Love At First Kick

39

It's been over a week since the tournament. My leg is a lot better. The bruise is almost gone, and it's mostly greenish now. I'm not used to just sitting on the side and watching other people train. At least I got to watch Jimin train without being disturbed, so that was pretty amazing.

But now it's time for me to go back to the training. The results for the national team are coming out today. We will find out if we made it or not. We know we did, but it's becoming official today.

'You okay?' Jimin nudges me, asking quietly as we're in class

'Yeah, yeah. I was just thinking about how the results are coming out today.' I smile at him

'Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. I wonder when we're gonna have to go to the training centre. I wanna see what it looks like.' He gets all excited

'I still haven't recovered from everything I've seen last week.' Hobi says

'You speak as if you were the one fighting.' I chuckle

'No, but you two scared the shit out of me. How do you move like that?' He asks

'Training, Hobi. A lot of training.' I sigh

'She is pretty scary, isn't she?' Jimin beams at him

'I don't know man. You put like 3 guys to sleep. You're terrifying, too.' Poor Hobi shudders

'He is pretty badass, isn't he?' I grin, all proud

'You both have issues. I'm just happy we're good friends.' Hobi jokes

'You do realize we are not allowed to fight outside the tournaments? If he hurt anyone, we are automatically removed from the team, and banned from competing, possibly for life.' Jimin explains

'Shit, seriously? What if someone attacks you first?' Hobi is surprised

'We can defend ourselves, but we need a witness or proof that it was self-defence. But we can't attack anyone ourselves.' I answer him

'That's crazy. I guess it makes sense to some degree, but knowing what you guys can do but are not allowed to... it's insane.' He mumbles

'It's not like we run around looking to beat up people.' Jimin laughs. 'We have enough of that in the gym and the tournaments.'

'Did you two ever fight?' He asks

'Pfft. All the time.' Jimin smiles brightly. 'She usually  beats the crap out of me.'

'Only because you're letting me.' I roll my eyes

'No. I'm holding back a bit. Big difference. You do the same thing, though. Don't think I don't notice.' He wiggles his eyebrows at me

'You two are really proud of each other for being so insane. You have issues.' Hobi chuckles

'Wouldn't you be if you were me? I mean, having a hot boyfriend is one thing. It's even better if he's a good person. But then on top of all of that, he's a certified badass. Tell me that's not a full-on jackpot.' I make my point, making Jimin snort and hide his face in his hands

'You know what, now that you put it like that, I absolutely agree. Be proud.' He pats me on the back, smiling at me

'Thank you. I rest my case.' I sigh as if I just ran a marathon, and sit back, happy with myself

'That was a nice case you presented back there.' Jimin teases once we were heading to the gym, walking hand in hand

'I just said the truth.' I smile at him

'A certified badass...' he mumbles and starts laughing. He was still lightly chuckling as we were getting into the gym. I couldn't help but laugh along seeing him so happy.
