Chapter 9

The next day I woke up in a sour mood. I really did not want to deal with anyone today . After taking a shower and getting ready for school, I briskly greeted everyone and rushed outside to take a walk to the nearest cafe.

Walking into a cafe named ' The Split Bean', I walked up to the desk to order my coffee. After ordering, I slowly drank my coffee whilst walking to my school.

Upon arriving, I realized I reached just in time for homeroom. Going about the rest of my day, I ensured to stay as invisible as ever. From eating my break and lunch on the bench in the school's garden to rushing to classes early and being the first one to leave.

With a new found determination, I headed to Jeon warehouse for daily practice. As I entered, I could hear loud grunts coming from the back close to his office. From where, I stood I could see Jeon black hair stucked onto his face and neck with sweat glistening down on his white skin. He was dressed with a fitted black tank top accompanied by a short grey shorts. His shirt clinged to his upper body , showing off his buff muscles and arm tattoos going all the way down to his fingers. He was looking quite delicious if I say so myself. He was looking like a complete greek god whilst punching the punching back with elegance. One hand was graced with a red and black boxing glove that went well with his shirt.

Today was the first time I saw him wearing a shirt without sleeves and that had me day dreaming as to what his front looked like. Does he have abs? I wonder. Before he can catch me staring at him like a complete pervert , I walked up to him and greeted him with a straight face.

He was so preoccupied with his punching bag that when I came close to him he jumped. That had me laughing for a whole 2 minutes. He looked like his mom caught him stealing candy from the jar. After coming back to reality, I looked at him to see he was already watching me.

"You are here early," he said. "Well, I did not have anything to do so here I am. "

" Ok then. Grab the jump ropes and start the daily routine, " he demanded. " If I have to do any jump ropes, I'll take it and cut it in half," I replied. Going back to my mood earlier, I asked him if we can start with the boxing as I already want to learn to fight. He watched me with a scowl on his face. I guess he did not like me telling him what to do, after all, it's his gym and equipment I' m using.

He did not say anything to me. Instead he went to the other side of the room to retrieve some tape, then he walked back infront of me. "Put your hands out".

I did as I was told trying my best to hide the shivers running down my spine. He took my hands into his and delicately wrapped the tape around them. He maintained eye contact with me whilst doing so causing my cheeks to have a pink tint on them. If he saw my blush, he did not point it out at all.

Once he was done wrapping the other knuckle he placed the boxing glove on each of my hands. After, he took a step back and points towards one of the punching bags. " Go ahead and start hitting," he told me.

With a little hesitance, I walked towards the punching bag slowly and with all the strength I can muster I gave it a hard hit.  I continued to hit the punching bag and stopped eventually to take a breath.

I turned towards Jeon and asked him if I'm doing it right. His only reply was to continue and I will tell you when to stop.

Sighing, I began to punch it again.
This time I did it a little slower. "Faster, harder..," Jeon shouted behind me. I punched the bag at a quicker and harder rate causing me to get angry the longer I punch for.

I start to remember all the things my dad has done to my mom and I, all the trouble I had to go through in my life and the reason I wanted to learn boxing, which was to finally protect my mom and myself. All those things fuelled my anger the longer I stayed reminiscing the past. I imagined the punching bag as my father and continued to punch it.

"You can stop now." "Ok that's enough." "STOP!" I did not hear anything Jeon was saying as I was deep in thought but the way he shouted  stop had me coming back to reality.

" Get a grip on yourself. When doing things like that never make your emotions get the best of you. Stay focus," he shouted.

" Emotions don't belong here. "

The more he continued to talk the angrier I got. " I am learning,  what does me being angry have to do with anything?

" You know what class is over for the day. Whatever on your mind go and do something to take your mind of it. By you being here right now is not helping you. I'll see you next class," he stated and walked away.

Agreeing with him, I took all my things and walked out of there hoping the rest of my day will be okay.

Once I arrived home, I went in my room to take a quick shower. Deciding to just relax for the day, I went in the backyard and sat on one of the benches closest to my aunt's pool. Laying on top of it, I closed my eyes and eventually fell asleep.

When I got up it was already dark out and by then I had already calmed down. I guess I was extremely stressed and angry that sleeping helped me.

Walking into the dining room, I saw that my cousin left my food wrapped with a note telling me to eat. This brought a smile on my face when I saw he drew a smiling face next to it. After eating, I washed up and headed straight to bed.
