3 Lame Chapter 2

They sat down at a random table near a window. The cafeteria was on the second floor of one of the outer buildings so it gave one quite a good view of the outskirts of Seoul. In the distance, as Garou ate some rice, he could see the bustling city line. Towering skyscrapers sparkling in the sun, and a sprawling amount of old buildings below.

Daniel, in all his unconfident glory, was sweating bullets as Zoe hugged his arm, smiling. He looked at Garou, desperate for an escapade, but he simply smiled his wolfish grin and ate some kimchi silently.

Garou sighed, putting his legs on a chair across from him and leaning back.

Across the room, a few certain people were looking at him. A burly teen, about six feet tall stared at them intently. He had rippling muscles and wore a white tank top, the guy had already gone through puberty for quite a while it seems, as he had a stub of a mustache growing and a little beard. But the most noticeable feature of his was probably the tattoos covering the body.

His real name was Euntae Lee, but the people of J Highschool fearfully called him by another. Vasco. The leader of the Burn Knuckles, a group of freshman that had been gaining quite some infamy in the past few months…

Besides him, was another teen. This one also had tattoos on his forearm and chest but looked sort of weird. He was lanky and thin, but also quite muscular, with a weird haircut and extremely oversized ears. Jace Park. Seriously, there were so many Park's in Korea….

Garou noticed a few people gazing at him. He did look sort of intimidating….. Vasco looked over at Daniel and Garou, looking a little cautious.

Ignoring him, Garou went back to hungrily scarfing down the food. It was good. He quite liked Korean food, especially Bulgogi.

Bulgogi is a thin marinated piece of beef or pork that is usually grilled. It is quite the savory treat. Too bad today they did not have it…. Goes pretty well with white rice. And if he combined it with Oyakadon….. Double meat heaven.

After Garou finished, he got up, walking away. Abandoning Daniel to his fangirl fate....

After School…

Finally, the bell rang and Garou got out of his seat, hoisting a bag over his left shoulder, and accompanying Daniel as they walked out of the school building, with quite a lot of people still whispering.

Same thing as before. Just a bunch of hopeless romantics and a bunch of jealous idiots. Garou tapped Daniel on the shoulder, who was still getting used to being tall and not…. Inferior.

"How's it feel man?" Garou asked, wondering what Daniel would say.

"It's weird… I feel so tall and so light. My body is brimming with vigor, I feel awesome…." Daniel said a smile on his face. He was clearly in a pretty good mood, but of course, he was still technically being constantly bullied so a shadow still lay in his heart. "But… Am I even worthy of such a body? Who even is this? Why can I do this? There are simply too many questions I have right now! It's really frustrating!" Daniel clutched his head for some reason, muttering weird stuff.

"Shut up. I can't say anything encouraging to you…. But for now, just embrace your reality I guess? I mean, if you wanna just go be depressed in a hole, I'm fine with that…." Garou whistled a little, taking out his phone.

Daniel stared at Garou blankly.

"..."

They quickly walked back to Daniel's house.

Twenty Minutes Later….

Garou deposited a few cartons of chocolate milk into an old mini-fridge. Above him, a flickering light….. Flickered. An eerie LED glow encompassed the room. Daniel had gone out to apparently get a part-time job or something of the sort, but his other pudgy body slept on the floor, making the scene a little disturbing.

A few minutes ago, Garou had gone to the nearby convenience store to buy a few cartons of milk and some instant ramen. Also a little kimbap.

Right now, he was paying a weekly 10,000 won per month. He was going to rent out a nice apartment nearby in a few months though, it was sort of weird living with Daniel after all…..

(A/N: About 85 US dollars, and 4,200 pesos I believe…?)

Tomorrow, Garou would just go out and explore this part of Seoul. It would be pretty fun after all, maybe some idiotic thugs would come looking for a fight?

Whistling a little song, Garou put on some headphones, he walked outside, gracefully leaping onto the roof of the tiled building and crouched there, dusting off some dirt, before laying there, putting on some random music….
