiled
I was about to say more but he already hurried back scampering away. I was left stunned and abruptly holding my lips. It was my first kiss!
"Oh my gosh, Jaehwa!! I saw that! I saw that!", said Jesoo teasingly and still can see her surprised face
"Who is he? I didn't know that you were hiding something~", Jesoo assumed excitingly
"Shut up! I don't even know him!.. Let's just go home now. I don't feel good"
"Whattt?? Woah! a stranger!", said Jesoo is outraged but she still giggled in the end
I scrambled back home and went straight to my room. I don't know what is happening. I was supposed to be furious at this point but I kept on reckoning about what happened earlier.
"Oh c'mon, Jaehwa! stop thinking about it!", then I fall asleep
~Small World~
"Why are you holding your face?", asked Alex and look closely at JZ
"It hurts! it's swollen now. I didn't know that a girl can slap this hard", said JZ while plopping ice in his cheeks
"A girl? haha, Who's that girl? Why would she slap you? What did you do? And by the way, what exactly happened?", asked Alex continuously
"It's nothing. I just help someone on my way but I can't let anyone know my identity so I ran away and I was hunted by a group of boys", said JZ
"And what about the girl who slapped you?", asked Alex
I just looked at him and say no more. I can't trust him about things like this or else he would annoy me.
"Have you already reached Mr. Park?", asked JZ
"Yes, and I'll be staying there tonight. I already looked into it and he has two daughters. It would be nice to stay there", said Alex with a persuasive look
"I'm not like you so just keep up there and enjoy. Just remember that they're the former Associate Director's daughters", said JZ
"I gotta sleep for now and shut the door when you leave. Send me the address too", said JZ
"okay"
I was resting in bed when I abruptly reckoned of the girl's face. She's cute and her lips are soft. I don't understand but I feel like I smooched her with a sudden desire when I only took it to recoup me from the circumstance.
"I should just ask her name", JZ mumbled smiling
It was already late in the morning when I got up.
"Jaehwa! Dad is asking for you", said Ji Na
"Huh? why so?", I asked
"I don't know. Why don't you go down and ask? He was with a handsome guy", said Ji Na
I was puzzled. I just remedied myself and go down the stairs. I saw a dad with a man. My sister is right. He was handsome but he's not my type. I still could discern Minjun as further attractive.
"Good morning dad"
"Good morning. Come here. This is Alex. He's from America and he will stay in the Taekwondo and Martial Arts Team niche from now on", said Mr. Park
I wasn't shocked for it is not the first time that dad welcomed a new student in Martial Arts Team. I was a black belter in Taekwondo and I learned self-defense from my dad.
"Okay dad"
I glanced at Alex.
"Hi, I'm Park Jaehwa. Nice to meet you. I stayed in the Taekwondo and Martial Arts Team every Saturday and Sunday to teach new students. We could meet each other there sometimes", said Jaehwa
"Nice to meet you. I'm Alex"
"Jaehwa~ you should show him the place", said Mr. Park
"yes dad," said Jaehwa
The dorm of the Taekwondo and Martial Arts Team is just next to our house. And I have a shortcut hidden door from my room. I used it sometimes
I showed Alex the place and he talked so much. I don't prefer garrulous boys and I'm convinced that he won't be my type.
"Hey JZ! the daughters are both pretty! you should come and see them", said Alex
"Did you just call to tell me that?", said JZ and hangs up
"hah! what a killjoy", said Alex but smiled in the end
Phone rings...
"oh! I thought you're not interested? why did you call then?", asked Alex teasingly
"I'm not! I just wanna ask if where you are staying right now", said JZ
"ah that one, it's a dorm-like inside the Taekwondo and Martial Arts Team. It's near the pretty girls", said Alex giggling
"Okay, that's better. I'll visit you there tomorrow", said JZ
hanged up...
"geez this guy is.....hmm"
It was late in the afternoon when I decided to go back home from the Taekwondo and Martial Arts Team place. I was sweating after performing a new stance. I was sweating so much and it feels hot.
"I gotta get a shower", said Jaehwa
On my way home, I saw a car in front of our house and can hear my dad talking to someone.
"Dad! Mom! I'm ho~me"
I was like being struck by a flash of lightning when I saw the person whom my dad is talking to. He looks familiar~the hazy eyes...but he looks stunning in his outfit and it caught my attention this time!
