Chapter 29

//The Magic Of Memories//

It was the next day that Jin was talking to Angel. "Angel...," he said, "I never let you go for you to be with Dong Wook. I thought Minwoo and you would be together. That was my only reason to let you go, to let all my feelings for you disappeared." Angel looked away.

"Have you ever consider him letting me go?" she asked.

"Well...no," Jin admitted.

"Jin, everything happen for a reason. In Minwoo, I found my pride. In Dong Wook, I found my soul mate. It's time I move on," Angel said.

Jin nodded. "I understand...," he said. Then quietly, he asked, "And in me?"

Angel smile as she stared at Jin. "In you, Jin, I found an everlasting friendship."

-----

It was a couple of days later that Shinhwa, Kimmi, Angel, and Dong Wook all decided to take a cruise. They all boarded the ship. The wind was blowing gently and Angel could smell the salty ocean, the fresh new beginning.

When they finished packing, Angel stood on the bow, watching the ship move on the water. Dong Wook appeared. Everyone else was drinking and laughing but Angel rather prefer the quietness.

Dong Wook put his arms across Angel's waist. "What are you thinking?" he asked.

"My life," Angel said. "Just...everything that had happen."

"Angel...how did you know who you love?" Dong Wook asked.

Angel smile. "Simple, you told me that if we stared at the moon, the face of our love would appeared. I stared at the moon...your face immediately appeared. That's how I knew I love you."

Dong Wook smile. "Dong Wook!" someone shouted. "Come on! We're playing poker!"

Dong Wook turned to them then to Angel. "You can go," Angel said.

"You sure?"

Angel nodded. Dong Wook left to play poker. Angel watched as the ship move gently across the water. As she watched, memories of Minwoo enter her mind.

-Flashback-

Minwoo crawl over to the figure. He stared at her as she slept peacefully. He was amuse by her face and stared. Then her eyes pop opened at him.

"Holy crap!!" cried Minwoo as he pulled away. The opening eyes of the girl had caught him by surprise and he jumped back, hitting his behind on the ground hard. Angel, who was the girl, saw that there were six guys in her bedroom, checking through her stuff.

"OMG!! ROBBER!!" she cried. She sat up to go but Minwoo instantly jumped and pinned her down. "AAHH!!" cried Angel. Minwoo pinned both her arms down and went close to her, as if he was going to raped her. His friends didn't bother much and they all went their own way.

Dongwan had went to use the bathroom. JunJin was checking through Angel's bras and thongs while Eric was looking into the master's bedroom. Andy and Hyesung had disappeared into the kitchen for some food. Their stomach was growling.

Minwoo's face came close to Angel. "If you fucken scream...I'm gonna rape you!" he threatened and Angel was frighten. Never before was such a threat was bring upon her. She was threaten many times before, but none had actually intend to be real. This...this could get real.

Minwoo cover Angel's mouth his his hand and looked around. Angel struggle to escape but Minwoo wouldn't let her. Andy and Hyesung came in and the three tied Angel up and wrapped a white handkerchief around her mouth. They were, of course, wearing mask so Angel didn't know who they were.

Angel looked up as Minwoo barged into the basement. Fear swam in her eyes. Minwoo walked over to her. He grabbed her by her arm and pulled her up. Angel frightfully stared at him, her eyes widening. "I'm not gonna hurt you, you dumb ass..," said Minwoo. "Goodness! You don't have to die!"

He dragged her to his bedroom. "Wh-where are you taking me?" asked Angel. Minwoo ignore her and continued pulling her. He opened his bedroom door and throw her into it and onto the bed. "AH!" cried Angel.

Minwoo rolled his eyes. "Don't worry...I'm not a rapist. The one that will certaintly rape you is Jin...not me. Just stay in here and keep your mouth shut, alright? And if you try to get out, don't worry. There's an electric fence all around the house so...you rather die from electric shot or just stay your puny ass in here..." With that, Minwoo close the door and walked off.

"Why me!?" Angel cried out. "How come this have to happen to me!! I was living a good life and all of a sudden THIS happen!? NO!!! Why me!?"

The door open again and Minwoo appeared. "You mind shutting up?" he asked so Angel shut her mouth. Then he reappeared after a while with a bowl and a handkerchief. In the bowl was some clear clean water. "Here...wash yourself. You look horrible..."

"Well...now we know that she's a hottie..," said JunJin. "Can I holla?"

"NO!!" said Minwoo. "Jin, you are NOT going near her!"

"FINE!" said JunJin and he stomped off.

