39 - The Fight

I shook my head 

    'no'

Jungkook looked at me and then at Taehyung

      'It will mean we can set rules, like letting everyone go if I win.' he addressed Taehyung, who obviously understood.

       'and if you don't win?' Namjoon asked worriedly

        'It doesn't matter, I am not interested in fighting Jungkook.' Seung Cheol interrupted our conversation, and his eyes averted to me 'but I will accept if she is the challenger'

       'What?' It was a collective bewilderment from all of us.

       'If you win and I will be dead, my group will all let you go and not say a word to anyone about this' he said it almost mockingly like there would be no way that could ever happen.

        'and if I lose?' I asked trying to sound confident

Seung Cheol smirked 'then nothing, you will be dead and I will have killed you in front of Taehyung's eyes. Sounds good enough for me. We will let the rest go.'

     'you sociopath' I had never seen Taehyung this angry before, he was stepping towards Seung Cheol but Jimin held him back.

      'Oh Taehyung, how does it feel not to have everything go your way for once?' Seung Cheol mocked him.

      'Fuck you' Taehyung spat out

       'I guess you really care for the girl. I haven't seen you this worked up before'

        'I accept' I exclaimed, there really was no other way. plus I was done with Seung Cheol dragging this out, only to bully Taehyung even more.

Yoongi stopped me again 'y/n, I am serious, you are not doing this' 

I stared into his eyes 'You can't stop me, what other choices do we have? I go with him and he kills some of you regardless. We all fight and the majority of us will die, or I fight him one on one and only I might die'

I paused for a second

       'It's not really a consideration. I have to accept this. Plus now I have a chance to live as well.'

Yoongi stood frozen, with this realization in his eyes that he couldn't change my mind, a hopelessness because the situation couldn't be changed.

       'y/n, I can't lose you' he whispered, I wasn't sure if he was even aware of it but what I did know is that my heart ached.

       'Alright, you get half an hour to prepare, and say goodbye' Seung Cheol explained.

       'We will keep Zhora with us so you won't run' he added. 

We stood on a little distance from Seung Cheols group.

Everyone from our group in front of me in a sort of half circle. They basically one by one told me what I should be paying attention to, how to fight Seung Cheol etc.

      'Remember our lessons, the ways you can dodge his sword' Yoongi said

       'Remember to aim for his head or heart' Taehyung said

        'Also, he thinks your a weak human and that will exactly be your strength' Jungkook added

       'y/n, your strength is your foot work, keep that in mind' Namjoon instructed

Jimin, Jin and Hoseok gave me a reassuring nod. It was clear everyone was as anxious as me. and why wouldn't they be? I was about to fight some Other warrior.

Though, I wasn't completely defenseless, I had skills. Skills we trained since all of this started. If I had to do this 6 months ago I didn't stand a chance at all but now I did. 

      'Okay I can do this. I am ready' I said after they all did their part to prep me.

That left the next question

Was I saying goodbye?

No, I can't say goodbye and become all emotional just before this big fight. I needed to stay focused.

Instead I just said shortly what I needed to say.

      'If anything goes south know that I cared for each and every one of you' I said to them as I looked them all in the eyes individually. I paused at my brother 'You're the best brother Joon'

They all left so I had some alone time with Yoongi.

       'I love you' Yoongi said as he rested his forehead on mine. I leaned forwards to give him a quick kiss. 'I love you too, but I'll be okay' I answered

       'You better be' he answered but I heard the tremble in his voice so I knew he was anxious. 

We stood at an open field, the members of our groups all around us in half circles. It was properly dark outside, except for the moonlight and the stars in the skies above us. I couldn't deny that I was feeling my heart beating in my throat, or my legs trembling as I looked at Seung Cheol in front of me.

He was so ready for this fight.

      'Let's start, human girl' he stated and he immediately moved my way.

This was it.

It was unreal to think about how I ended up here.

Did it start with me jumping off the bridge?

Or was it just bad luck for me to run into Seung Cheol?

Was fate a real thing and everything had to lead up to this point? 

I dodged his first attempt to attack me quite easily. He continued and I kept dodging. The lessons with Yoongi replaying in my mind. I saw Jin in front of me as he was my regular training partner. I wasn't really focusing on attacking yet.

I noticed Seung Cheol became more annoyed and impatient as I was able to successfully dodge his attempts to cut me.

I just needed to be a bit more patient myself until his frustration reached a level in which he would lose focus.

I was carefully managing my footwork as my brother had instructed.

I stepped on a little rock and the moment it happened I knew I was going to make a misstep. Seung Cheol also realized it and he launched forwards. It was clear he aimed for my throat but I managed to step back, however he leaned forwards. 

An incredible pain filled my body as it seemed he was able to inflict a pretty large cut. Not in my neck but just above the chest.

     'NO' I heard Yoongi shout from the sidelines, it was clear he wanted to step in but Jungkook held him back.

      'We can't intervene' I heard him say from a distance.

and in the moment that I seemed to want to give into the pain, I saw Seung Cheol lose his focus. His arrogance in thinking he had won this fight already. He looked back at one of his group members with a self fulfilled smile.

I launched myself forwards and stabbed him.

His eyes shot wide open but that was all that happened because when I looked down I saw I had stabbed him right where his heart was. 

He collapsed right in front of me as I let go of my sword.

I wasn't conscious about what was happening I think. I was in a daze as I looked down and saw my upper body covered with blood.

I dropped to my knees. Yoongi ran towards me and caught me before I entirely fell onto the ground.

Zhora, (who was released at this point), and Jin also ran my way, zhora lowered my shirt a little and inspected the wound, as well as Jin.

I knew Jin had some knowledge about it but it appeared that Zhora did too. Jin looked at Yoongi and Namjoon.

      'It's a bad cut but she'll live'
