Love At First Kick

5

I grabbed all of my pads and covers, running over to my bag to get my helmet. My bag was next to my brother.

'I was in pain watching you guys earlier.' Hobi says, wincing at the thought

'Poor guy.' My brother comments, looking at Jimin

'That poor guy is one of the best fighters in the country. Poor those who fight against him.' I chuckle as I go back to the training, putting on my helmet.
I walk over to Jimin, seeing him put his one on. He's got such a handsome face, but this helmet squished him so much that he looked like a little steamed bun. It's adorable.

I'm with Jimin for the first round.
'Let's start nice and easy. Be careful with your foot.' We do a typical pre-fight greet where you low-five someone before the fight

'I'll do my best.' He smiles, and the round starts.

Yeah, he's not Jungkook. He's not running in. I start moving in, pushing out my leg in front, going for his head. I didn't even get close before I got kicked in the shield under my leg. This was such a dumb move from me.
Also, what is with the damn kick? It took me a second to catch my breath.

He moves in first now, doing the same thing as I did. Thank God for my flexibility. I went over his leg, kicking him right on the top of his head.

'Where did that even come from?' He laughs at himself

'Sorry.' I joke back, but he just high fives me and moves on.

We kept sparring as safely as we could, each of us exchanging points. I land one on his head. He lands one on mine. I kick him in the shield. He kicks me.

He tried to spin, but I ran into him, getting him into a clinch.
Wow, he smells good. He is supposed to be sweaty. Why does he smell good?

I do the same thing I usually do to Jungkook. I push my hip past his, twisting my leg behind his back, clipping him on the head.

The round just ended with him laughing.
'I was laughing at that guy the other day for this exact thing, and look at me now. That was a good one.' He high fives me

'Great job. Was a pleasure getting beaten up by you.' I joke high-fiving him back

'Stop flirting, switch partners.' Coach says, and again, everyone laughed

Jimin just shook his head, walking away. Jungkook excitedly jumped in front of him to fight him.

'Jungkook, he needs to be careful. Don't bulldoze him.' I warn him. Jimin looks at me and smiles, nodding as a thank you. Jungkook just ignores me and goes back to pulling Jimin along.

'How was it?' Youjin came over to me all excited

'You'll find out. I'm sure you'll spar with him eventually. Now get ready. I'm not taking it easy on you.' I warn her

'I feel like showing off today, so bring it.' She pulled up a bit of her dobok up, ready to fight.

She ran like a crazy person towards me, leaving her chest open. Love that. I did a nice back kick, but it might have been a bit hard as she landed on her ass, 2 feet back. Everyone looked over to see her on the ground.

'That's what you get for running.' Coach tells her as she gets up.

She just laughs at herself, 'Remind me never to do that again.'

'Never do that again.' I tell her, laughing. She didn't listen. She did it again, this time flying into Jungkook.

'You should have told me you've fallen for me.' Jungkook teases her. He caught her just as she was about to fall again.
Even the coach facepalmed himself at his cheesy joke.