"oh! you~..", both said in shock
"Do you know each other? Have you already met by chance?", Mr. Park asked in confusion
A moment of silence then...
"No, dad! he just seems familiar to me but maybe.... maybe not"
JZ just smiled...
"Is that so? hmm .. she's my second daughter~Jaehwa", said Mr. Park looking at Jaehwa and back to JZ
"This is JZ... he's also a new student. Take care of him just like Alex", said Mr. Park, and I nodded
"Hi"
"Hi"
I rush into my room and close the door. Stop for a moment~ slowly walking near the chair and sit then look in the mirror in front
"Aaah!!! oh my gosh I look like a witch!", said in shock when I suddenly notice that I look so messy after sweating so much
"I gotta go and have a shower now", said to myself
"Sir, thank you for your help. We will be careful and won't take you in trouble if we're going to do our mission", said JZ
"I understand. Your chief is my good friend and your job was also my job~ protecting people.. protecting the country. My only request was to hide your identity from my family as long as you can to make them won't feel uncomfortable with you two around", said Mr. Park
"Yes sir!", said JZ
Alex came...
"Sir!", did a Salute then JZ just grabbed him down
"Don't!", said JZ
"Ah! sorry", said Alex
and the three laugh
"I got a piece of information about Mr. Lee's place. We need to talk about it", said JZ
"Okay! let's go back to the room", said JZ
"Sir, we have to go now. Thank you for the warm welcome"
"Okay, just tell me what you need and I'll do what I can to help you out", said Mr. Park
"thank you sir!", both said in a low voice
~You're freaking me out!~
"Mr. Lee was said to be staying in a hotel. We can easily capture him now but Chief ordered us to observe him first so he can lead us to the hideout", Alex said
Suddenly noticed JZ, not in focus...
"Hey! Are you listening?... JZ!!"
"Huh?", said JZ puzzled
"What were you thinking all this time? I feel like a dumb talking and talking yet you're not listening. What's bothering you?", asked Alex
"That girl~", said JZ
"That girl~what? who's that girl? What about her?", asked Alex
"The girl who slapped me. It's her. The second daughter", said JZ smiling
"You mean... Jaehwa?", asked Alex
"Woah! that girl is so freaking hot-tempered and yeah....a strong one compared to her older sister who's a hot girl", Alex added
"You don't know what's hot is Alex", said JZ giggling
"hah! you said you're not interested huh! just look how fascinated you are now", said Alex teasingly
"Whatever!", said JZ then go directly to bed and sleep
"hmm walking out! every time!", Alex responded to JZ's act
It's Saturday morning and I woke up early. I need to go to the Taekwondo and Martial Arts Team. Then remember who and what will I'm going to see in that place later on
"I need to be careful so my dad won't notice a thing. I won't let him know how I met that guy", said to myself
I was heading to the door when I saw him doing a stretch. I saw his masculinity and he's totally hot. He's tall and handsome~he's a Moreno type
"Hi", he said
I just smile and walk. I did what I can to avoid him for the whole hours of class and so as the following days. But he kept on taking my attention by making a mess in everything he does. It seems intentional tho.
"Class is finally over again~I need to practice my self-defense more", said to myself
"Need a hand?", asked JZ
"No"
"Are you avoiding me?", asked JZ
Look at him in the face
"If you know it then why don't you cooperate?"
"About the kiss~ I'm sorry for tha~"
Then I suddenly grabbed his arm and throw him
"ouch!"
he left off-guard and now he's on the floor. I know it must be hurt but I wanna give him an act of simple revenge.
"Okay! Apology accepted", I said with a smirk
I was about to get my things and go home when I noticed him still lying on the floor and just holding his stomach. So I came back to my sense and realized what I did. I hurriedly go near him.
"Hey! Are you alright?", I asked
"No~ I think the wound just open...", he said
"What?...what wound? where?", I asked
I was so scared and shocked after seeing the blood
"Oh my gosh... I'm sorry.. what will I do now?", I said so nervous and started to cry out of worries
I decided to call an ambulance
"don't call~ just help me go back to the room and get a first aid kit for me ..will you?", he asked
I didn't ask for more clarification although I was curious. I hurriedly go and get the first aid kit and things for cleaning the wound.
He lifts his shirt and he's bleeding so much!
I helped him to clean the wound then I went back home.
