Yakusoku von KateBlack (YoochunxOC) ================================================================================ Prolog: Begin ------------- Title: Untitled Genre: ... Comedy? Length: OneShot / 3650 words Warning: SELF Insert, un-beta-ed, might be edited more If you are by any chance really a JUST English speaker and don't get the German used in here- mail me and I translate the parts in question for you. A/N: Original, the story/ part which will be the 3rd one... was the first. I intended to let that story be a OneShot dedicated to my friend and DBSK SoulMate- however I got some ideas what could have happened BEFORE. So here we go! You now come to enjoy the 1 part of a series of 3 stories. The 2nd is not in work yet, but I got plans (and currently it looks like it wouldn't take me thaaa~at long to write it). Still, I'd like to concentrate on my other stories and projects first, before I write the 2nd part of this- that will probably take me a month or something. Summary: Stumbeling over some pair of legs can cause meeting quite interesting people... "Wasn't it a good idea to go here, was it?" Ramona asked her dear friend Caro while lying beside the latter on a soft towel on the beautiful beach. "Haha, yeah it was. Good to have you with me, without you, I wouldn't know what to do in Tokyo" Caro answered dramatically and gave Ramona a light punch to her upper arm. Ramona throw a look over to her dark friend, who currently enjoyed the sun besides her with sunglasses covering her eyes, making it hard for her to make out, if she closed them or not. "Just kidding", came the immediate reply from Caro to that look. Now, she glanced to he blonde friend. "Of course I'm grateful. Honestly, I wouldn't have known that these places even exist here." They both lay at the beach of Enoshima early September, where most of the stands were already closed and business finished, now when the school started again. Although it was still hot summer, the beach was vacant of many visitors. The wide Pacific Ocean lay ahead from them where one can see windsurfers and jet skies chasing each other. No music was blasting out of the speakers, like it would have one, two weeks before and the two of them enjoyed the sound of the sea and the waves rolling softly on the beach. Silence fell over the two of them again and with the lulling of the sea and the warmth from the sun, both drifted of to a light sleep, which wasn't even disturbed by the laughter that came closer and closer... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "What is green and running through the forest?" "Uh... a frog?" "No! A pack of cucumbers!" "What?" "You can't be serious.." "Gosh..." "And guess now, what was the joke?" "There was no joke!" "Cucumbers are no pack animals, haha!" "Honestly Junsu, you should work on your jokes!" "Hey, that one was funny!" "No, it was not!" came it as a union from 4 mouths. "You all just don't have a sense of humor! That's it!" "Oh, Su... should I delight you with one of my jokes?" "Hu? What is it?" "What is cute, has a big bottom and is waddling over the beach?" "A duck?" "No, a dolphin Su!" "AH, you will pay for that one!" "Haha, only if you catch me!" "You not as fast as you think!" "Su, Chunnie, watch out!" +_+_~_~_~_~ The light slumber of the two friends was interrupted when out of the blue someone tripped over Caros legs and fell over, nearly crushing her whole body with his weight. Ramona luckily lay above Caro, their towels forming a T, and know watched with big eyes, what was stranded there on display for her to see. A group of four young men stood around them, trying not too laugh and apologizing in broken English, a fifth laid with his chest first in the sand, his legs still entangled with Caro's. Shocked, the handsome looking young man tried to sit up, however a little bit clumsy and also started to apologize in English, far better than the other four. Nevertheless Ramona couldn't stop herself from smiling a little bit, piting the young Asian man. The young man had brown,curly shoulder length long hair and a rather handsome face. Her friend Caro hasn't said a word yet, but she could feel that she was just trying to slow down her thoughts, so she wouldn't shout the first words that came into her mind like "You idiot!" because really, the fall onto her legs hurt a bit. "Are you ok?" guys asked again concerned. "Ah, yeah, I think so..." Caro pulled her legs to her body to inspect them but couldn't find any injuries. "Looks fine to me, nothing happened. Just look out the next time you decide to run without looking, ok?" Now Ramona knew that Caro was quite annoyed with the disturbance of their until now relaxing time alone and, well, about such a stupid thing. Despite everything she wanted to encourage the poor guy, especially when she saw his reaction to her friend's harsh words. These rather cool said words let the culprit pale a little bit, unfamiliar with such a treating, however he easily found his charm back and tried again. "How about I treat you and your friend to a drink?" This sentence came out of the blue for all six of them; the two women because there weren't used to such a bold behavior from Asian men and the remaining four because they just met these girls, didn't know anything about them. Maybe in reality they were some crazy fan girls? Uncertain Caro looked over to