Master Shifu

"We're here" said Harin

"This is it?" I asked as I scrunch my nose at the empty area with only one street light, "I don't see anybody. I guess we gotta go home. T'was a fun night" I said ready to call another taxi for ours had just left.

"It's called an underground rap event Atalia why would it above ground" she said matter of factory rolling her eyes.

"oh so you actually meant underground oh I see" I said bashfully

"Sigh sometimes I wonder how you are at the top of the class" she said shaking her head and pinching her nose bridge.

"Come on" she said pulling my hands as she ran into the darkness.

"Harin I don't believe I have ever offended you in our 4 years of friendship this much for you to kill me and leave me on the streets like this. I have a stuff monkey at home waiting for me" I sobbed wiping away my fake tears.

"Oh hush you big dummy," we made our way through the darkness until we saw the light, "You hear that?"

I did hear it. Huh guess she wasn't ready to kill me. Stepping into the light I saw that it was a small crowded room that seemed to be like an old parking lot filled with college students who are either high or drunk, heck maybe both.

"Come on" said Harin as she pulled me towards a circle of people through sweaty young adults grinding on each other where in the center was a seemingly  6 foot flat man wearing a gold chain, gold knuckle rings and a cap over his bandana. He was pale under the lights of the room an had eyeliner beneath his eyes to look more fierce. He only looked cute to me like a hot tempered kitten.

"That's Shiwoo" whispered Harin my ear as she saw where my gaze my fixed.

"That's him?" I asked in disbelief scoffing at the not so player looking skinny boy in front of me.

"He doesn't look like a player. Cute as a kitten yes but far from a player" I laughed.

He must have heard what I said for he walked over to us after he had finished battling a guy whom I heard people calling Minseok. Their raps were pretty good Ill give them that although I'm not that into hip hop.

"Hi the name's Shiwoo but you can called me yours for short" he said flashing his cute gummy smile adorned with pearly whites. Was that supposed to make me blush? Pft. Gotta try harder than that kitten.

"And I'm first name not last name interested" I said walking away.

"She's got an attitude. I like that" he said flashing yet another boyish smile as he held onto my hand restricting my next move.

"Listen Shifu "

"Its Shiwoo" he corrected in between my sentence seeming annoyed

"Whatever," with sass dripping from the tip of my tongue like venom I said, "I've heard a great deal about you and I want you to know from now that I'm not about that. I'm not some groupie who is into one night stands so if you would be so kind as to let my hand go thank you."

Amused by my speech he had the audacity to smirk while looking me up and down, "darling no body said you were a groupie. Although you are dressed the part."

I suddenly felt a shiver ran up my spine from his intense stare and I felt hot all over as he leaned his head to the side and licked his lips. My blood boiled from realizing what my body was doing and I felt the sudden urge to slap him right across the face.

"Say you didn't tell me your real name. How about you tell me all about your self on the way to my place" he said suggestively sending a wink and panty melting smile my way.

"Ye-NO" I said catching myself from almost slipping. I straightened up my stance getting ready to say a comeback but luckily Harin came to my rescue for who knows what I would have done or said while being under his fuckboy spell. I'm going to kill her for not coming sooner and kill myself for slipping.

"Atalia it's time for us to go home. You have school on Monday. Lots of assignments to do." She said while shooting daggers at Shiwoo who seemed oblivious to her hatred for he only set his eyes on me.

His lack of interest seemed to annoy Harin and for a moment I saw a flash of hurt in her eyes but before I could say something she pulled me towards the exit. Shiwoo followed suit and I could feel his eyes boring holes through me. I involuntarily shivered and he noticed. I thank God that I was brown skinned for in that moment I was blushing like a school girl. Ironic isn't it?

"Atalia" he said softly more to him self than me.

My name rolling off his tongue sent a jolt of electricity between my legs. I clenched my thighs to soothe the feeling which he noticed for he began to smirk.

Finally deciding to leave me alone he walked away, "Ill see you soon Atalia?"

It sounded more like a promise than a question.

I absentmindedly watched him as he retreated in the crowd and I am pretty sure I was smiling.

"Tally! Tally!" exclaimed Harin

"Whaaaattt?" I asked.

She looked at me eyes filled with disbelief, "Oh my God don't tell me you fell for him?"

"What? No no no. Never!" I confirmed offendedly although I was far from offended. She didn't need to know that.

Not believing anything I said , "Don't lie to me I know you too well"

"Harinssi." I addressed her although she was older than me.

"Trust me I was just playing along. I'm not that easy trust me" I said holding her hands.

"Oh okay. I just don't want to see you get hurt" she said pulling me in for a hug.

"I won't" I reassured her while patting her on the back.

"I won't I" repeated softly to remind myself why I hated Shiwoo.

Pulling away from the hug to look me in the eyes she begged, "I just. I just don't want to see you get hurt so promise me you will stay far away."

"I will" I lied already coming up with a way how to convince her to take me back here next week. I don't know why my brain was behaving like this. I must be extremely cold to the point where my common sense has frozen. Ill be better in the morning.

"Now let's go home. This death trap of a bra is killing me" I said trying to lighten the mood

"Oh Tally. What am I going to do with you?" She asked sighing.

"Oh I don't know maybe love me and feed me" I said in a baby voice acting cute.

She chuckled and shook her head as she called a taxi to take us home.
