Love At First Kick

34

About lunchtime, quite a few people leave. Those who lost their fight already, can't always be bothered to stay and watch. The stands are still teaming with people, so it's not like it's any easier to breathe, but you can move around a little bit easier.
We got a bit more comfortable on the stands, making a little nest.

The first fight after the break was Suri, followed by Jimin.

By the time 2 o'clock hit, she was ready and stretched.
'I think I ate too much.' She exhales, holding her tummy

'More strength. Just don't throw up.' I tell her

'Jimin, you are soon after. Get ready.' Coach Yong comes over to tell him. He has been everywhere around the gym, only coming over to let us know to be ready. That's how he is.

'Park!' A little random group comes up to him, smiling and yelling over each other

'What are you guys doing here?' Jimin smiles, going to them. They all swarm around him, hugging him.

'We came to watch you, duuh! We watched from over there, but the view is way better here.' A guy says to Jimin

'Sorry everyone, new club, meet the old club.' He quickly introduces us. Oh, I see. We all bow to each other a little.

'Jimin, you're killing it, as always. I heard you're making the team if you win.' One of the girls that was with the old team is beaming at him

'Yes, that's correct. Let's hope it works out.' He replies. 'You guys have fun, but I've got to run now. Just don't break anything down.' He chuckles.

His old club joined us on the rail, already talking to Jungkook and Youji.

'Good luck, Jimin.' Everyone wishes him. Even the old guys hugged him, and all that

He was looking a bit too jittery while he was gathering his things.
'Jimin, are you alright?' I ask a bit worried

He sighs deeply, 'I think so. I need to recharge.' He pulls me in, hugging me tightly. I was just rubbing his back, comforting him

'You got this. Believe me, they are way more afraid of you than you are of them.' I tell him

'Blind fate again.' He chuckles, 'Thank you, though.' He pulls away and gives me a smile before he goes away. Suri already left and is waiting by the court for the fight prior to hers to end.

I came down to the rail, joining everyone else so we could watch.
'I know you, you're Min Rin, right?' One of the guys offers me his hand, 'I'm Cheng.'

'Nice to meet you, Cheng.' I smile at him

'I saw you fighting earlier. That was crazy.' he smiles at me

'Thanks. But I think this will be way more exciting to watch.' I am all happy to see him fight. You can't look away from him.

Suri was on first. The girl against her put up a fight but didn't stand a chance. Suri was 3 times stronger. You could see it just by watching how they react to hits. She won with the girl throwing in a towel after she got her second nose bleed.

'You have some scary fighters.' One of their girls say

'She used to be on the team. She is crazy good.' Jungkook says to her

We saw Jimin walking up to the court. He was huffing and puffing, lightly jumping to stay warmed up. He was nervous.

We started cheering him on as he was getting his shield put on. He looked over at us, nodding lightly.
'We are still waiting on those abs!' Now Jungkook yells, making Jimin shake his head in disbelief and all of us laughing, including his old team
