KOF Extras

Staycation at Yokohama

Hey guys! So this is a request by @Popstar_Idol
I'm sorry if this story is a little flimsy, it's because I didn't really get enough details lol... the chapter seemed to be based on an episode of Mr. Bean, called Mr. Bean in Room 426, but it's Shingo in Bean's place instead.
I've tried to tweak a few things and yeah... it may not be that good, especially now that I'm reading the end result lol.

Shingo got off the train at the Chukagai station and started walking towards the town, taking his phone out to navigate his way to the hotel he booked.
He found it at last and went straight to the front desk to check-in.
"I have a reservation under Shingo Yabuki?" Shingo said, giving his identification card to the receptionist, together with his booking details.
The receptionist nodded and gave him the key to his room, together with meal tickets.
"And you'd have to pay a deposit of ¥3500," the receptionist informed. "You'll get it back if you leave your room with nothing damaged."
Shingo started rummaging in his pockets for the money when someone familiar walked in.
It was Iori.
"Iori?" Shingo said in surprise.
"Where's your senpai?" Iori sighed, knowing full well that chaos would follow the younger man, especially if he's alone.
"Nagasaki," Shingo grinned.
"What about Beni?"
"He went to Kobe, I think," Shingo shrugged. "It's just me here."
Iori groaned. "Oh great..."
He went to the front desk and handed his identification and booking details to the receptionist, much to Shingo's surprise.
'Hmm, he thinks he can just cut line like that?' Shingo frowned.
"Room number 301," the receptionist said, handing a key to Iori.
Shingo looked at the keys in his hand. Room number 303. He smirked and waited so that he can finish the procedures. Iori thanked him and made his way to the lift. Shingo smirked, paid his deposit, and rushed towards the stairs. He rushed to the first floor and pressed the button for the lift, running back to the stairs as soon as he did.
Iori was confused at why the lift opened when there was no one around. He shrugged and pressed the close button to continue his way up.
Shingo huffed as he reached the second floor but enthusiastically ran towards the lift and pressed the button again as if he wanted to go up. He ran back to the stairs and made his way to the third floor.
Iori rolled his eyes and closed the lift again, glad that there was only one floor left.
Shingo arrived at the third floor and stood in front of the lift, grinning. It opened, revealing a rather annoyed Iori, and he decided to do a little dance just to irritate him a bit.
Iori just glared at him as Shingo ran down the passage towards his room.
He groaned when he saw the younger man standing in front of the door neighbouring his room, smirking as he came down the corridor.
Iori silently groaned and touched the keycard against the lock, instantly unlocking the door and going in.
Shingo, on the other hand, was wondering why there was no slotter to insert the card. To his surprise, the lock suddenly dinged—signalling that it was unlocked— and the handle turned easily. Shingo quickly pushed it open and rather noisily shuffled in.
Iori groaned next door, realising that he had to endure this throughout his stay in Yokohama.
'Great, I can forget about relaxing now that I have to watch over Kyo's chaotic baby...' Iori sighed, laying down on his bed.
He also made it a point to be out as much as possible, spending as little time as he could in the room.

Shingo watched from his window as firecrackers were blasted in the streets of Chukagai. It was always a custom for the Chinese to light firecrackers, especially on New Year's Day. Now, as the clock struck midnight. He took videos, laughing and cheering as he even posted live videos on social media, much to Iori's dismay next door.
But the younger man didn't care, enjoying himself as the firecrackers were blasted one by one, creating sparks on the streets.
He didn't know if this was illegal, but it was still fun to watch, nonetheless.
The next morning, Shingo made his way to the stage in Chukagai where the Dragon and Lion Dance were performed in. He watched in awe, filming with his phone. At least, he thought he was filming since he just held his phone above his head and watched with an open mouth as the performance was done.
He tried to invite Kyo to join him too but sadly, he decided to go celebrate with his family in Shinchi Chinatown, Nagasaki. Benimaru rejected too, saying he had his own plans.
But that also reminded him. Iori was alone on this trip, not with his sister. He wondered where Aiko was. Was she with Benimaru? Or was she enjoying somewhere else?
Or did Iori outright ditch his sister to spend some alone time?
Maybe?
Well, at least Shingo managed to book a weekend stay at Chukagai, having the privilege to watch this magnificent performance.
Though he was alone, he spent the weekend having fun, relaxing in the hotel, going for karaoke, singing badly, cringing at how horrible he sounded, binge-eating in the hotel's buffet, reading books, and writing in his handbook at the end of the day.
And now, it was Chinese New Year, the reason he actually came to Chukagai.
He really enjoyed the performances, especially the Dragon and Lion Dance and the martial arts show.
By the time it was all done, it was night. Shingo made his way back to the hotel, his stomach rumbling from hunger. He handed the meal ticket to the staff and waited in line to get food from the buffet.
To his surprise, the person in front of him was none other than Iori.
"Hi, Iori!" Shingo called, much to the redhead's dismay.
"Hey." Iori simply greeted, only glancing at him briefly.
"Have you eaten?"
"Why are you standing in line now?"
"For food?"
"Let that sink in."
"Where's Aiko?" Shingo changed the subject.
"She's spending her Chinese New Year with the K' team, mainly with the girls since the guys ditched them for some unknown reason."
Shingo nodded and waited as the line got shorter and shorter. Soon, he started piling his plate high with food, right behind Iori.
And took whatever he took but in a bigger quantity.
The redhead gave him a questioning look as Shingo made a beeline to the table right next to his.
Iori just continued eating, watching something on his phone which he propped up in front of him. The sound of gobbling came from the table next to his, much to his dismay.
He gave Shingo a discreet glance, and to his surprise, the younger man was practically vacuuming the food in front of him.
Iori sighed and took one of the Tosazu oysters, using his chopsticks to take it out of the shell.
Loud slurping noise came from Shingo's side as he drank one oyster after another. Iori wondered how he didn't already get thrown out for bad behaviour.
Shingo stopped short when he saw how Iori grimaced as he brought the oyster towards his mouth. The redhead sniffed the oyster slightly and dropped the flesh back into the shell, placing it back onto the plate before getting up with it.
Iori went towards one of the waiters with a snarl and practically shoved the plate of oysters in his face. Shingo dropped the oyster shell in shock when he saw how the waiter's face contorted into a disgusted grimace as he bowed an apology to Iori and took the plate, making his way to the buffet.
The oysters had long gone bad.
Shingo started panicking. He ate like ten of those oysters, downing them so fast that he didn't even notice the bad smell it emanated.
He immediately ran to the nearest toilet, his hands clapped against his mouth as bile rushed up to his throat like a rolling tsunami.
Iori just watched, shaking his head. He took his phone out and texted someone.
Beni, Kyo abandoned his baby again
