While Jacob is busy cursing the couple. Ging and Niah are also in the middle of an intense argument.
"Why the hell did you ever stop me, woman?" Ging angrily yells, remembering the scene where Niah got her arm bruised by the bastard got his mood even sourer. 'I thought it was normal for a couple to argue, but for a man to raise his hand hit a woman.' What a scumbag!
"As I said, his dad is rich and powerful, what can you do?" Niah retorted back "Why are you yelling at me even though I saved from doing something foolish, BAKA!."
Hmph! They both snorted and looked away, continued walking in silence.
After a few minutes, Ging decided to break the silence "Sorry for yelling at you Niah, the adrenaline got into me." he said but still refused to look at her. A couple of minutes passed but the silence still resounds. 'This tomboy, why is she so stubborn? Can't she act like a normal girl' Ging inwardly thought?
Niah put on a stoic expression, pretending to be angry but her inside is a mess. 'HAAAAA, what do I do? What do I say? Should I thank him? No! He defended me, even though I could have gotten out of the situation myself, but why did he yell at me after I stopped him from getting in trouble? Unforgiveable!'
Just like Ging, Niah has liked him since the first day they met. At that time, she was there, at the wrestling try-out along with Ging, even though her dad was the coach, she did not get any favoritism. They were in the same weight class and coincidently wrestled with each other as their match. Niah with superior experience in technique beat Ging to the ground. Round after round, Ging though beaten black and blue, didn't relent and kept getting up. Finally, after the 20th round when he beat her in the battle of attrition. That was the first time Niah took an interest in him.
Back to the present, Niah looks down at the ground, heavily blushes, squeaks "Thank you, Ging."
"Hmm? Did you say something?" Ging pondered.
"Nothing, you big-headed idiot, BAKA!" Niah grunted and ran to her car. "Make sure you will be there at 7:00, otherwise I won't forgive you," she said raising her fist. Niah got in her car and rode away.
"What a hassle," Ging complained while digging his ear. After making sure that no other fat pigs would obstruct her, he got into the car and drove toward his apartment.
Rooster rest, 7:15 pm, a man who is wearing normal clothes, looking average at best, scrolling through his phone reading his favorite manga Hunter x Hunter. 'Damn this is such a cliffhanger' he thought. The man is Ging, reading the manga while waiting for a certain tomboy to arrive. "Even though she told me to come at 7:00 and it's been 15 minutes, big breast idiot" Ging mutters, suddenly feeling chilly.
"Who is the big breast idiot HUH?" a menacing voice came from behind him. Ging turned his head slowly his face paled. There she is, "The big breast idiot," who is in blue jeans, with a white tank top, covered over by a blue cardigan. The woman is Niah who arrives late due to some "technical difficulty" of getting dressed. "Want to repeat what you said, you big-headed idiot?" Niah narrowed her eyes dangerously as she threatened him.
"Chill, Chill, it was a joke, Hehe" Ging waves both his hands in surrender while inwardly cursing at his bad lucks.
"Hmph!" Niah snorted and sat down across from him.
Ging now finally got a closer look at her, 'everything about her is so perfect he thought. From her brown wavy, shoulder-length hair, her dazingly hazel eyes, that small but perfect red color lip, to her white pearl teeth. Such a beauty that can make everyone infatuated with, is now sitting across from him as she looks at him puzzledly.
"What's wrong?" Niah said as she inwardly panics, 'Is there something on my face, why is he staring at me so intensely?.'
"Nothing, I was distracted with something" Ging lies, "anyways, let us get some food, because of someone I have to wait on an empty stomach for 15 minutes." He grumbles. He flips the menu, trying to see the good foods.
'tech, fat ass!' Niah complained inwardly, as she opens the menu, her eyes sparkled as she looks at the appetizing food pictures on the menu.
8:00 pm, after a big hearty meal, Ging and Niah are now walking side to side, on a bridge as they breathe in the fresh smell of the ocean. Neither of them speaks, as they listened to the quiet street, and rustles from the oceans.
Then, Ging suddenly stops, Niah turns back looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"I want to tell you something" Ging spoke aloud, finally having enough courage to tell her his deep desires. '11 years, I finally dare to confess to her, this is all or nothing' Ging bites his lip.
"I like-" before Ging could finish.
BOOM! A gunshot resounds
Ging could feel his vision darken as he caught a glimpse of Niah rushing toward him with horror and a tear-stained face. "GING!"
