Taekwondo Blackbelt (Jungkook x Reader) [COMPLETED]

The Harsh Lesson

"You want to fight Cheon Muho?" Chisoo asks, looking down at the maknae.

Jeongguk nods, face full of rage. "Yes! No matter what!!!"

"No."

"Why?!"

"I'll be the one deciding who your opponents are." Chisoo crosses his arms, looking him dead in the eyes. "You're not skilled enough to go up against Cheon Muho yet."

Jeongguk's rage rises, "I used to win against him all the time! I need to fight Cheon Muho, no matter what!"

Chisoo gestures the other direction, "Go warm up."

Jeongguk continues to badger Chisoo for the next couple of days.

*Timeskip*

Finally, Jeongguk approaches Chisoo with an unyielding expression on his face.

"...Let me fight Cheon Muho."

"I told you no." Chisoo replies, annoyed.

"Let me."

"No-!"

"Why not?!" Jeongguk's voice carries over to the corner where (Y/N) is organizing supplies. She looks up in alarm.

'Jeongguk...?'

"It's not even that big an ask!" Jeongguk clenches his fists, aggressively. "Why won't you let me? Huh?!"

Chisoo looks at him with a blank stare, "...Suit up."

Jeongguk's eyes light up a bit. "Great! Let's spar!"

Chisoo's eyebrows furrow.

"If I win, let me fight Cheon Muho. If I lose, I won't bother you about it anymore. Okay?!"

They become silent for a while.

"Ha...Okay." Chisoo says, breaking the silence. "I'll do it."

A pair of (E/C) eyes widen as (Y/N) is surprised at what she just witnessed. She feels uneasy watching them. 'Is Jeongguk going to be alright?'

Moments later...

The whole club room is filled with the energy and body heat rolling off Jeongguk and Chisoo. Jeongguk's eyes burn with his will to win, no matter what.

Chisoo is just in his stance, not flinching.

Jeongguk rushes in without hesitation. Chisoo dodges easily, like he's anticipating Jeongguk's moves. Jeongguk lets out a shout and runs at Chisoo when he notices that he isn't coming into range.

(Y/N) is sitting, mentally cheering on as she watches the spar. 'Yeah! Just like that...!'

Just as Jeongguk approaches, Chisoo lowers his center of gravity and launches a spin kick. The spin kick makes contact with Jeongguk.

"Ugh...Ah..." Jeongguk groans out.

Chisoo looks just as tired, "Hah...Ahh... Taekwondo isn't always about going on the offensive. Defense and blocking come first and foremost. You don't even know the fundamentals, and you want to do Taekwondo? Figure out the real reason you practice Taekwondo." Chisoo gestures his hand dismissively, "If you don't...you won't be fighting ANYONE."

Jeongguk looks flabbergasted and quickly pulls himself off the floor. "W-Wait. We never agreed to anything like-"

Chisoo walks away without hearing Jeongguk out.

"Hah..."

'He looks really devastated...' (Y/N) looks at him, sympathetically. Knowing that right now is not a good time to cheer him up, she quietly flies out of the room.

Jeongguk lies there for a long while.

'Will he be okay...?'

*Timeskip*

It's afternoon, and Jeongguk is still in the middle of the club room's mat practicing his offensive moves as he is still concentrating on what Chisoo said.

"Taekwondo isn't always about going on the offensive..."

Jeongguk attacks the air with a spin kick.

"...Defense and blocking comes first and foremost..."

He throws another high spin kick, but loses his balance and nearly trips.

"...You don't even know the fundamentals, and you want to do Taekwondo..."

Jeongguk pants and falls down to the floor from exhaustion.

"...Figure out the real reason you practice Taekwondo. If you don't, it's over..."

He lies down the mat, heavily panting. His face showing that there were many questions in his head, but only one was on his mind specifically.

'The real reason why I do Taekwondo...?
.
.
.
...The real reason.'