her blonde friend. "Was denkst du?" she asked her in German. Ramona's eyes were gleaming with mischievous. "Nun, einmal gesagt, kann man es nicht zurücknehmen. Lass es uns mal versuchen, mal sehen was dabei raus kommt und schlecht sehen die auch nicht aus..." Was her witty answer. Now Caro couldn't hide her smile too and let her gaze wander back to the five guys, who know also discussed in a language that definitely wasn't Japanese. Three out of the five seemed to be troubled with the sitting man, the fifth standing close by, listening to their argument however his eyes rested on the two foreign girls. Finally the men were coming to an agreement, because their talking stopped and their attention was on the girls. "Well, why not?" Were Caro's chosen words to disturb the silence. Her good mood was back again. The whole thing was like a game, to see when the guys would shy away from her and her crazy friend. It would be really interesting to see, how these fine Asian men will react, when they see the true face of her friend and her, because they were anything... but normal. The two women packed in their towels and put on skirts and tops above their bikini, the perfect outfit for either just strolling around or to throw themselves immediately into night life. When they were finished, the looked expectantly at the five guys. They however just blinked at them. "Are we going or not?" the tall blonde asked them after a moment of awkwardness. "Yeah of course!" the handsome, tanned and tall guy answered. But whom was she kidding? Caro glanced at all five faces, studying them for a short moment from head to toes before inspecting the next one. All of them had their own definition of handsome. "So, what are your names?" Caro asked finally. The five male looked at each other, unsure of how to answer. Should they tell them their real names, stage names, and when, which ones, the Korean or Japanese ones? The task was lifted from them when their oldest and band umma started with "My name is Hero." One after the other they introduced themselves. "I' am Xiah, nice to meet you!" "Just call me Max" "And I", spoke the man who tripped over her feet with a charming smile gracing again his lips, "am Micky." "Nice to meet you, my name is U.know." Ramona had to look the other way and to cover her mouth with her hand. She had been living in Japan for a while now and encountered many bizarre and strange things... but never Asian with these kind of strange names! Quick she tried to return to her normal self but she also saw the tugging at her friends lips who also couldn't believe in these unusual names. Maybe they were lying to them? Whatever it was, it definitely wouldn't become boring with these 5 ikimen. "And with whom do we have the pleasure?" Micky asked. "Well, I am Caro and this is my friend Ramona", Caro introduced. Meanwhile, they were walking along the beach on the paved way further away from the sea. U-know, who gave away a feeling of authority and guidance, took a look around every 20 seconds or something, as if in search of somebody... or something. This caused Ramona to quirking an eyebrow. "Everything alright, U.know?" Feeling caught, U-know smiled a little bit embarrassed it 10 million won smile. "No, why?" "Well, you give one the impression as if you are looking out for something, always looking around and such." "Haha, well..." U know tried to think fast. "I just never have been here and so I am looking around." Not really satisfied with this answer but not knowing how to indulge ? further questioning, Ramona returned to the previous conservation. U-know sighed in relief. He couldn't really have told her, that he was looking for any people who might recognize them and were stalking them. That would be the last thing they could need now. "Where are you from", the handsome tall man asked, to them now known as Max. "We are both from Germany", Ramona answered truthfully. Some of them formed an impressed 'O' when they never met German before. "What about you?" she asked curiously. Seeing as these two girls weren't familiar with their names and faces, the five male had silently agreed by glances that they'd stick to the truth- well, as far as possible. "We are from Korea", Micky answered. "Oh, really? Korea is one of the countries I always wanted to travel to beside Japan", Caro admitted truthfully. "Really?" Hero replied. Caro's answer caught all their attention. Suddenly, everyone talked at once. "You really should come." - "It's a beautiful country!" - "Did you ever try Kimchi?" - "Should I teach you some words?" Ramona, again, felt herself smiling. No, this evening wouldn't be in the least boring... and if it went on like this, she soon would have a grinning cramp. Caro on the other hand found herself in the difficult situation to answer every question, hardly remembering who asked which question. "... And no, I haven't tried kimchi yet, but I heard it's really spicy." "Well, Korean food in general is spicier than Japanese for example", Xiah explained. "Hyung, I could have said that myself!" Max argued. His answer was just a raised brow. Rambling, Max kept from arguing further with the dolphin boy. Caro and Ramona were really amused by the whole scene, even when they didn't understand the 'Hyung' term. Finally, Micky found a small bar that looked comfortable but not to crowded and