"Go away you guys!!" said Minwoo as he noticed Angel was getting uncomfortable with five guys staring at her, since JunJin had stomped off. The four went except for Minwoo. He turned back to get another look at Angel. Indeed, her beauty was natural and true. Angel stared into Minwoo's eyes and a blush of scarlet ran across his cheek. Then he quickly walked off and close the door behind him.

Minwoo was taking a shower. He washed his body in the pouring water. When he was finish, he put on only his shorts and came out, wiping his hair with a towel. He enter his bedroom and Angel looked up. She saw his body. Her eyes widen.

"Woah!" cried Minwoo. Angel cover her face with her hand. Minwoo seemed amuse by her reaction and rolled his eyes. He walked over to her and grasp her hand then pulled it away. "Look at it more, Missy cause it's a one chance in a life time!!"

"AAHHH!!" Angel screamed as she cover her eyes again and Minwoo laughed. But then the door bursted opened and the others appeared.

"OMG! I told you they're doing it!!" said Dongwan and all of them looked. They saw Angel sitting on the bed while Minwoo was in front of her, his shirt off. All their jaws dropped down and eyes pop out.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they all screamed and rushed off, Hyesung closing the door behind them. Minwoo laughed. He put on a tank top and Angel finally let herself see him again. Minwoo stared down at Angel. Angel looked up and Minwoo winked at her.

"What the..," said Angel and Minwoo laughed.

"It's call being flirtacious..," he explained as if she didn't know what it was.

Angel took off her nightgown. She reached for the shirt when the door burst opened and Minwoo appeared. "Angel, wake-" he stopped and stared at her.

"OMG!! CLOSE THE DOOR!! CLOSE THE DOOR!!" Angel cried out.

"Holy mama!! Turn around a bit so I can see you clearly!!" said Minwoo, fasinated. He had never seen a women's body that much before.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"JIN!!! ANGEL!!" shouted Minwoo as he looked around. BANG!! A bullet hit his arms. "AUGH!!" he cried. He jerked and wince as the pain shot through his entire body. He glared at the shooter and pointed his gun at them and pulled the trigger. Not caring if the bullet reached the target, Minwoo ran to Angel and Jin.

He saw Jin fumbling with the wire. Minwoo pushed Jin aside and angrily grabbed the wire. The spikes on it poked into him but Minwoo wasn't giving up. He took a grasp of it and had to made a face as all the spikes enter his flesh and blood pour out. But Minwoo jerked and the wire came off Angel's ankle but by then, her feet was bleeding and her ankle was swollen that she couldn't walk anymore.

"Good night..," replied Minwoo. Angel turned to go. "OH! Angel..??" said Minwoo. Angel turned. Minwoo walked over to her and kissed her on her forehead. "Good night..." Then he turned and fell onto the sofa tiredly. Angel blushed and a smile crept across her face.

Her face burning, she quickly rushed upstairs. As soon as she did, Minwoo sat up and stared after her, smiling. He then fell back down and fell asleep.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"Then why did you follow me?" Angel demanded.

"Because, before you go, I need to tell you something," said Minwoo. Angel stared at him. "J-Jin...he likes you," said Minwoo. Angel blinked. Minwoo continued. "He likes you, Angel. I'm his friend, I don't want to see a girl leave him. He likes you a lot, Angel. So will you please stay for him."

"Did Jin told you to tell me this?" asked Angel.

"No...but-"

"Then I don't believe every word of it!" Angel snapped. She pulled away from Minwoo's grasp. Minwoo realize that maybe Angel was leaving...forever.

"ANGEL!" Minwoo shouted. Angel continued walking. "Angel! Jin wasn't the only one who had liked you!" Angel still continue walking. Minwoo shouted, "I HAD LIKED YOU ALSO!!!"

Angel stopped walking. Minwoo was staring after her. "I had also liked you..," he said more quietly.

-End Of Flashback-

She took the last step towards Minwoo until both body touched. Then she touched his chin and tipped up his face.

"I was never in love with JunJin....the way I was with you," she finished. Minwoo's heart skip a beat.

Then Angel close her eyes and went 100% of the way...until her lips gently touched Minwoo's.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

Minwoo wrapped his arms around Angel across her shoulder. He rest his head on her back, closing his eyes. Angel stared into the distant of the night. "Minwoo, what if...one day, I'm gone?" she asked. Minwoo open his eyes.

"What do you mean?" he asked, confuse.

"What if...I go back home?" asked Angel. Minwoo turned her around and cupped her face.

"Do you want to?" he asked.

"Not really. But homesick can really touch a person," Angel explained. Minwoo kiss her forehead. He could love her, but he never really said it yet. Minwoo was bashful about love. He never really thought he would fall in love. He was an unlove and never consider it.

