Love At First Kick

43

Everyone took off their equipment and sat down to relax and stretch. The coaches left us as I'm going to be closing up.

'You feeling any better?' Youji asks Hyjun

'Yes. Got some air. Got myself an empty stomach. I'm great.' He chuckles

'I'm sorry, I don't want to be rude, but what the fuck was that? You beat the shit out of me and then you made Hyjun throw up?' Mon speaks up, talking to Jimin

'Sorry, man. I just figured you guys weren't pulling back, so you would be okay with me doing the same.' Jimin answers him, shaking his legs as he sitting on the floor

'Neither one of us got to even touch you!' He argues

'Maybe not me, but you sure as hell tried to knock her out.' Jimin tells him, gesturing at me. 'If she didn't move on time she would have been put to sleep. And he didn't pull back either. She almost ended up with broken ribs. You have good 30 kg on her.' He sounds pissed off again

'I didn't see her having any issues with Ijogu. She beat the crap out of him.' Mon argues

'Oh, I'm more than aware she can hold her own. She's done it to me more than once. But you pissed me off.'

'I don't see how that's your issue.' Mon argues again

'That's his girlfriend, you idiot.' Hyjun smacks him over the head, getting him to stop arguing. I guess Jimin explained it to him while they were outside.

'Oh, shit.' Mon says, looking at me

'Yes. Ooh, shit.' Hyjun chuckles. 'But even if not, he's got a point. We did go a bit too hard. Sorry about that.' Hyjun apologizes to me

'All good. I'll just send you my medical bills if my ribs are broken.' I joke

'I only went hard with her because I saw what she did to others. Especially Ijogu. I didn't feel like getting KOed.' Mon clicks his tongue

'She only does that if you trigger her with something.' Jungkook adds, then starts giggling, remembering his own case

'I'm not sure which one of you is worse. She won't let you breathe until the round is done, and he will knock you out. You guys are both insane.' Mon sighs heavily

'We've been telling them that for months.' Suri adds, making Hyjun chuckle

'Note taken. Don't hit Rin.' Mon jokes

'Youji, too. Then you'll be dealing with me.' Jungkook threatens him.
Youji looked so happy. I thought she was going to burst and jump on him.

'How about we don't go full power on anyone who's half our weight? Imagine if I did to, let's say Ina here, what I did to the two of you.' Jimin asks, chuckling

'Good point. Also, I'm never fighting you again.' Hyjun laughs

'Make that two of us.' Mon adds, chuckling as well

We ended up staying in the gym for a good hour, talking and joking. More people joined the conversation and they turned out to be pretty nice.

'So, both of you are on the national team?' Ina asks, looking at Jimin and me

'Yes.' Jimin smiles at her

'I kinda figured as much. I mean, I've heard about you about 3 years back, so I've been following you and all. I was surprised that you weren't on the team earlier.' Ijogu says to Jimin

'Oh, um.. thanks?' Jimin laughs. 'Sorry, I don't know what to say to these things.'

'He is the most lost person. He still doesn't get that people know him.' I tell Ijogu, laughing at Jimin
