The Duo » yoonmin [FF]

EIGHT

THE START WAS the hardest part. Yoongi was a professional, but even though Jimin tried hard to focus as well, he somehow couldn't. It's hard to train with someone you barely know and who doesn't even want to work with you in the first place. Knowing what Yoongi is thinking about Jimin, is triggering him, making him lose his focus every now and then.

„Focus, Park." Yoongi says, while Jimin is holding his hand above a knife that Yoongi placed on the floor.

„Make your powers something touchable, as something that is tangible. Like a string, pulling the knife to your hand." The Sergeant says, standing right next to Jimin.

And Jimin tries to follow his tips but it isn't working. The knife is moving, but it shakes a lot, he lifts it up but lets it fall down the next moment because he can't control the speed and way the knife flies up to his hand.

„Focus on it more. It's just you and the knife, the iron in it." Min continues talking, while Jimin shakes his head as if he's already giving up.

„It's not working." Jimin says annoyed.

„You are too distracted. Try to feel the iron, as if your hand and the knife are magnetic, make them touch." The elder says, taking a step closer to Jimin, now standing slightly behind him, „Close your eyes, focus on my voice."

Jimin takes a sharp breath in, slowly closing his eyes like the Sergeant told him to. Yoongi is standing so close behind him, his breath is tickling the back of Jimin's neck and even though this alone should be the biggest distraction for Jimin, it indeed isn't.

Yoongi's voice is deep and calming, and it makes Jimin somehow focus better, even if its just slightly.

„Think about the iron of the knife. Think about the string around your fingers that is attached to the knife, helping you to pull the knife to your palm. Think about the direction the knife will make on its way up. As if you are pulling the string." Yoongi says, „You are the one being in power. You have the control over the knife, over the iron, you can control it. Make it do what you want it to do."

The knife lifts up from the ground, first slowly but as Jimin opens his eyes, after hearing a soft ‚Good' from Yoongi, the knife suddenly speeds up, flying straight to Jimin's hand with the blade ahead. The younger immediately pulls his hand way so that it won't hurt him, causing the knife to fall down with a loud sound.

„Damn it." Jimin hisses out of frustration.

„It wasn't bad." Yoongi says, „But I have an idea."

With that the male leaves the practice room and not long after he comes back with something in his hand. He holds it up and Jimin notices it's a pen.

„A pen?" Jimin raises a brow.

„Yes a pen. You will practice with this one till you can do it perfectly and then try it with the knife again." Yoongi responds and it made perfectly sense.