-End of Flashback-

Then Minwoo saw the oil Jin had knock over. Silently, he took out his match and turn it on. The police saw him. Minwoo smirked and drop it onto the car oil that Jin had knock over. The fire started and burst. "ANGEL MOVE!" shouted Minwoo, pushing her.

"AH!" Angel fell over, almost losing her towel. The fire crept up to the polices. Minwoo fell backward.

"Get outta here!!" shouted the officer. Two grabbed Angel and rushed out. Minwoo was trapped inside behind the fire. The officer move away from the burning house. Then...BOOM!! It exploded. The fire had reached the car and had exploded.

"MINWOO!!!" screamed Angel, looking horrified. "MINWOO!! OMG!! MINWOO!!"

"Come on," said the officer, grabbing her hand.

"NO!" cried Angel, tears flooding. She was not going to let Minwoo die. But they pushed her into the car and drove off. Angel turned back to see the house burned brightly in the darkness. A single tear slid down her eyes and roll down her cheek.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"SHH!" shouted the others. Angel stared at Minwoo. She was frighten.

"Ar-are you...a ghost?" she asked.

Minwoo bend down. He kiss her lips. Tears fill Angel's eyes and Minwoo pulled away. "Am I ghost?" he asked. Angel shook her head. Jin untied her and Angel rushed into Minwoo's arms, crying.

"Omg! Is it really you!?" she cried. Minwoo hugged her tightly.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"Angel, I want a future with you," Minwoo said. Angel's eyes widen.

"What!?"

"Look, right now, I don't know why I'm saying this, but somehow I am. I want a future with you." Angel blinked at him only. "Don't just blink at me, answer me!" Minwoo cried.

"Oh!! Yeah...um...right..." She thought over the statement. Minwoo waited. Angel stared at him, sighing. "No," she said.

"WHAT!?" cried Minwoo.

"No."

"Well, why not?"

"Minwoo, everything is pressuring. My parents gonna hurt you! And I don't want to see you hurt." Minwoo held her hand and pulled her close.

"Okay, okay," he said, pulling her close. "You're saying no...but just wait and see, Angel."

"Minwoo!" Angel complained. Minwoo stared at her.

"Come on."

"Minwoo." Angel looked stress. "We don't have anything. Your house, actually Eric's house, burn down. You're a gangster. How are we suppose to live our life together?"

"As long as I have you, I'm okay with it," said Minwoo.

"But Minwoo...," said Angel, "you're a gangster. If you and I get marry, we're gonna be in a lot of danger."

"I'm over with being a gangster," replied Minwoo, staring at the ground. Angel stared at him. "I am. Being a gangster, I'm through. I don't want to be one anymore."

"But if you quit, Eric will hurt you."

Minwoo shrugged. He stared at Angel. "Angel, all I'm asking is to have a life with you. I want my future to be in the right path. You're the only thing that has ever been positive in my life, despite my friends. If I lost you again, I'm gonna die." Angel sighed.

"Minwoo...," she said.

"Angel please," Minwoo begged. "Don't reject me."

Angel sighed. "Fine...," she said. Minwoo smile, kissing her forehead.

"Just wait and see, everything will turn out fine. Everything."

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"I want to quit the group," said Minwoo. Everyone was silent and fear arose in Angel. Eric stood up and Minwoo stand his ground, not backing away. Heart pounding, Angel took a step forward to say her words but Minwoo pulled her back behind him.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

Minwoo open his mouth but the leader interrupted, "Don't say anything smart or she will die."

Minwoo close his mouth. "Fine, I'll do anything. Just leave Angel out of this."

"Oh really? No. We're not stupid, kid. Anyway, she's our bait for you." He walked over to Angel and put a gun to her forehead.

Angel squealed in fear. "Angel!!" cried Minwoo, taking a step towards his girlfriend.

"One step closer and she'll get her head blow up like her mom," snapped the leader. Minwoo stopped, looking frantic. This was what exactly the leader was planning. While Shinhwa were enjoying life, he was planning this. They had spied on Angel and everything had went as plan except for Minwoo quitting the gang. But nothing matter except to make Minwoo their slave.

"Minwoo, Minwoo, Minwoo. Finally, silent by the life of your precious girlfriend. How sweet."

Minwoo glared at the leader. "I'll do anything, just leave Angel alone."

"Anything?" the leader arched an eyebrow. Minwoo stared at Angel who was shaking her head angrily. Minwoo stared back at the leader.

"Anything."

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

The group left Minwoo who laid on the floor, bleeding and broken. He saw Tae Won kissing Angel. "Angel!!" shouted Minwoo. With all his strength, he stood up to get towards her but the guys started beating him up again. Tae Won pulled away from Angel and smirked.

Jin struggle from his place and so did Hyesung and Andy. But they were useless.