suited perfectly their style. Being the gentleman he was, he let the girls stepping forward also as a precaution. After all, they didn't want to be detected by any kinds of fans. The waiter would ask the girls how many they were and the five of them could try to avoid being spotted by the waiter who might knew them. This action went unnoticed by the two female and without further problems, the seven young adults were led to a slightly secluded part of the tiny bar. Taking there seats, Caro and Ramona of course sticked together. Right next to Caro, Micky took place, followed by Hero. On Ramonas left side Uknow and Xiah settled, leaving Max to seat between the latter and Hero. "So... what do 5 guys together do here in Japan?" Ramona began to wonder and asked the question out loud. An awkward silence settled between all 7 of them, because none of the boys knew how to answer. After all, this was a slightly difficult question. But common sense knows, that staying close to the truth is always better and almost not like a lie itself. "We have work to do here", Micky answered finally. "Oh, really? All five of you work in the same company? What do you do?" Caro asked, looking straight in Micky's eyes. The latter couldn't stand the intense look, and turned his gaze to his oldest hyung, searching for help. "Ah, yeah, we do. Our job is to entertain people by... creating a program for them." Hero answered truthfully. "That must be a lot of fun", Caro exclaimed energetic, looking again straight at Micky after letting her glance travel over the others faces. Mickey returned the smile and nodded confirming. The evening passed by quickly and all seven of them enjoyed the presence of each other by chatting and laughing happily together. Ramona and Uknow figured out that they had quite some things in common in regards of the attitudes and habits whereas Hero interested asked questions about popular German food and their preparation with Max half heartily listening too because the later hoped to broaden his knowledge in this criteria- food. That wasn't as easily as one would think because in Max Caro finally found somebody intellectual enough to keep talking to, a similar mind as her's so to speak. Junsu butted in wherever he seemed it to be fitting, trying to listen and participate in both talks. Last but not least left Micky, who most of the time stayed quiet and occasionally added something to the conversation. More often he was caught staring at Caro BY Caro. The later couldn't decide if she found his action either creepy or cute, because whenever Micky was caught he would smile his toothpaste smile and have this coy look in his eyes. Being not a person to judge people right away Caro tried to cast away those thoughts and to concentrate at the talk ahead with Max, which was in particular the system of entering universities in Korea. When Uknow excused himself going to the toilet, Ramona did take a short glance to her watch the first time since starting talking which caused her eyes to almost bulge out. “Oh my, Caro! Do you know what time it is!?” Ramona called out, a desperate tone evident in her voice. Clueless Caro regarded her with a questioning look, mirrored by four more sets of eyes. “It's already 0:20...” Still, Caro didn't bat an eye at her friend. What was the point? Some couple of minutes after midnight didn't really deserve this kind of outburst. They had already been out longer. So what was the fuss about all this? Her face stayed indifferent as ever. Exasperated Ramona stated her reason for reacting this kind of way. “Our last train left at 23:53.” Now, this left quite an impact on Caro. “Oh...” was all she was able to say. “Right, 'oh' fits pretty good” Ramona replied rather angry. In her mind she already thought about the different possibilities they had left. A taxi was out of question. First of all they cost a fortune (especially at night), even for short distances and secondly even with the train the needed at least one and a half hour- meaning not it wasn't such a short distance at all. Maybe the Mc Donalds close to the station had open for 24h straight. The could snatch some coffees over the hours and take the first train available... “There are no more trains driving now?” Micky asked questioning. “You never ride with the train, hu?” Caro remarked and looked unbelieving in his eyes. She just remembered when her friend once told her, that trains in Tokyo in general just operate at the best until shortly after midnight. Forgetting this kind of information was a really foolish thing to do. Her gaze immediately turned back to her friend knowing to well what kind of thoughts were running right at this moment through her head. “Ramona, beruhig dich, wir kriegen das schon wieder hin”, Caro tried to calm down her friend in German. In her head, she already at one, two options prepared. “Wie soll ich mich denn bitte beruhigen? Ich habe keinen Bock die Nacht hier durch zu machen, wie nett auch gerade die Gesellschaft ist, aber manche Leuten müssen morgen früh raus!” Caro was about to reply something with a glance to her new Korean friends when Ramona spoke again. “Und denk erst gar nicht daran mit denen irgendwo in ein Hotel ,Club oder sonst was zu gehen!” Ramona thought to know her friend good enough. “Hey, dass wollte ich gar nicht sagen!” Caro answered indignantly. Ramona