Love At First Kick

24

We got there around 4:30 and changed. I warmed up, stretched, and started on my Poomsae.

'What is left?' He asks

'I need to do the ones I'm not so sure about the most. Sipjin, Jitae and Cheonkwon.' 13,14,15. One of those is bound to show up.

'Right. I don't know them as well, but I can help with the movements.' He says. Considering he only got his 1DAN last year, he doesn't know past Koryo, which is number 9. He did however learn the rest because he found it interesting. But, obviously, he is a fighter. This is more of my area than his.

We recorded everything we did so far, going through the videos, seeing if we missed anything. I've pretty much perfected them in this short time I've been practising. Kind of proud of myself.

'I still feel like I should learn Hansu and Ilyeo.' I mutter. Those are the last ones, the master ones. 16 and 17.

'I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it in a competition.' He says

'Call it a hunch. Let's open up Hansu on YouTube. Let me see what it looks like.' He finds a few videos and we watch them together.

'Am I just crazy, or does Koryo look harder than this?' I ask him and he just laughs

'I don't even know what to say. I swear I memorized half of it just watching.' He jokes

'You know what? I'm gonna learn it, purely for the fun of it.' I say

He laughs at me, 'You're insane, but I support you. Go for it.'

After about 15 minutes, I memorized all of it. I usually learn 3 by 3 elements, repeating them over and over, putting them together. Then once I get the movements down, I tend to perfect them.

'Not because of my feelings or anything, but I think that looked pretty much perfect.' He flashes me his perfect smile, brushing his hair back.

'D-Don't do that.' I feel my cheeks burning. The way he brushes his hair back is hot on another level. It gets me so flustered.

'Do what? I only bru-OOOH! Seriously? That?' He raises his eyebrows at me, bewildered with this new found information

'Shut up.' I complain, mumbling, trying to avoid the eye contact.

He gets up and walks over to me, pulling me into a hug, 'How can you be so cute?' He giggles
I heard someone opening the door so I panicked, and used self-defence, flipping him over to the ground.
He groaned at the fall, wondering what the hell just happened, then he saw Jungkook and Suri walking in, and started laughing.

'Sorry.' I whisper

'It's fine. Nice save.' He kept laughing

'What, the fuck, are you two doing?' Suri looks shocked, and Jungkook looks terrified

'We were just practising good old self-defence. I guess she still remembers it.' Jimin says, sitting up

'You two have issues.' Suri says as she walks past us to the changing room

'I swear, you just keep getting scarier by the day.' Jungkook looks at me, dodging me a bit as he goes to the changing room as well

Once they were out of sight I sighed heavily, 'I'm so sorry. I panicked. Are you okay?'

'I heard the term love hurts, but I never wanted to experience it first hand.' He laughs. He is okay it seems. 'Still impressed how you can just flip me like that.' He shakes his head

'I will just go back to Hansu.' I chuckle, helping him up. He tightened his belt and fixed his dobok.

With time the gym filled up, and we started our class. We were sparring again, this time Jungkook was avoiding me. It was quite funny.