Angel's eyes fill with tears as she stared at Minwoo getting beat up. "MINWOOOO!!!!" she cried out, her voice echoing like a thundering dragon in pain.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

They started walking out with the other younger members. Tae Won's eyes opened and he stood up, ignoring his pain. Another knife slid out and he charged towards Minwoo. Minwoo turned and saw.

"MOVE!" he shouted and pushed Angel and Jin away. Every one got shoved and pushed out of the place and Tae Won stabbed the knife into Minwoo's stomach.

"UGH!" he cried out. Tae Won laughed. He then grabbed Minwoo's shirt and pulled him back into the place.

"MINWOO!!" everyone shouted and started rushing towards the place. Angel grabbed a hold of Minwoo's hand but the bomb exploded.

BOOM!!

Everyone fell back and Angel burned her hand but she didn't let go of Minwoo. She jerked and fell backward. Minwoo was limped. Angel and Minwoo fell to the ground. Then everyone grabbed the two and they started running. Minwoo was bleeding.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

"So you love her?" Minwoo nodded. "Why don't we do this...you stay with me, son, and I'll give you shelter and a job to support yourself. You and Angel can even get marry." Minwoo stared at Angel who was beaming and Dongwan was smiling. Minwoo thought for a moment. He looked back at Mr. Kim. "What do you say?" asked Mr. Kim.

Minwoo shook his head slowly. Angel's and Dongwan's smile faded. "No...." he gasped out. Minwoo pulled away from Mr. Kim's grasp and started running off into the darkness.

-End Of Flashback-

-Flashback-

Angel stood there, dumbfounded. Minwoo? She started running after him.

"Angel!" shouted Mr. Kim but Angel had already disappeared into the night. Dongwan stared. He knew what was going to happen. He didn't know how he knew, but he just have a slight feeling.

Angel ran and saw Minwoo, sitting on the curb of a street under a streelight. Through the beam of the light, she could clearly see the rain that was coming faster and faster.

Angel circle her mouth with her hand, "Minwoo!!" Minwoo turned and stared at her as the rain pour down. Angel ran towards him. Minwoo stood up. Angel stopped as she reached him. "Minwoo," she said, "why did you ran off?"

"Because...," answered Minwoo.

"Because...??"

Minwoo stared at Angel. "Look," he said, struggling with the words. "I'm sorry Angel...but...I don't think it's going to work out any longer..."

"What are you talking about?" asked Angel. The rain continued to soaked the two deeply. Minwoo's tears blended with the icy rain.

"Angel...look at everything!! You were kidnap and could've been kill! Your mom WAS kill!! Your dad was on the VERGE of meeting death!" Minwoo shook his head. "I don't think I can handle it anymore if you're going to be risking your life just to love me. I don't want to risk you or your family!"

"Minwoo-" started Angel but Minwoo interrupted.

"I'm sorry," he said. "But I don't want to see you hurt." Angel started crying. She cover her mouth and nose with her hand and try not to cry. She knew where Minwoo is going.

Minwoo touched Angel's shoulder gently. "I'm sorry," he said in a shaky voice, crying. "I'm sorry, Angel...I didn't mean to hurt you so much...I'm sorry." Angel stared at him.

"Why?" she whispered.

"You behold a dragon's soul, it will never leave you. I posessed a gangster's life. What's bred in the bone never will come out of the flesh. Once a gangster, always a gangster."

"But...you told me you quit..," insisted Angel.

"I can't escape it. No matter how hard I try, I can never stop being the person I am. I don't know anything about the world of society, Angel. I knew nothing." Minwoo touched Angel's forehead with his. "The only thing I knew is...I love you," he whispered. Angel stared at him as Minwoo kiss her lips tenderly then pulled away and started walking away into the rain.

"Minwoo!!" cried Angel. "Minwoo!!" She ran and threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly, crying. Minwoo stood there, then he turned and hugged her tightly too. "Minwoo, I love you! Please don't do this! Don't leave me!"

Minwoo stood there, pressing Angel upon him, but his heart was breaking. "I'm sorry!" Immediately, he pulled away and ran off. He continued running. Tears ran down Angel's cheek more and more.

"MINWOOO!!" Angel fell to her knee, watching Minwoo run...running out of her life. "MINWOOO!!!!" Angel cover her face and sobbed as Minwoo disappeared from her view and from her life.

Angel's tears continued to fall. "You say you wanted a future with me, I told you no but you told me to wait and see. You say that being a gangster, you were through. Then if you were...how did I end up losing you...??" Angel looked up and a tear was seen sliding down her cheek.

The tears of love.

The tears of pain.

The tears of a dragon.