sized her up and tried to believe her for the better now. Nevertheless Caro asked the handsome guys surrounding her how they'd return home if they obviously wouldn't take a train. Just in that moment Uknow returned, hearing the question and holding a set of keys in front of her eyes, with one of them having an Audi brand symbol on it. That figures, Ramona thought and let out an audible sigh. “Well, I guess we are in for a night at Mc Donalds”, Ramona groaned and winced slightly at the thought. At a loss, Uknow looked around confused. Hero hurried up to explain the situation with the two girls pouting when they thought about the options left. “Well, I guess it can't be helped but you will have to take a cab, after all there's no way we let you stay in a Mc Donalds for the better part of the night... Whereas I also believe that the one here closes at 2 in the morning, when I remember correctly from what I saw this afternoon.” Uknow tried to explain. A curse escaped Ramona lips while rolling her eyes in the same moment. Was this guy really this thick headed or simply extremely rich? “Just for your information, we are students and not some rich brats”, Ramona spat a bit annoyed. The whole situation was really unnerving her. She didn't like to be out of control and the uncertainty of not knowing where she would spend the next couple of hours and how she would not be late for class the next day (WITH all her papers and notebook), where in reality next day was already today. Great. Simply fantastic. Disapproving Caro glanced at her friend due to the harsh words because all in all Uknow really had just tried to be friendly- even if this didn't help them the slightest. Apologetic she looked at Uknow just to notice a smile on the latter's lips- apparently he was rather entertained but her friends bitchiness instead of being angry. “Well, than I just have to treat you.” This sentence caused Uknow to have the undivided attention of the six people around him. “Are you freaking serious?” Caro chirped. Ramona's mouth just hung open. “All in all there's no other option left, right?” “Do you know how much that will cost you?” Ramona finally overcame her speechlessness, despite still thinking she heard wrong. “But in the end it was our fault, that you are now here and not at home”, Junsu intervened. “Or to be more specific it is Micky's fault”, Max voiced with a smile. Micky just rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at the youngest. “Well, it that's really your offer than we can't say no!” Caro exclaimed. Unbelieving Ramona just followed the talk. “Than it's settled” Hero already stood up and went to the bar to the bartender to call a cab for them. Returning he announced that the vehicle most likely would be here in less than 5 minutes, coming from the nearby station. With the soon approaching departure the girls decided to at least pay all their groups drinks as a 'thank you', however Micky wouldn't have that. “I told you in the beginning I'd treat you and I keep my word.” Helplessly Ramona watched how the man went to pay their drinks. She didn't like to owe people and tonight she knew she would own them a lot- almost strangers and still they acted like they had known them forever by providing them a save trip home, without wanting anything in return. “Now then you guys have to come over at least once so we can repay you with a dinner or something”, Ramona announced, not knowing how to solve the situation any better. Max and Hero eagerly nodded their heads, already looking forward to that evening. What kind of food would be prepared for them? Max already begun dreaming, when he was jerked back to reality. The group got outside when Caro suddenly proclaimed that they still haven't exchanged any contact information. This kind of state was changed quickly when everybody swapped mobile numbers with each other. Just when Micky scribbled down the last numbers of his number, the black cab arrived in front of the café. Micky was about to ask Caro for their address so he could tell and talk to the driver when Ramona already talked to the driver- in almost perfect Japanese. Dumbfounded five pairs of eyes regarded the blond German. Just when she finished explaining to the old driver she turned around to see their glances. “日本語　を　話します　か。” Hero asked, recovering at first from his stare. „はい　そう　です.“ Ramona just as easily replied, astonished just the same. Expectantly they looked at Caro who confirmed the question too. A collective groan escaped all five male. All evening long they tortured themselves with English when the would have been able to speak Japanese the whole time! „You all speak Japanese too?“ Caro asked with a slight accent. By all means she hasn't been as long in the country as Ramona so she wasn't as perfect yet. Now, this got everybody to laugh again. With a short farewell, where the girls received hugs from all the guys and promises of a soon reunion the girls entered the taxi. Waving them until they weren't to see the guys any longer in the dark, the two girls rested comfortable against each others shoulder, being exhausted from today's events. „This was one kind of a day“ Ramona summed up perfectly. Caro just nodded confirming when she put her head onto her taller friends shoulder and let her eyes drift shut. Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
