Lunch Break [Hwan]

[Alex Atalante]

Einkaufszentrum was as busy as usual. There was always a massive number of people going in and out of stores, walking the length of the mall every day of the week. Perhaps it had to do with this particular mall more or less monopolizing most of the retail businesses, but most people just went there rather than bothering to go to the shopping center within the same district.

Alexandra worked at a smaller, third party clothing outlet in the mall, picking it mainly because it was steady pay and not quite as much work. Sure, they obviously got customers, but it wasn't nearly as busy for them since they didn't have the latest and greatest immediately on the shelves with a nice shiny price tag on it. She didn't mind, and she actually got a good amount of her own clothing from here simply because they had good stuff at reasonable prices.

Earlier, while she had been on the clock at the counter, she spotted a familiar face walking by the store. She didn't dare wave or signal him, but figured if she could find him later then she'd talk with him then. It had been a while since they last spoke, so some catching up would be good.

Thankfully, this took place close to lunch break, so when she was given the freedom to go get some food she began by figuring out where he had gotten to. She simply kept her uniform on without the name tag, since removing that makes her blend in nicely. The uniform was a pair of black pants, for women they cut off about half way down the shin, with a pair of shoes to match, along with a white collared shirt. Thankfully, this also kept Alexander at bay, since it had pants, so there was nothing to worry about.

She soon tracked him down to one of the food courts, and decided to try and look like she wasn't hunting him down. She began walking along the length of the food court, acting as though she were trying to decide where to eat, when she turned her head and spotted him.

"Hinoooo!" she shouted, giving him a wave as she headed towards him with a surprised, yet pleased look on her face.

"It's been a while, how've you been?"

[Hwan]

He was being tracked.

Hwan Ji Wook Young, world's greatest terrorist mastermind, did not like being tracked.

However it was not the usual people tracking him. A strange person with a large coat and large sunglasses, or a small pack of seemingly random people following him. It was a girl. A single, lone girl. Not a fan of The Dance Floor either. This girl was simply interested in Hwan himself, or rather, she was obsessed with Eiji Hino. "I knew I shouldn't have picked her up. Fucking knew she was a crazy bitch..." He hissed under his throat. He sat in a random chair in the food court, hands in his pockets and slumping into his chair. His face was somewhere between an annoyed scowl and nervousness, his usual expression when dealing with with something he wasn't used to. He didn't want to look. He REALLY didn't want to look. He had to though. He swallowed his apprehension and ventured a tilting of his head to the right, just a small glance to the-

"Fuckfuckfuckshewavedatme."

He immediately whipped his head back to the table and stared at it's center. For some very odd reason, this single girl had been able to track Hwan better than even government spies. This one girl he had chatted up and taken home for some fun, only for her to come back a week later and declare her undying love for him. "Seriously Eiji were you fucking HIGH!?" He cursed to himself in his head. He had a habit of segregating his misfortunes as the fault of his alternate identities. Meanwhile, said girl had her cell phone out and peered out from behind a wall to giggle while taking a picture of Hwan, to post on her blog. Hwan suddenly got an e-mail update so he checked his phone. That crazy chick had sent him a link to the blog post she had just made a few seconds ago.

"Fucking CRAZY HOES. ALL OF THEM." He mentally screamed, putting a hand to his temple to ease his growing anxiety. He wouldn't exactly be able to shift identities if there was someone blogging about it. I mean what self-respecting terrorist would put

"lol totly pwned dis bewulf n00b hre. 0rochi ftw LOL!"

Or would have a blog in general? That was like asking "Oh please, please sir, put me in the darkest, dankest cell and make sure my cellmate is a giant homosexual named Butt Ripper Earl!". He had to shake her off. Yet this girl seemed to have some ungodly ability to continue following him. If worst came to worse he was going to have to try and transform to just plain run away but then she'd just go back to his apartment and then-

Wait was that Alex?

It was.

"SCORE."

For some odd reason Alex was walking the long way across the food court, but Hwan was rather sure she was there to see him. Then again, Hwan had no way to back up this fact, he was really just pompous and self-assured enough to automatically assume that she was.

"Hinoooo!"

She looked pleased to see him. She waved and he noticed her usual outfit was on, and Hwan checked his calendar and watch on his cellphone. Thursday, around noon. That meant she was on her break. Perfect. He could use this. It would also be rather fun. Hwan did like to mess with Alex's gender identity after all. Once she was finally within distance of him, Hwan played it cool and slipped his cell into his back pocket and made sure to look as visibly happy as he possibly could. He needed to make it very blunt, blunt enough for his stalker to see. He put up a hand and greeted "Hey. Been waiting for you." as genially as he usually did. Once Alex was closer, Hwan took a step forward and hugged her, however it was not in a friendly manner. Instead he sensually draped his hands around her waist and lightly clasped his fingers at the base of her spine and pulled her closer into him. This was a boyfriend hug. Immediately he cemented it by quickly leaning his head in and delivering a quick kiss to Alex's lips before ducking his head out and resting his forehead against hers.

"Pleaseseethispleaseseethispleaseseethis." Was all he could repeat in his mind.

"I've just been chilling as usual. You've been busy lately. Thought I'd come see you at work, brighten up your day." He replied softly due to the distance. Hopefully Alex would play along.

Although Hwan being Hwan, he also hoped she wouldn't accidentally fall in love with him.

As soon as Hwan began making his moves, Alex knew something was going on. For one, he looked rather stressed before she spoke up, and his actions made it seem like he was trying to hide, or something similar. For two, while he did have a tendency to toy around with them from time to time when she was out, he was going further than usual. She knew she'd get an explanation soon, but for now, she decided to just play along and gain a lead over Alexander.

"You haven't come to see me in a while. I began to wonder if you'd forgotten about me, Hino." she replied softly in return, a bit of a playful smile on her face as she leaned into him some, going along with the hug. Whoever he was hiding from, she hoped they were enjoying the 'display'.

"So, what're you up to? You seem a bit on edge today." she continued, speaking a little quieter than before just to be sure nobody could hear. Her arms found their way around Hwan, to try and complete the image he seemed to want to make. Hopefully, things would resolve calmly, as she didn't intend to have things turn violent in the food court. It'd look bad when she went back to work.
